False alarm: Grindr isn't going anywhere

Posted on

Several blogs — including Queerty and Joe.My.God. — are reporting that Apple has pulled Grindr from the iTunes Store. According to Wikipedia, Grindr was removed from the app store last night at midnight. It’s unclear whether the removal is related to Apple’s recent purge of “adult” apps, and some are already alleging homophobia. If you already have Grindr on your phone, it’s still reportedly working — you just can’t download it. This development comes as Grindr was preparing to celebrate its first anniversary, with parties around the globe between March 23 and 29. One of those parties was set for Station 4 on Friday night.

UPDATE: Looks like this is a false alarm. Queerty is now reporting that the founder of the Grindr app, Joel Simkhai, said it will be available again soon. And sure enough, it’s back in the app store as of 12:48 p.m. Dallas time. Publicity stunt?

Station 4 to feature special performance by aerialist Vincent Packard Saturday

Posted on

I just read that Station 4 will be bringing in aerial artist, Vincent Packard for a special show this Saturday. He is part of the Los Angeles outfit,Vertigo Posse. They look like the entire aerial acrobat section of Cirque du Soleil and by the looks of their videos, astounding to watch. Packard goes solo in this video which should preview what he’ll be doing at S4 this weekend.

But I wonder, can people dance under him while performing? C’mon, that would be cool.

Deborah Cox at S4 Saturday night

Posted on

R&B/dance diva Deborah Cox turned it on Saturday during Caven’s Carnivale 5 celebration. Thanks to YouTube poster ilovedancemusik for capturing some great video of the gig. He has three others from the show.

Here, Richard Curtin introduces Cox opening with the Phil Collins hit “Something Happened on the Way to Heaven.” By the looks of it, she played that show like she was at Nokia. We like that kind of fierceness.

No cover for Facebook fans of S4 tonight

Posted on

The peeps at Station 4 sent a Facebook message this morn to members of its group announcing tonight as Facebook Free Friday . That means, members 21 and up will get in free with a password. And if there’s no cover, that means perhaps an extra drink for the night. Better yet, it relieves the wallet a bit from all that holiday spending.

So when you head in tonight, just utter the words “Dance. Floor” and you are in. No word if this is an ongoing thing but they do say “phrase for this week.” Guess you’ll have to find out by being a group member.

Meet the Perry Twins tonight at JR.’s

Posted on

This week, we featured the L.A. based Perry Twins DJ team. They’ll be spinning tonight at Station 4 but their big event is tomorrow’s “Heat of the Night” celebrating the Legal Hospice of Texas’ 20th anniversary. That’s already a busy weekend but I just heard they have one quick gig before all that. Doug and Derek Perry will be at JR.’s Bar & Grill tonight for a meet and greet from 6–8 p.m.

This is their first time playing in Big D. Show them a warm Dallas welcome so they’ll want to come back and spin again.

In case you missed it, JR.'s tops the WFAA-List as best gay and lesbian bar in Dallas

How fun does Station 4 look from this photo on WFAAs Web site?

The new WFAA-List (as in A-list) ranked JR.’s Bar & Grill the No. 1 gay and lesbian bar in Dallas thanks to some 60,000+ voters in the poll. Although we doubt all of those actually voted for this category. Perhaps just 10 percent did. The rest of the top five included the Round-Up Saloon, Illusions, Sue Ellen’s and Station 4 in that order. But we’re a little confused by the photography they used to identify some of the bars. Is it me or does this Station 4 pic look more like it came from the ID. channel?
