Furry Friday

hairy, hunk, muscles, gorgeous, manIf I saw this guy running along the Esplanade, I’d definitely pick up my pace to stay within sight of him.  Now that the students are back in Boston I find a lot of similar “inspirations” on my runs.

911At 9:03 in the morning on September 11, 2001 hijackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into floors 75-85 of the WTC’s South Tower, killing everyone on board, including my friend Graham Berkelely. While I still think of him during happier times of the year, I can’t help but remember him on this day.

Spain edges out France and becomes top gay travel destination in Europe

Posted on September 10, 2015 | Leave a comment

gay-travelLast week Bloomberg published an interesting article, Rich Gay Men Wanted: Spain’s Conservatives Make Tourist Appeal. I assume that the tourist industry in general likes wealthy travelers and not everyone who is gay falls into the category of rich but I thought the article was interesting nonetheless.

According to a report by LGBT Capital, tourists are flocking to Spain contributing about $6.8 billion to the local economy, edging out France as Europe’s most popular destination for gay and lesbian travelers.  The report finds that gay travelers spend on average 30% more than mainstream tourists.

Matt Damon returns for Bourne 5

Posted on September 10, 2015 | Leave a comment

moviesBourne 5 won’t be the name of the sequel set to open in 2016, but it remains untitled so it is the best I could do. The movie which is filming on location, attracted a bit of buzz this week after the producer, Frank Marshall, tweeted out this photo of Matt Damon, who is looking pretty buff.

According to IMDB, Julia Stiles returns (yay!) and the cast also includes Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel and Alicia Vikander, but let’s be frank – what we really want to see is some bad ass, shirtless scenes like the one photographed above with at least one completely unrealistic but still addicting chase scene.

Where are the best deals for lodging in NYC

Posted on September 9, 2015 | 3 comments

travel, handsome, hunkNormally I share information with you but in this post I’m turning the tables. I have been asked by a friend to help them find an affordable option when they go to New York City next month; preferably in Manhattan. Clean, safe and if possible conveniently located are what this traveler is looking for so she can extend her business trip to enjoy some personal time in NYC.

Do you have a favorite place to stay that won’t break the bank for a traveler burdened by a budget? Share your favorite suggestions in the comments section below so all may read.

Intro to ballet workshop in South End starts Sept 19

Posted on September 9, 2015 | Leave a comment

suddenly it makes senseMy friend, Christopher, will be teaching his 5-week Intro to Ballet Workshop, starting September 19th.  This is an excellent way for you to build strength and coordination.  Alone or with friends, the workshop which runs each Saturday from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm is a wonderful alternative to the gym.  The workshop could not be taught by a nicer, more knowledgeable teacher.

The cost for the 5 week class is a steal at $90, making this also a great gift idea.  After you complete Intro to Ballet 1 there is an Intro to Ballet 2 you can continue with if you find yourself looking to learn more.

Making friends in Boston (social clubs and groups)

Posted on September 8, 2015 | Leave a comment

boston, gay lifeEvery September tens of thousands of people move into Boston for the first time. New arrivals can find Boston to be a tough town to break into and make friends but staying at home is not the answer so I’ve compiled a list of LGBT activities and social groups where you can meet people.  If you have a suggestion, feel free to share in the comments section of this post.

Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is one of New England’s largest and most successful community-based choruses.  Auditions are Sunday, September 13th.

Boston Gay Men’s Books Club is monthly book club featuring literature by and about gay men.  Currently reading Other Voices Other Rooms by Capote.

Dignity Boston is a progressive, inclusive community of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics and their allies.

Fellows by TWC is a group of 30+ singles who meet the third Wednesday of each month for cocktails and conversation (next meeting is Sept. 16).

Fenway Health has been working to make life healthier for the LGBT community for more than 40 years; the Fenway and AAC are always looking for volunteers.

Gay For Good mobilizes the LGBT community to interact with the greater community by volunteering their time with different monthly activities.

Keshet Boston is a grassroots organization working for the full inclusion of LGBT Jews in Jewish life, offering community events for LGBT Jews in Greater Boston.

Opus Affair is probably best known for their monthly cocktail party hosted at local restaurants  to raise money for local arts organizations. Next cocktail party is Tuesday, September 29th at Win & Nod in the South End.

The Welcoming Committee is a young, social group who organize activities to broadening the spectrum of gay life here in Boston and beyond.

Apologies if I have overlooked any area gay organizations in the area.  Feel free to add information for any such group in the comments section of my blog.
