CockyBoys, Manhunt to Throw Huge Party in Chicago May 24

NEW YORK—When the Grabby Awards take place over the Memorial Day weekend, there may just be a surprise win for Best New Duo. CockyBoys and Manhunt have teamed up to throw a major bash in celebration of CockyBoys 19 nominations, including 11 for the most nominated film of the year, Project GoGoBoy. TLA Gay, a retailer for gay film, will be on hand to support the event as well. The party will take place on Friday, May 24, from 11 pm – 3 am at Chicago's premier gay nightclub Hydrate as their “Confined” night returns with international DJ Alyson Calagna. Appearing all night will be eight of CockyBoy's most popular exclusives, including Max Ryder, Jake Bass, Bravo Delta, Jett Black, Dillon Rossi, JD Phoenix, Ricky Roman and Levi Karter. There will be a plethora of free give-aways all night long. While the party will celebrate the nominations, it will also mark the start of the Cocky Summer Tour, a traveling party around US nightclubs and Pride events.  Leading the tour will be Max Ryder, the CockyBoys Exclusive who was recently named the company's Director of Bookings and Live Events. Ryder was a headliner for last year's Project GoGoBoy world tour and has plenty of experience on the road. "After over 20 appearances last year for Project GoGoBoy, I'm more than ready to handle this new role," says Ryder. "We know how to put on amazing show that fans love, and if anyone knows how to wrangle models, it's me." Ryder proved his mettle as a booker this spring, when CockyBoys turned Ryder's cross-country trip with Jake Bass into a ground-breaking reality series, RoadStrip. If the series is any indication, Max Ryder means business. And that business is pure entertainment. CockyBoys owner and director Jake Jaxson is looking forward to a Grabby-filled week in Chicago saying, "I can't wait to attend the Grabby's this year in Chicago and to see all the fans in the area at the show, as well as at the events we have planned all week long, so come out and see us!" Manhunt, CockyBoys, TLA Gay and Jake Jaxson invite Grabby's attendees and the entire Chicago area to come have fun with the boys who have a good reputation for being bad.
