Tweet of the day: David Bullock

Posted on July 17, 2013 | 2 comments

Trayvon MartinDavid Bullock or @AlaskasVeryOwn (on Twittah) sent out a Tweet today that really placed a lump in my throat.  Earlier in the day I had posted this video created by Howard University alumni and students, because I thought it went a long way to challenging people’s perceptions, but my corresponding Facebook post resulted in people arguing about the verdict rather than coming together.

Bravo to David for imaging a world I think we’d all like to live in. I’m thoroughly disheartened by the Trayvon Martin verdict and the racially charged dialog that has ensued. I don’t like how violent our society is, I can’t understand why we have “stand your ground” laws, and I’m frustrated that many feel a young guy dressed in a hoodie is perceived as suspicious.

But mostly I can’t help but admire David Bullock’s Tweet and agree 100%.

Bear lingo

Posted on July 16, 2013 | 2 comments

BosGuyTwo weeks ago Provincetown was overrun with guys who self identified as a Twink, Boi, etc… Now Bear Week in Ptown brings a whole new group of guys.  Not up on your gay slang? Never fear, that is why I describe my blog as “educational”.

Cub – a younger (or younger-looking) version of a Bear, typically, but not always, with a smaller frame.
Otter – A slimmer or less hairy Bear regardless of age.
Muscle bear – A Bear whose size derives from muscle rather than body fat.
Panda – A Bear of Asian heritage.
Polar bear – An older Bear whose facial and body hair is predominantly or entirely white or grey.

Restaurant review: Pepe’s Wharf

Posted on July 16, 2013 | Leave a comment

MiroPepe’s Wharf is located in the East End of Provincetown just off of Commercial Street. The restaurant has been around for four decades and consistently serves good food with a beautiful view of MacMillan Wharf and Provincetown harbor.

I like Pepe’s for three reasons: the view, the food is consistent and our friend Miro (shown above) works as a host at Pepe’s this summer so its a good excuse to say hello.

Pepe’s menu is divided into soups, salads and appetizers that range in price from $8 to $24 — most of the more expensive options are if you add lobster. The remainder of the menu is divided between burgers and sandwiches that range $10 to $21 and main plates that range from $17 to $32.

Pepes Wharf DinnerMy advice when dining at Pepe’s is to stick to the burgers and sandwiches.  The food is filling and satisfying – but it is the view that I appreciate most.  Dinner reservations are strongly recommended and if you stop by, be sure to tell Miro that I say hello.

Manhunt Mansion pool party photos

Posted on July 15, 2013 | 4 comments

Manhunt Pool PartyThis past Saturday a couple hundred guys shuffled out to Brookline, MA for a pool party at the Manhunt Mansion to benefit the Boston Blizzard Softball team.

Jim Clerkin “Gay Jim”, Producer for the Matty in the Morning Show on KISS 108FM ensured a steady stream of good music was always on and some of the staff from Boston Chops kept the cold beverages flowing and manned the grill – making burgers, dogs and chicken for anyone hungry.

Below are some photos from the pool party. Thank you to everyone who came out to help The Boston Blizzard. Manhunt Pool Party
