Gay adult video companies COLT Studio and Bel Ami are ushering in San Francisco's Gay Pride Weekend with their second annual Boys to Men party. Sponsored by Castro Gulch, a gay XXX-DVD, toys, and leather emporium, the June 24 event is a benefit for the Stop AIDS Project.
The benefit, to be held at Jillian's at Sony Metreon, will feature screenings of new Bel Ami and COLT movies, silent auctions, a performance by illusionist Christian, and appearances by Bel Ami Boys Yves Carradine, Tommy Hansen, and Julian Armanis, and COLT Men Chris Wide, Carlo Masi, and Mike Dasher. COLT will also use the occasion to introduce two new exclusives, Luke Garrett and Gage Weston.
"Last year's Boys to Men benefit raised $12,000 for Stop AIDS," Jim Lukes, district manager of the Gulch stores and their affiliates, told GAYVN. "I hope to surpass that this year." Advance tickets to the event are already on sale at BoysToMen.net and at Castro Gulch and Folsom Gulch in person.
Advance tickets are available at two levels, VIP Access ($100) and General ($50). At-the-door prices will be higher. A special VIP Pre-Party will begin at 6:00 p.m. General admission ticket holders will be admitted at 7:30. VIP ticket holders only are also invited to a special photo opportunity with the models on Saturday morning at Folsom Gulch.
Boys to Men continues on Saturday with in-store appearances at Castro Gulch (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) by the Bel Ami and COLT models and climaxes on Sunday, June 26, at the Gulch Pride Booth where the models will be available for autographs and photos from noon till 6 p.m.
