Boston’s South End by Russ Lopez
My friend and neighbor, Russ Lopez has a new book some of you may be interested in reading, Boston’s South End: The Clash of Ideas in a Historic Neighborhood.
This is the first book written about the history of the South End in more than 100 years and it covers the neighborhood from the time of the retreat of the glaciers and the coming of the first people to the region to the explosion of development since 2000.
To celebrate, he is hosting a party on Monday, November 9th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Cathedral Station. There will be a reading, light refreshments, and the book will be available for purchase.

How to avoid the winter blues: Vacation
Grand Cayman – February 2014
Every year around this time I write a series on how to fend off the winter blues; no small feat if you contemplate how severe our previous two winters have been. This year, I’m only going to post this one tip and will save the other suggestions for when winter finally arrives.
Avoiding the winter blues: Book a vacation now: Think of it as therapy, or for your mental health. The anticipation of the trip and the memories in the days that follow your return will help immensely. I recommend taking a long weekend if more time away isn’t feasible and look to book a trip in late January or anytime in February. This is when winter is at its worst here and a great time to get away.
Travel tips: Book now. Airfares will significantly increase in the coming weeks. Plan your departures / arrivals during the middle of the week; flights are often more affordable and if you go away for a week it gives you a short work week before leaving and after returning.
What to do this week: October 19-25

Gay quiz with LGBT ally Chris Thompson and his Dad
The distractingly handsome and heterosexual vlogger, Chris Thompson – also known as SupDaily06, posted a new YouTube video this week where he quizzes his Dad on gay lingo. The video is both funny and endearing. Take a watch and see how well his Dad does guessing the meaning of terms like: Otters, Throwing Shade and Basket Shopping.

New England native and pop star, JoJo, is back and she’s smoking hot in her new music video. Are you hearing this out at the clubs? It’s practically begging for a remix. Who will be the first to do this for me?
How big is your pie?
BosGuy readers visiting Miami sent me a blurry photograph of their pizza box which I was going to use until I googled Mega Pizza and saw this much clearer photograph of the Pizzeria’s pizza box. Sounds like Mega Pizza might be trying to overcompensate for something.

We all know how lucky we are to live in the US. Being gay is the equivalent to a death sentence in many nations throughout the world, but especially in Africa and the Middle East.

If you would like to get involved come to Club Cafe tonight from 6-9 for their 5th annual drag gospel fest and to learn more visit: lgbtasylum.org.
