My connections to Brazil continue to grow stronger so I am only too happy to share what looks like a fun party that will take place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil this Saturday, October 12th at the Music Hall. Are you in Brazil or do you have friends there? Please feel free to share.
Di Latte (Milk) features four DJs: Danny Verde from Italy, Edu Quintas from The Week, ROBIX from Rio de Janeiro and ALESS from Belo Horizonte.
2014 Orthodox Calendar cover
Each year the makers of this calendar reach out to let me know when their new calendar is available. It has always given me a good laugh – who knew orthodox garb could be so interesting. Maybe this will give some of you ideas for Halloween costumes later this month.
You can purchase a copy of the 2014 Orthodox Wall Calendar here.
This is a brilliant spoof of Time Magazine’s notorious May 2012 breastfeeding cover. Somehow the Photoshopped heads of Tea Party wingnut Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and our sycophant Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R-OH) is both upsetting and spot on.
I thought after the Republican Party’s expectations were dashed in the 2012 elections they would move away from their racist tinged Tea Party extremes. After all it wasn’t their moderation that led them to lose their bid for President, control of the US Senate, and 8 seats (cutting into their majority control) in the US House of Representatives.
Hurry up or you will be late for work.
Last night The AIDS Action Committee hosted ARTcetera 2013 to a sold out crowd only eager to mingle and bid on art. This year’s ARTcetera eliminated the live auction from year’s past, but nobody seemed bothered as they continued to peruse and bid on the items in the silent auction.
This is one of the better run charitable events I attend. If you missed this year’s ARTcetera, you’ll have to mark your calendars for the next auction in October 2015. Much thanks to Sergio for his help photographing the event.
Earlier this summer I sat down and talked to Harry Collings (owner of the soon to open Back Bay Harry’s). At the time he had hoped they would be able to open by the end of September. Unfortunately the restaurant / bar has yet to open but the work inside is coming together and it appears if this location will be opening very soon. Last week the final remnants of Geoffrey’s Cafe came down and a new awning and sign was installed to the exterior.
Stay tuned for more to come shortly.
Photographer: Jordan Matter
Earlier this summer the Imgur Photo Gallery called “Dancers Among Us” started to go viral. The photos from Jordan Matter are beautifully expressive and in my opinion humanize a style of dance that can at times seem out of reach and other worldly. Want to see more? Click here.

Sometimes just getting yourself out of bed is an accomplishment. Well done Tony.
Thanks to the generosity of my firm, I’m able to attend ARTcetera 2013 tonight in Boston. The funds from this event go to support The AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts. The event includes approximately 200 objects of art that may be bid upon in both silent and live auctions. It is an absolute blast, attracting an eclectic mix of art enthusiasts, artists, and supporters of the AIDS Action Committee. I’ve included a quick video from the last event that was held in 2011 to give you an idea of what one may expect from tonight’s program.

Gratuitous bum photo to inspire you to get up and enjoy the day.
I can’t recall the last time I said this but last Saturday I grabbed my passport (sorry local joke guys) and headed over to Harvard Square, and I have to admit it was a blast. The next day while I was perusing the Boston Globe online I happened to see an article raving about the nightlife in Harvard Square.
So why is Harvard Square’s nightlife rebounding? According to The Boston Globe article it is due to a concerted effort to help it flourish (Hello Boston Mayoral candidates would you please take note?)
The city of Cambridge wants a more vibrant nightlife and are encouraging more live music venues and asking restaurants to stay open later. The city is also reviewing the current cap on liquor licenses and policies governing outdoor late night dining. Don’t believe me? Read the Boston Globe article, Harvard Square Gets Its Nightlife Groove Back.
Hello Boston – would you please take note?
After two heartbreaking seasons, the Boston Red Sox surprised the pundits and exceeded everyone’s expectations, ending the year with the best record in the American League and tied with St. Louis for the best record in all of Major League Baseball.
About an hour ago the Red Sox started their first playoff game. against Tampa Bay. I am optimistically hopeful for another great play off season and am thankful to have the Red Sox as a distraction to the dumb asses in DC.
To say I’m disappointed in our government in DC would be an understatement. Once upon a time, our politicians were articulate, thoughtful and offered hope. Calling each other names and seething with contempt for each other seems more like behavior exhibited on an elementary school yard playground than from adults expected to help solve real-world, complicated problems.
