Since Erasure is in Boston tonight on their Violet Flame Tour I thought I’d play a classic Erasure song. Have a great time if you are heading to see these guys tonight. They put on a great show.
I normally focus my content on Boston, Ptown and Ogunquit but tonight I wish I was in San Francisco to see Peaches Christ theatrical production and latest stage play, Coven: Return of the Manderson Sisters.
The show is at the Castro Theatre and looks to be a blast. Are you in San Francisco? Do you have plans to check out this production? Do tell. I’d love to be there to see it.
Living in Massachusetts it is easy to forget that there are cities and states around the country that do not have LGBT non-discrimination laws on the books.
While homophobia exists everywhere, there is power in having the law on your side and over time those laws influence behavior and help to change attitudes because the LGBT community is more welcomed and as a result able to live more openly.
Watch this video and share it.
Outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Friday that the Department of Justice would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold same-sex marriage rulings from lower courts.
Don’t think elections count? Think again. Can you imagine any Republican President’s administration arguing on behalf of and in defense of LGBT rights?

Juvenile, crass, rude – yes, but it still makes me laugh. Checkout this new Nicki Minaj video dubbed with only farts. Apparently no matter how old I get, there remains an 8 year old boy in me. In all fairness, it does significantly improve Ms. Minaj’s music.
This week’s bonus fur post is incognito, but I don’t mind a bit. Do you?

Botto Bistro, an Italian restaurant in the San Francisco area, claims that Yelp is basically the equivalent of the online mafia. Co-owner Davide Cerretini claims that after he stopped advertising on Yelp their reviews turned negative and a positive review even vanished.
Fed up with Yelp, Cerretini decided to do the unthinkable and aspire to be the worst reviewed restaurant on the site; going so far as to offer 25% off to customers who left a one-star review. Suffice it to say that Yelp is not pleased and has resulted in the online site to send a threatening email. However that has not stopped them. Check out their website it is hilarious, bottobistro.com.
Cerretini said to the SF Gate “I don’t have anything against Yelp. The idea is fantastic, but the blackmailing thing is ferocious,” says Cerretini. “I think I should be the one deciding if I’m on the site or not. At least I can be there on my terms. The only power they have is they make you reliable to them. So, I’m going to be one of the most unreliable restaurants.”
“I want to be the worst restaurant there is in the Bay Area,” he says. “I think this is the best business move I have made in years.”
Some of these Yelp reviews are pretty entertaining.
Thanks for the tip Todd. You can read more here.
