It's a Boy Book!

I want to begin the day by sending a big congratulations out to my pal Frank Anthony Polito whose debut novel -- "Band Fags!" -- officially goes on sale today! (Order your copy here.) The suburban Detroit, homo-coming-of-age story set in the '80s is getting rave reviews, and I can't hardly wait to attend the big launch party at 1984 next month (see details below).

You can watch the adorable trailer here:
