Meeting poeple in Boston through LGBT social groups
Last year at this time I shared a post featuring different LGBT groups you can join as a way to get out and meet people. I wanted to share the links again to encourage anyone looking to meet people or simply get out of the house.

Word of the day: VPL
Today’s vocabulary word is actually an acronym, VPL.

6th Annual Summer Sports Tea Dance today 4-8PM
Check out dbar in Dorchester later today. They will be hosting the 6th Annual Summer Sports TeaDance from 4-8PM.
Stop by the registration table at the Tea Dance wearing your favorite sports gear and best wig to be part of a photo contest. For those who are interested they will snap a glamour shot and post it in the #WigFun4Victory photo album on Facebook. Encourage your friends to vote for you by liking the photo. Contest winners will be announced on Monday, September 12 and the three photos with the most likes will win prizes.
All proceeds from the event will benefit Victory Programs and the 2,300 men, women and children we provide hope, health and housing for each year.
Men and coffee
This is for all of you who like strong coffee.
Saturday morning coffee
Much thanks to Julian for this week’s Saturday morning coffee post.
Word of the day: Smooth
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Smooth
Smooth (/smo͞oT͟H/adjective)
Definition: Indicates a gay man who is hairless or shaves his body hair..
Example: You never see smooth guys in Ptown during bear week.
Men and their coffee
If you want to improve your understanding, drink coffee; it is the intelligent beverage. – Sydney Smith
Word of the day: Cut
I like to think of my blog as an important, educational site that can help you expand your vocabulary. Today’s vocabulary word is Cut.
Cut (/kət/noun)
Definition: A man who is circumcised.
Example: Using the term ‘cut’ provides a more accurate description of what many Americans do to male genitalia than the more clinical term ‘circumcised’.
Gay Men Camping group
I love Meetup.com, it is a great way to help people connect in a city like Boston where it can be hard to meet people with similar interests. Although I am most definitely not a camper, Meetup.com had suggested this Gay Men’s group and I thought I’d share for all of you who like to commune with nature.
The group has a camping trip scheduled for later this month in Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, MA on Friday, August 26th. If you cannot make that date, be sure to like the group (see the link below) to get updates on future trips.
The group is described as “New England Gay Men Camping is a social outdoor adventure group for gay men only. For all active gay male singles, couples and friends who appreciate nature, love hiking, enjoy backpacking, have a passion for exploring and can do without wi-fi and a blow dryer for a weekend. In some cases, no electricity or water. Can you handle it?”
While I don’t need a blow dryer, the idea of no electricity makes me queasy but I’m betting there are a few of you who may like this and want to check it out.
Meanwhile at M Street Beach this week
Loving this Instagram clip from M Street Beach this past weekend. I couldn’t seem to post the video successfully so you can link here to see it.
In case you missed it, each Saturday a lot of guys are spending their Saturdays near the midpoint of M Street Beach. Between the throngs of bros and the women they are vainly trying to impress is a sea of gays that is most easily found by following the disco music.
Sound like fun? Read more about Saturdays at M Street Beach, Boston.
Pokemon Go Party tonight at Peggy O’Neil’s
So Hot Saturday heats up with a Pokemon Go Party is happening in Dorchester at Peggy O’Neil’s at 1312 Dorchester Ave in the Savin Hill gayborhood. For more information check out their Facebook event page here.

Gay Vermont: Rock River Preservation
Source: Frog Meadow B&B
With Provincetown, Ogunquit, Newport and the islands it is easy to forget about Vermont as a gay-friendly summer destination where you and someone special or a group of friends can get away and forget about life for a few days.
Gay travelers have been heading to Southern Vermont’s swimming holes at Rock River to enjoy the natural beauty and serenity that comes from spending time in the Green Mountain State. While there are several gay friendly B&Bs in the area Frog Meadow Country B&B owned by Dave & Scott looks like it might be a fun place to base a trip if you are not into camping.
Sergio and I have put this destination on our list of places to check out since neither of us have visited before. Have you visited Rock River or Frog Meadow B&B? Please share any tips in the comments section.
