Weekend: ‘Sex’ Parties at Rain and Buzios
Alamo Drafthouse booked at least eight large-scale “Sex” parties for opening week, while fielding requests from hundreds of small groups of (mostly) women for tickets or reservations.

“I am shocked to say that ‘Sex and the City’ has generated more interest … than any movie before it,” says Samantha Cox, who has wrangled such events for the Ritz, South and Village iterations of the Alamo for five years.

“All shows of ‘Sex and the City’ are completely sold out all weekend and have been sold out for almost two weeks,” says the chain’s Mike Sherrill. “This is seriously bigger than ‘Star Wars’ in regard to advance ticket sales.”
It helps that the Alamo recently landed its full liquor license and is therefore capable of supplying those promised cosmos.

As of Thursday, the Belmont had arranged five “Sex” parties.

We attended a “Sex” happy hour at Rain that combined powerful cosmos with soothing treatments from Milk and Honey Day Spa.
Later, we witnessed post-premiere parties at the Copa and Buzios Room, which included the requisite wedding dresses and funny hats.

The Buzios Room is quickly becoming one of my preferred downtown lounges. Even with a party crowd, the dark, cool space radiates calm.
