Who is excited for Bear Week in Ptown
Bear Week in Ptown
Bear Week officially starts on Saturday, July 12th and this year there seem to be more shows, parties and personalities than ever before.
While nobody should try to see or do everything – leaving Bear Week without checking out some of the fun events that are happening during this theme week would be a shame too. Here are some events I’ve noted that you might want to check out during Bear Week.
Saturday, July 12th Underwear Party at Purgatory
Sunday, July 13th Meet author, Amistead Maupin
Monday, July 14th Kiltbears Tea Dance at Boatslip
Tuesday, July 15th Beers and Bears with Brian Sims
Wednesday, July 16th Ass Wednesday at A-House ($100 prize)
Thursday, July 17th BearMania w/ Horse Meat Disco
Friday, July 18th Fireman’s Ball at Town Hall auditorium

Well Strung returns to Ptown at The Art House
For all of you who have plans to visit Provincetown this summer, I always recommend taking in a show or two. In the summer, Ptown becomes like a gay little Las Vegas with more shows on any given night than many cities more than ten times its size. A perennial favorite is Well Strung who are performing again at the Provincetown Art House through September 20th.
4th of July celebrations in Provincetown
Sergio and I will be in Boston for this year’s 4th of July celebrations, but here is a quick look back at all the fun in Provincetown at last year’s 4th of July Week.
Ptown connections
Seth Fornea at Boatslip in Ptown July 4, 2013
Ptown is such a fun place. One never knows who you’ll bump into when you are there. An old friend you’ve not seen in years (or perhaps you didn’t even know was gay), a new boyfriend in the making (more than a few romances have started in this tiny town), and of course handsome, gay actors, models, etc…
Armistead Maupin at The Crown & Anchor Bear Week
Armistead Maupin will be returning to Provincetown during Bear Week this year. He’ll be reading from his latest work and sharing anecdotes and insights at The Crown & Anchor Sunday, July 13th.
I love this photo of Sergio hanging with Armistead at the Crown & Anchor back in 2012. He is a very friendly and approachable guy.

2014 Ptown Independence Parties
Provincetown is about to get real crowded as tens of thousands of men visit for the Independence Week parties starting on Saturday, June 28th. The entire town will be filled to capacity but don’t be deterred. Be sure to check out the Boatslip’s massive tea dance each day, visit some of the clubs like the Atlantic House (A-House) and certainly catch a show while you visit.
Also be sure to visit The Crown & Anchor which will host to some great parties and consider getting tickets party promoter Chris Harris’ events. For details about the parties at The Crown & Anchor or to purchase their party passes visit their website, onlyatthecrown.com/independence.
Here are photos I snapped from July 4th week in 2013 in Ptown.
Brian Sims hosting “Bears and Beers” mixer during Bear Week
The ever so dreamy PA State Representative, Brian Sims, who I first wrote about back in 2012 (as one of my Men of Twittah) and more recently wrote about in my post, Lusting After Brian Sims, will be in Provincetown during Bear Week hosting a fundraiser for his campaign.
Lord knows I’ve spent a significant amount of time scouring the internet for a shirtless photograph of this handsome, progressive, gay state representative. Since I won’t be in Ptown during bear week, I’m encouraging anyone who might be there to be on the look out for this handsome Pennsylvanian sunning himself.

MUST SEE: The Golden Gals at the Art House in Ptown this summer
Varla Jean Merman and Ryan Landry are teaming up again this summer in Provincetown in a new show at The Art House called The Golden Gals.
The show will play Thursday thru Saturday at 7:30PM, from June 5th thru August 30th.
Sign me up. I’m there and if you are visiting Provincetown you’d be a fool to miss this. Dorothy is played by Ryan Landry, her mother Sophia is played by Connie Tavanis, Blanche the oversexed southern belle is played by (who else?) Varla Jean Merman, and their clueless cohabitant Rose is played by Brooklyn Shaffer. I can hardly wait to see this show.

New England summah: Ptown and Ogunquit
SOURCE: Photo of Officer Jeff by Dan McKeon, Provinceown, MA
Spring came to New England late this year and will be over in just a couple of weeks when we celebrate Memorial Day Weekend. In the span of the next two weeks nearly every commencement ceremony in Boston will have taken place; Harvard isn’t til May 29.
Aside from the college students skipping town, Bostonians will head for the coast each weekend. While guys go everywhere, most of the LGBT community looks to Provincetown, MA and or Ogunquit, ME.
Sergio and I have plans to visit both this summer and I’m looking forward to what other spur of the moment trips to the coast manifest.
MacMillan Wharf Provincetown
Be sure to let me know about any parties or large events happening in Provincetown and Ogunquit. I’ll be happy to do my best to help spread the word. Additionally if you are coming to the region and have questions on places to stay, where to go, etc… feel free to reach out to me and I’ll be happy to be your “gay” concierge. Look for more posts about Provincetown and Ogunquit in the coming weeks.
Ptown Fast Ferry Groupon from BHC
Planning a trip to Provincetown this summer, or perhaps you live in Boston and know you will be making multiple trips to Ptown? Regardless, The Boston Harbor Cruise Co. (one of the two high speed ferry companies here in Boston) has their annual GroupOn running at the moment. Grab them while they last – this deal sells out every year.
Independence week in Ptown
Last week I mentioned that Liza Minnelli and Alan Cumming will be performing in Provincetown in August, but this week I want to remind you that in just a few more months the first major theme week of 2014 will kick off in Provincetown.
Are you planning to head down to Provincetown for the Independence Week parties? For those of you not familiar with Ptown or if you’ve never been during the week of the 4th of July check out this teaser from the Crown & Anchor.
