Toybox Co-Founder Passes Away

Same Same today announced that Brett Bush, co-founder of Sydney’s Toybox and Luminere parties, has passed away. As one of the most innovative and successful event organisers in Australia he bought joy to thousands of people. His absence will be felt deeply throughout the community.

Brett and his partner Andy started the famous Toybox parties back in 2004 at The Metro on George Street and they grew to become one of the most impressive and sophisticated events seen in the Australian gay scene.

While the circumstances surrounding this tragedy have not yet surfaced, those close to Brett have asked for privacy and respect at this time.

Our thoughts are with all of Brett’s family and friends.

Rumours surfaced a month ago that Brett was very ill, and that was the reason Luminere was cancelled.

I would like to thank both Brett and Andy for bringing so much joy and fun back to the dance party scene. The toybox parties that I attended were the best!!

I am certain I speak for the community when I say that I hope Andy will continue the journey that both he and Brett started and bring the fun back to parties.

The next Toybox is scheduled for Sunday March 2nd 2008.

Sydney is going to go off this weekend

This weekend Sydney has on offer so many parties for us to choose from, that most wont sell out.

Zircus (Sleaze Ball) on Saturday night is the Blue Ribbon event, the curtain comes up at 10pm with thousands expected, this promises to be one spectacular party.

For those who don't want to sleep they can jump on an express bus after Zircus to Home Sexual for the "Red Light District" party from 8am to 6pm.

From their you have many choices, food might be the best one but "Action" at the art house might be worth checking out from 10pm.

One event not mentioned yet is the return of Luminere, from the producers of Toybox. Sunday 1pm to 9 is the event that my partner and I have chosen as I am working during Zircus protecting the city of Sydney.

It has been 6 months since the last big weekend of parties (Mardi Gras / Toybox) and with all the stress of the past 3 months, I am going to enjoy myself at this one, that's a certain!

The organisers have alot to prove this time as the last Toybox was a bit of a screw up for some.
If these images of last year are anything to go by, we are in for a huge day party, some of the first photo's on the web will be here.
