Or if you cant be bothered, this is what the Guardian Newpaper had to say about our 13th Birthday party:

Marc Rowlands
The Guardian, Saturday 25 April 2009
Article history
Most monthly club nights congratulate themselves heartily if they manage to reach their 10th birthday, so straight-friendly gay night Poptastic, with sessions on Tuesdays and Saturdays, deserves particular mention for reaching its 13th. A runaway success almost from the off, the night firstly proved that indie music was not only viable on the gay scene, but longed for, and has since gone on to corner the market, hence its continued success (which sees it also hold residencies in Glasgow, Nottingham and Edinburgh). For this tuxedos and gowns-themed party, they switch venues from Alter Ego to the larger Birdcage, the club mentioned in association with the 8 April terror arrests. The famously jubilant atmosphere of the night, coupled with one room each for indie classics and brilliantly shameless second room pop fodder, should dispel any gloominess that the poor venue has suffered since.

WOW! Thanks 'The Guardian'
