Bonjour, hommes de Northampton!
After ten hot, grueling days at a computer security conference in Las Vegas, I'm finally back home in Northampton, just in time to enjoy the start of the New England autumn. Hopefully while I was away you guys all enjoyed some of the late September activities like KING and the Northampton gay men's social's third anniversary. Of course, I'm also back home just in time for an exodus of many of you who are headed up to Montreal this weekend. What's going on in Montreal, you ask? Paul Specht, one of the most talented photographers in Massachusetts, is putting on an exhibit with painter Daniel Beaudoin of Montreal. It looks like a fantastic event, uniquely blending Paul and Daniel's artistic talents. You can find more information via the Facebook event, the website for Galerie Dentaire, or, for those who speak neither French nor Facebook, check out the Montreal page at GayCities. The grand opening is tonight, but the show will be going on through October 18.
When I sat down this morning to clean some old links off of Monoho, I wasn't sure I'd have much new to post. Boy was I wrong - it looks like October is a big month for fans of the stage. Smoke and Meers, the progeny of local Matt Meers, will be bringing you the music drag comedy "Nunsense A-men!" in Springfield next weekend, and the Exit 7 Players in Ludlow are performing RENT, happening right now through October 16. You can find out more information about these and other upcoming events on the front page of monoho.com.
Of course, it's October, which means Halloween, and how can I get away with an events update without mentioning the grand daddy of Halloween events - Spooky Bear! Don't be fooled by the name, it's not just all bears - but there will be no shortage of ursa men, either. If you've never experienced Spooky Bear, don't wait, make your reservations for Provincetown NOW. Halloween weekend will be action-packed with guys in costumes (or just leather), enjoying the parties and other activities that make Spooky Bear an event we have been looking forward to all year long.
Know of other upcoming events you think the monoho community would be interested in? Let us know at askmonoho@gmail.com.
By the way, did anyone else notice that Pride and Joy is coming back to Northampton? The "grand reopening" is Tuesday, October 11 - find them in Thornes Marketplace on Main Street, and make sure you "like" their Facebook page to stay up to date.
I recently heard from Ken Schneck of Brattleboro, Vermont, about his radio show "This Show is So Gay." Ken broadcasts live from Brattleboro, is syndicated nationwide, and makes recordings of his show available as podcasts for download. It's a pretty entertaining show, covering a wide variety of topics, gay and otherwise. Give the show a listen at http://thisshowissogay.com.
I don't have much else for you today. I'm still (slowly) unpacking from my trip, doing laundry, and adjusting my circadian rhythm back to Eastern time, so with that I shall leave you for now. If you're traveling to Montreal, have fun and say hello to Paul and the others for me! If you're staying local, enjoy the start of fall in New England.
Until next time!
