Madonna Like A Prayer
I can’t believe it was 27 years ago today that Madonna’s video for Like A Prayer was released by Sire Records. I can still smell the patchouli infused glued wrapper. In addition to Like A Prayer, I would become obsessed with Express Yourself, Cherish and the unreleased, Act of Contrition.

I’m toying with making this a weekly post. Let me know your thoughts.
I want to dedicate this and future posts, featuring vintage gay photos, 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.
These guys want to show you their Full Monty

The Wellesley Players go for The Full Monty with their take on the hit Broadway musical comedy inspired by the Oscar-nominated film. The Full Monty was nominated for a whopping 10 Tony Awards in 2001, including Best Musical, and now this touching, funny and crowd-pleasing show can be enjoyed at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown.
The Wellesley Players production of The Full Monty only has three shows, starting this weekend Friday and Saturday, March 4th and 5th at 8PM and one matinee showing on Sunday, March 6th at 2PM. Tickets are normally $28.00 but follow the link below for discounted seats that start at just $14.00.
Boston gay men’s book club picks Hawthorn & Child
Boston’s monthly book club, featuring literature by and about gay men has selected Hawthorn and Child by Keith Ridgway for this month’s book. All are welcome to the monthly get together on Monday, March 21st at 7:00 PM at the Trident Booksellers and Cafe on Newbury Street in the Back Bay.

More information and to RSVP
About Hawthorn and Child: Hawthorn and his partner, Child, are called to the scene of a mysterious shooting in North London. The only witness is unreliable, the clues are scarce, and the victim, a young man who lives nearby, swears he was shot by a ghost car. While Hawthorn battles with fatigue and strange dreams, the crime and the narrative slip from his grasp and the stories of other Londoners take over.
If you’d like to read the book I’d like to encourage you to consider purchasing it from one of Boston’s independent booksellers.

Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.

Gold Dust Orphans to present Legally Blind
Gold Dust orphans present Legally Blind
April 21 – May 22, 2016
This spring, Ryan Landry’s troupe of misfits will perform their newest production, Legally Blind, in Boston from April 21 – May 22nd and while nothing is confirmed, the Orphan’s spring show in Boston usually goes on to Provincetown in the summer so if you cannot make it to Boston, keep an eye out for this show, should you plan to visit Ptown this summer.
I’ll have more details about the show and tickets as they come available.
South End Open Market starts May 1
Last week the South End Open Market released a long list of participating food trucks for their upcoming season which starts in just eight weeks on Sunday, May 1, 2016. Look for the Food Trucks to assemble alongside the Arts and Farmer’s Markets in the Ming’s Market parking lot between Harrison Ave and Washington Street (official address is 375 Harrison Avenue).
If taking the T, the location is easily accessible from the East Berkeley Silver Line stop and just a 5 minute walk from the Orange line Tufts NE Medical Center stop or the Red line Broadway station. For more information about this year’s South End Open Market visit their website newenglandopenmarkets.com/southend.
Temptation Tuesday
Adding a little Marvel Comics inspired temptation into this week’s post.
It’s Supah Tuesday, go vote
One of the very few remaining civic duties is voting. If you are a registered voter and you live in one of the following states listed below, you owe it to yourself and your community to vote.
I don’t care if you vote for a candidate I support or someone I detest. For more than two centuries men and women have fought to preserve this right; you do their memory and their sacrifice a disservice when you walk away and choose not to participate in the election process.
Off to Austin, Texas
Work will bring me to Texas next week so I decided to use the opportunity to fly out later this week to visit a good friend who lives in Austin before I have to go to Dallas. Unfortunately, Sergio won’t be able to join me while I am visiting Laura and Brian, but I will be joining a former college roommate and friend who will also be in Austin visiting at the same time.
October 2009 – Austin, Texas
I’ve visited Austin, TX a handful of times since that first visit in October 2009 and always have fun. The tiny city has grown significantly in the seven years since I first visited but it retains a quirky charm that distinguishes itself from the rest of the state. The city’s obsession with large cows which are the University of Texas mascot is puzzling but they can make for fun pieces of public art. 
Whenever I visit Austin, I stay with my friends in a leafy neighborhood of Austin called Westlake that is really just a well situated suburb. I’m sure we will get out for a night or two but most of our time will be spent relaxing at my friend’s beautiful home; maybe poolside if it is warm enough.
