June 2, 201412 yr Active Members Several of the regulars here are nostalgic about the good old days of New York, so I thought y'all might enjoy checking out the work of Patrick Angus, a painter who documented NYC's gay demi-monde back in the day. The sedate piano bars, brassy dance clubs and the oh so private dinner parties in Park Avenue co-ops of the up-scale Gay scene held no interest for Angus. His was the world of the bath house, the strip club and the hustler bar. I'm betting that at least a few of our frequent posters will recognize some of the locations depicted in his paintings. Maybe it would also be worthwhile to say that some of his work can be viewed at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay Art, located a couple of blocks off Broadway. There are a couple of others that just have to be scenes from Stella's (or some other locale very much like it) but I haven't been able to find them to add to this post. I'll tack them on later, if I run across them. ==== Motherfuckinggoddamned soft ware for the board does this to me every time I try to post multiple pics in the same post. It tells me I'm "not allowed to use that extension (or some such) here but doesn't tell me which image it's talking about so the only thing I can do is delete one image at a time until it lets me post. God damn that's frustrating!!! Where is lookin when I need him? OZ, is this something your slaves in India can fix? I don't mind so much that I can't post some image but the damned shit software could at least have the courtesy to tell me which one is causing the problem...@%%!!*+**$@! Hell, here is a link to some of Angus's painting. I guess y'all will just have to sort through them for yourselves.
