Celebrate 8 years of Opus Affair at The Hawthorne

Opus AffairTomorrow, Monday, May 16 join Opus Affair in Kenmore Square at The Hawthorne for their monthly cocktail social which also happens to be their 8th birthday extravaganza from 6pm – 9pm.

Unfamiliar with Opus Affair? The group is comprised of a mix of artists and art appreciators who get together each month for cocktails and to chat about the arts scene in Boston or whatever else comes to mind. Some people come for serious networking, others come for fun. There’s no agenda—just a chance to have a few drinks with other like-minded folks.

For more details and to RSVP (it is free) link here.

This is not a ball sack dryer

Iceland blowdryer signSome stories are so bizarre I can’t help but share them. I should give a shout out to NPR podcast, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, which brought this to my attention.

Apparently some men in swimming pool locker rooms in Iceland are taking advantage of the facilities, using communal hairdryers on their nether regions. To address this problem, one Icelandic pool has created a sign titled, “This is not a ball sack dryer”, the note continues saying, “Don‘t dry your ball sack or your butt with the communal hairdryer in the swimming pool or the gym… Bald older gentlemen with hairy torsos must either bring their own blow-dryers or just buy a more absorbent towel.”

They’ve even created a poster, showing an elderly man hair drying himself inappropriately, but have covered the problem area with a large red X.

SpeakEasy Stage ends season with Dogfight

Boston Theater

SpeakEasy Stage presents Dogfight at the Calderwood through June 4, 2016

SpeakEasy Stage is concluding their 25th season with the musical, Dogfight. The two act musical tells the story of three young Marines on their last night in San Francisco before they are shipped off to Vietnam.

The story centers around a contest the marine platoon hosts for each man to find and bring the homeliest girl to a party (shown above). The main character, Eddie Birdlace, unexpectedly develops feelings for his date and what follows will touch the romantic in you; at least it did with me.  The cast does the musical justice and this was probably my favorite production of their entire season. While the lead characters did a fine job I was especially taken by the crass and sassy supporting character, Marcy, who made me laugh every time she was on stage.

I’d love to get the thoughts of any women who may be familiar with the story or those who go to the SpeakEasy Stage production. This makes for a great date night option or evening spent with friends. Get your tickets, (they start at just $25) and tell me what you think.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.  If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s riddle:  Earlier today I witnessed a murder. It was loud and many people saw it but nobody said or did anything. Not long after all the evidence was gone. Can you explain what happened?

Like riddles? Check out past week’s brain teasers.

MA State Senate approves transgender rights bill

Public Accommodations Bill in MA, Transgender Rights, LGBT rightsStanding in stark contrast to North Carolina (boo, hiss) Massachusetts State Senate on Thursday approved a bill that would ban discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations. You may recall this was the source of much discontent at last month’s Boston Spirit Magazine, LGBT Executive Networking Night when keynote speaker, Gov. Charlie Baker, was booed off the stage because he wouldn’t come out in support of the bill.

The legislation expands a 2011 state law that previously banned discrimination against transgender people in the workplace and housing. The legislation now heads to the MA House where it is expected to pass and will put MA in good company, joining 17 other states and D.C. that have already banned discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations.

Hat tip to David over at WGB where I first read about this.

Do you make passes at guys who wear glasses?

hairy chest, handsome, hunkHere is a little known fact about me.  I find guys who wear glasses very sexy.  I think it makes a guys face look so much more interesting; not to mention I’m a fan of any excuse to accessorize.

What do you think? Do you make passes at guys who wear glasses?

Blog spotlight: The Boston Gayllennial

The Boston GayllennialI make no secret of the fact that I would like to see more LGBT bloggers in Boston. There are only a few of us (at least that I’m aware of) so I’d like to give a shout out to a newish blog that started earlier this year by an anonymous young man who identifies himself as “The Boston Gayllennial“.

His posts range on a variety of subject matter, providing a somewhat autobiographical account of his life and can be described as personal reflections about growing up as a gay millennial living in Boston. I enjoy reading his blog and added it to my blogroll some time ago.  Check out the blog and say hello to the young man by leaving him a comment in one of his posts.  I can assure you nothing motivates a blogger more than getting comments to a post you wrote.
