Blowoff Photo Recap

Let’s just say that this weekend’s Blowoff was out of control, off the hook, off the chain, or whatever the kids are saying these days. The venue was behind schedule in turning the room over to Mould & Morel, so by midnight the line stretched from Western Beef all the way back to Ninth Avenue. But once everybody was inside, …

Black Party 2008 Recap

Once again I failed to delay my arrival at the Black Party to an hour more amenable to sustaining my energy until the close of the event, an accomplishment I have only made four or five times in fifteen attendances, of which this year’s was my eleventh consecutive. Boo me. But as I had many out of town friends visiting, …

Shocker: Fully-Clothed Blogger Party!

My pals Matt and Damian celebrated their co-birthday yesterday. I think this is one of the few pics of my gang in which everybody has their shirts on. Father Tony and I took pics from the second floor, but as usual mine are blurry. Hmmm. There’s about a dozen bloggers in this shot.

Winter Party 2008 Slideshow

Father Tony has created a cute little video slideshow of our weekend at the Winter Party, in which I only look slightly hammered most of the time. Good editing. There’s some bare butts in this thing, so it’s possibly NSFW. Featured are our visits to Surfcomber’s pool party, the Aussiebum fashion show on Lincoln Road, the leather dance at Fort …

Under One Sun

Yesterday we attended the pool party at the Surfcomber, the Winter Party’s host hotel, where at the welcome center my gift bag was handed to me by a genial Colton Ford. Even the porn stars volunteer for Winter Party. DJ Alyson Calagna (second photo down) did a wonderful job spinning out the happy vocals and Father Tony and I lounged …

I Will Hold You Ten Times

As longtime readers may know, there are four or five JMG entries that I repost every year. My dear friend Daniel Johnson, who threw the most kickass Groundhog’s Day birthday parties for himself, would have been 51 years old today. His was a life that burned brightly and I am illuminated still. Daniel Johnson, 1957-1997. I Will Hold You Ten …

Bearded Beer Boys

With all that NYC has to offer, the centerpiece of my social life remains my Sunday afternoons at the Dugout. It’s like a weekly house party with a hundred of your best friends. Corny, but true. Clockwise from top left: Bob, Dudley, Damian, Dane, Superdaddy, Chris, Dustin, Scott, Dr. Jeff, Jerry, Randy.

Remembering The Party

I’ve started this post several times over since I got back from last week’s Trocadero Transfer 30th anniversary Remember The Party event in San Francisco. I usually get my event reviews up pretty quickly, but not this time. Part of the delay was due to difficulties in getting the video below uploaded from my camera, but I think that a …

Re-Chillaxin’

No more blogging today, I’m off for an all-blogger sleepaway weekend up at the Farmboyz gracious Connecticut home, in celebration of Father Tony’s retirement. Attending: Eddie, Little Tom (whose blog is on hiatus), Aaron, Dr. Jeff, Little David, and Chris. Amusingly, the Farmboyz have added a new AirPort to support the blogging needs of their guests. Tonight we’re going to …

Re-View Redux

Friday night, with Dr. Jeff, Chris, and Aaron, I attended the Erasure concert at Brooklyn’s McCarren Pool. The concert was typically fantastic and I walked away as amazed as always at Erasure’s enduring appeal. Many in the crowd could not have been out of diapers when Erasure first started rocking gay dance floors around the world. The massive McCarren Pool …

Class Photo

Saturday afternoon we herded most of our crew to Brooklyn, braving every pirate’s favorite subway line, the R, to attend the Big Lug party at Cattyshack, our favorite NYC lesbian bar. Only half of the guys in this photo have a blog. The other half are freaks.

And We Laughed

My good friend Jerry is staying with me for a week while he’s here for work. We’ve been pals since the late 80’s. Tonight he came home from a long day of meetings and noticed my passport sitting out. “Oh, where are you going?” “I just need a renewal. I’ve been meaning to do it forever. It’s been expired for …

Pier Dance 2007

This year’s Pier Dance was a fantastic (if occasionally gruelling) exercise in trying to stay with your friends, as the crush of 5000 men continuously attempts to separate you. It was like being in that episode of Star Trek when they visit the planet where nobody ever dies. Definitely not for the claustrophobic. Still, I managed to hang onto the …

The Gayest Corner On The Gayest Day

This Sunday I’ll be shepherding my festive flock of fabulous – oh wait, I can’t finish that alliteration – fabulous, um, strong gay men to the corner of Christopher and Gay Street to watch NYC’s 38th annual Pride March. History has taught us that corner is nicely shaded, although Sunday’s weather is predicted to be relatively mild, as has been …

Saturday Love

For always and forever, you will be my Saturday love. Ah, that’s better. Another lazy Saturday afternoon in the park with my boys, attended by George, Aaron, the Farmboyz, Little Tom, Little David, Foxy, Rod, Mike, Chris C., Dr. Jeff, DC guys Todd and Joe, several friends of friends and a trio of doggies. The park is fantastically lush already, …

Manhattan Peep Pimpin’

Father Tony took this great pic of Aaron and Jeff at Exit Art last week, perfectly capturing their opinion of performance art, or at least mine (usually). I was in hibernation for some pervy disco event and wasn’t along for the excursion, but I thought I’d post this pic anyway, for pure beefcake value. Jeff is taken, but our boy …
