Customers can park their cars safely and securely in the private parking lot to the south of Sidelines for the entire evening or as long as they wish. The valet parking fee is $5, is open to the public, and will be available seven days a week from 4 pm. For some time, the owners of Sidelines, Laurie Whittaker and Marty Kildea, have heard the complaints from their customers about the difficulties of finding nearby parking along Wilton Drive. They decided to organize and pool the resources of nearby businesses to employ a valet parking company. Shawn & Nick’s Gelato Station, J. Ryan Realty, The Outlet and Sidelines Sports Bar have teamed up to welcome patrons to their end of the drive. “Now, customers won’t have to keep watching the time to know when to feed the parking meters and will be able to relax and enjoy their time at Sidelines”, commented Laurie Whittaker.

RaroVideo U.S. will release Oscar Wilde’s decadent classic with a cult gay following The Secret of Dorian Gray on DVD May 17. Never before released on DVD in the U.S., this is a seventies classic Italian film restored to its original splendor. In London, a wealthy, god-like, young man, Dorian Gray, loves Sybil, an aspiring actress; thanks to her, he’s momentarily less self-centered. He’s also sitting, scantily clad, for a portrait painted by his ascot-wearing friend, Basil.

lgbt-events-south-florida-15When it’s done, Dorian complains he’ll grow old while it stays unchanged- the classic plight of the vain. On the same night, as if he has sold his soul to the devil, exchanging vanity for morality, he ends it with Sybil, and then accepts the seductive offer of a party’s hostess to sleep with her. The next day, the painting looks slightly older. In horror and fascination, Dorian hides it away and continues a life of degradation. Over time, as the portrait becomes hideous, he’s unchanged by his ever-increasing libidinal life; finally, he and Basil face the painting. The exceptionally groovy score by Giuseppe De Luca enhances the seventies milieu. The Secret of Dorian Gray is 93 minutes long and can be found in most movie retailers for $19.98
