Shangri-La 28

'Black Ball Returns' scream the posters for Asia's largest gay club event, the 28th edition of which was originally due to take place on March 19. Resident DJs Sawa, Chu* and Saru will be doing their thang in the main arena, and there'll be go-go boys and drag queens galore, plus a zone devoted to J-pop goddess (and gay icon) Namie Amuro. All genders and persuasions are welcome, although ladies won't be allowed to venture into the outdoor marquee, where the folks behind Shinjuku Ni-chome's monthly thirtysomething bash 30-Dai De Nai To are holding what they describe as 'a blind date revelry of 3,000 hunks!' Brilliant.
