The Oak Lawn Tales – First Date?

The three day rule is the worst. The rule that you don’t call someone back right away, but wait a little time to show that you’re really not interested? It sucks, but it’s a good rule, and here’s why: without the rule, we’d show are total freaks by calling and saying “ohmygodiamsogladyouanswerediamsoexcitedtotalktoyou” right out of […]

Dear B…

On March 7, 2007, I walked over to La Prima Tazza where you were waiting for me. We had only chatted online until that point, it was the first night we met in person. You were waiting for me on the bench out front wearing your dark blue suede jacket that was ruined in Germany […]

I am The Ricky!

Today, Ricky Martin shocked no one by coming out. Let me say that coming out is never easy, even ten years after you were a massively popular household name, and I’m very glad he did. I couldn’t help imagining what conversations were going on between him and his boyfriend the days leading up to the […]

The Oak Lawn Tales – The Halloween Party

When I first moved down to Dallas I had no life of my own because I couldn’t separate my life from work. It all stems back to my childhood and my first computer, the Commodore 64. As an awkward kid, it was a lot easier for me to relate to the Commodore’s internal memory map […]

The Oak Lawn Tales – Getting Stronger

Along with being closeted gay and the not blond kid, I was a ninety eight pound weakling in high school. The nervousness of screwing up in front of my classmates and my natural clumsiness resulted in being bad at every thing, and I was always picked last for any sport in gym class.. Because my […]

The Agenda

I know my straight reader out there doesn’t get the monthly magazine that comes with gay membership, which means you don’t have access to our super secret gay agenda. I could get in big trouble for this, but I’m going to share with the entire internet our most trusted secret.

The gay agenda is to […]

Miss Me Yet?

Dear small business owners of Wyoming, MN who put up this:

Please listen to this.

The Oak Lawn Tales – But That’s Where The Strange People Live!

One of the perks of getting my first job at the tail end of the tech boom was that Multi-national corp flew me down for a house hunting trip. For the five and a half years prior I had lived in slummy apartments around Lawrence, KS, and I had very low standards for my new […]

Holidays on Ice and Snow and Gaga

Between work and the holidays, B and I weren’t going to see a lot of each other in December and January. As an organist Christmas has a lot of extra responsibilities, and he added some more by organizing a Christmas concert at a church he used to play at. On top of that both of […]
