The Beer Bar

I just came accross this terrific resource which is marketed for those living in urban areas, but what a great resource for those visiting major cities for the first time. The "search data base" feature is a particulary useful tool. NFT, it's not just for residents anymore.....:-) http://notfortourists.com/newyork.aspx

Ok guys, I think that I have finally recovered enough to give you the report from San Francisco. Many of you I saw there, wow it was crazy. I arrived Friday and was slotted to leave on Sunday afternoon. I finally got myself on a plane and arrived home Wednesday. (I kept extending my trip!) Friday was a blast, we were at the Endup for the unoffical pre-party hosted by Rentboy.com Lots of boys flowing, and we finished a bottle of vodka in about an hour as my friend had a misconnect and was late getting in from the airport. That night started the ball rolling. We were drinking from morning to night and have such a good time in San Fran. The GavAVN was good, and…

Our servers were attacked by hackers and effectively destroyed. We have moved to new servers and we are restoring the site from backups. We are working as quickly as possible to bring the site back up to full effectiveness.

The past several days I have been unable to access this site. I don't believe it was a technical issue on my end of the computer. However, I have little idea what the situation was that caused the lack of access. In any event I'm happy the site is back up.

The New York Times Thais Struggle With Increasingly Violent Insurgency By SETH MYDANS PATTANI, Thailand, Feb. 22

Same-sex marriage critic in court on lewdness charge in Oklahoma The lawyer for a former Baptist church leader who had spoken out against homosexuality said Thursday the minister has a constitutional right to solicit sex from an undercover policeman. The Reverend Lonnie W. Latham had supported a resolution calling on gays and lesbians to reject their ''sinful, destructive lifestyle'' before his January 3, 2006, arrest outside the Habana Inn in Oklahoma City. Authorities say he asked the undercover policeman to come up to his hotel for oral sex. For the full story go to: http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid42264.asp

I'm sure there are those within these walls who understand how to drive Internet traffic to specific web sites. I've been researching thes web of options and still am somewhat short on understanding best practices. Currently I'm vaguely aware of three acceptable methods. 1- TGP 2- Traffic Feeders like wholesaletraffic.info 3- Direct Site Ads I've read quite a lot of information on TGP and not certain if I have enough traffic to participate, plus I don't have a TGP site of my own. Traffic Feeders remind me of the mail order list sellers of yesteryear. From my self education they tend to use pop up or under consoles and I've learned that much of these methods are n…

Cuba’s National Assembly of Popular Power has agreed to discuss making sex-reassignment surgery free of cost to all “transexuales” on the island who request it. The entire public health care system in Cuba is free of charge. Mariela Castro Espín, director of the National Center of Sexual Education (CENESEX), has led the move to make sex-reassignment available to Cubans free to all who seek it. Mariela Castro, a leader in her own right, is the daughter of renowned revolutionary leader Vilma Espín and acting Cuban President Raúl Castro. The newsletter Diversidad (Diversity) reported: “The measure would complement the present Identity Law that already acknowledges the rig…

The Stonewall Riots – also known as the Stonewall Rebellion – was perhaps the most important event ever to happen to the drag community. This was a series of events where all of our dragulous sisters stood up proud, supported each other and kicked some serious ass in defense of their rights to defend the liberty for then entire gay and lesbian community. In other words – sisters were doing it for themselves! In today’s world, gay bars and clubs are simply an accepted part of the gay community. Every city has taverns and discos that proudly sport rainbow flags and we take our rights to meet and mate for granted. But, it wasn’t always this easy. Up until the Stonewall R…

I have had many friends go to the Thailand Detoxification clinics. Every single person that went had a great experience. They lost weight, felt healthier and were very impressed with the program. I am considering one of them for a week over the summer. I think I have decided on Spa Saumi but there are tons to choose from. Just do a google search for detox and Thailand and you will find tons of places. Has anyone seen these places outside of Thailand? Brazil maybe? How about Mexico? http://www.spasamui.com/

When I saw the IPhone at the Mac Conference I was really excited to see what they were doing. Yes, I'll be one of the first ones in line to get one and test it. I know the price is high but the device looks amazing and I can't wait to try it out. I have not had an wireless plan in years and always use the SIM Pay as you plans. But, I may have to sign up with Cingular just to try this one.

The last election, I had friends who were very supportive of Dennis Kucinich. They were in NYC and a group of artist, models, escorts, etc. They were the most passionate group I had met about any candidate. They even stripped and made a photo with Kucinich bumper stickers on their backs. I sent it off to a few thousand people and they said that it spread from there. I understood their passion when I watched the guy speak. Perhaps more than most candidates, I do feel that he is honest and a straight talker. I am not sure he is a viable candidate. However, watch the link below and you will see why so many are drawn to him.

Resolved, that Richard B. Cheney, vice president of the United States, should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that these articles of impeachment be submitted to the American people GQ, March 2007 When the Founding Fathers crafted the U.S. Constitution, they wanted to be sure that the president, vice president, and other ranking officials could be evicted more easily than the British monarchy. To ensure that the process would be swift and certain, they made it simple: Only two conditions must be met. First, a majority of the House of Representatives must agree on a set of charges; then, two-thirds of the Senate must agree to convict. After that, there i…

That's the name of an unnoticed new 6-hour British miniseries showing on BBC America. I love the performances and writing. It's about vile carryings-on at pretty high levels of government here and in England, with the exotic touch of a transparently disguised ex-Soviet republic run by a brutal despot thrown in. The black hats outnumber the white overwhelmingly, and they keep as busy as bees. Interestingly, among the hissable villains are two who stand out because they are gay, they are hot kissers, they share a bed and they are nasty even to each other. I lust for them both, especially the American. I hope the writers don't cop out and show them in the end to hav…

C'mon, guys, someone out there must have the dirt on saunas in Belo Horizonte. I have posted on the South America forum and no one has responded. I'll only be there two nights and want to make the most of my stay. Dick

I was blessed to be surrounded by many friends this past weekend in Palm Springs California. Joe Buck spent all weekend at some bathouse masquerading as a gay hotel,leaving me(and a very young rooomie)to ourselves. On Saturday night I joined Luckys group at AZUL restaurant on the main drag in downtown Palm Springs.Tere were 14 of us at a long table straticaly placed right next to the mens room! Well there was a group of 4 marines who kept heading to the mens room every 15-20 min's or so-one of which was giving me a look I know all to well-from my many years of sitting on barstools at hustler bars around the world. As we were leaving I went to find this young man to g…

Like some of us need any help with this! On another board Scott Adler asked in response to one of Lucky posts " >unfortunately I had to miss his Esther >Williams act. ::shielding myself in advance from the gay card police:: Whats an Esther Williams act? I was roomie with a nice young guy this weekend-strictly platonic thank you very much!-and it made me feel so much older than my 47 years.I have always been more interested in things"before my time"and i did grow up in"interesting times"but a lot of the gay cultural references I dropped just got a blank stare or a run to the computer to see what in the hell the old queen is talking about.

Today I was checking out Craigslist.org when I ran accross this mosting from an escort. It was good advise posted on a site that needed it. Check it out... Consumer Advice from a Craigslist Escort--Tips #1-#5 - m4m Reply to: pers-280580285@craigslist.org Date: 2007-02-18, 6:39AM After reading some unsavory reviews here on Craigslist (still a GREAT site!), I feel compelled, as an escort myself, to provide some basic tips on selecting a companion for a GOOD experience.

After former NBA player, John Amaechi comes out of the closet as a gay man. Here is the reaction from another NBA player, Tim Hardaway, and that many Gay players fear. Therefore stay in the closet: http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6473866?MSNHPHCP&GT1=9131 He shouldn't apologize if he really "hates" gays but the comments that people make on a comments link are even more disturbing than his.

I do this in the spirit of performing a public service for the benefit of those who bewail the shortage of twinks in NYC. Rentboy shows two new ones, name of Mark and NewYorkCityBoy. They meet my`standard for twinkdom, but I'm an outsider. I hope they work for the cognoscenti.
