Fridae

First Love of The Happy Prince is a showcase of the works of Koichi Imaizumi who helmed First Love, which played to sold out screenings at the Hong Kong Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in November. Fridae speaks to the director, music composer Hiroki Iwasa and actor Hiroshi Murakami.

Fridae.com/Aids Concern, HX Productions, Fruits and Suits, HKU Queer Campus, Cocktails and Friends and Towel Club - these were some of the groups with their boats that set sail last Sunday for Hong Kong's "gay pride on water." Victor Chau recaps the day's action.

Nation's all time favorites, David S and Victor Cheng were the DJ's of the house until Kate Monroe came on at 4am for Feelin' Good, the closing party.

Nation.VI's second pool side party was finally graced by the sun god Apollo and saw a beautiful setting sun that warmed up the oiled bodies.

The one-year wait for Nation.VI is finally over, though waiting for the next might sadly be forever.

Partygoers at the Muscle Beach Pool Party - third in the Nation.VI party line-up and co-hosted by Ageha Japan - saw not just muscle boys, but also a torrential downpour: thunder, lightning and heavy rain.

Attendees at Nation.VI's opening party Military Ball - featuring Argentina-born LA-based DJ De Le�n - partied till dawn at the Hilton Phuket on Oct 20.

Connie Chan and Wei Siu-lik are Hong Kong's most well-known lesbian activist couple having led the July 1 march in 2005 and co-organised two annual IDAHO marches. Fridae talks to the couple of four years about their political and personal goals.

Aptly known as The People's DJ, David Knapp extended his set and kept everyone's spirits up as they danced by the pool till the sun set on the final day of festivities!

The fifth annual Nation party, which is considered the region's largest gay party, attracted some 2,000 attendees. Held at host hotel Crowne Plaza's ballrooms, the crowd was treated to DJs Kate Monroe (Australia), Manny Lehman (US) and a special greeting specially recorded by Madonna for Nation.V.
