Ryan Landry’s Murder on the Polar Express
Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans have announced that this year’s holiday theater spectacular will be Murder on the Polar Express.
Stealing plot lines from every Agatha Christie mystery ever written, the musical features “The World’s Foremost Drag Detective” Shirley Holmes, (played by Ryan Landry) as she boards the world’s most elegant train along with her sidekick Dr. Jody Watley and ten other unsavory characters, all en route to the North Pole for a much needed Christmas vacation! Imagine their dismay when they realize there is a psycho killer onboard.
The Gold Dust Orphan’s holiday musical always sells out quickly so I’m giving the show a plug now that tickets are available to encourage you to make plans and reserve your tickets ahead of time. Murder on the Polar Express runs from Thursday, December 1 – Wednesday, December 21.
How you feelin’ about tonight’s VP debate?
I know that you’ve likely seen this already but I still think it is funny.

The best cannolis in Boston
Boston Magazine’s 2017 Best of Boston Readers’ Poll is underway through the rest of the year and this month the magazine is asking their readers to rate the best Raw Bar and best place to get a cannoli in Boston.
With regards to raw bar I have my own personal opinion but the question about where one can get the best cannoli in town this blog answered with a resounding vote back in 2014 in my post, Mike’s Pastry vs. The Modern Pastry Shop.
The pastry shop that won the blind tasting (hands down) is shown in a recent photo I took of a visit there when I was in need of these delicious Italian pastries.

Book Review: A Very English Scandal
Gay Anglophiles may want to add this new hardcover to their reading list. I was sent a copy of A Very English Scandal by John Preston to review and while I’ve only just started I can tell you this is a page turner.
Preston’s novel is based on the true scandal that rocked all of the United Kingdom when Jeremy Thorpe a British politician who served as Member of Parliament was tried at the Old Bailey in May 1979 on charges of conspiracy and incitement to murder, based on his earlier relationship with Norman Scott, a former model. The book may be based on real life, but it reads like a thriller filled with hypocrisy, deceit and betrayal.
Published by Other Press the story unfolds in 323 pages and is available starting Monday, October 10th.

HB-2 has cost North Carolina $395million
I’ve been writing about the economic backlash that has resulted from North Carolina’s homophobic / transphobic legislation HB-2, because I want to make sure that people don’t forget that even if politicians make easy, short term gains by targeting the gay community the times have changed and hateful legislation like North Carolina’s HB-2 will come at a cost. I’m sure this comes as a surprise to rednecks like NC’s Governor Pat McCrory, but I find it long overdue and am thankful for the support from the business community.
Although it is difficult to come to an exact number to determine how much HB-2 has cost North Carolina, Unicorn Booty suggested the cost is approaching $400 million dollars. This further validates Trillium Asset Management CEO Matt Patsky who said earlier this week that North Carolina was headed for a “state-government-inflicted recession”. Go figure. Hate just doesn’t pay like it use to.
This is how UnicornBooty came to their stunning calculation.
- $176,000 in legal fees for Republican lawmakers who have been sued over the law
- $47,000 in legal fees for Governor Pat McCrory who has been sued over the law
- $500,000 diverted from the state’s disaster relief fund to help pay for HB2 litigatio
- $87,700,000 lost from businesses refusing to expand in North Carolina since HB2 became law
- $109,400,000 from canceled conferences, concerts and other events since HB2 became law
- $106,000,000 from the NBA relocating their All-Star Game
- $51,000,000 from the NCAA relocating their championship game
- $40,400,000 from the ACC relocating their championship game
And here is the worst news for Governor Pat McCrory and those who stand by HB-2, there is no reason to believe those losses will stop. The reality is the expectation is these losses will continue.
