Armistead Maupin will be returning to Provincetown during Bear Week this year. He’ll be reading from his latest work and sharing anecdotes and insights at The Crown & Anchor Sunday, July 13th.
I love this photo of Sergio hanging with Armistead at the Crown & Anchor back in 2012. He is a very friendly and approachable guy.

Provincetown is about to get real crowded as tens of thousands of men visit for the Independence Week parties starting on Saturday, June 28th. The entire town will be filled to capacity but don’t be deterred. Be sure to check out the Boatslip’s massive tea dance each day, visit some of the clubs like the Atlantic House (A-House) and certainly catch a show while you visit.
Also be sure to visit The Crown & Anchor which will host to some great parties and consider getting tickets party promoter Chris Harris’ events. For details about the parties at The Crown & Anchor or to purchase their party passes visit their website, onlyatthecrown.com/independence.
Here are photos I snapped from July 4th week in 2013 in Ptown.
The ever so dreamy PA State Representative, Brian Sims, who I first wrote about back in 2012 (as one of my Men of Twittah) and more recently wrote about in my post, Lusting After Brian Sims, will be in Provincetown during Bear Week hosting a fundraiser for his campaign.
Lord knows I’ve spent a significant amount of time scouring the internet for a shirtless photograph of this handsome, progressive, gay state representative. Since I won’t be in Ptown during bear week, I’m encouraging anyone who might be there to be on the look out for this handsome Pennsylvanian sunning himself.

Varla Jean Merman and Ryan Landry are teaming up again this summer in Provincetown in a new show at The Art House called The Golden Gals.
The show will play Thursday thru Saturday at 7:30PM, from June 5th thru August 30th.
Sign me up. I’m there and if you are visiting Provincetown you’d be a fool to miss this. Dorothy is played by Ryan Landry, her mother Sophia is played by Connie Tavanis, Blanche the oversexed southern belle is played by (who else?) Varla Jean Merman, and their clueless cohabitant Rose is played by Brooklyn Shaffer. I can hardly wait to see this show.

Spring came to New England late this year and will be over in just a couple of weeks when we celebrate Memorial Day Weekend. In the span of the next two weeks nearly every commencement ceremony in Boston will have taken place; Harvard isn’t til May 29.
Aside from the college students skipping town, Bostonians will head for the coast each weekend. While guys go everywhere, most of the LGBT community looks to Provincetown, MA and or Ogunquit, ME.
Sergio and I have plans to visit both this summer and I’m looking forward to what other spur of the moment trips to the coast manifest.

Planning a trip to Provincetown this summer, or perhaps you live in Boston and know you will be making multiple trips to Ptown? Regardless, The Boston Harbor Cruise Co. (one of the two high speed ferry companies here in Boston) has their annual GroupOn running at the moment. Grab them while they last – this deal sells out every year.
Are you planning to head down to Provincetown for the Independence Week parties? For those of you not familiar with Ptown or if you’ve never been during the week of the 4th of July check out this teaser from the Crown & Anchor.
Late last week I mentioned that Liza Minnelli and Alan Cumming will perform a show at The Crown and Anchor on Monday, August 4th. Over the weekend the show sold out and a second performance (same night) at 9:30 p.m. has been added. Tickets may be purchased here, www.onlyatthecrown.com.
UPDATE: I’ve been told this show has now sold out as well. You can’t say that I didn’t give you a heads up.
While summer may still seem a long way off, The Crown & Anchor has been busy booking shows for the 2014 season in Provincetown. And this summer, Liza Minnelli and Alan Cumming will perform live at the Crown & Anchor for one show only on Monday, August 4th.
Don’t be fooled by the steep ticket prices. This intimate gathering ensures this will sell out well in advance. Tickets are $185 – $350 and go on sale in March. To buy tickets, visit www.onlyatthecrown.com.
Still trying to figure out what you want to dress up as for Halloween? Ptown’s Spooky Bear Weekend has chosen a fun theme for their party at The Crown & Anchor. This looks like it would be hilarious and I’m sorry I won’t be there to see all these guys in their costumes.

Will you be heading to Ptown for one of the many Halloween parties? Do tell.
Sergio and I will likely continue to visit Provincetown off-season, but it is always sad to say good-bye to summer. Make your plans for 2014 early, Provincetown will book up quickly.
One week ago today Provincetown’s main drag, Commercial Street, was already crowded with people dressed in Las Vegas inspired, theme costumes even though the parade wouldn’t even make it to where I was in the West End for another three hours.
For those who attended, I hope this video offers some happy memories, but for the majority of you who were not there, enjoy this quick recap of all the fun that was taking place just one week ago in Ptown.
