Brokelahomo! returns to Boston for two shows
Brokelahomo plays two shows in Boston before heading to New York City
Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans return to Boston this weekend for two shows of their musical, Brokelahomo. Following the shows, Ryan and his cast will pack up and head to Theatre 80 St. Marks for four shows in New York City.
THE STORY: Brokelahomo is a town in trouble. Overrun by dirty, outlaw gays, the few law abiding citizens left must spend their days dodging bullets, putting out church fires and fearing for their pets lives. That is until a heterosexual is sent for. Enter Dusty Rhodes, the unlikely hero of this far out fable set in the groovy 1880s! Will Dusty clean up the town? Or will the gay cattle rustlers and homo hoodlums head him off at the pass?
BOSTON SHOWS: Saturday, October 13th at 7:30PM and Sunday, October 14th at 5:00PM at the Ramrod Performing Arts Centre. Buy Your Tickets Here.
NYC SHOWS: The Gold Dust Orphans are set to present four shows of their summer hit, BROKELAHOMO! at Theatre 80 St. Marks (80 St. Marks Place in the East Village of NYC), opening October 19th! Buy Your Tickets Here.

I encourage everyone to check out this year’s HUB Week is at Government Center from the 8th – 14th; an amazing series of events and programs that run all week. Another festival worthy of a shout out takes place this weekend on Saturday in Copley Square – Boston’s 8th Annual Book Festival which runs all day and is also open and free to the public.
If you’re looking for some more cultcha and happen to have Columbus Day off, head over to the free Fall Open House at the MFA and or to the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston – both museums are open Monday, Oct 8th from 10AM – 5PM and free to the public all day.
For those of you who like to scare yourselves, be sure to check out Halloween, which will show at the Kendall on Wednesday evening or head over to the Coolidge to enjoy their After Midnite series, which takes place on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 11:59PM with The Exorcist (Director’s Cut) and SCREAM showing respectively.

ICA and MFA are open and free to the public on Columbus Day
Do you happen to have Columbus Day (Monday, October 8th) off? Many in Boston do but unfortunately, that is not the case for me. However, if I did have the day off, I’d be tempted to visit the Fall Open House at the MFA or head over to the Seaport and check out the Institute of Contemporary Art and their new annex “The Watershed” across the harbor.
Both museums will be open on Columbus Day and are offering free admission all day. Hours of operation on Monday for both museums are 10AM – 5PM. Get out and soak up some cultcha at these local museums and bring your friends along.

Vintage gay
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Seinfeld can still make me laugh
“…He likes his team. He’s set with that team…“
This weekend I was at home on my couch channel surfing until I stumbled upon this episode from Seinfeld, entitled The Beard, which first aired in February 1995 (I checked). This show still can make me laugh out loud. I realize that this TV show wasn’t everyone’s favorite and you can tell how outdated it is – just take a peek at Jerry’s ancient Mac on his desk or their phones, but I still enjoy watching it. What TV shows from your childhood do you still love to watch?
