It Can’t Be August Yet by Matt Albiani
When I was growing up I spent a lot of time with my cousins but as we’ve grown older we’ve gone our separate ways and rarely see each other. However, I still love and care about my family, so I was impressed when his boyfriend posted this brief video that my cousin, Matt Albiani, created. It appears to be based off of a poem he wrote back in 1996.
Check out the video above then leave a comment and like it. 🙂
IT CAN’T BE AUGUST YET, CAN IT?
I DON’T KNOW – I JUST WOKE UP AND LOST TRACK OF TIME.
BUT THE DOOR IS OPEN. AND SO IS THE WINDOW
WHERE I STAND, LEAN OUT
AND LET THE SUN ON MY SHOULDERS
NOW BROWN AND FRECKLED.
FROM HERE.
I CAN SEE BLUE WATER THROUGH THE TREES
AND WHITE CANVAS SAILS THAT TAKE ME AWAY
TO THE ISLAND ON THE LAKE
WHERE THE SKY IS ALWAYS CLEAR
AND SEPTEMBER NEVER COMES
-matt albiani
Men in kilts
Although he doesn’t know it, I think of this guy as a future ex-boyfriend of mine.
What to do this week: August 27 – Sept 2
Despite the warm weather in Boston, Labor Day Weekend is typically the end of summer here in New England. As we head into this weekend beware of the dubious Boston “holiday” referred to as Allston Christmas, as tens of thousands of people move out of apartments and make ready to move into new apartments with a September 1 lease.

The Revolution is the South End’s next boutique hotel
Courtesy of MOUNT VERNON CO.
A new boutique hotel called The Revolution will be opening just a block away from The Alise Boston (formerly The Chandler Inn) on Berkeley Street in the South End. The local property company, Mount Vernon Company, announced they will turn the home of the former YWCA property at 40 Berkeley Street into a 164-room boutique hotel, which will be managed by Provenance Hotels.
The Mount Vernon Company initially purchased the property in 2014 but left it alone until construction started earlier this spring. The interior will be decorated with paintings by Boston artists, overlaid with the titles of songs by Boston music legends such as Aerosmith and Donna Summer.
The hotel will offer studio suites for business travelers, as well as triple and quad rooms with shared bathrooms for larger groups. “Premium King” accommodations will also be available with ensuite bathrooms with rooms starting at approximately $150 a night.
The property’s large courtyard is being redesigned to house an indoor-outdoor restaurant with the basement converted into a bar that will double as co-working space during the day. Stay tuned for more details.
Saturday morning coffee
I’m finding it hard to concentrate on the coffee and wishing I knew what the rest of his chest looked like. It looks to me like he could potentially be a great furry Friday.
Saturday morning comics
ADAM & ANDY is set in the fictional New England town of Woodfield, CT. You can learn more about this strip by visiting, adamandandy.com.
The creator of Adam & Andy posted a series of comic strips this week focused on Dillon – a young guy with a somewhat troubled past who recently has found solace at Adam & Andy’s and who also recently started dating their nephew.

Mancandy
I’m still traveling and on the road so I didn’t have time to update my blog and am assuming nobody will mind this “fluff” post that I fondly refer to as mancandy. The good news about these posts are that they have zero calories and are likely to make you smile no matter what kind of day you’ve had.
Vintage gay
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
