Later this week, starting Friday, November 17 and running through Sunday, November 19 Provincetown plays host to the 5th annual Mr. New England Leather Weekend. The weekend includes a variety of events including a fetish film festival, BLUF Cigar Social and the weekend’s feature; the Mr. New England Leather contest where the 2018 titleholder will be chosen.
For a full list of events, visit their website, mrnewenglandleather.org.
It has been a long time since I’ve shared a workout but with the holidays upon us, and overindulging a reality I cannot (and maybe you too) escape, I wanted to share a workout I read in Men’s Health. It will take about 20 minutes to do but will have you feeling the burn for several days after.
1 – Box Jumps: (100 reps) The article adds as a reminder to be sure to swing one’s arms while jumping to maximize height.
2 – Dumbbell front squat push press: (100 reps) Hold one dumbbell in each hand over your shoulders, squat, then use the momentum as you come up from your squat to press the dumbbells up above your head. The article suggests using 25lbs dumbbells but use whatever you think you can manage.
3 – Wall balls: (100 reps) Stand facing a wall with the med ball in hand; squat, and on your way up, throw the med ball up over your head and against the wall.
I’ve yet to do this but plan on trying a modified version of this workout later this week (with half the repetitions and breaking it into two sets). I doubt I can do this workout without customizing it and you should do the same. The article has a handy video that I couldn’t figure out how to embed so if you’d like to watch it link here: Watch the Workout Video Here.
While I was compiling this week’s post about LGBTQ events in and around Boston I inadvertently forgot to mention that money raised at Club Cafe’s Bingo tonight will go to benefit Community Servings.
For those who may be new to Boston or unfamiliar with the Community Servings charity, Community Servings prepares and delivers lunches and dinners each week to families who are home-bound with an acute life-threatening illness. Each November Community Servings’ Pie in the Sky fundraiser raises money to help them continue these important services.
Check out tonight’s Pie In The Sky Bingo at Club Cafe starting at 7PM and don’t forget to place a pie order for Thanksgiving from Community Servings. If you won’t be around for the holiday, you can always donate the pie to a family to help bring more holiday cheer to their Thanksgiving.

Your kilt should be short enough to dance a jig.
Long enough to hide your shamrocks.
Lots happening this week in and around Boston. I’ve pulled together a partial list highlighting a variety of events and parties to help you figure out what you might like to do.
