SpeakEasy Stage presents Bootycandy

Posted on March 13, 2016 | Leave a comment

SpeakEasy Stage, Boston Theater, Gay TheaterPerhaps the title of Terry Byrne’s Boston Globe article sums up the SpeakEasy Stage latest production best, ‘Bootycandy’ a comedic scrapbook of growing up black and gay.

If you had not heard, the New England premiere of Bootycandy opened this weekend and runs through Saturday, April 9th. The play is described as a shockingly funny and saucy spin on race, sex, and sexuality, and it was inspired by the author’s own experiences growing up black and gay. I look forward to seeing this play later this week and hope that many of you will come out to support this local production, which speaks directly to the LGBT community. The best way to encourage more LGBT themed theater productions is to come and see them when they are produced.

Bootycandy Information and Tickets Here 

If you don’t want to go alone The Welcoming Committee is planning to attend en masse on Wednesday, March 30th. More information about TWC event is available here.

Breakfast at The Friendly Toast, Back Bay

Posted on March 12, 2016 | Leave a comment

Friendly Toast Back Bay BostonIn mid January The Friendly Toast opened their third location in the Back Bay. The Friendly Toast opened a second location in Kendall Square a few years back not long after the original owners sold both locations to Eric Goodwin and Scott Pulver in October 2013. At the time, the new owners said they planned to open new restaurants in other locations under the Friendly Toast name.  The Friendly Toast Back Bay is the first of these other locations to open.

Located on Stanhope Street, the restaurant opens early on the weekends at 8AM and weekdays at 7AM. The kitschy decor associated with The Friendly Toast is in full effect here with formica tables packed close together and barely a square foot of empty wall space.

Friendly Toast Back Bay Huevos Rancheros $11.50

Friendly Toast Back Bay Huevos Rancheros $11.50

The menu includes a lot of decadent treats from the “Sweet Stuff” section of their menu like, Coconut Cakes made with shredded coconut and chocolate chips drizzled with coconut sauce and topped with crushed pecans; and the Caribbean Waffles that is topped with caramelized bananas and crushed pecans. Healthier options are available in their “Fit and Friendly” section of the menu but this isn’t really the place to come for healthy eating.

Sergio and I focused on some more traditional options for breakfast. My order of Huevos Rancheros (shown above) came with two poached eggs buried under a small mountain of melted cheddar, avocado and fresh salsa and resting on thick anadama bread.

The Friendly Toast Back Bay Breakfast Sandwich $10.00

Friendly Toast Back Bay Breakfast Sandwich $10.00

Sergio surprised me by forgoing his usual French Toast and getting a breakfast sandwich, which unfortunately didn’t photograph very well.  Both breakfasts were best described as mezza mezza. Based on my experience, I would suggest The Friendly Toast is probably best for those with families looking for large portions and good price points. For me, the one time visit is sufficient to check it off the list, but I do wish the location much luck and future success.

Note that the early opening time and affordable price points makes this a favorite destination for families.

Love at first sight

Posted on March 10, 2016 | Leave a comment

Love at first sightA few years ago I posted this Youtube video entitled, Love At First Sight.  I forgot about it until my brother asked for it again. The nearly three minute voice message left by an intoxicated and overly excited woman convinced she has just met her soulmate is filled with cringe-worthy comments like:

“Call me, email me, IM me, fax me, page me…”
“And we both have the same interest in yo-yo’s.”
“I know you said you had to leave urgently. I hope that everything’s okay.”

I want to 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? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
