Dear Makers of Speedo®, I’ve come up with a surprisingly simple solution to the bad reputation your brief-style swimwear gets. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed looking at your product on the bodies of olympic swimmers – but not everyone has the body of an olympic swimmer and your brand name tends to get trashed [...]

Today was the first (and last) Gay Day at Wet n’ Wild Las Vegas. It’s the last because they’re closing the park at the end of the season and building (surprise) a casino in it’s place. We were co-sponsors and organizers of the event, along with Las Vegas Pride, so I was there at 7:30 [...]

Well, I’ve decided I’m going to go for it. I got the money order today and I’m going to try the 3-Day-Novel Contest. Registration form is going in the mail Monday and that extra $200 will cover the loss of $50 (entrance fee) from my budget. I’ve worked out a pretty good outline and I [...]

I just came from our monthly social/mixer for the National Lesbian & Gay Jounalists Association (NGLJA) – Las Vegas Chapter. The meeting was kind of small, but it was fun. We had it at the Pride Factory, the new cafe/novelty/bookstore that opened last month. I doscovered today that they make way better iced mochas than [...]

Wow, so I won a $200 prepaid credit card in this local contest and now I feel that money burning a hole in my pocket. The first purchase, of course, was upgrading my LJ account so I can do fun stuff like have lots of icons and conduct polls. So, to test the new feature [...]

You know, I’ve been called a lot of things in print and in person, but today was a new one. Several weeks ago, I was interviewed by the Las Vegas Weekly about the new businesses opening up in town for the gay community. I’d almost forgotten about the interview until they contacted me this week [...]

So my phone rang about 30 minutes ago and the conversation began like this: Me: Stonewall Publishing, this is Jere. Other Person: How’s tricks? Me: um, fine. (pause). Other Person: Is that all? Me: Who is this? Other Person: Lawrence. Put your fingers in your ears, I’m about to scream… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! So, for those who [...]

So and I have been exchanging scenes and scripts for the Angel season 6 project and the weirdest thing happened. I’m used to working with a lot of email, and I’ve never seen this happen before. The Hardy Boys and the Case of the Ghost Attachment (extremely vague spoiler about AtS Season 6) I logged [...]

As if to prove I am the selfish asshole some members of my family like to claim I am, I missed calling my sister on her birthday. In my defense, I didn’t have her phone number until today and when I did try calling, she wasn’t in. I guess my family went to Lagoon Amusement [...]

I was doing some investigation today on whether or not Utah has state-issued media credentials (apparently not) and I spotted a squee-worthy opportunity. SUNDANCE-FUCKING-FILM-FESTIVAL in January! I should be able to arrange the media credentials for the festival before I leave Vegas, write on assignment for my current company, and freelance out some additional articles. [...]
