Welcome to Wire Magazine’s annual Winter Party Festival special issue! We sat down with WPF Chair Sergio Orlando for a first hand preview of this year's Festival. We also interviewed three of this year's DJs to get a sneak peek of some of the parties, learn why they love WPF and ask what they have planned for you. Our special WPF issue also includes the most comprehensive Guide to all the Official Parties and Events. We encourage you to use our Guide to plan ahead and maximize your Festival experience. Our very handsome cover and centerfold model is Carsten Gauslow. In Flix, film critic Alyn Darnay reviews The Gentlemen. Top Trax shows why Kesha just doesn't care what people think of her or what other artists are putting out there, and why she'll always do her own dance!
