A Cheezy Weekend…but in a Good Way
On Friday night, Randy had a cheese tasting party. A cheesemonger came and taught a group of 24 people about 12 different types of cheeses. My favorites, as expected, were the brie (a triple cream with 75% fat) and a pecorino toscano. YUM. It was also an opportunity for me to meet nearly all of Randy’s Boston-area friends.
My friend, Chris, arrived from Washington, DC on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, JetBlue lost his luggage and much of the wet and dreary afternoon was spent calling and waiting for it to be delivered. But we made the most of it by having lunch in Eastie at Santarpio’s (ain’t much to look at, but the pizza was pretty darn good….and the local folk were a hoot to listen to).
That evening, we went to the newest play by Ryan Landy and the Gold Dust Orphans. Normally he takes old movies and camps them up with witty dialogue and his hilarious drag theatre troupe. This time, in honor of Halloween, he took three Twilight Zone episodes and camped them up. We got there shortly before “curtain” time and ended up in the back. But we could still see and hear everything.
After the play, we did a quick walk-thru of Machine/Ramrod (the bar) before heading out for dinner at Brown Sugar: a nearby Thai restaurant. YUM.
By now it was about 11:30PM and we were all quite tired. We decided to go up to the Top of the Hub (the restaurant on the 52nd floor of the Prudential Tower) and have a quick drink. We got there just in time because once we found seats at the bar, the place got packed and people had to stand. The rain had finally subsided so we had pretty nice views of the Boston area.
On Sunday, the three of us headed up to Salem for Haunted Happenings. It was freakin’ windy! But the sights and sounds were fun (though less croweded than I’ve ever seen in the last 5 years). Here are some photos taken by Chris and Randy (for once, I didn’t take my camera). The last photo is my favorite.
Some shots of Salem homes and doorways

Every gay man’s favorite liguor store (where you can buy a t-shirt that says “I got it in the bunghole”)
Randy being a “pain the ass”
And my favorite shot…worthy of a postcard

Sounds fun! I love the Bunghole / Pain In The Ass photos… too funny… you have a little Beavis & Butthead in you after all! Heh heh heh…unhuh huh huh huh. You said Bunghole.
No fair trying to distract us with pictures! It is your amusing commentary that we really come for.
Though you know it is the beginning of the end when you start posting pictures of someone “getting it in the ass.” Soon you’ll be doing HNT and all the rest… 🙂
Looks like you had a great time.
And I want one of those t-shirts.
A cheese party without moi?! I’m never speaking to you again. You know there’s a “cheese trail” in Vermont? Yum. I’ve got the last picture as my wallpaper as we speak.
I love Salem in October, it’s so much fun!
