It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at



Everyday I read blogs & online posts about New York changing...for better or worse, yunnies, (so called) hipsters, it was better when...etc, etc, etc...Anyway, I'm sort of sick of thinking about it. There are no real answers for me except for me to know where I'm at personally and trying to be alright with that. That can be difficult enough at times.

Quite by accident, I came across the following quote from a recent Steve Lewis column, and taking it out of context, it seems to sum up a lot of my feelings about many things these days..."That’s the difference between now and then. Now everything seems to be expected, while back then you could walk into your familiar club and it would be transformed into a pimp’s playhouse or undersea garden. We were kept on our toes while seeking someone to get on their knees."

Also, see Steve's article on the five best clubs ever in the history of the world, anywhere...well, New York City anyway. He admittedly forgot a couple...

Jim Fouratt on the Colbert Report

Just in case you missed it, or don't feel like watching the entire episode over at ComedyCentral.com (although you should - lots of funny gay jokes), here is Jim Fouratt's appearance for last night's Colbert Report. I'm proud to say I know him...

Jim Fouratt on Colbert tonight!

Congratulations to Jim Fouratt are in order as he'll be the guest on the Colbert Report tonight at 11:30 PM EST on Comedy Central. For many years, Jim has been extremely active on the front for the fight for gay rights, as well as working in the music business. To put it mildly, the New York club scene of the 70's & 80's would not have been the same without him. Neither would gay civil rights. You can read about his activist history here. You can also read a more general history on his myspace page.
