Vote on November 6th
Few things frustrate me more than people who complain about the current political climate but do nothing to improve it. I wish that Americans followed politics half as close as they follow the Kardashians, but sadly that isn’t the case. It is for this reason, I believe we have a reality ‘star’ as our current President.
Tuesday, November 6th is election day in all 50 states. If you are registered but don’t know where to go or if you didn’t register but want to change that so you can vote in the next election visit: vote.org.
Men in kilts

Boston’s gay club Ramrod / Machine days are numbered
More than a few of you forward me the article from this week’s Boston Globe, Here’s what a British dorm builder is planning for Boston.
Anyone who knows the city can easily see that the building that houses the gay nightclub, Ramrod / Machine is demolished in the rendering above to make space for a 15-story building that will house approximately 500 private dorms, which will be marketed to graduate students.
Scape, the company that filed notice with the city, sharing their plans to build a 205,500-square-foot, 15-story building on Boylston Street in the Fenway, was described in the article as “replacing a row of low-slung storefronts along a stretch of the road that has otherwise been transformed by new development over the last decade.” Ouch, but so true. Ramrod / Machine’s days are numbered and while there is no word on when the inevitable development will displace the club, I hope the owners will plan to reopen in another location rather than close their doors permanently.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Earlier this week Sergio and I were invited to a special screening of Bohemian Rhapsody, which opens nationally tomorrow, November 2nd.
As you might surmise, Bohemian Rhapsody is about the rock band, Queen and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and the darker side of success, concluding with Freddie reuniting with his bandmates in time for Live Aid in 1985. While you don’t have to like Queen’s music to find this movie enthralling, for those who admired and loved Freddie Mercury this is a must see movie.
Bohemian Rhapsody is showing in multiple theaters in and around Boston. There is more information about this film in the links shared below.
