Karmin to headline Boston Pride

Boston PrideBoston Pride announced the pop duo Karmin will be headlining the Boston Pride Festival being held on Saturday, June 8th from noon to 6pm at Boston’s City Hall Plaza.  Karmin actually formed here in Boston back in 2010 when the Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan met at Berklee College of Music.

Out of curiosity if you are going to attend Boston’s Pride Festival, will you attend the party at Government Center? I’ve never attended, preferring the “unofficial” block party in the South End at Fritz. Although after last year’s fiasco with the drink tickets at the South End Block Party my love for that party has been somewhat tainted, hopefully they can fix that this year.

Will you go to see Karmin or attend the unofficial S.E. Block Party?

Australian Gay Rights Tribute

A touching video tribute to Australia’s fight for LGBT equality was shared this morning on Towleroad, and I wanted to pick up and pass this along.

Abba-licious

The Welcoming CommitteeApril 14th, 8pm at The Wilbur Theater in Boston

Hey Dancing Queen – yeah you… An ABBA Tribute show is coming to Boston on Sunday, April 14th. I know you’ll say Mama Mia and send out an S.O.S. if you miss them singing hits like Take A Chance On Me (okay I’ll stop, I’m aware of how annoying this is becoming).

My good buddies over at The Welcoming Committee have worked there magic and have been given an entire section of the Wilbur Theater.  So break out your head bands, feather your hair back and roller skate your ass over to the Wilbur on April 14th, but first get your tickets because they absolutely will not last.
1. Go to this website -> here
2. Enter code “TAKEOVER”
3. Select seats in the “Balcony Right.” 

NOTE: Tickets sales cut off Sunday, April 7th or when they sell out.

Pulp Fiction with a Kerry accent

Pulp Fiction with a Kerry AccentNot sure if you’ve seen this video clip, but apparently students in Tralee, Ireland have dubbed scenes from Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction in a Kerry accent.  I love it when Vince (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) say “royale with cheese” in the Kerry accent, it is absolutely hilarious.

San Francisco Transbay transit station

San Francisco TransbayFast Company has a cool article any architecture enthusiast will love.  The city has shared renderings for new The Transbay, a multi-modal transit hub in the heart of San Francisco, which includes a 5.4 acre rooftop park.  The three city block building will include a bus depot, train tracks and other transit infrastructure below a massive 1,000-foot office tower.

The city is targeting a 2017 opening for the Transbay.  If you’d like to read more, check out the full article, here.

First honest cable advertisement

Cable AdvertCheck out this hilarious parody of your local cable provider.  Note that there is some profane language involved, but I think you will agree it is spot on. My favorite line is “Your local high speed internet and cable provider. You won’t like it and there’s no other option.”

Rainbow over Boston

Boston Rainbow taken by Jennifer WalshAround this time yesterday a large, vibrant rainbow could be seen spanning much of downtown Boston.  Coincidence this occurred as the Boston Red Sox were spanking the New York Yankees in their first game of the 2013 MLB season?  I think not.

Thanks to Jennifer Walsh who took the photo and Universal Hub for sharing it

Single for a bit

Cheers SergioSergio has dashed off to Brazil to be with his family for the next two weeks.  When we first met, Sergio was a flight attendant for United Airlines so I was accustomed to his coming and going but that stopped years ago.  Now that he has his own lighting design business, Mazon Lighting Design, the only travel he does involves driving to client sites so the apartment seems strangely serene quiet.

Truth be told, I enjoy my quiet time and I’ll fall into a routine quickly enough, but today I do miss him – it is the saying good bye and the initial surprise of a home that’s gone suddenly still that takes some getting use to.  I have grand plans to tidy up the apartment, organize every shelf and drawer, get to the gym each day and read a stack of books – but we’ll see how that goes.  I’m great at making plans but sometimes the follow through leaves a bit to be desired.

Temptation Tuesday

Handsome guyDo you like short shorts? I do when the person has a killer body like this guy.  I couldn’t rock this look, but I’d be distracted to no end if he walked into my gym. Thanks to Seduced by the New blog for bringing this guy to my attention.

Girl Scout cookies

Girl Scout Cookies FailI’m not sure how I missed this gem of a video and perhaps you’re one of the more than a million viewers who have either seen this or one of the many other versions of this same video on YouTube.

However, when my friend Michael shared this clip while I was up in Vermont earlier this week, I knew I was going to post it on my blog.  I hope it gives you a chuckle.
