Although I acknowledge I’m hardly a facebook power user, I have figured out how to have all my blog posts publish there. If you would prefer to read my blog on facebook, you can search for my blog by typing “BosGuy blog” and select “Like”.
To paraphrase a line delivered by Sally Field at the Oscars, “Do you like me? Do you really, really like me?”

This weekend I rode my bike through Fort Point Channel and the Seaport District. Growing up, this part of Boston was referred to as Southie and it was mostly vacant and considered undesirable, which is crazy when you realize its proximity to downtown and it is waterfront property. These neighborhoods still have a far way to go, but the city is doing a great job wooing businesses and setting aside public space for everyone to enjoy. Some of my favorite bars (drink anyone?), great restaurants (too many to list), cool shops (e.g. Louis Boston) and points of interest like the Institute of Contemporary Art and Children’s Museum now dot these neighborhoods.
Fort Point Channel sits next to the Leather and Financial District. Most of the buildings are refurbished mills dating back to the second half of the 19th century.
The Seaport District has a more modern look with newer buildings and public art.

According to Adam’s Hospitality and Tourism Industry Blog 15 new food truck locations will debut throughout Boston on Wednesday, July 13th.
Boston is so beautiful in the summer. I was out riding my bike along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway this past weekend. This park which stretches from North to South through the heart of the city replaces what was formerly an elevated interstate highway. The interlocking Greenway is still being developed but over the past few years, a lot has been done and I love what has been accomplished. The following pictures were from my bike ride.

Shoegayzie This recent transplant to London known to his friends as Regan Reyes first got my attention with his profile’s play on one of my favorite Smith’s songs. It seems as if lately, I’ve been on a kick following more and more guys from London. What is it about guys in this city… I think you’ll get drawn in too.

About The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp: Originally founded in 1988 by Paul Newman, this non-profit is a residential summer camp and year-round center serving children and their families coping with cancer and other serious illnesses and conditions. The camp serves more than 15,000 each year and all it’s services are provided free of charge.
The Boston Globe is reporting that the latest US Census shows that Boston has the highest ratio of 20 to 34 year olds among large US cities. With more than 1/3 (35%) of the city’s residents falling into this age range. This represents an 11% jump from the figure reported one decade before.
Interestingly, the large number of young men and women living in Boston does not translate into having a great nightlife. As a matter of fact, my theory is that Bostonian conservatism combined with a large university population has contributed to many of the city’s laws that restrict public drinking and require bars to close at 2AM.
However, this demographic does provide a lot of energy and vitality to the city which is evident whenever you walk around the streets of Boston. Other cities with high ratios of 20 to 34 year olds include: Austin and Washington D.C., Seattle, and San Francisco.

Tonight only, Boston becomes a bear haven as this happy-go-lucky group of gay fur balls fly into town. Saturday morning they will board the ferries to Provincetown (weekly rentals on the Cape run from Saturday to Saturday).
Many come from far away locations making a one night stay in Boston necessary. Actually through late August going out in Boston on Friday nights is a bit surreal. Most of the local gays pack there bags early and leave for either the Cape (meaning Provincetown) or the coast of Maine (meaning Ogunquit)so there always seems to be a disproportionate number of guys from out-of-town on Fridays. If you are interested in learning more about Bear Week in Provincetown, link here.

Yesterday I was working out with my trainer at the Boston Sports Club SouthEnd when movement out of the corner of my eye distracted me from the ridiculous ab routine Stu had concocted to try and tire me. Glancing over my left shoulder, I saw an attractive guy in his mid-20s shaking his money-maker. The little jig made me laugh, but I applauded his energy as he sat back down on the bench to continue with his work out.
Through out the evening his dance routine continued between reps, while waiting in line for water and even walking from one spot to the next. It was always the same albeit fairly involved. The dance moves seemed to invigorate him and entertain everyone in the gym. I turned to my trainer between stifled laughs and said “only in the SouthEnd”. I’m pretty sure he was aware of the attention and enjoyed it as much as I appreciated the distraction between sets.
I’m hopeful I’ll be seeing more of twinkletoes (my nickname for the handsome young man) and if I’m lucky, I’ll even break out my phone to try and tape one of his routines. On the off chance anyone reading this works out at the BSC SouthEnd, have you seen this guy before? Do you know him?

Provincetown is blessed with beautiful dunes and gorgeous beaches. It is also amazingly quaint in its own way with beautiful homes, tiny streets and paths that lead to beautiful gardens with ocean views. However, this isn’t that kind of post. The sights listed are a sampling of some of the people who caught my attention this past weekend.
Some of these people I had the opportunity to chat with and enjoyed meeting. Others I just admired from a distance. I have included more images of “the sights” from Provincetown in a video I created which is in the following post.
I hope you enjoy the sights.

Provincetown is located at the very tip of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. This out of the way place where land greets the North Atlantic has long been a home for the gay community. Although in recent years, more heterosexual couples and families have started visiting, the town remains proudly gay in the summer months especially when the queer community comes to vacation en masse.
Starting this past weekend Provincetown opened its arms wide to welcome 40,000+ men and women. Although the 4th of July holiday is now over, thousands remain thru Saturday celebrating and enjoying the beaches, shopping, restaurants, shows (yes there’s quite a few) and nightlife. In all my travels, I’ve never found its equivalent and so if you’ve never had the opportunity, I’d encourage you to consider a visit. Following Independence Week, Saturday July, 9th, more will come for Bear Week. This combined with Carnival Week (August 13-20) are the three busiest for Provincetown. Below I’ve included a quick (and SFW) video of some of the fun and people I met this past weekend in Provincetown. More pictures will follow.
