Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.
The MBTA’s failure to provide late night service opens the door for services like Uber to roll out $5 flat fares starting this weekend.
Angry with the MBTA for ending late night service on the weekends? Uber has stepped up to the plate and will be offering $5 flat fares for trips along the MBTA subway lines on its uberPool service starting March 19th and running through April 9th. The following is from the Uber Newsroom earlier this month.
The end of late night service on the T will have an impact on thousands of people who will be seeking an alternative safe ride home during early hours. In an effort to continue connecting Bostonians to the people, places, and businesses they love, we will be offering $5 uberPOOL rides along T subway lines during late night hours for four weekends starting on March 19th.
Watch for updates here.

Post-Gay? Friday, March 18 – Saturday, April 16, 2016
The Boston LGBTQIA Artist Alliance (BLAA) presents Post-Gay?, a group exhibit of twenty artists. An opening reception will take place on Friday, March 18 from 7-9PM at the Distillery Gallery in Southie at 516 E 2nd Street in Boston.
Post-Gay? considers the consequences of assimilation and progress. Where does growing mainstream acceptance leave more marginalized queer identities, and how do the myriad of LGBTQIA identities conceptualize themselves in the face of shifting cultural opinion? Who gets represented?
Featuring: Robert Chamberlin, Daniel Corral, Dave J Bermingham, DEAD ART STAR, Giancarlo Corbacho+Ariele Max, Jamieson Edson, Jeremy Endo, Gordon Feng, David Hannon, I.B.E., Jamezie, Liss LaFleur, Christopher Lineberry, Kirk Lorenzo, Dino Rowan, Hogan Seidel, Randi Shandroski, Warith Taha, Sarah Washburn, Zoe Perry-Wood

The Boston Ballet is back with a 10-day run of Kaleidoscope, a colorful fusion of works by 20th century masters that offers you a stunningly visual juxtaposition of four distinct pieces that runs for two hours and twenty minutes and has two intermissions. See you there.
What would St. Patrick’s Day in Boston be without a throwback Thursday reference to The Real Housewives of Southie?

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.
I love Australia and I love this Madonna tribute that involved more than 200 volunteers of all ages. Enjoy this fun video and feel free to dance along if you know the dance steps.
Ask for my friend Miro at Milton Hill Sport & Spa
I wanted to give a shout out to my friend Miro who is a personal trainer at the Milton Hill Sport & Spa located in the Milton – Dorchester Lower Mills area. The mild winter has brought us spring (New England’s most fleeting season) earlier than usual, and the summer months will be here before we realize it. Miro is just the guy to help you get into shape before bathing suit season arrives.
For more information give Milton Hill Sport & Spa a call or stop by and ask for Miro. He’s a great guy and can help you achieve your personal fitness goals.

Nathan Aldyne is the pseudonym for Michael McEachern McDowell, an American novelist and screenwriter who is perhaps best known for writing the screenplay Beetlejuice. Under the pseudonym, Nathan Aldyne, four gay-themed murder mysteries with Dennis Schuetz were penned and initially published in the 1980s Vermillion (1980), Cobalt(1982), Slate (1984), and Canary (1986).
Set in the pre-AIDS era the books capture what gay life in Boston and Provincetown was like. All four books have been been reprinted in handsome editions by Felony & Mayhem. They are available on the publisher’s website for purchase as well as Amazon.com and Apple’s iBooks. I’ve just downloaded the series and am reading them now. I am loving them. Pick up a copy.
In anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day which is tomorrow, I’ve included an appropriately themed image and would like to ask you to offer a funny caption. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.
Go find your own damn rainbow
Yamato II on Boylston Street in the Back Bay is easy to miss if you aren’t looking down. The subterranean restaurant serves up all you can sushi seven days a week, but I had never heard of it until we were introduced to it a few weeks ago, when friends of ours invited us to join them.
I love sushi but since Sergio doesn’t like it I rarely eat it. Fortunately, Yamato II serves up a lot of non-sushi options so even non-sushi enthusiasts like Sergio can really enjoy themselves. Since the photos I snapped don’t do the food justice I’ve opted to use the photo below from the restaurant’s website to give you a peek at some of the tempting things you can order.
The all you can eat sushi is $17.50 for lunch and $25 for dinner (Sunday through Thursday). It is a few dollars more for dinner on Friday and Saturdays but regardless of when you go it is a great deal for sushi lovers. Yamato also has a second location on 117 Chiswick Road in Brighton, MA.

Back in January Second Glass, the Boston-based company behind Wine Riot, was surprised by Mayor Walsh who indicated he was opposed to the wine store opening in the former home of Design Within Reach at 519 Tremont Street.
Second Glass took to Twitter to help get support from the neighborhood. I posted a link on my blog to show my support for Second Glass by sharing the link to their petition back on January 6th in my post here. A week later they received the necessary approval from the licensing board after many signed a petition telling Marty Walsh that Wine Riot was welcome in the South End.
No word when Wine Riot will be opening but it was nice to see the sign at the top of the post go up in the Atelier 505 commercial space.
