HIV WEEKEND CENTRE APPEAL

You may recall a previous posting about the need for weekend HIV testing somewhere handy. Well, Tony T writes with good news.  Health Initiatives (HI) have got funding and it's happening.  HI (www.healthinitiatives.org) aims to empower young people under 30 living with HIV/AIDS.

DD REVIEW: THE FRIENDLY SOCIETY

Pop down an unassuming door near some clip joints in Soho and you may find yourself in a production of Maria in Wonderland - for this was created by The Lovely Maria & Co. When you pop out at the bottom you'll find yourself in a slightly surreal bar that is a good stab at a genuinely friendly society of regulars and irregulars made up of trendy but unassuming individuals usually found chatting - this is not a cottage with a bar attached. Well, perhaps that over-romanticises it but…

VAULT 139

Manbar will be opening a second London gay venue soon. They're being very coy about where it is. So far all we know that it will be called Vault 139 and offer the same selection of nights as Manbar but in a larger, more comfortable air conditioned space. It will also have extended hours from 1pm till 1am , sensible door prices with entry including your 1st drink on every session. It's "close to Warren St and Goodge St tube stations". We don't think its 139 Tottenham Court Road, unless its hidden inside Warren St Tube. Any other ideas?
