Remains of the Day (01/23)

 


ICYMI: I revisit my own love affair with concert ticket stubs -- Go-Go's, Missing Persons, Smiths -- HERE 

















Speedo Sunday: Green with envy


Hot Cat of the Day: Fear not -- Rudy is safe at home


Reading list: Finished listening to the "On the Road" audiobook. Will Patton did an incredible job of bringing the characters to life in a way my teen self never could. (Verdict: I think audiobooks are a great alternative in certain situations. My brother Terence told me he wanted to hear Frank McCourt tell the story of "Angel's Ashes" and "'Tis" -- and now I do, too.) Also finished reading "Gay Bar: Why We Went Out," which unfortunately wound up being a little more about why the author and his partner went out than a general look at why gay people crave our own spaces. Also polished off Molly Shannon's memoir, detailing the car accident that left her without a mother and down a sister and cousin. (God, she's a doll!) Next up: Thinking of finally starting Erik Piepenburg's look at gay restaurants, "Dining Out." Let me know if you've read it and what you thought.
