Ptown’s 2017 Carnival: Gods & Goddesses

Ptown

2017 Provincetown Carnival Gods & Goddesses: OMG, what will we wear?

100,000 people were expected to come and see Provincetown’s annual carnival parade. This year’s theme Gods & Goddesses had many wearing togas or paying tribute to Greek and Roman Gods but as usual many attendees took liberties with the theme, showing off more than a little creativity.

Below are some wonderful photos taken by my friend and photographer, Kyle Szary. Much thanks to Kyle and to all who posed for a photograph.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

HINT: People are taking this riddle literally, think of a play on words that might be the longest in the English language.

One year ago

Kyle Szarzy, Provincetown, Ptown, CarnivalOne year ago, during Ptown’s Carnival Parade our friend Kyle took this picture of Sergio and me on Commercial Street.  Last year’s theme was the 1980s; not that you’d be able to tell from what we were wearing.

Below is a quick video I posted on Instagram of one of the 1980s themed house parties we attended before the parade.

Facing America’s racist present

The title of this post was intentionally a play on words and could easily have read “Facing America’s racist President”. Make of that observation what you will, but his comments regarding recent events in Charlottesville, VA are an embarrassment and more reminiscent of the 1960s than present day.

IMO President Trump’s sympathetic response to white supremacists  is not particularly surprising considering how consistently he has courted this group. What is surprising is how many people chose to either abstain from our Presidential election or voted for Trump despite his ongoing flirtations with the KKK and white supremacist leaders.

I’m left wondering if America has become so polarized that there is no line that cannot be crossed – No behavior that cannot be overlooked – No action that warrants a response: Provided those who cross that line, exhibit bad behavior or act inappropriately identify with your political philosophy. It is laughable to think most American’s claim not to identify with a political party because how easily we write off behavior (on both sides) indicates quite the opposite.

This week on Instagram: chuando_chuandoandfrey

chuando, chuandoandfreyThis week on Instagram I’m featuring a profile I first saw on Unicorn Booty. ChuanDo Tan is from Singapore, a former model turned photographer who is 50 but has a body better than most 20 year old guys.

ChuanDo’s photos are a combination of flirty selfies (not all as revealing as the one above) and pictures from his photography business, Chuando & Frey, known for its edgy fashion photos. I love that Chuando’s pictures challenge stereotypes about age and race, and I think you’ll like Chuando’s washboard abs.

Leaving for Provincetown’s Carnival celebrations

Provincetown Carnival

Wes dressed as Batman for 2014 Carnival: Comic Book Capers

Tomorrow Sergio and I are heading out on the morning ferry to Provincetown. Although the theme week runs from Saturday to Saturday, the celebrations climax on Thursday as Commercial Street closes for people to show off their individual and group costumes — this is my favorite part of the week — followed by the annual parade.

This year’s theme is Gods & Goddesses.

New discount airline to offer flights from Boston to London

travel, gay travelEarlier this summer another European discount airline announced it will offer nonstop service between Boston and London.  Flights will start on Saturday, May 19, 2018, leaving from London Stansted. Although I’ve never heard of Stansted, according to the airport website there is a train called the Stansted Express that can be taken. Trains leave 7-days a week every 15 minutes (and every 30 minutes for early and late trains). The trains get you into the heart of London in approximately 45 minutes.

Introductory fares are now available for < $100 each way

Primera Air is a Scandanavian discount airline best known for short haul flights in Europe, but for these transatlantic flights to Boston and Newark they will be using the Airbus A 321. One would presume if they can break into this competitive market they will expand to more airports in the United States and offer more destinations in Europe for budget-conscious travelers.

London Stansted – Boston 
Flight PF043 Depart London Stansted 17:00 – Arrive Boston 20:10 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday)
Flight PF044 Depart Boston 21:40 – London Stansted 09:30 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday)
