or Thoughts from a Gay Marketer

030307

I saw the opening of BOYS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN last night at the Actors Playhouse.  Full disclosure - I work on the show.  I dont have to say this here (blogs are about honesty, right?), but it is a really cute show.  There were at least 3 hotties on stage that I would totally love to date, and about 40 in the audience.  Why do gay plays get such a cute audience???  Hot!  Met lots of celebritites (gay and straight - seems the author works in TV and lots of his colleagues showed to support), and totally made an ass out of myself for not recognising one.  I was talking to him and and said - what do you do??  He said - I am the anchor of Channel --'s morning news.  Foot in mouth!  i should flip the channels and not just stick to the Today Show.  Anyway - cute show - check it out. 

My obsession with Target and Costco continues as I make my monthly excursion today.  Hope to find some nifty items.  Looking for a hammock for the Jeffersonville house.  Anyone else up in Sullivan County?  That place is over run with cute gays out for their weekends.  Nice views all around!

I have been a Baaaaad boy!  Too much travelling (Vegas 2x, London, Gay Cruise, LA) and no time spent on this blog.  I am sure you have found other gay-fabulous readings to occupy your time, but here are some things you might want to check out.

“Rock Bottom” Opens NYC's QUAD Cinema March 2 nd

 

“A startling, sobering look at Crystal Meth addiction.”

- The Advocate

 

“Startling…captures the vicious cycle of use, sobriety and relapse.”

- Sean Bugg, Metroweekly , DC

 

“Rock Bottom – Gay Men & Meth” will have its theatrical premiere at NYC's Quad Cinema beginning March 2nd . The filmmakers will be present for the 7:40 pm screenings Friday and Saturday and Sunday of opening weekend.

 

The Filmmakers are pleased to announce the award-winning cult classic short-subject “ Karen Black Like Me ” will play before “Rock Bottom.” Writer/Director David Brigg's camp send-up of “Trilogy of Terror” features Ira Rosenberg and the wonderful Anita Gillette (Moonstruck, Boys on the Side).

 

About “Rock Bottom – Gay Men & Meth”

Rock Bottom follows the journeys of seven gay men struggling with meth addiction and recovery against a backdrop of an emerging second wave of HIV infection.  From grappling with the drug's effects on their physical and mental health to restling with their darkest sexual desires, Rock Bottom delivers a chilling portrait of a community in crisis.  With an unflinching eye the film captures their stories over a two-year period, from sex clubs to hospitals to family gatherings.  It takes enormous courage to face these demons, and even more to allow the world to watch.

 

For anyone struggling with meth addiction, or anyone trying to help someone in trouble, Rock Bottom will offer hope that change can happen, and insight into how change begins.  For nyone thinking they can play with meth and not get caught up, the film will be a cautionary tale of how wrong they might be .

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I had such am amazing time at the Times Square Alliance VIP party!  What a thrill to be right there in the middle of Times Square, amidst all of the hub-bub and excitement, meeting new friends (Javier and David - two news industry guys who met on a commuter train ...I love those odd love stories of fate. It was pretty clear that they were meant for each other.  Anyhooo I think we are going to be good friends).  I went to the party with Thierry, Gunner and Andrew.  See if you can tell who is who from my party pics.

 

Anyway, I have some resolutions for yall.

1) I desire to keep my blog up to date.  At least one entry per week, hopefully more.

2) I desire to make it to the gym far more often.  I tried to go this am, but i had a great excuse at the time.

3) I desire to not get so addicted to my Treo and not to checking my work email more than twice after I leave work. 

4) I am sure I have more resolutions, but they all boil down to being a good boy often and taking the time to have more fun.  Who want's to join me??

i saw Grey Gardens tonight.  Loved it, but Ms. Ebersol was not on.  I don't know if she was on vacation or just taking the night off to watch a law and order marathon, but the understudy was very very good.  And MATT CAVANAUGH is still the hottest young male heartthrob on Broadway.  I fell in lust with him when I saw his 10-pak starring in Urban Cowboy.  He does not take his shirt off in Grey Gardens (sniff sniff), but he is still damn sexy.

WE'RE DREAMING OF A BEIGE CHRISTMAS

(OR CHANUKAH OR . . . )

JOIN CHAD ALLEN AND ROBERT GANT FOR A “PRE- BEIGE” HOLIDAY PARTY

Please join us this Tuesday Dec 5 from 9 to 11pm for a Holiday Party at B Bar (40 East Fourth Street). Chad Allen (“Shock to the System”, “Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman”) and Robert Gant (“Queer as Folk”) will be among your hosts and a collection will be taken at the event (bring your checkbooks!) to benefit SoulforceNYC and the Equality Ride II.

Last year, 33 Soulforce Equality Riders traveled from coast to coast on a seven-week bus tour to confront colleges that ban the enrollment of LGBT students. This year, Equality Ride II, will take two buses across the Deep South along separate routes – visiting twice the number of schools, touching twice as many lives, and empowering twice as many students. Please RSVP ASAP to Soulforcenyc@aol.com . HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

HAPPY RETIREMENT BRIAN

Being the lucky gay boy that I am, I was fortunate to be invited to Brian Landeche's (the hot blond owner of Splash) retirement party at the Rainbow Room.  The event was awash in gay fabulousness and celebs.  Brian was an amazing businessman and created a space with international appeal - a place where many a friend was made and relationship started.  Of course, there were lots of hot cocktail servers in next to nothing (hubba hubba). 

 

NOVEMBER A BIG MONTH - 4 events

We are promoting 4 events this month, so no excuses for being a wall-flower.  Lots of chances to come on out.  Here they are:

  • Nov 1 - Chelsea Connex at Splash
  • Nov 13 - Private GAY shopping night at Foremost Furniture
  • Nov 18 & 19 - Big Gay LIfe Expo at the Javits Center
  • Nov 29 - Times Square Social at Club T (the space was amazing wasnt it?)

 

Big Celebs at TIMES SQUARE SOCIAL

The last few Times Square Social events have super swamped with Celebs.   Amy Sedaris was amazing, and god knows she loves her gays.   The last event had Gov McGreevey and his handsome Australian BF.   Both were sweet and posed for all sorts of pics with the partygoers.  Then, when 9pm arrived, it was like a mass exodus to make it home in time for the season finale of Project Runway.  What were we thinking?  Daring to hold our event on the evening of the Gay Superbowl!
