The End Of Wizzy

Last night’s WYSIWYG Gays Gone Wild show was a blast. All the performers were hilarious, with Leigh Thompson’s question and answer routine about his life as a transman being the highlight of the evening. Rod Townsend sang a song about gonorrhea (to the tune of ABBA’s Mamma Mia) and Amnesia Sparkles did a bit about being Satan’s receptionist. Joel Derfner …

Gays Gone Wild!

Two weeks from today I’ll be performing at Gays Gone Wild, the annual gay pride edition of WYSIWYG, alongside JMG blogroll pals Joel Derfner and Rod Townsend . This will be the final Wizzy, after four years the promoters are burned out and decided to pull the plug on a high note, as the pride show is always a smash. …

They Want You As A New Recruit

This being Fleet Week in NYC, I’m reminded of a story from when I lived in Orlando, back when the Naval Training Center was open, circa 1982. Phone rings……Joe: Hello? Woman: Is this Joe? Joe: Yes, it is. Woman: Joe, you don’t know me, but I’m David’s mother. He’s sitting right here with me and he doesn’t want to talk …

JMG: Year Four Begins

Today is JMG’s 3rd blogiversary. My first post: I was born and raised in rural North Carolina. My fondest childhood memory is of playing in the dense, acrid, poison fog that was belched out by the county mosquito control truck, during it’s daily dusk-time trip down our dirt road. The cry of ‘Smokey! Smokey!’ would fly up and down Nine …

Kitty: Day Two

I swear that JMG is not going become a cat blog (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but since there was such an interest in yesterday’s post, I thought I’d give y’all an update. Last night Shelter Kitty slept on the sofa instead of under the bed, which is pleasingly rapid progress, yes? She’s still very quiet, I haven’t …

I Exist, And….

And now for the most cliched blogpost: I exist, and I have a cat. After my Tuesday bike ride past the window of the ASPCA, I came home and went to bed, where I dreamt about the sad kitty I’d seen in the window. Taking that as a sign, last night I returned. Window Kitty was on “behavioral hold”, unavailable …

Reminder: Porno Bingo Tonight

Tonight I’ll be calling numbers at Will Clark’s Porno Bingo, which will benefit NYC’s Gotham Knights gay rugby club. The event begins at 9PM in Hell’s Kitchen at the Ninth Avenue Bistro. What does one wear to porno bingo? I have a feeling that by the end of the night, I’ll be a little tipsy. “Beeee-ssssheven!”

Please visit the ACLU …
