Scruffy Sunday
Airberlin will provide daily service between Boston and Dusseldorf in 2017

Traveling to Germany is about to get a bit easier for Bostonians. Earlier this month Airberlin announced plans to increase their nonstop flights between Boston and Dusseldorf from four times a week to daily service starting May 2017. According to data shared by the airline, these routes are running at nearly 80% capacity with much of the revenue coming from business travelers.
Airberlin only recently started flying out of Boston, initially offering service between the two cities three times a week. This past June the airline increased the service to four times a week and it would appear to bode well for both tourists and business that the airline now sees daily service as profitable.

This weekend marks the 97th Feast of Saint Anthony in Boston’s North End. Started in 1919 by Italian immigrants from the small town of Montefalcione in Avellino, Saint Anthony’s Feast has become the largest Italian Religious Festival in New England.
Although the festival officially starts this evening at 7PM most of the activities are on Saturday and Sunday, culminating with the ten hour procession through the North End starting at 12 Noon on Sunday, August 28th.

Sausagefest coming to the South End
Am I the only one who finds this hilarious? I feel like this event is about 20 years too late to the South End which has become so gentrified that they actually created an event called Sausagefest and nobody batted an eyelash or thought for a moment about the double-entendre. What is this world coming to?
Vintage gay
Dirk Bogarde and Anthony Forwood were a couple for more than 50 years. Dirk was an incredibly successful actor and Anthony was his manager. The first photo looks as if it may have been taken in the 1950s and the second showing Anthony on the left and Dirk on the right was taken in the 1980s before Forward died in May of 1988. You can learn more about this interesting pair here.
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share for a future post? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.

The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Boston is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its collection and signature waterfront building in the Seaport with the largest and most ambitious presentation of its collection to date.
First Light: A Decade of Collecting at the ICA
August 17, 2016 to January 16, 2017
This exhibition is organized by the ICA’s curatorial department under the leadership of Eva Respini, Barbara Lee Chief Curator. First Light: A Decade of Collecting at the ICA is on view from August 17, 2016 to January 16, 2017. During the first week of October, midway through the presentation, there will be a rotation of some of the sections (or “chapters”) enabling more of the collection to be showcased and new works and juxtapositions to be explored.
Don’t forget that every Thursday from 5PM – 9PM admission to the ICA Boston is free to the public so if money is tight, you can still come by on a Thursday evening to see this special exhibit.
