LAST OF SUMMER, FIRST OF FALL
Johnny's head is still spinning after last night's momentous ROB FERNANDEZ tribute HOUSE OF ROB at PACHA and its massive DJ bill - huge love and congrats for all who helped put that together in honor of the club legend. As Fall pushes forward with its usual super charged NYC spunk we've got lots of news to share. Johnny spins Friday night 9/18 at EVERYTHING, a new monthly at the gorgeous, historic DIAMOND HORSESHOE. Then the unofficial end of Summer comes Saturday night at the last DANIEL NARDICIO UNDERWEAR PARTY on FIRE ISLAND. He ends September at MILAN FASHION WEEK for the AMFAR MILANO GALA 9/26 and his continuing musical collaboration with MAX MARA on 9/24. Read down for details and as always, Thank You For Dancing!

NEWS AND NIGHTS
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18
EVERYTHING
Producers BRIAN RAFFERTY and JOE ROSZAK debut a new monthly event at the gorgeous, historic DIAMOND HORSESHOE on West 48th Street and ask: "How often is it that you get an OPEN BAR in an architectural JEWEL built in 1938 that has been resurrected via a 20 MILLION dollar renovation?" Does sound enticing, especially when you add beats from JOHNNY DYNELL and BEN BAKER, hostesses including MOTHER JUAN AVIANCE, a bevy of birthday boys, drink specials all night and more. If you've never seen the glittering venue, this one is well worth the trip. Even if you have, it's Johnny's last NYC gig for the month so come out and give your EVERYTHING on the dance floor!
DIAMOND HORSESHOE

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19
THE DWORLD UNDERWEAR PARTY
CHERRY GROVE, FIRE ISLAND
The end of Summer finds Johnny spinning the last big party of the season on Fire Island. Daddy of Indie Gay Nightlife DANIEL NARDICIO has been producing his DWORLD UNDERWEAR PARTY for more than a decade in NYC, and brought it successfully to Fire Island's raunchier sister CHERRY GROVE a few years ago. The weekly hosted between 500-1000 visitors each Friday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and Johnny's residency helped make for a record-shattering Summer. Daniel also produced last weekend's super-popular SPARTACUS party, a full dress/undress affair (see picture below). This Summer at the beach has been a blast and should go out with one - thanks to the whole DWORLD staff and entourage, the ICE PALACE and everyone who came out so heartily.
More info and events at the DWORLD site.

MILAN FASHION WEEK
MAXMARA SPRING/SUMMER 2016
Johnny is off to Milan on Monday to continue his musical collaboration with the luxury fashion house MAXMARA - he created the soundtrack for their SPRING SUMMER 2016 fashion show on 9/24 and will be there to add special live touches.
amFAR MILANO 2015
While in Italy, Johnny spins for the second year in a row for amFAR MILANO next weekend. This MILAN FASHION WEEK gala benefiting amFAR unfolds on 9/26 at the stunning LA PERMANENTE. The seventh annual edition should be spectacular - The Italian fashion community has long been exemplary in its support of amfAR, and to date, this gala has raised more than $7 million for their lifesaving research. This year's edition includes a performance by Johnny's longtime pal DEBBIE HARRY and like all amfAR events, will draw an exciting and diverse range of distinguished guests, including many of the personalities and designers associated with Milan Fashion Week.

One of Johnny's favorite dance floors is the legendary Sheridan Square venue THE MONSTER for the Saturday night party MANSTER. When in town, he's at MANSTER the first Saturday of each month and you can bypass the cover charge with the password on the MANSTER Facebook page, linked below. This party is always a great time, with shows, hostess SIR HONEY DAVENPORT, go-go and a marvelously mixed gay crowd.

ONE MORE THING....
A helpful hint - we send out this newsletter no more than once a month. DO check the latest changes and additions at Johnny's FACEBOOK page or TWITTER feed before heading out, as a month is a long time in the NYC clubworld and beyond and we wouldn't want you to miss ANYTHING.
