(Not Just) Knee Deep: The Spring 2012 Gay Thread

De facto summer gay thread, btw: MAGIC MIKE, the male stripper movie starring channing tatum, matthew mcconaughey, dir. Steven Soderbergh

also, seriously, all of y'all in insufficiently queer and/or dtf jurisdictions need to come to montreal.

pause. not in like a 'i am offering' way. in a 'this is a city substantially populated by attractive young men who are dtf' way.

I had to look up that acronym!

It's been about two months, which is not terrible but it's you know spring and I have a tan.

attractive young men dnwtfm

also, tans must to avoid

me & my boy are doing pretty great right now

i'm so hungry

Perfect transition.

'a talk' was about the idea of my going to visit him this summer when he's in argentina for a month. and whether our relationship is open or closed.

(jury's still out on former, and so far we're 'closed' in the sense that neither of us wants to be with anyone else)

oh, seattle's fine as far as dtf-ness (2nd gayest city in america and all). I'm just stranded out in the burbs and never get down there. and the few young gay men i meet out here are kind of on the dnw side of things.

Seattle is the second-gayest city in America?

Why have I not visited? Hm. EMP 2013 sounds promising.

I am thinking of a Montreal trip in the next few months, Alex – my first time in Canadia!

i may be in seattle in december!

I would've been back to Montreal by now if you still had a baseball team.

Ugh. Don't remind me.

We miss the Expos.

Stupid Washington Capitols.

Nationals but don't sweat it.

Trip to Midwest in June/July still up in the air for me.

I think part of my problem is I never go to gay bars.

Not just as far as like hooking up goes, but as far as having a gay social circle. I have like, no gay friends in town.

Blargh. Morbz. I know that. I do.

I'm just in the middle of exam season and the only things on my mind are (a) passing my awful awful exams on Monday and Friday and (b) hockey.

And yes, I know hockey = CapitAls not CapitOls. It's a bit of a day.

Having gay friends in town doesn't nec help in getting gay sex in town if you don't want it.

ramz- you should text me when you're done. i'm going to hot yoga to try to fight off a cold (yes, this has worked before), but you might catch me afterwards.

ok

My butt itches.

hot yoga is good for that too ;)

I think it needs to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYPTw4Vd188

Just had a post-finals viewing of Heathers with two of my girlfriends. Raining outside. Today is a good day.

I haven't seen it in years but Christian Slater was one of my first hard-ons.

So badly I want to sip cocktails w surm and talk Six Feet Under.

so.

badly.

just saw the new Ira Sachs movie Keep the Lights On, which will probably be deservedly regarded as one of this year's major films. Really brought back those '90s memories of phone sex and smoking crack.
Gay cognoscenti in attendance, incl JAMES BIDGOOD! (who has a cameo)

Did he bring his pink muse?

Also, regarding OP, never realized George Clinton was the guy behind this TV theme song:

The '80s were weird.

oh yeah the Sachs film is mostly scored w/ Arthur Russell.

My buddy 4d4m was involved w making that film and I think is running the website! Is that finally out?

been hearing a lot of buzz about that film

happy birthday to lou iirc

hbd lou!

no, KtLO comes out in July, this screening was at the Tribeca fest... but it took place in Chelsea, which means the wave of cologne when I entered the theater almost knocked me out.

the sweetest musk hangover

happy b'day lou!

^^^ that too
