Full tilt summer here right now. Carnival begins next week and the drag will be flying. Bea Arthor in town to perform as well as Ellen Green from Little Shop Of Horrors. Also Margeret Cho at The Vixen. So many tourists the town could flip over at any moment. Missing all of you in Manhattan and hoping to come visit after Labor Day. I hear Bonnie is on her way up the coast, I hope she leaves her nasty attitude at home. This town has posted her picture in the Post Office and asked that the...

Gorgeous. Say hi to Gens and tell him we'll be up this summer with the new puppy. He's got alot of Gennaro in him. When Chi Chi put down his first puppy pee pad instead of peeing on it he picked it up and paraded it back and forth through the living room. (Did I mention that he sleeps under a picture of his Uncle Gennaro?) Say Hi to Max. How is "Baby Noodles'" baby? And please give Big Daddy a big one for me too.

Hi Bobby darling, Happy New World Disorder 2005! Apropos of fighting against the machine, I just saw the East Village Art Show at the Chelsea Museum -- so major! It could have been ten times bigger... Paintings that are so fervent and wild. David Wojnarowicz's "Death of American Spirituality" is one of the most terrifying paintings seen in a long time. Overarching the experience is the apocalyptic drone of Sonic Youth from the video room. Sue Coe's "Car Hookers" is incredible as is David...

Though I liked a lot of the art at the New Museum show it was not actually about the art. As much as I liked the kooky dancing bee video for its low-budget, tres gay, faux MTV production value, Klaus Noami's video (with sound so lamentably under-amped), the Jack Smith AMAZING 1962 film -the show is about the scene and the people and not really about the art at all!

Oh, that is a beautiful question. I am STILL charmed. When I walk out of my East Village building near Avenue C and the first thing I hear from way up the block on a rainy early morning is the voice of Miguel Algarin, founder (along with Miguel Pinero and several others) of the still-in-existence Nuyorican Poets Cafe, as he sings a poem for no other reason than to greet the day, bounce sound off the buildings, and maybe, spark me to dance up the street into his embrace.

This is going to sound so very trite, but I think that having a dog makes me a better person. I certainly learned a thing or two about having to think about something (or someone) else's welfare.

Sweetie, firstly I am so sorry that your beautiful boy had to go through that, and was curious - what was the owner's reaction and is that dog still allowed in the run? Im not a genius at dog behavior, but would suggest the following. Dogs are very place-conscious, and perhaps if you took him to another nearby run for short visits he might not have the same reaction. I would of course suggest weekdays as weekends are stressful due to overcrowding. To avoid interaction with another vicious...

It is definitely true the sex possibilities were more varied, seven.

Therefore, in Riverdale, where I grew up there was a park-- Van Cortlandt Park, one of the largest and wildest (terrain-wise) in the City. Along the western side ran Broadway, which at that point was more like a six lane highway than the commercial street we are familiar with downtown. This...

He ambushed me at Cabaret Magique, when it was at Boys Room on A, and shoved some snaps at me. Ambitious and on it. HX is militant without even trying to be.
