Why is Dan Akyroyd at Machine tonight?
Dan Aykroyd is appearing at Boston’s gay bar, Machine, for their drag show tonight. I’m trying to be polite and refrain from making any sarcastic comments so I’ll just say, if you’d like to see Mr. Aykroyd or maybe you want to witness this sh*t show, head over to Machine tonight.
Tickets are approximately $20 with service fees. You may buy them here.
Doors open at 9pm. The drag show starts at 10:30.
Restaurant review: Ginger Exchange
Ginger Exchange opened their second location by Symphony Hall at 250 Huntington Ave earlier this past summer. Self-described as a “fresh Asian kitchen”, I thought it was a comfortable and affordable option for dinner. As with so many Asian menu’s it goes on forever so in lieu of my usual description, visit their website for details, gingerexchange.com.
We started with the Crab Rangoon ($5.95) followed by the Original Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp ($10.95). I was sharing dinner with Sergio so I refrained from ordering any of the chef’s specialty rolls, but there were many sushi options on the menu that caught my eye – perhaps next time.
The Crab Rangoon come six to an order and were served warm. The crispy wonton and cream cheese were slightly addicting and a good start to our dinner. The Pad Thai that followed also proved to be very satisfying. If I wasn’t sharing this plate I would have preferred some hot sauce / oil to bring more zip to the plate, but otherwise I thought it was very tasty.
Ginger Exchange has a full bar. They are located across the street from Symphony Hall and just a few doors down from the Huntington Theater Company and NEC’s Jordan Hall, making it a good option either before or after catching a show / performance.

Roche Bros coming to Downtown Crossing
Perhaps the greatest blight in downtown Boston in recent years has been the stalled Millennium Tower project, but that changed last week when Roche Bros announced they’d open their first ‘new urban’ store here.
The 30,000 square feet store will be smaller than the new Whole Foods that will be opening about a mile away in the South End, but this is good news for the neighborhood, and you better believe, nosey BosGuy will be making a stop there when they open in mid 2015.
Summer is ovah
Sad but true, summer is now officially over, although for most of us the summer season ended with Labor Day Weekend. Even still it is always sad to say good bye to summer.
Scruffy Sunday
Peek-a-Boo
Boston Ballet Night of Stars on Boston Common tonight
I would like to encourage you to come down to the Boston Common tonight to show your support for the Boston Ballet and to enjoy their free performance starting at 7:00 pm.
Perhaps you’ve never been to the ballet or maybe you haven’t been in years. Challenge your notions of what the ballet is all about and bring a friend. Better yet, bring that friend who is always complaining that they want to “do something different”.
Saturday footsie
Have a good morning guys and thanks for stopping by.

This is what I imagine happens when the boy next door grows up and finds a gym. I think this guy is incredibly sexy. What do you think?
