Circuit Party 

A large, gay dance party, something like a gay version of a rave, but with a gay-oriented music selection (usually pop, progressive house, and tribal). Events are well-promoted, publicized, advertised and organized, are often attended by thousands, can be big charity fundraisers, and are usually expensive to attend.

Since each circuit party occurs on a specific weekend and in a specific city once a year, and there are many parties on "the circuit", travel and planning are required. Travelling from party to party becomes part of a circuit boy's lifestyle of travel, networking and partying.

Some examples of circuit parties: White Party in Palm springs (April), Black Party in New York (March), the Black and Blue Ball in Montreal (October), the Blue Ball in Philadelphia (January).

These are often all-night and multi-day events, and party drugs such as ecstasy, GHB, ketamine and crystal are frequently taken by partygoers.

Circuit Party 

A place for drugs and unprotected sex among barely functional adult man-children who make sane, well adjusted gays look bad. They have 6 hour skin routines but do not own a mattress or a trash can because they are never in the city they work in and have not worked more than 4 days in a single month in 6 years.

Doubles as a log cabin republican getaway.
Ethan M.: "Next week we're traveling to white party to do coke, X, G, Tina, bath salts, and assorted neurotoxins."

Ethan S.: "Wow, sounds great. Ethan J. and I just came back from purple party. We went there right after Ski Week during COVID lockdown"

Ethan J.: "Yeah it was great but we saw a lot of poors, fats, and Asians on our way to pick up our anabolic steroids and get our Gorillapox vaccines. Sadly Ethan H. died of meningitis in the middle of the last week's Tea Dance. Or maybe that was Ethan D. Ethan H. might have overdosed on Fentanyl. I can't remember I'm coming down off a high right now."

Ethan W.: "Wow, I can't wait for my first circuit party so much! I can't wait to become just like you guys."

Ethan M.: "Here, take this unlabeled syringe and you'll be on your way!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
