You gotta hand it to the Red Sox fans for their evil taunting of Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, who made the tabloids over the weekend after being photographed cavorting with a chestally-enhanced blonde stripper who was Not His Wife. Hundreds of fans at Boston’s Fenway Park showed up with these masks during this weekend’s game in a promotion run by …

The height limit for the Lincoln Tunnel is exactly 13 feet. Not 13 feet, six inches. Now you know. And so does a certain Texan plumbing supplies deliverman.

Last night Little David and I attended a preview of Xanadu, joining an audience that seemed to be 50% gay men. When the house lights went down, a roar of anticipation went up. David said, “Rowdy crowd!” And they were not disappointed. Thanks to brilliant book by Douglas Carter Beane (The Little Dog Laughed), a show that could have been …

Tonight I am going to a place where nobody dared to go.

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. …

Mr. Fleet Week is climaxing. Waist-deep in the Hudson River he stands, back arched, toes curling, straining…UGH…to blow his patriotic load of bipedal cannon fodder one last time over America’s well-fingered g-spot, Midtown Manhattan. The spot, after six nights of polite (compared to the locals) but woefully unskilled (ditto) attention, is currently wavering perilously between grateful, exhausted satiety and “not …

Father Tony took this shot at yesterday’s picnic on Bear Hill in Central Park. I’ll post some pics of my own after the weekend is over. In the meantime, Father Tony has lots more over at his place. This photo is now embiggen-friendly.

You gotta love the copywriter that came up with this Virgin Mobile ad that Superdaddy and I found on a phone booth on 8th Avenue, which playfully compares sexual versatility to Virgin’s phone plan. Super and I walked all the way from the West Village to the GB:NYC4 drink-up at Therapy, where a massive crowd of sodden bloggers awaited. Along …

I’m a couple days behind on this, but AIDS Walk New York raised a record $6.8 million on Sunday, with the proceeds headed for GMHC and over 50 other HIV/AIDS organizations. Celebrities taking part included Cyndi Lauper, Whoopi Goldberg, Alan Cumming, T.R. Knight, and Lance Bass. A massive crowd of 45,000 walked this year, also a new record.

Fleet Week 2007 begins today and the ships are beginning to pull in at Pier 90. Insert your tired “seaman” jokes below.

The fourth annual gay bloggers meet-up takes place in NYC this weekend. Largely organized by Dallas-based bon vivant Zeitzeuge Mark, this year’s drunkathon stretches over the holiday weekend. Friday 9PM: Cocktails at Therapy in Hell’s Kitchen, 348 W.52nd Street. Saturday 2PM-6PM: Central Park picnic on Bear Hill above the roller-disco near the flagpole. Live DJs, wacky NYC characters, no alcohol …

NYC Mayor Bloomberg will announce today that all city taxis must be converted to gas/electric hybrids by 2012. Approximately 20% of the fleet will be converted every year until the target date. While I’m certain that taxi owners will transfer the cost of this conversion to city riders, with the exception of a couple of major missteps, Bloomberg continues to …

FexEx/Kinko’s, Vanderbilt Street, 8:30amMale Hipster: I still can’t believe you slept with him. I mean, he’s cool and all, but… Female Hipster: Well, clearly he’s not completely gay. MH: Nuh-uh. Once you’ve done it, you are all the way gay. FH: Well, I guess that makes me a lesbian. MH: That’s HOT. FH: Whatever, dude..

Saturday night I found myself chatting with a guy from Nottingham and a guy from Sydney, when naturally the conversation turned to American imperialism. I jokingly asked a friend nearby, “Quick, name five famous Australians.” He hesitated and I added, “Besides Kylie.” He said, “Oh, shoot. Um…there’s her sister, Danni. Oh, and Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe.” I said, “Don’t …

The Farmboyz and I spent the day down in Soho and the Village, where we scoped out rents, bakeries, and men, in that order. Shifting priorities, eh?

“Do we crucify people because they’re a nuisance? Do we go up to them and say, ‘You don’t belong here for being young and loud, and being people of color? It’s life. It changes, and we have to change with it.” – Bob Kohler, 80, a 30-year resident of the West Village, in today’s LA Times article about the continuing …

Embiggen for maximum gayocity.

Lenny’s Deli, 1st Avenue, 12:30pmGirl 1: OMG! That chowder smells so good! Girl 2: It totally does, but I’m not getting cream soup so close to summer. Girl 1: You can always get rid of it at the office if you need to. Girl 2: Oh, I never purge at work. People can hear you. (Both laugh.) Girl 1: Yeah, …
