All I know about tennis is grunting people with rackets try to get a fuzzy yellow ball over a net until someone hits the net or the ball goes over the white line, then the court-side lifeguard in the tall chair tells you who won. I know historic players like Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean…
Chip Pons’ new book, “Dearly Departed” is shadows and spice and everything nice. A tale as old as time, Levi the small-town florist meet cutes and falls in love with local mysterious funeral director Hayden. It’s obviously a fairy tale because who ever heard of gay funeral directors and florists…oh also, Hayden is actually mythical…
I’m not a murder mystery sort of gay and don’t like working hard when it comes to my entertainment, please don’t make me figure out who did it. If I’m thinking that hard, I better be getting paid. Hell, even at my job, I only pretend to think that hard. However, “The Disaster Gay Detective…
Beverly Hills 90210 was my go-to show in the 90’s, even now, give me a teen drama any time. If I wasn’t home to watch that week’s episode, I sure as hell had my VCR (yes, I’m that old) set. It holds a special place in my heart because it’s the first show that my sister and…
Tuesday Felicia Day’s new graphic novel, “The Lost Daughter Of Sparta,” hit stores and she kicked off her book tour at An Unlikely Story in Plainville, MA. An Unlikely Story was a great choice because it’s a quaint little bookshop in the middle of nowhere and who doesn’t love supporting indie businesses. Felicia was in…
Back in August, this story of gratitude, luck and being at the right place at the right time began. I was on my phone at work (what else does one do at work?) when I saw Annie Lennox tickets just went on sale for her two October nights in New York City discussing and signing…
Hi, I’m Dave and I’m a Debhead. (This is usually where others at the meeting chime in with a “Hi Dave”) I’ve been shaking my love since 1987 (can someone hand me a tissue please) when I first heard Debbie Gibson blasting out of my boom box radio. I wore out my “Out Of The…
The last Pride event I went to in June was a panel of authors at my favorite Connecticut bookstore, RJ Julia Booksellers. The panel consisted of Chip Pons and Marie Rutkoski and was hosted by Troix Jackson. They discussed their coming out stories and tropes their books contained, ones they might explore in the future…
I, like the majority of people, first became aware of Bob The Drag Queen when he won season eight of Rupaul’s Drag Race. However, I fell in love with Bob on the HBO series We’re Here where his empathy, intelligence and humor really shined and continues to shine in his new novel “Harriet Tubman: Live…
In 2012 I became a Krysten Ritter fan because of her show “Don’t Trust The Bitch In Apartment 23”. Which is no surprise, with a title like that. Its fun when she pops up on different shows or movies I’m watching. Most recently it was “Veronica Mars”; a pandemic binge watch and I just checked…
