Okay… So I’ve called in the FB-calvary and I think I may have finally set up my blog page on facebook correctly. If you follow or read my blog, would you please check out and see if you can find “BosGuy Blog” on facebook and if so follow / friend me or whatever the f*ck facebook people do.
Due to tomorrow being the Day of Silence I may be slow to respond, but leave a comment here if you can find and tag me on facebook. If you’re having issues let me know too.
Thank you blog-people.

Josey is both easy on the eyes and does an impressive acoustic cover of Britney Spears “I Wanna Go”… Damn the kid can whistle. You can follow Josey on Twitter here, JoseyGreenwell.
Thanks for the tip acuteguySF.
Who says that Chelsea Handler’s show is not educational? Tonight she shared this late breaking news. The Maine State Senate has agreed to allow them one-armed residents to carry switchblades. According to news service Reuters this will “eliminate a need for one-armed people to be forced to open folding knives with their teeth in emergencies”.
The knives will, however, be limited to a blade three inches or shorter, in keeping with a federal flick knife law which delightfully “allows their use by a person with one arm only on federal property if the blade is shorter than three inches”. You can read the full story here.
Thank you Chelsea Handler for sharing this useless tidbit of news.

I re-Tweeted this from Kevin_byDesign…not sure of the origin, but I couldn’t pass it up. You may remember that Kevin was one of my #MenOfTwitter from last week. If you’re on twitter check him out. He’s handsome and funny.
THE DAY OF SILENCE which is sponsored by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, is a day of action where students across the country take some form of a vow of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. Through their activities students can speak out against harassment and organize for change for their schools and communities.
Not a student? No worries, neither am I but I’ll be showing my support for THE DAY OF SILENCE by refraining from blogging & tweeting. If you have a blog or actively use Twitter, I hope you will join me and the thousands of others on Friday, April 15th.
If you’d like to learn more, go to DAY OF SILENCE.

How F*cked Is The T? is a new website application that provides real-time MBTA transit data and offers commuters using the Orange, Red, Blue and Green lines with useful information such as wait times and when trains are approaching T stations.
I give the creators bonus points for the cheeky name and its ease of use. According to the Boston Innovation site which first published the story, the application was created by Joey Brunelle and Goose Rock Design. A San Francisco firm that describes itself as a full-service web design & development company that excels at collaborating with small businesses and start-ups to create attractive, intuitive, awesome websites.

Without a doubt, Legal Sea Foods (or Legal’s as locals refer to it) is Boston’s best known, homegrown restaurant chain. Tourists often have this on their list of places to try even though restaurants are now in 9 states. A dinner at a Boston area Legal’s will run you approximately $40.00pp (starter, main plate and dessert) no alcohol or tip included. If the dinner prices are too steep, visit for lunch and you can dine for a bit less cash. Tonight, I ate at the Prudential Mall location and started with 1/2 dozen oysters. I devoured the Prince Edward Island and Cape Cod oysters within minutes. All were delicious but I prefer the P.E.I.’s (they are personal favorites).
1/2 Dozen Oysters: $13.95
Following the oysters I had fish-n-chips which is really quite excellent. Legal’s seems to always use just the right amount of batter and never overcook the fish. It’s a great value – less than most entrees and its incredibly filling. My plate came with 6 large fillets which left me more than stuffed and only too happy to have a mile walk home to help digest everything.
Fish-n-Chips: $16.95
Service can vary depending on the location you go, but the staff at the Prudential was attentive and helpful. Our waitress accommodated a few special requests and made some helpful suggestions when ordering. The food at Legal’s is consistently good and worth trying should you have a hankering for sea food.

Reservations: Not necessary but suggested

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 using Twitter. Adding to that attraction is the fact that 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 (or at a minimum looking at). 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.
TheMaverickMen – How could I not include Cole & Hunter? These two Boston guys have become household names for most gay men in the US and they remain very approachable on Twitter. If you’re a fan of their work, check them out. Reading about their adventures on Twitter is enough to brighten anyone’s day.
_JuanAutrey – I just think this guy from Detroit is so damn sexy. Not sure if it’s the eyes, lips or what but it all works, and I love seeing his picture appear on TweetDeck when he posts on Twitter.
Dominicsjr – Dominic (another Bostonian) proudly describes himself on his Twitter handle as a “gnerd”. Rarely does a gnerd look so ggood. Dominic’s tweets are generally humorous or about food. But for the record, I think this guy looks more like gstud.
BTW – If you like this post, ReTweet. If you love it, follow @BosGuy.

Well to be specific, a guy in a kilt (click on picture to enlarge). My friend opted to wear a traditional Scottish kilt to the black tie affair Fenway Health Men’s Event. No comment on what was under the kilt, but lets just say all the guys who decided to wear a kilt (and there were quite a few) were comfortable and not nearly as warm as the rest of us in our tuxedos.
I’ve assembled a quick video you can view on YouTube “Fenway Men’s Event 2011” or you can watch it in the post below this one.

Check out this video from the Fenway Health Men’s Event in Boston last night. The sold out black tie event is a critical fund raiser for the Fenway Health Clinic. More than 1,300 gay men and their friends showed up to help raise money to support the Fenway.
Did you know? Fenway Health’s Ansin 10-story clinic is the largest facility ever constructed by an organization with a specific mission to serve the LGBT community.
Fenway Health Mission
The mission of Fenway Health is to enhance the well-being of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and all people in our neighborhoods and beyond through access to the highest quality health care, education, research and advocacy.

I’ve been reading a fair amount of gay fiction lately and wanted to write about two books for anyone looking for something to read. The first book, Catch Me If You Can by LB Gregg was a surprisingly funny and quick read. In just over 200 pages Gregg weaves a tale told from the perspective of Caesar Romano, “a lowly gallery assistant” who is living with his grandmother in New York City. Returning to work the following morning after a particularly successful gallery opening, Caesar realizes all is not right when a Justin Timberlake bust from the collection is missing. What ensues is an entertaining mystery full of miscommunications, misunderstandings and a hint of romance. If you are looking for a light and easy read, this is one worth trying.
The Silver Hearted is a darker, less straight forward story than the previous book. Billed as an updated gay-themed version of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, this 200+ page book is less transparent and more ominous. The parallels to Conrad’s classic are obvious (maybe too obvious). However, the author, David McConnell, is a gifted writer and he quickly pulled me in with his exotic settings and strange characters. Similar to the classic a sense of confusion and foreboding persists throughout. Where this book definitely deviates from Conrad’s is the gay theme, which is subtly introduced and beautifully written. The sexual tension between the main character and a young deck hand is the real story and becomes more enthralling with each passing chapter.
I hope that by providing two very different options, one may speak to you and you will go to your local library or bookstore to take-out or buy a copy. If possible, I’d like to encourage other avid readers to support their local libraries which have been strapped for cash and can certainly use your patronage or if owning a personal copy is important – consider going to your local bookstore. Too many local bookshops have had to close shop in recent years.
This Saturday, April 9th is Fenway Health Men’s Event. The black tie affair draws 1,300+ gay men and their friends each year to help raise funds for one of the nation’s largest GLBT clinics. In recent years, the Fenway has opened a state of the art 10-story clinic on Boylston Street in the Fenway neighborhood, allowing them to help more members of our community.
I’ll be snapping pictures from Saturday’s affair and will share those pictures on my blog following the event. However, if you would like to get involved and help make a difference Fenway Health is always looking for volunteers and donations (no matter how humble the amount).
You can learn more about the great work Fenway is doing here in Boston and through out the region as well as their cutting-edge research which helps the GLBT community at-large by visiting their site today, www.FenwayHealth.org.
I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, but I can’t wait for Monday!
