Celebrating with family and friends
Today is my birthday… not a milestone like last year but still a fun day is planned with family and friends.
My brother’s birthday is next week so we’ve combined our celebrations and will be heading to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox game this afternoon joined by about 30 others. The day has started sunny but brisk (in the low 50s BRRRR). Hopefully the sun will remain and the mercury will start to rise before game time in a few hours.
My birthday wish this year would be that you have a wonderful day. Let’s spread some good karma around.
SoWa Open Market
SoWa Open Market returns starting today, Sunday, May 1st from 10AM – 4PM at 460 Harrison Avenue. Through the past few years, I’ve watched this Sunday market grow both in size and variety. A couple of years ago the market grew so large and popular they moved it up Harrison Ave to where it currently resides.
Each Sunday, the market includes scores of artisans; food trucks selling all sorts of tempting food ranging from the savory to the sweet; a farmer’s market; as well as many unique boutiques that line Thayer Street.
The market which runs every Sunday through the autumn (excluding holiday weekends) draws thousands now and is worth checking out.
Kylie Minogue US Aphrodite Tour: Boston
Growing up in Boston has afforded me the opportunity to see nearly any musical act I’d like. Pop stars of all kinds at some point tour the US and a date (or dates) in Boston are almost always included. Kylie Minogue was an exception to this – that is until last night when her Aphrodite tour came to Boston. Ms Minogue started her North American tour earlier in the week in Montreal, but Boston was / is the first US city and she wasted no time acknowledging that to the crowds delight. However, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself…
For those from outside the US, you may find it hard to believe, but Kylie Minogue is still a musician with very little name recognition. If she is known at all it would be more as a 1-hit wonder despite having a couple of hits here in the US (notably The loco-motion, Spinning around and Can’t get you out of my head). The exception to this, would be with the gay community which seems to know nearly every song she’s released, and every word to those songs. Kylie often stopped singing during her songs to let the crowd which was 80-90% gay men (a conservative estimate on my part) sing along to the songs.
She plays several notable covers among my favorite was There must be an angel by the Eurythmics (but there are other gems included through out that both surprised and added to the show). If you’d like to see her set list for this tour you can check that out here. 
The crowd was already whipped into a frenzy by the time Kylie stepped on stage, but the energy level never really dipped or dropped at least not from where I was standing (some 10 rows back from the stage). Thank you Kylie for coming to Boston – I certainly hope you’ll pay us a visit again. Included below are a few more pictures from the show as well as a video of a song I’m sure you’ll recognize.
And finally, just a teaser of what you can expect if you are lucky enough to see Kylie on her US tour. This is from her Boston performance on Friday, April 29th.
Tonight:Kylie in Boston
See you there
Boys of Boston: Britney Spears, (Drop Dead) Beautiful
Shot in the South End and over at dBar its a cute homage to Ms. Britney Spears. I have to admit I feel lucky to be in a city with so many handsome guys.
Thanks David over at WGB for the tip.
Label whore
Need I say more?
Thanks for the picture Andy.
Je me souviens
One year ago this week I was in Paris with Sergio celebrating my 40th birthday. So I thought I would post a handful of photographs from the trip. I know that many people think the French and Parisians in particular are rude, but that has never been my experience. I love the food, the architecture, the downtown neighborhoods (and yes – the people too).
We had a wonderful time and splurged mightily staying at a beautiful hotel and enjoying all Paris had to offer. Some of the highlights included drinking champagne at a little bar in the Marais and people watching, having dinner near the opera house with Alicia, the views from atop the Eiffel Tower, and dinner at the oldest run brasserie in the city of Paris located in another favorite neighborhood, the Bastille.
Is it Vanity or Health?
Do you work out or when you hear the word “gym” do you think someone is referring to a guy (Jim). If you do work out what motivates you to exercise and stay true to your regimen? Is it vanity or personal health? Do you work out to off-set personal health decisions (e.g. you run so you can treat yourself to desserts or go out drinking and not feel guilty?)
I’m curious what motivates you and the people I see regularly at my gym each week. No matter how hard I work out, I’m not going to have a body like these guys so my own personal motivation can’t be all vanity… can it?
Oy am I really that shallow? I hope not.

Too funny. Thanks Tim for the tip.
American Experience: Stonewall Uprising
Think its difficult to be gay today? Watch PBS “American Experience: Stonewall Uprising”, it is a sobering documentary on Gay life in the 1960s.
American Experience: Stonewall Uprising
When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City on June 28, 1969, the street erupted into violent protests that lasted for the next six days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world.

Restaurant Review: PICCO
PICCO (short for Pizza & Ice Cream Co.) is a very casual restaurant open for lunch and dinner with a large patio overlooking Tremont Street in the South End. Although they are best known for their pizzas (which are excellent) and their homemade ice cream, the restaurant features other delicious options all reasonably priced and well made.
Because of the reasonable price-point and menu, PICCO generally has a lot of tables with young children. This is a place to grab a quick bite or order for take out, and the restaurant seems to recognize and embrace this. Prices are less than most restaurants in the neighborhood. One can have an entire meal (appetizer, main course and dessert) for less than $25.00 – if you share a pizza the average price drops below $20.00.
On my most recent visit I opted to have fish tacos which are delicious. One order comes with 3 flour tacos filled with flaky white fish, cabbage, black beans, chilies, avocado, chipotle vinaigrette & cilantro; total cost $14.00
It is hard to visit PICCO without indulging your sweet tooth. On many summer evenings I’ve been known to find all sort of excuses to walk by PICCO so I can order an ice cream to go. On this occasion I shared the decadently delicious dark chocolate brownie sundae ($7.50), which is so large it really should be shared.
PICCO is located at 513 Tremont Street in the South End (617)927 0066
Reservations not required walk-in table service available.

Men of Twitter
I’m a fan of Twitter. I love how quick and easy it is to use and connect with people. Another perk is what I’ll refer to as the “Men of Twitter” since there are so many handsome guys. Adding to their attraction is the fact they only talk in 140 characters.
Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles that have caught my attention and whom I think you may enjoy following. As always, suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome and if you’d like to follow me, you can find me at @BosGuy. Below are a few more #MenOfTwitter you may want to follow.
ChrisNogiec – Chris (photo above) is another hottie who lives in Boston. He just changed his profile photo, but I’ve opted to keep his previous picture which shows off his amazing body. Chris not only has model looks, he’s a doctoral candidate, which by Boston standards means he’s wicked smart.
IM_Magoo – Not sure how Jake settled on his twitter name but I think this guy from Sydney is absolutely dreamy. His blue eyes, dark hair and scruff create a trinity of sex appeal. His tweets are full of Australian colloquialisms like “good onya” – only adding to his appeal.
ErikJudd – Erik from upstate New York may have the most kissable lips I’ve ever seen on a twitter profile picture. If I ever dated this guy he’d never have a chance to get on twitter, because I think I’d constantly be trying to kiss him.
BTW – If you like this post, ReTweet. If you love it, follow @BosGuy.

F1 Boston
Today I went to F1 Boston with my father, partner, brother and brother-in-law. For those unfamiliar, F1 Boston has two indoor tracks where you can race in miniature formula 1 cars (more like go-carts on steroids).
It was more fun than I expected. As it turned out my partner, Sergio, and brother-in-law, Travis, were the real speedsters finishing with the fastest times. However, I had a respectable showing with top speeds in the low 40s. In the first race I got into a fender-bender with my father (both of us claim its the other’s fault). I fared better in the 2nd race with higher top and average speeds. After, we headed out to dinner in Boston where we continued to talk about our pseudo-Formula 1 experience.

Below, from left to right: Tim (my brother), your’s truly, Travis (brother-in-law) and Dad. No picture of Sergio in this one as he’s the only reliable photographer and obliged by snapping this on his iPhone (thank you Sergio).
