The Beer Bar

I started musing about this in another thread and thought it interesting enough by itself to seek the views of others. Your opinion (and mine) on the most gay friendly place in: the US, (South Beach) North America, (Montreal) Europe, (Amsterdam) Latin America, (Rio?) Asia, (Pattaya) the World. (Thailand?)

I want to rent a full time place in Sao Paulo. I have had great difficulty in finding anything online before my next trip. Craig's List sucks for Sao Paulo and very few places are offered. Does anyone know of any sites that have apartments for long term rental?

Recently received: I wrote an extensive review of the time that I spent with xxx on mm/dd/yy/. I wrote this two days ago. Why is it taking a while to be printed here? Thanks, yyyy. I'm not quite sure how to respond to this. Maybe a 'Breaking News' column for escort reviews?

Patrick first came onto the scene in Miss Saigon in a tour group. I remember it as one of my favorite musicals ever. I saw it at least 20 times. Not quite as many times as Les Mis or Rent but close. I first remember him in The Full Monty and how sexy he was. I had an instant crush. I was lucky enough to score some 2nd row tickets to the Tony Awards when The Full Monty did a short song as part of the night. The last part of the song was when they all got naked and the lights go off. Well, sitting second row, I was able to have the back lights light up what we were not supposed to see. My friend and I both opened out mouths with awe. Linda Lavin turned to us and sa…

Rosie is doing a variety show on Nov. 26th on NBC. It is rumored that if successful, it may turn into a regular series. Having watched her over the years, I have always enjoyed her spirit. On her talk show, she was funny, witting and engaging. On The View, she kept the ratings up by always speaking her mind. Thanks to her and Ellen, daytime has many people not only listening to gays but adoring them. In my opinion, they have helped the cause of gays tremendously. I have heard that Rosie is a pain in the ass to work with, but hey, I guess you can't have all good things said all the time.

I still remember when the word AIDS was first mentioned on television and when Ronald Regan first uttered the words on tv. That was a long time ago and medicine to treat those with HIV have come a long way. Studies are being done all over the world to find the cause and to find a cure. The more we know the better grasp we will have to find a way to cure this disease. NEW YORK (AP) -- The AIDS virus has been circulating among people for about 100 years, decades longer than scientists had thought, a new study suggests. Genetic analysis pushes the estimated origin of HIV back to between 1884 and 1924, with a more focused estimate at 1908. Previously, scientists had e…

I have lots of programs I use all the time. Itunes, Skype, Firefox are part of my daily routine. But, if I had to pick a favorite program that I really enjoy to use it would be Delicious Library. It allows me to hold a book, or anything with a bar code, to to my web cam and it scans the code in, analysis', it and then adds that to my library with a full photo cover, cost buy new and current retail value. It is a great way for me to keep up with the books I read, movies I buy and games I get the Boyfriend. What is your favorite program?

Matty is one hot MF. Dan is also hot. Ken as I like Asian boys but don't think he stands a chance. The first 2 are voted out and gone. Who will win? It is really way to early to tell, but I am hoping for Matty. Can he stay cool?

I've never seen so many promos for a returning series as for this one, all of them elaborately produced. As everybody knows by now, the show's premise is a bit dark. But it's a great favorite of mine, as is the to my mind red-hot Michael C. Hall. Great actor too. http://www.tv.com/photos/viewer.html?type=...8&tag=photo

Well, for me I like them average but: We are remaking the MER site and we want to know what screen size most of you want. It was suggested that we make it larger but any suggestions? This is the first step in the site design as the entire site will be based on this. Your advice and comments are appreciated.

I got this letter from cyberpimp regarding the German event of Hustlaball. I have known Jeff for many years and hope that whatever disputes they are in with Tom are resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Tom threw many amazing parties before he retired and Jeff threw a fabulous event in Las Vegas last year and I am sure the one in NYC will be great as well. Lets come out and support him for these great events and hope that they are able to resolve their disputes amicably. Dear friend of the Hustlaball: You may have recently received a vaguely threatening and intimidating email from Mr. Tom Weise regarding “marketplace confusionâ€� relating to certain upcoming Hustla…

I have subscribed to the new season on Itunes (my only way to get them as I don't live in USA). The new season is going to be five years in advance. I am so excited about this show and it is my favorite show in the world now that Sex and the City is gone.

At the risk of being banned, I just can't resist... Martha Stewart Likes Big Wieners The always primp and proper Martha Stewart dedicated an entire episode of her daytime show this week to everything Hot Dog related. The Martha Stewart Show featured all kinds of hot dogs and toppings. They even had a special 15-foot hot dog created by Empire National in Brooklyn that was hand delivered to Martha's studio. And showing you can never be too proper, Ms. Stewart added, "For those of you who don't think length matters, I disagree – especially when it comes to wieners." How saucy, Martha! "There's just never enough bites in a hot dog," she added. http://perezhilton.c…

On the verge of my first marathon, I find myself excited, scared, exhilarated and depressed all at the same time. First, I am not really sure what someone my age is doing running his first marathon. It seemed like such an impossible task when I first thought about the idea. To run 26 miles on one day just seemed like something only a lunatic could do. The more I thought about it, the closer I started looking at races and which one would suit me the best. I picked a race and a city and started getting ready for it. Instead of loosing weight, I have gained weight on this journey. I am not sure if I am eating more or I am just not concentrating on the workouts the w…

So, how dumb do you have to be to blow off a talk show host who has a bully pullet he can use five nights a week until the election? And, how long until dave stops pummeling McCain every night?

It looks like we're wasting our time trying to forecast the weather unless we go to the wasps and squirrels. http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/a...8090903091.html

I will be there-hope to see lots of MERmen there as well http://partywithbrandon.blogspot.com/2008/...ers-friday.html

In principle, I don't care if I never see another vampire show again. In the case of this one, what matters are the scenes featuring Ryan with his clothes off. There are lots of them. There's more beefcake besides him. I wonder if the show is really about vampires. http://justbeautifulmen.blogspot.com/2008/...t=1215144720000

According to the Times, there will be a re-make of the Lone Ranger, of all things. In keeping with modern tastes, maybe he and Tonto will mix it up a little. On a completely different note, has anybody clued Johnny Depp into the various translations of "kemo sabey"? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/arts/26a...amp;oref=slogin
