ICA Boston opens “The Watershed” in East Boston, July 4th
Earlier this year The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) announced that the museum would expand and have a second satellite location in East Boston. Called “the Watershed”, the space will open to the public on Wednesday, July 4.
Located directly across the harbor from the ICAs home in the Seaport, the Watershed is in an active ship yard and is a refurbished former copper pipe and sheet metal facility. The 15,000 square foot industrial space along the East Boston waterfront increases the museum’s exhibition space by 50%.
The satellite space is seasonal open through October 8th this year then operating between late May and early October annually. Travel by boat between the two locations will be free to ICA members or with an ICA ticket.
I think this is great news and a wonderful addition to East Boston. The New York Times apparently agrees and has an article in this week’s Sunday Times, In an East Boston Shipyard, a Watershed Idea for Art. I hope the ICA’s investment in the neighborhood is a signal to other Boston cultural institutions to look across the harbor and make similar investments in this community. Visit here for more information about the ICA’s Watershed.

Shower serenade: Blame it on the Bossa Nova
While all of us sing in the shower, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a music video that takes place in one. Much thanks to Matthew Rettenmund for sharing this on his boyculture blog. I figured this would be a nice post to end the work week as many of us get ready for what looks to be a beautiful summer weekend. For those of you heading to Provincetown for Independence Week have fun.
Furry Friday
This guy is the perfect mix of handsome, sexy and cute. I bet Moms love him and boyfriends need to stay well hydrated.
What to do this weekend
Independence Week opens in Provincetown with the Independence 2018 Opening Night party on Friday. The weekend forecast calls for plenty of sun so if you’re not heading to the Cape you may want to consider a day trip to Ogunquit or if you want to stay closer to home, join Sergio and me this Saturday at Kiki Beach.
Saturday night the city will have fireworks over Boston harbor, starting at 9PM to celebrate summer. There are also several outdoor movies playing for free in Boston this weekend, including Saving Private Ryan and Jaws (both playing at Lawn on D) and Grease at Rowes Wharf. Whatever you do, make the most of your time and enjoy the great weather. Hopefully Sergio and I will see you out and about.

Vintage gay
What a handsome and happy photo. Any thoughts on when this may have been taken? I’m going to guess late 70s with all that wavy hair action.
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.
Tennis player Borna Coric is easy on the eyes
Many of you are unlikely to know who Borna Coric is but this past weekend he upset Roger Federer on grass at the Gerry Weber Open in Germany. With that win, the 21 year old Croat saw his ranking jump to just outside the top 20 (ATP ranking 21). His victory over Federer is all the more impressive when you realize that this is only his second title and his first on grass.
The fact that Borna Coric is so easy on the eyes will only continue to endear him to me. I hope that his recent victory over Roger Federer in Germany provides him with the confidence he will need to have a good run at Wimbledon, which officially starts next week on July 2nd. Until that time enjoy these photos of the handsome 21 year old. 
You can bet, I’ll be writing about this guy again. Especially if he keeps winning.
