I’m finding it hard to concentrate on the coffee and wishing I knew what the rest of his chest looked like. It looks to me like he could potentially be a great furry Friday.

I’m still traveling and on the road so I didn’t have time to update my blog and am assuming nobody will mind this “fluff” post that I fondly refer to as mancandy. The good news about these posts are that they have zero calories and are likely to make you smile no matter what kind of day you’ve had.
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.
This post is for all you culture-vultures looking for something new and different to take in and check out. The newly expanded ICA Watershed, which opened over the July 4th holiday in East Boston, is displaying two work by San Francisco artist, Diana Thater that use light and moving image projections.
Admission is free and the installation will be available for viewing through October 8th. For more information visit, the ICA website.

His photographs are regularly featured by The Boston Globe and others because of his beautiful eye and gorgeous photos.

Earlier this summer I wrote a post about HUBweek, which will take place this year from October 8-14. The annual fall festival celebrates innovation in art, science and technology when it takes over Boston’s City Hall Plaza later this year. Michael Bloomberg, Malcolm Gladwell, Deepak Chopra and Atul Gawande were previously announced as speakers at this year’s event. Earlier this week HUBweek organizers said NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd and Parkland shooting survivor, David Hogg will also be coming to speak at the festival.
Dowd will take part in HUBweek Forums, discussing how the future will look in terms of everything from cities to health and medicine and Hogg, a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and a co-founder of March for Our Lives, will be part of a HUBweek forum in Faneuil Hall on “the successes and challenges of the nationwide student-led movement to end gun violence”.
Many pf the events during HUBweek are free but they do fill up. Learn more here: hubweek.org
