Pam Ann Around the world tour

Pam Ann BostonPam Ann flew into Boston for one show on the Thursday of Pride week in Boston. Her current tour, Around the world, is a raunchy, hilarious two hour escapade.  Caroline Reid (a.k.a. Pam Ann) had the Boston audience eating out of her hand and cheering for her throughout the two hour show, which ridiculed the airline industry and pandered unabashedly to her adoring (and overwhelmingly) gay audience.

Check out her facebook page here.

I wish I was the kind of guy who could recall funny lines because this show is full of them, but since I can’t regale you I’d highly recommend checking out the show.  If Pam Ann’s show is flying into your town check and see if tickets remain – you won’t be disappointed.

Boston block party tomorrow 1:30 – 7:00pm

Boston Gay PrideEach year, following Boston’s Pride Parade, which can only be described as “boring”, the unofficial block party on Chandler Street starts.  One might assume the reason this block party is so awesome has everything to do with the fact that the Boston Pride Committee has nothing to do with it, but whatever the reason if you are in Boston for Pride Weekend check out this party.  This is the best part of Pride week in Boston.

A $15 donation is requested with all proceeds going to The AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts. The fun starts at 1:30 and concludes at 7:00pm, providing sufficient time for all to go home, sober up and take a quick disco nap.

Furry Friday

Long time readers of this blog know that I’m a tennis enthusiast and with the 2012 French Open championship games later this weekend, I thought it fitting to have a tennis themed Furry Friday post.

The photos above are of American tennis player, Robby Ginepri. He has not been a top ranked tennis player for several years, but I still like this handsome American.

BosGuy brain teaser

Each Friday I pose a riddle or what I like to think of as a “brain teaser” for those who like that sort of thing. I freely admit that many of these stump me, but perhaps you’ll be able figure out this week’s riddle.

This Weeks Riddle:Brain TeaserIn which direction is the bus depicted above traveling? The only possible answer is left or right so be sure to explain your answer. I’ll verify your guess or post the answer in the comments section in the afternoon.

An interesting side note to this week’s riddle:  This was shared with young children and they all came up with the same answer; citing the same reason.  If you look closely at the picture you’ll figure this out.

 

Chris Tobie’s: Posh Pride Patio Party

Hey Mitt, its not what you say, its what you do that counts

It is hard to imagine Mitt Romney today wishing his fellow Bostonians a “Great Pride Weekend” like he did back when he was Governor.  It is even harder to imagine Romney making the bolder statements he shared in an interview with Bay Windows back in the 1990s when he ran an unsuccessful campaign against Senator Ted Kennedy.

However, Mitt Romney, the man who claims he’s not a politician despite having campaigned for nearly two decades has an interesting track record of saying what he needs to get elected; in truth this is not limited to just Mitt but for someone adamant that he’s not a “career politician” he seems quite adroit at this.  As you celebrate Pride, listen to what politicians say but hold them accountable for what they’ve done.

The difference between 29 and 31

This video is most definitely not safe for work (NSFW), but it is incredibly funny.  For year’s I’ve always said it never ceases to amaze me how many self confident, attractive women seem to snap after they turn 30.  This video seems to perfectly illustrate the point. Thanks for sharing little brother.

Suddenly it makes sense

handsome tennis playerThe 2012 French Open concludes this weekend so I thought I’d share a photo of Juan Monaco, a handsome Argentine tennis player who lost earlier this week to Rafa Nadal.

Perhaps this image of Juan Monaco will help you suddenly develop an appreciation for the sport of tennis.

Fitness tips from Kris Kranzky

The month of June is synonymous with summer in my mind.  The spring was more hectic than I would’ve liked and my time at the gym was impacted so I thought I’d start these weekly posts to keep me (and maybe you too) focused on personal fitness. These tips are from my trainer Kris Kranzky from the Boston Sports Club in the South End.

Mix up your work out regimen: Your body is like a machine and continues to improve based on the demands that you apply. If you continue to do the same exercise over and over, then your body will become more efficient at performing those types of workouts so it is important to continue to switch up your work out regimen every 6 week weeks.

Last week’s tip.

Boston needs to increase the number of liquor licenses

Photo by Ringo H.W. Chiu / For The Times

Later today, Boston’s City Council will consider a request from Councilor Pressley to host a hearing on ways to convince the Massachusetts State Legislature to increase the number of Boston liquor licenses.

Pressley (and I too) believe Boston’s antiquated approach to doling out liquor licenses needs to stop.  The system has put a strangle hold on new businesses wanting to open.  Recently I wrote about how restaurant owner, Brian Piccini proposed buying Columbus Cafe’s liquor license for nearly $300k so he could open his new South End steak house, Boston Chops.   Is it any wonder Boston lacks affordable dining options?

Do you agree? Contact your Representative in the MA State Legislature.

Provincetown: Velvet lounge

Velvet ProvincetownEvery year there are a few changes in Provincetown. While the locals (and those who consider themselves locals but really live in Boston) are blabbering about Enzo’s expanded deck, a new club called Velvet Lounge which opened on May 21st caught my attention.

The tiny subterranean lounge where red is the color of choice oozes cool. Starting tomorrow, June 7th, every Thursday thru Sunday, Velvet will host Abracadabra, which is described as a “haunted cabaret”.  The show will start promptly at 10:30 and tickets cost $29.  I hope that the cabaret show is great and this new lounge is successful. If you go, let me know what you think.

Note: Velvet is a cash only bar (at least it was on my visit) located at 258 Commercial Street below Saki.  Try the house drink Spring Fling and tell Chase their friendly bartender that BosGuy says “Hello”.
