Floridabob's mention of Joe, the papasan whom he met recently and who said he'd been around for twenty years,  is one of many guys who made a living in Boyztown for decades. Who recalls "Tiger", a fixture on the periphery of the scene and who is mentioned in MIchael Burchill's history of Boyztown? A go go boy in the late eighties and still around  six or so years ago. Sadly, he passed away. And there were a couple of guys whom  I offed when I was a butterfly and who were still working in Boyztown only  a few years ago.

It is amazing how some Thai guys keep their looks.

As for Joe, yes, I know him. He was a waiter  in P's bar  in 2004,   always taking a keen interest in our developing relationship.The last time I saw him was a few years ago in a short-lived bar opposite Toyboys.  I can't recall its name....Prism? 

Boyztown has been a world unto itself since the 1980s. There are many stories that began  there, some happy such as mine, others sad, particularly during the years when Hiv was  more prevalent than it is today. And that's before we start considering the bar-owners themselves- Jim from BBB, Kevin from Throb. 

Any other Boyztown characters that deserve a mention?
