31st Dec, ‘09: The GayBombay New Year’s Eve Party at Karma!

Still wondering how to get the new decade started? If you’re hot, happening, there’s only one place to be – at Karma for the GayBombay New Year’s Eve party!

nygbAs the thousands of people who have been a part of the event over the years will tell you, there’s nothing quite like it. The biggest party on GB’s crowded annual calendar is also one of India’s biggest gay events, drawing party animals from every part of the world. For those who have never experienced the magic of the GB New Year’s Eve party before, all we can say is: get set to have your outlook on life changed forever.

Karma makes for the ideal party venue on New Years, when people are out in numbers. Through the night, if you need a little break from the excitement of the large dance floor, you can chill a while on the sofas in the spacious showroom area for some nourishment. Food and drink are unlimited, unless, you want something off the menu, like a glass of wine or a breezer. And the music goes on till the wee hours of the morning, so you can dance till you drop.

Don’t let the coming of a new decade pass you by. Come on over and celebrate with the GB crowd on New Years Eve. We promise you, it will be a night to remember.

Just an update on GB’s New Year Party:
First, we’ve done a bit of counting and realised this is probably GB’s 200th party!

We’re saying probably because we knew the 200th party would fall in December, but its possible that our memories of some of the parties – the really really good ones! – are a bit hazy. But what the hell – this is going to be our 200th party! One more reason to celebrate!

And second, we’ve got another bit of good news. In view of the large numbers who come for the New Years Party, the Liquid Lounge management has agreed to give us two floors! So usually for the New Years party we take over the whole ground floor, but this year we will take over the whole first floor (where we usually have our parties) AND the showroom area on the right on the ground floor where the buffet is laid out. So at one stroke we hugely increase the space.

And all this for Rs2000 for unlimited food and alcohol which really has to be one of the best deals for a party in a decent place almost anywhere in town. Make sure you’re there to celebrate GB’s 200th party this New Year’s Eve!
