Not bad for the Atlanta-born singer who is currently touring the country and plans on releasing her second album sometime next month. EDGE's Bryen Dunn spoke with the singer about her show, her musical tastes and her gay fans.

Given that Paulo (also known as "Lord of the Drums") has played Black Party twice before, this year's version of the Saint-at-Large's Rites make this Paulo's Triple Crown, as it were.

And with DJ Escape providing the music, it was three hours of non-stop fun. Here's the pics.

This past week it moved from Rumor to Venu for what's the hottest midweek event in town. EDGE was there taking pics. Take a look at who was out.

There's anger in the air. Revolutionary fervor. Another headline reads: -openbracket-italic-closebracket-GOVERNMENT DEMOLISHED. NEW BLACK PARTY APPEARS.-openbracket-/italic-closebracket- Taken from the Spanish term "golpe de estado," golpe means coup d'etat: the sudden overthrowing of a state government-which means that, once again, this year's -openbracket-link|http://www.saintatlarge.com/|Black Party-closebracket- invite has caught the American zeitgeist and the revolutionary zeal in the vox populi with uncanny prescience. The Great Recession, with its discomfiting parallels to the final years of the Weimar Republic, has unleashed the demons of debauchery and decadence, with a burning desire for a totally new order-and that's where Black Party XXXI commences.

It's like the boys' Circuit parties, only no drug fallouts, just fall-ins (to the pool).

Club Cafe where DJ AGA plays the videos in the newly renovated Moonshine. There's plenty else happening in the club as well, including giveaways from EDGE. Here are the photos from last Friday night.

If not, you're likely be surprised by its new look. No longer a maze of small rooms, it has been opened up with a fresh new look. EDGE's Kay Bourne gave the club a visit -- here's her report.

Why a British duo sought after for their melodic and musically rich sound by the biggest names in the music industry to headline the White Party? We'll let him explain it: "After last year's 20th anniversary of the party, I wanted to break out of the same mold, take a different angle, get internationally known DJs. Everyone 25 and under kept saying, 'Freemasons! Freemasons! Freemasons!'"

This year's Winter Party Festival takes place March 3 through the 8 and, once again, promises to deliver something for everyone. Even better, the event raises important dollars that benefit many throughout the year.

The skyline will immediately remind you of New York, but after you land, you'll feel you're in a suburb of Milan. Before long, however, you'll experience a patchwork quilt of Paris, Tokyo, Athens and Istanbul, among other cities.

Epic at the House of Blues where guest DJ Nina Flowers provided the mixes. EDGE was there to catch the action.

EDGE was on hand for EDGEFriday's this past week -- here's our pics!

EDGESanFrancisco.com went 1:1 with new porn star sensation Conner Habib to find out more about him and the industry for our monthly Community Q&A. How does he mix sex in front of a camera and dating? Read on for the answer.

See who was out last Friday checking out the renovation!

Such was the case on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City as Miss'd America pageant contestant Michelle Dupree took the stage and delivered a knock-em-dead, eleven o'clock number channeling the spirits of Ethel, Ella, Judy, and Josephine that had the audience immediately on its feet with near-universal consensus of the night's most electrifying performance and ultimate winner.
