Say hello to my friend Joe Andrews. Joe grew up in a small town near where I lived and we met many years ago in Boston. He now calls Oakland, CA home and is pretty active on Instagram. You can check him out here.

I love this photograph which suggests it dates back to the late 19th / early 20th century. Their synchonized pose with left legs crossed, hands in each others and pipes, cigarettes (or whatever that is) justting off to their left is picture perfect.
LGBTQ Nightlife Events is a Boston-based organization hosts monthly and bi-monthly LGBTQ events including, Issa Vibe: QTBIPOC Mixers, O Baile Funk LGBTQ, Queer EMO Night Pity Party, and Sapphic Nights.
Earlier this month, the organizations shared that they had secured a dedicated space to host their parties and will be announcing more details about the new LGBTQ+ bar at their Sapphic Nights party on Saturday, January 28th at The House of Blues.
The space, Dani’s Queer Bar, will be open to all but dedicated to and for Boston’s queer women and non-binary LGBTQ+ community. For more information about this new queer venue you can attend their next party later this month and / or you can follow the Instagram account, Dani’s Queer Bar 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️.

About Sapphic Nights
Sapphic Nights is a bimonthly dance party that has been hosted at The Good Life, since at least the fall of 2021 when I first learned about it. The announcement of a new, dedicated space for LGBTQ Nightlife Events and their Saphhic Nights parties couldn’t be better timed since the host space for these parties, The Good Life, closed its doors in December 2022.
I’m sure nobody will be surprised to learn this kilt was designed by Rufskin, a lifestyle brand designed for and marketed to the gay community.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out this calorie free mancandy.
ManRay, was a fun, popular bar in Central Square that opened in 1983 and closed in 2005 to make space for a new condominium development. Each Thursday ManRay became “Campus” and catered to the LGBTQ+ community. It was on a Thursday night in January 1999 that I met my partner at Campus.
I was sad to see this bar close and in the years that followed I repeatedly (hopefully) wrote about rumors that it would reopen. I first wrote about it in 2013 and again last summer. Each time the rumors while credible resulted in nothing but resounding silence as the rumored date of opening would come and go. Imagine my surprise when last night, seemingly out of the blue, The Boston Globe publishes, ManRay, legendary Cambridge nightclub that closed in 2005 will reopen Saturday.
According to Vanyaland, which initially broke the story about ManRay’s reopening, the venue will follow a similar weekly schedule that the original nightclub hosted from Wednesday to Saturday, with a nightly curfew of 2 a.m. and an age entry policy of 19+ at the door. Wednesday will resurrect the goth party Crypt; Thursday revisits the Campus gay night; Friday returns its fetish-themed industrial night; and Saturday celebrates Heroes, DJ Chris Ewen’s new wave and electro party that was previously held at nearby Sonia.
The new space will also have a stage to accommodate bands and artists (perhaps a new drag show or two could be in its future or a new home for Ryan Landry and his misfit performers – who can say), but Ewen said in Vanyaland that ManRay’s main purpose will be to provide people with a nightclub they can come to and enjoy.

I haven’t a clue when these two guys may have cuddled up next to each other to pose for this photograph. I’m wondering if anyone can date this based on their attire?
