On January 27th, Brandon Voss and Tony Fornabaio’s Rockit Fridays had a grand opening at XL Nightclub, the latest nightlife destination by FV Events and John Blair Promotions. Located inside the Hell's Kitchen gay urban resort, The Out NYC (512 West 42nd Street,) this enjoyable weekly event—with wall to wall cuties, muscle boys, and the “Fire Hazard” bartenders—takes place in a dance and party space with a 2400-seat cabaret and lounge catering to hotel guests and the queer community.

The amazing Jonte. So much appreciated by his fans, that they kept asking me throughout the evening what time he would be performing
