SUMMARY:Handsome 14th Birthday Bash
DESCRIPTION:I remember the date of Handsome’s first party ‘cos it loo
 ked auspicious: 10.11.12. After a disastrous launch party the month befor
 e that didn’t just fall flat on its face\\, it buried itself and gave i
 ts own eulogy\\, a Toby Grimditch rebrand the following month had us back
  at Visions in Dalston. Eddy who ran it was great as after the first part
 y most owners would have told me to sling my hook. He also championed a g
 ay night at a straight venue that had a very different regular crowd whic
 h I respected. We were later invited by Dan Beaumont to Superstore where 
 we had some wicked parties and guests. Dan also let me put on other night
 s and was a great support in those years. \\nPre-pandemic our final home 
 was East Bloc where I shared many a late night with the EB family - thank
  you Wayne. At this time we were also taking the night up to Manchester w
 ith Dave Kendrick and Paul Flynn (THAT train journey home) - a lot of new
  friends made & brain cells lost. I really loved those parties… maybe w
 e’ll get up there again. Just before lockdown we threw a party at our h
 ome Eagle London where it’s been ever since & where I started my first 
 night\\, Carpet Burn\\, nearly two decades ago. Mark Oakley & I go way ba
 ck to my teen years when I met him in the Bagley’s office and we discov
 ered we had a mutual love of John Waters.\\nThat we’re still going four
 teen years later says that launch date was indeed auspicious. I still get
  promoter stress but I’ve got better at keeping it to myself. After las
 t Saturday’s banging party with Giles Smith\\, I’m reminded why I sti
 ll do it. I love house music. I love bringing good people together. And I
  love not having an office job.\\nWe’ll be celebrating 14 years on Nove
 mber 14th with longtime Handsome guest Terry Farley & venerable house hea
 d Stuart Patterson making his debut. I hope you can join us.\\nThank you 
 to all the venue owners\\, DJs\\, staff\\, mates\\, randoms and party peo
 ple who have supported it. You’re all Handsome ❤️\\nhttps://www.gay
