FUZZ Boston is Friday, Nov 13
Tomorrow night get sweaty dancing to all the great music played by DJ Brent Covington and DJ Taffy at the Alley Bar in Downtown Crossing (just blocks from the Park, DTX and State Street T stations).
All the fun starts at 10PM but get there early to have a drink with friends to avoid any lines – now that it is starting to get chilly at nights.
New gay night in Boston: Backstage Thursdays
A new gay night is coming to Boston. About two weeks ago you may have heard the rumblings as they hosted their first night in the Alley off of Boylston Street in the Theater District. While I was not able to locate a Facebook Page, the website confirms tomorrow’s party is a go with doors opening at 9:30PM and no cover to anyone who shows up before 10:30PM.
Say hello to my friend DJ Jim Clerkin who will be spinning all the music, the fabulous Mizery and the hard working bartenders, Tommy, Devon and Mike. American Vaudeville Nightclub a.k.a. “Backstage” is located at 19 Boylston Place, Boston, MA 02116. You can check out their website here
Boston’s Latino night returns Wed. Nov. 11th
Latino Wednesday is back for one night only to bring the 1st Arena Pre-Party to Boston. Alex Remann of ARENA FESTIVAL is producing the event and bringing DJ Fabio Luigi from London.

Doors open at 10PM at Venu Boston located at 100 Warrenton Street in Boston’s Theater District. Find out more by visiting their Facebook page, here.
Boy Culture blog celebrates 10 years
One of my favorite blogs, boy culture, celebrated its 10-year anniversary this past Friday. My blog isn’t quite as large or prolific, but after writing for eight years, I can appreciate the commitment and wanted to extend my congratulations to Matt.
Blogging is an outlet that has provided me much satisfaction through the years and a lot of that comes from getting to meet and know bloggers locally and elsewhere. Bravo Matt – congratulations on this milestone anniversary for you and your blog.
Watts Safeword: PrEP Myths
One of my favorite blogs, Accidental Bear, has a blog post that I wanted to share. The links below the video are courtesy of that blog which you can check out in my blogroll.
The term “safe sex” is sometimes relative, especially considering the many options the LGBTQ community has today. One such relatively new option is PrEP, the HIV prevention pill, but a lot of misconceptions about the drug remain. Do yourself a favor and talk to your doctor to determine if PrEP is right for you.
Check out Amp and Bolt from Watts the Safeword on YouTube video about PrEP. Last week they sat down to briefly explain how it works and why it may be right for you.

OutRyders opening party at Club Cafe this week
OutRyders is a 250+ member gay ski and snowboard club here in New England. I included a link to their website in my September blog post, Making friends in Boston through local sports teams and clubs, but I wanted to give them another shout out because later this week on Thursday, November 12th they will be hosting their annual Opening Party at Club Cafe, starting at 7:30.
The purpose of the party is to provide a chance to socialize (off the slopes) where members from last year and people who may not be familiar with the organization can share cocktails, chat and learn more about the coming ski / snowboard season. This year the OutRyders will have day trips to ski resorts through out New England as well as a few longer get aways including a trip to Sugarloaf over the holidays (12/27-30), and a trip out West to Telluride (2/21-28/2016).
For more information visit their website at www.outryders.org.
Weird Things Gay Couples Do via Buzzfeed
Once upon a time I visited Buzzfeed daily but those days are long gone and posts that starts with 10 Pictures of… is more likely to make me roll my eyes rather than read it. However, Sergio shared this video of Weird Things Gay Couples Do from Buzzfeed and it made me laugh so I thought I would share it. I can certainly relate to a few of these situations.
Gay video streaming service, dekkoo.com, offers 30-day free trial
Gaius Media which owns LGBT distributor, TLA Entertainment, is launching a new premium streaming subscription service that caters to the LGBT community called, Dekk0. Launched earlier this week, Dekko is offering a 30-day free trial of their premium streaming service.
I know that streaming services are very popular so I thought I’d give Dekko.com a shout out. Dekko’s press release says they have, “an extensive movie library and original productions” that provide plenty of gay themed films and television programming. If you decide to give it a try, let me know if you like it.

(HO)MOvember
Australian Olympian Simon Dunn models his ‘stache for (HO)MOvember
You may start to notice more men with some upper lip hair over the course of the next few weeks as Movember kicks off for its 9th year here in the US. Australian Olympic bobsledder, Simon Dunn, put a twist on this annual month-long fundraiser that is used to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues, with his (HO)MOvember video which you can watch here.
Through a cruel twist of fate, I have no ability to grow more than a few wisps of facial hair so I thought the way I would participate this year was by helping to remind everyone about the event and if you live in Boston to encourage you to join the Movember Team Boston.
Scruffy Sunday
I wish I looked this good in my Calvins.
