Dear Diary,

As we were entering the VIP area of the Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, so was Billy Zoom, the guitarist of the legendary Los Angeles punk band X.

When Mr. Zoom noticed that he and I were wearing the same OG Ramones t-shirt, the rockstar said to me before shaking my hand,
“Cool fashion.”

To which I replied probably too quickly,
“I’m a really big fan.”

Mr. Zoom then gave me a squinty cowboy glare and whispered Clint Eastwood-ly, “
“Well, you don’t look so big to me.”

Dear Diary,

I think our favorite part of the amazing Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery had to be when Billy Idol joined the Cretin Family onstage for a few songs to close out the incredible show.
We died and went to heaven.

That Linda Ramone sure knows how to throw a party.

Dear Diary,

There were loads of go-go dancers at the Abbey Saturday night. All denominations. They just kept coming. No repeats. All beautiful.
Although none more beautiful than Gabriel.

I’ll never know if Gabriel got a second spin on the Abbey main stage or if there was someone impossibly even more beautiful than Gabriel awaiting his moment backstage Saturday night because Todd was being a jerk and I therefore decided to walk back to the hotel alone even though I was drunk.
I was so mad at Todd I didn’t turn around once to see if he cared enough to follow me.

On my way home, there were loads of lit bars on Santa Monica Boulevard pumping and jumping and overflowing with hot stuff go-go boys.
A balmy summer evening.
No cover charges.
It probably would have been really fun and funny for us to hit them all, but I’ll never know.

Gabriel Gonzalez.

Dear Diary,

At the Falcon Ink event at Book Soup, Todd ran into Sister Roma, a long lost friend from Todd’s San Francisco days and nights.

Sister Roma took a wonderful selfie with Todd, and Todd proudly texted me the image.

While framing the pic for an Instagram story, I spent considerable time struggling to figure out a way to erase two unsightly old gays who were cluttering up the photograph’s background.

Then I finally realized the unsightlier of the two old gays was me.

Saturday afternoon, we inadvertently found ourselves at a glamorous and supercool book signing not far from our hotel in West Hollywood.

Dear Diary,

My genius friend Carter Smith gifted me two hard copies of his new and absolutely amazing Backwoods Boys zines. They arrived in brown paper by USPS Saturday.
Carter is an old friend as well as an incredible filmmaker and photographer, and his dark and moody Backwoods Boys—starring Kodiak and Dan—are a menacing joy. They really go there.
And by go there, I mean they are totally hot and wildly freaky and full-on filthy.
FULL-ON FILTHY.
In ways that might make one feel bad later.
Which, of course, is the best.
I wish more friends sent me porn in the mail.

On Thursday September 3rd, Todd and I are driving up to San Francisco to attend the opening of a show of Carter’s Backwoods Boys photographs at the Bob Mizer Museum and Photographic Archives.
We sincerely hope that we are able to meet some of the Backwoods Boys in the flesh.

Places I’d Rather Be.
Carter Smith’s Backwoods.
And I’d like to be there with Dan Kleinmann.

Dear Diary,

This past Thursday, I got a message from the legendary DJ, superstar rockstar and international fashion icon Honey Dijon.
HONEY. FUCKING. DIJON.

As she and I were going back and forth, I was imagining where the glamorous Ms. Dijon was writing from.
Maybe she was backstage at a VIP only rave on some private jet set resort beach in Ibiza, taking a well deserved break between sets to iron out the beats of a fabulous new song about to make its debut.
Perhaps she was in lingerie and stilettos removing her makeup in a high design, disco deluxe Parisian hotel suite bathroom, pooped out but still gorgeous after a serious evening of nightclubbing.
One could envision her on the terrace of an oligarch’s billion dollar Manhattan skyscraper penthouse after being flown in from Tokyo to perform at a runaway heiress’s 21st birthday party. Ms. Dijon might have been taking a moment to consider the effects of champagne on jet lag as well as the pros and cons of dangerously down to the wire last minute airport limousine pick ups.

When I first received Ms. Dijon’s text, I was in the process of folding laundry and wondering why Todd’s socks never match.

Dear Diary,

California Sun.

We had immediately rsvp’d YES upon receiving our invite to the Ramones Tribute being held at the end of the month at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, so right away we scheduled a rock and roll LA road trip for next week.
And we can’t wait.
This is the sort of thing we do now that we are living our best lives on the West Coast.

We are blessed to have close friends like the glamorous and fabulous Linda Ramone, and we are excited to finally experience one of her legendary Ramones events.
Although we obviously look forward to the punk supergroup Cretin Family performance and the John Travolta double feature, we are especially grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate our very missed pal Johnny Ramone and remember all the good times we had back when we were all New Yorkers.

Charlie, part 2.

My friend Charlie Rice, the handsome and glamorous owner of the Monster Bar in New York City, used to manage the legendary Uncle Charlie’s bar during the gay glory of late Seventies and early Eighties Miami, Florida.

Todd had his own gay glory in Miami when he lived there during the early Nineties. Todd won’t really talk about that part of his life even though I bring up those fast times fairly often.
Even after all these years, I’m still obsessed with Todd and his mystery.

Todd did reveal to me that he went to see the infamous gay porn star Ryan Idol live onstage at Uncle Charlie’s two nights in a row during that period, however Todd claims he can’t find the Polaroids his buddy Rubin the Cuban supposedly took at the event. Todd even joined the second evening’s performance at Mr. Idol’s request, although in what capacity I guess I will never truly know.

Charlie, on the other hand, provided via IG DM lots of fun visual memories of his wild and sexy nights back in the magical heyday of Uncle Charlie’s.

Todd and Ryan.
Uncle Charlie’s, Coconut Grove.
This isn’t what Todd said happened, but this is what I imagine.

Charlie, part 1.

My friend Charlie Rice, the handsome and glamorous owner of the Monster Bar in New York City, recently posted some vintage images on IG of the Monster Restaurant from awhile ago during the glory days of Seventies Fire Island.

I DM’d Charlie questions about the Monster Restaurant and he sent me back some additional photographs.
Some of the pictures were of Charlie himself in the company of the late great gay porn icon Casey Donovan. Both looked perfect and beautiful as they lived their best lives in the surf and sand once upon a time on some faraway beach.

I’m often sad that I never visited Fire Island.
Right now, I’m just brokenhearted that I can’t go to the Monster tonight.

Dear Diary,

Wednesday.

While Todd was in the dentist’s office having six fillings, one of the things I accomplished was taking Helen Wheels—our inherited from my father 2017 Ford Escape—to the car wash.
After his appointment, Todd said he wanted to go to the Great Wall for dim sum and egg drop soup.

While we were in the restaurant having dinner, a seagull took a big wet shit on Helen.

Dear Diary,

I’m rarely homesick for my former New York life, but when a friend sent me an iPhone photo of Robin Byrd at the premiere of the new documentary BANG MY BOX: THE ROBIN BYRD STORY, I suffered a deep sensation of extreme fomo.

Let it be said for the record that this will be the third drawing of Robin Byrd that I’ve posted on Instagram and that my obsession with Robin Byrd began when I first saw her truly mind blowing Manhattan Cable program during a visit to the city when I was a college sophomore in 1985.
I put a check in the mail for the “Baby Let Me Bang Your Box” 45 advertised at the end of the show but the record sadly never arrived.

One morning in 1988 while cutting up C-prints in the Vanity Fair art department, I told my boss that I watched Sandra Bernhard the night before strip down to her bra and panties to the tune of Patti Smith’s “Free Money” on the Robin Byrd Show. My boss instructed me to obtain a video tape of that episode immediately.
So I called Manhattan Cable.
The man on the other end of the line had a boozy chain smoker phone masher’s voice and a scary mobster’s inflexibility regarding Robin Byrd’s contact info. He begrudgingly took my number and basically hung up on me.

It was my roommate who first got to speak to Robin and he said she asked him, “So, are you a Byrd watcher too?” My jealously fermented until she eventually rang back.
It took a moment for Robin’s suspicions to relax but it was when I spoke of once upon a time attempting to mail order her single that she truly warmed up to me.

I don’t recall much more about my close encounter with the great Robin Byrd—at some point during the conversation I got starstruck vapors and started astral projecting—or if I did finally secure a copy of the Sandra Bernard performance for my boss, but I can say for sure that soon after my conversation with Robin a package arrived at my rotten little illegal sublet on Avenue B containing an autographed black and white 8 X 10 glossy of gorgeous …

Dear Diary,

LA Friends 5.

When the magnificent and majestic Emil Jameson arrived at El Cid as part of the Hot Dog night shift go-go crew, I immediately demanded that Love Connie introduce me.

When the beautiful and super-heroic Emil Jameson—now resplendent in his assigned red and white, red hot slut Hot Dog weekly themed go-go ensemble—perched on the ledge where we were hanging with Connie, I immediately demanded that Todd switch places with me so that I could be beside Emil.

When the incredibly proportioned and insanely perfect Emil Jameson eventually climbed upon the go-go pedestal and began doing his go-go thing, I immediately leapt from my seat to trudge through the dense Los Angeles gaiety in order to present Emil with a well deserved tip.
As I looked up at Emil in awe, I awkwardly tried to distract him from my nervous hands shaking and fumbling with the wad of bills I had reserved for this particular moment by attempting to engage him in conversation regarding an Instagram story I had viewed recently featuring a perturbed go-go Hot Dog sternly clarifying the dos and don’ts of cash placement when one is tipping a dancer.
Emil listened patiently before gently cutting me off.

“Just don’t put it in my butthole,” the kind eyed and softly smiling sex god warned lightly.

Emil.

Dear Diary,

I’m taking a break from my Hot Dog series, but I’ll start it up again as there are more memorable moments to write/draw.
We had such a great time in LA, but when we got back our lives became a true shit show. Last week really sucked.

I can’t discuss everything that happened, so you’ll have to take my word for it.
I will say that last Tuesday, the day after our return home, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning and left with an appointment for a tooth removal.
I had the extraction yesterday, the first part of a four part dental implant procedure that will take place over the next six months.
It is the same jacked tooth that required a three part root canal cluster fuck horror show last December.

Dear Diary,

LA Friends 4.

While I was upstairs at Hot Dog chatting with Love Connie, I spooked Todd down below spending considerable time and exhibiting great finesse tipping a certain go-go boy.

As Todd slid the neatly folded bills into the dancer’s waistband, Todd gently eased the dancer’s thong away from the dancer’s crack while lovingly looking deep inside the dancer’s spread asscheeks.

I hate it when Todd is into the same go-go boys as me.

Dear Diary,

LA Friends 3.

Of course, we went to gay church at Hot Dog Sundays while we were in LA.
We have been greatly anticipating Hot Dog Sundays for quite awhile now, and it is no exaggeration when I say we had the best fucking time.

We spent most of our Hot Dog experience hanging with our new bestie Love Connie upstairs at the cup dispensary, watching the cruisers below with the “occasional” sojourn into the congregation to tip our favorite go-go boys.

Connie has loads of star quality, and it was hilarious having a front row seat as she categorized new arrivals through plastic party cup gay sexual role preference color coding ESP.

Connie also possesses mad social skills, and she made sure Todd and I were introduced to anyone and everyone worth knowing.
We got to social intercourse with all the hot dogs.

Love Connie and Pablo.

Dear Diary,

Goth Life, 2026.

When we arrived at Beach Goth Night—a “World Goth Day Celebration”—at the Blue Lagoon up in Santa Cruz this past Friday, there was a terribly long, super spreader-y line to get into the event.

Because we are gentlemen of a certain age with delicately balanced levels of patience and irritability, we immediate left the club and walked briskly to our 2017 Ford Escape and drove home just over the speed limit to make it back right on time to feed the cats their dinner on schedule.

Dear Diary,

Yesterday, a friend who knows me very well sent over a big article in the Guardian about the late No Wave hero Gordon Stevenson.
I forwarded the piece to another friend who responded, “There will never be people like this again.” She concluded her text with the heartbreak emoji.

I don’t feel like explaining who Gordon Stevenson was for the same reason I don’t feel like explaining why Tom Brady as Skinny Girl Margarita Tom of Finland leather daddy manqué hobbling around and clogging up Times Square is cultural appropriation and all sorts of other deep rooted wrongness.
It might be worth mentioning, however, that the Guardian misspelled “AIDS.”

When I die and go to Heaven, I’m looking forward to befriending all the unique and magical people I was never allowed to meet on this side.
I’m going to buy their clothes and wear their jewelry and pose and dance until I’m black and blue to their bands and records at their after hours bars and underground nightclubs.
I’m going to watch and possibly participate in their films and music videos and late night cable television programs and I’m going to make art with them and have sex with them and do lots of other fun things with them and none of us will ever get sick or sad or lose our looks or sense of style.

I was imagining the beginning of a happily ever after never ending story where I first encounter the edgy glamour of Gordon Stevenson and Mirielle Cervenka at a secret punk fairytale flea market or maybe gallery opening somewhere in the labyrinthine and diamond dusted streets and alleys of the downtown afterlife…

On the way home from Santa Cruz Saturday night, Todd and made a detour into Castroville.

We had never been to Franco’s Norma Jean’s Nightclub.
For the longest time, I thought the place no longer existed.
Franco’s Norma Jean was a myth and a tough Google, a lost and legendary homosexual Narnia that disappeared into the leafy fields of “The Artichoke Center Of The World” once upon a time.

But there it was.
A bright and happy sign on a shadowy and lonely farm town street. Salsa pumping.
All glittery and pinky and turquoise-y and Marilyn Monroe-y inside.
Open every Saturday evening at 10 PM.
The only gay bar in Monterey County.

Hot stuff go-go boys go-go-ing.
A Spanish speaking drag queen superstar actually singing live, driving her devoted and Modelo lubed fans loco.
Handsome and stylish Vaqueros touch dancing and Latin hustling.
A total scene. And Todd and I stayed out well past our bedtime.
Fabuloso y estupendo.

Obviously, we will be back.

Dear Diary,

Saturday Night, part 1.

Saturday afternoon, Todd and I drove up to Santa Cruz because local punk heroes Apricot Court were playing that night at the legendary Blue Lagoon.
It was a fantastic show.

We watched the band from the back of the club, keeping a healthy distance from the abundance of slam dancing happening in front of the stage.

Dear Diary,

While I was killing time not really shopping before meeting Todd for dinner in Pacific Grove, the nice lady who owned the little store I was not really shopping in asked me gently, “Might I interest you in a Mother’s Day card?”

Happy Mother’s Day, to those who celebrate.

Dear Diary,

The very cute and very friendly German Shepherd who belongs to the house on the left enjoys pooping all around the citrus trees that we recently planted in the backyard.

The very glamorous and very sweet Maine Coon Cat who belongs to the house on the right has decided that the rose bed right outside our front picture window is her litter box.

Dear Diary,

We drove up to San Francisco for a three day vacation celebrating Todd’s birthday.
We had dinner every night at Florio on Fillmore and ended each evening at the Powerhouse down on Folsom Street.
As usual.

Although it happened to be San Francisco Rubber Weekend, our hearts were captured by two adorable go go vaqueros at Travieso, the monthly Latin Leather Party at the Powerhouse.
“Travieso” is Spanish for “troublemaker”, the flyer on the wall outside the club entrance stated.

Nathan and Nico were both “muy caliente” and I assumed the two were a couple because the chemistry was so obvious. Nico confessed they were “exes”, asking me to guess which of the two was the top and which was the bottom.
I told Nico that I hope one day soon he and Nathan will get back together.
Nico referred to Nathan as a “pendejo”, but in a sweet way.

I was imagining Todd and I on a double date with our new amigos. Maybe steak frites at Florio’s and then a horror flick. Maybe finishing it all off in the dark shadows of the upstairs dance floor of the legendary Powerhouse.

Nathan and Nico.

Dear Diary,

When I was padlocking my locker at the gym Monday, a bearded and bespectacled and baseballhatted old man who looked not unlike Mr. Mike from 1970’s Saturday Night Live approached me to discuss my Cast NYC Lower East Side t-shirt.
Mr. Mike wanted me to know that he too once lived in Manhattan, Union Square to be specific.
Mr. Mike’s pale and sagging body was leopard spotted in large dark sores.

While I was tying my shoes in the locker room in preparation to leave the gym Wednesday, a tall sea haggy old man with long linty gray hair and a lung cancer suntan plopped himself down beside me to comment on my David Bowie t-shirt.
The sea hag had a cartoon angry face like a devil’s mask and it was hard to breathe because of his wild and foul body odor. The sea hag bared black rimmed villain chompers that were too big for his gray receding gums when he explained to me in a German accent that he used to dj at a new wave club in the early eighties.
The sea hag imperiously informed me—even though no one was asking—that he preferred Bowie before the nineties but did not care at all for any era of The Cure.

Both old men were completely naked during these conversations.

On Friday as I was walking past the men’s locker room entrance to the swimming pool on my way to the urinals after doing cardio at the gym, I saw a spindly and brittle old Asian man painfully contorting himself underneath the wall mounted hand dryer to get just the right angle so that he might blow dry his gnarled and warty little butthole.
I was wearing a Cure t-shirt at the time, in case you were wondering.

Dear Diary,

Even though Todd and I are wildly happy and incredibly satisfied with our lives since making the big move left to Green Acres two years ago, from time to time I do still have some Eva Gabor moments.

With Todd’s birthday in less than a week, I find myself longing to hop on a subway or simply just walk out of my apartment building to roam the city streets in search of the perfect gift.
I miss SHOPPING.
This year, I think all of Todd’s birthday presents were purchased lamely online, which totally sucks.

I used to always find success at The Cast down on Orchard Street.
The Cast is the brainchild of our friend Chuck Bones, and Chuck is keeping the NYC punk dream alive and well on the Lower East Side with the clothes he designs and the style sizzle those looks ignite. There’s also well curated vinyl and books and photographs of legends and heroes to fuel that particular inspiration and desire.
Chuck’s got good taste, as they say.
Even though I’m currently a bit anti-fashion in regards to my own image, my next splurge in that direction is going to be The Cast’s “Bowery” jacket. Todd has one and I’m jealous, plus I think I can start wearing a biker jacket again now that I’ve hit a certain age and old loud and snotty disposition.

I was imagining how cool it would be if The Cast had a California storefront, then I could simply jump in my car to compare the regular Bowery to the cropped version Chuck recommends for me.
Perhaps The Cast West could be next door to the fantasy bar I envision opening and part of the scene I crave creating over by the Nu-Art Adult Theatre in North Monterey.
Since Chuck is also a fabulous rockstar, maybe one of Chuck’s bands—the Trash Bags or the Gag Bags—would perform Friday nights at my bar.
Since Chuck is also wonderfully tall and wildly good looking and totally fucking hot, maybe Chuck might make the occasional after hours appearance onstage at the notorious Nu-Art too.

Places I’d Rather Be.
The Cast.
And I’d like to be there wi…

Dear Diary,

Sunday afternoon, we drove to the wonderful nursery that we love so much in the Valley to buy ladybugs for the purpose of solving the aphid situation that is currently plaguing our rose garden. We bought ten packages.
One of the nice people who works at the nursery told us not to worry.
“Aphids are easy to kill,” he said with a smile.

When we got back to our house, we waited until the sun was setting before gently placing the cute little ladybugs on the roses, as we were instructed to do by our helpful friend at the nursery.

When we went to check on the roses Monday morning, we discovered all the ladybugs were dead.

Dear Diary,

A really cute guy named Corey from Cincinnati, OH sent me via Instagram DM some reference images for a potential drawing.

Sometimes I try to get to know and understand my partner Todd better by interrogating him about his gay youth since his gay journey seems to have been the polar opposite of mine.
Even though we have been together for more than two decades, Todd has always been pretty vague and mysterious on the topic of romance during his formative years. One might even get the impression that the subject makes him wildly uncomfortable; his brow furrows and he acts really nervous, possibly even defensive when I push him for Love and Sex answers and examples.

While I was mentally searching for a setting for Corey’s portrait—and since Todd is also from Ohio—it dawned on me that this was an opportunity to once again drill Todd on his past in the guise of some Toledo, OH 80’s gay nightlife history. He provided some locations I’d heard before—Blue Jeans, Bretz Toledo, Hooterville Station, Caesars—but he also recalled an adult bookstore frequented by some of his Red Lobster coworkers on their lunch breaks.
Todd couldn’t remember the name, though.

One afternoon last year after breakfast for dinner at Denny’s in North Monterey, CA, Todd and I walked across the street to check out the Nu-Art Theatre and Fremont Adult Bookstore, where we had never been before.
We spent some time talking to the owner and spooking the regulars, and the place had a very cool sexy edgy pervy queer punk vibe. Like I wanted to hang there.

If I had loads of money to burn, I’d open a bar next door to the Nu-Art in the hopes of creating a “scene.” The Central Coast of California sure could use one.
Maybe I could even convince Corey to come and go-go there.
Maybe I’d commission a giant neon sign of Todd’s junk to stick on the roof.

Corey.

Dear Diary,

On Saturday, the gardener planted a Valencia orange tree, a Cara Cara orange tree, a blood orange tree, a Satsuma Mandarin tree, a Meyer lemon tree, a Bearss lime tree, a Mexican lime tree, a Kaffir lime tree and a tangelo tree in our backyard.

There was a Lisbon lemon tree already flourishing behind our house despite years of neglect, so we figured citrus trees were a smart way to go.
There is a new irrigation system installed, plus gopher baskets and fences to protect from hungry deer.

It is all terribly exciting.

Dear Diary,

Last Saturday night while in San Francisco for my birthday weekend, Todd and I were fortunate to make the acquaintance of the one and only Rory K. Davis—aka Coach Bator—when he was dancing on the bar of the Powerhouse wearing only sneakers and a threadbare gym sock pud warmer garter-belted to his bouncing junk with an industrial strength cock ring.

The charmingly outgoing and Hollywood white teeth smiling Coach—a silver fox/hot daddy type as the name would suggest—is an acclaimed local legend choreographer with a client base ranging from superstar drag queens and world famous boylesque theatrical productions to chair bound geriatrics taking aerobic classes in the recreational common areas of assisted living spaces.
I got all that from the internet.

The studly yet humble Coach told me directly that when he’s not go-go-ing at the clubs, he’s back home creating gay porn content where he sucks and fucks his pig scene partners while slathered in and sloshing around greasy plastic tubs of “Nickelodeon green slime.”

Coach Bator.

Dear Diary,

Four months ago, a home in our neighborhood sold for a lot of money.
Two weeks ago, the house was mysteriously back on the market.

Last week, I went to the open house viewing as I had done last September.
There were many of our neighbors there. Way more than last time.

When I asked the real estate agent why the family was selling their dream home after barely moving in, the real estate agent made an exaggerated sad face and said,
“Sometimes, life just gets in the way.”

Dear Diary,

On December 21, 2025, there was a fatal shark attack just off Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, CA.

Pacific Grove is the next town over from Todd and me and our West Coast life, and Lovers Point is where we go to sit quietly on a bench and stare peacefully at the sea.

Todd still won’t stop talking about the shark attack, even when I ask him not to.
To say he’s obsessed would be putting it mildly.

Dear Diary,

Last Friday night, we went to see the punk band Apricot Court perform at Cuz’s Sportsman’s Club bar up in Seaside.
Apricot Court is a VERY cool band.

Although we love it out here, sometimes I find myself hyper aware of what is not really here.
And alarmingly, what is probably never going to be here.
It was a relief—as well as a rare and beautiful thing—to be able to feed a particular “punk” need last Friday night up in Seaside.
Maybe you can understand this.

Although Apricot Court hails from Pacific Grove and therefore totally local, the band sadly doesn’t play around here that often. Certainly not enough for Todd and me.
One is much more likely to catch an Apricot Court gig a lot further north in Santa Cruz. Or way down south in Los Angeles, even.
The magnificent Anthony Annigoni, guitarist and lead vocalist for Apricot Court, said to me, “They don’t like us here in Monterey. We’re too punk for ‘em. We come from the school of Joe Strummer, not heavy metal.”

This resonates deeply.
When I moved to New York City in 1987, I remember thinking it was the only place in the world that would want me.
Up until that point, I had always felt like I was in the wrong location for lots of reasons.
A different kind of punk, but also the same.

Apricot Court has a new single out on Saturday.
If you were actually any version of cool and/or punk, you’d support Apricot Court on all platforms.

#DearDiary,

Friday night, Todd and I went to see A Flock Of Seagulls perform at the Golden State Theatre in downtown Monastery.
Although the show was great and we were not the least bit bothered by the fact that the band is now a minimalist men in black duo and the sole original Seagull Mike Score’s hall of fame new wave hair-do is long gone, we were more than a little bit disappointed that there was no merch table to be found at the venue.
We wanted and expected t-shirts.

September 1982, I went to see the Go-Go’s with A Flock Of Seagulls and the Rockats in concert at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg, Florida.
I remember buying a white with green sleeves A Flock Of Seagulls baseball jersey because I was worried what if I got a Go-Go’s t-shirt, I would look gay.

#DearDiary,

On Tuesday I went to my new dentist. My first California dentist.

My new dentist and his impressive staff and his state of the art facilities are all super duper future shock sci fi high tech slick disco minute detailed glamo whammo James Bond villain ultra advanced. My new dentist and his office make my old New York dentist and his office look like the Little House On The Prairie. Believe it or not.

When my new dentist blew up the hyper realistic 3-D computer generated dental renderings on the panorama IMAX movie screen in the examination room, my mouth appeared as a gargantuan monster gash from a Marvel Comics film franchise set in a bomb shelter geriatric hospital in post apocalyptic Appalachia.

When I confessed to my new dentist that my obviously jacked teeth made me seriously depressed, my new dentist—who is also young and good looking and charming—responded, “You’re actually pretty good. Better than most who come in here.”
Then my new dentist set up me up with a next day endodontist appointment for the first of a four part root canal.

The Powerhouse in San Francisco is totally fantastic and just what the doctor ordered, to put it mildly.
Because we had such an excellent time there Friday night at the Stank Party, we returned the following evening for the Lick It Party. That’s where we met our new friend Daniel, who was dancing on the bar.
Daniel is gorgeous and super hot, to put it mildly.
