When it comes to summertime parties, the difference between "good" and "legendary" can be enormous. It's pretty hard to mess up the staples of sunshine, crowds, and booze, but after that, a truly great party has ample freedom to separate itself from the pack. Some might choose to do so with big-name live music, or an elegant throwback vibe, or even a classic BBQ. But Andrés Rigal, the maestro behind Summertramp, had a different sort of meat market in mind when he wrapped up the DTLA party series this past weekend with one final gay waterpark blowout. More»

The whole point of the Fourth of July, a holiday that celebrates our independence, is that there's really no wrong way to choose to go about celebrating it. If you think the Fourth is all about kicking back with your buddies, firing up the grill, and working your way through one beer for every year America's been free, that's what it's all about. If you think it's about seeing some amazing fireworks, well, it's about that too. And if you're looking to seriously throw down with a crazy poolside dance party, good news: you're also right.

So, if you had to guess, how do you think Sunday's went down? More»

These are all excellent guesses, but at least over the summer, they are all incorrect. On the last Sunday of each month, the epicenter of polysexual madness is located in an astroturf'd parking lot just east of the Toy District in Downtown L.A., where outrageous costumes, inflatable waterslides, and copious amounts of intoxicants (along with straight-from-the-club DJ's) combine to form the party known only as Summertramp.

When you think of book signings, small children, tranny queens and cans of sparkling wine may not necessarily come to mind, and it's not just because you aren't hip. These are all somewhat exotic to the traditional book party, and only a truly special force in the universe like Jeremy Kost's newly released It's Always Darkest Before Dawn could have made them all essential parts of the equation for his signing last night at Bookmarc.
