Believe it or not Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was released 30 years ago and to commemorate the hilarious 80’s comedy it will play on the Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision center field video board at Fenway Park on Wed., June 29th.
To ensure the best viewing, seating will be in the lower seating bowl and along the first baseline. The movie will take place rain or shine. General admission tickets are $10 and $5 for children. Fenway’s gates open at 7:00 and the movie will start at 8:15.
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Basket.
Basket (ˈbaskət/noun)
Definition: A reference to the outline of the male genital area as viewed through pants, swimsuit or underwear – also commonly referred to as “package”.
Example: I could distinctly see a VPL on that guy’s package when he walked by.
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. Much thanks to Matt from boyculture for posting this photo last month. Hopefully the caption below will inspire you to share a few captions.

Over the past several weeks I’ve had two business trips to San Francisco; each lasting a week. Unfortunately when I travel for work I have little spare time to enjoy myself, but one week ago when I was wandering through Chinatown I stumbled upon this restaurant. I didn’t end up going in but I’ve been chuckling about it ever since. Hope it brings a smile to you.
One month from today the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company will open their nearly 3 week run of free Shakespeare on the Boston Common. This year’s production will feature one of the Bard’s comedies: Love’s Labour’s Lost. The play draws on themes of masculine love and desire, reckoning and rationalization, and reality versus fantasy.
Love’s Labour’s Lost
Directed by Steven Maler
July 20 – August 7, 2016
FREE and open to the public
I will write more about the free performances later this summer. Please plan on coming down to the Boston Common one night with friends or maybe a special friend to enjoy the production directed by Steven Maler and the excellent cast.

Tomorrow, Monday, June 20 Opus Affair heads over to my favorite patio bar at Cinquecento in the South End (the restaurant also has free parking). Join them as they play host to a friendly crowd mostly comprised of 20-, 30- and 40-somethings at their monthly cocktail social which runs from 6pm – 9pm.
Unfamiliar with Opus Affair? The group is comprised of a mix of artists and art appreciators who get together each month for cocktails and to chat about the arts scene in Boston or whatever else comes to mind. Some people come for serious networking, others come for fun. There’s no agenda—just a chance to have a few drinks with other like-minded folks.
For more details and to RSVP (it is free) link here.
I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge my father (shown above) on this special day and say a word of thanks to my brother, Timothy, and brother-in-law, Travis, for being such amazing fathers to their children. My brother-in-law, Brett, will soon experience fatherhood as well and will be a great dad too.
This post is really dedicated to all the fathers who understand how much their children need them in their lives and for the sacrifices they make to ensure their children always feel loved and supported. It is a job with few holidays and that requires an infinite amount of patience and understanding.
Time to get out of bed and start your day.
Are you looking for something fun to do next weekend? Join The Welcoming Committee when they head back to the Oberon Theater for a takeover of The Donkey Show.
Unfamiliar with The Donkey Show? It is a disco adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and is a long-running glitter-filled show hosted at the Oberon Theater in Harvard Square. The show is an absolute blast. Sergio and I joined TWC back in 2013 and I still smile when I think about all the fun we had. 
This annual TWC event always sells out so take advantage of their limited number of discounted tickets ($5 off the public price). For more information about the program and how to get your discounted tickets, visit TWC’s event page, Donkey Show Takeover.

My good friend wrote a call to action blog post earlier this week in reaction to the violence in Orlando last weekend and I wanted to share it.
Read and share: You Think You Know.
FACT: One of the survivors of the Orlando shooting could be fired from their job or kicked out of their apartment simply for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Throughout most of Florida, it is legal to fire someone or deny them access to housing or public accommodations because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).
Couldn’t resist sharing a photo of Justin and Nick having coffee in bed.
