Tix to Burning Man

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Well, between server crashes and trying to get some “real work” done, I managed to buy my ticket to Burning Man. They went on sale at noon PST today and it took me two hours and 35 minutes to finally get through. Tonight is the volunteer and staff kick-off party for Bob’s Event. We had [...]

It’s nice to be wanted

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

So, in the spirit of not surprising anyone with news anytime soon, last week I spoke to Valerie, the ED at the GLBT Community Center of Utah, about the recent offer that was made to me. Well, she pulled me aside yesterday and told me that she’d be meeting with the executive board in the [...]

More LHM madness

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

Visibly upset, Larry H. Miller pawed a KSL Radio reporter’s microphone Monday, shoving it out of the way and saying: “I said everything I had to say when I, when I, pulled the movie, OK.” After remaining silent for days, the Utah Jazz owner finally spoke up following the Salt Lake Branch NAACP’s Martin Luther [...]

Signs

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Well, if I was waiting for th universe to chime in and start giving me some signs about how I shoudl respond to the offer, the message seems to be coming through loud and clear. All weekend I’ve been getting reports of certain groups or organizations (for example) who want nothing to with Pride simply [...]

Day off

Friday, January 13th, 2006

I’m taking the day off from work. It feels a bit odd to be doing that just 6 days before opening night at Bob’s Event, but all my projects are completed and nobody in my department needed a hand with anything today. So I’m sitting at home reading (Eldest by Christopher Paolini, I just finished [...]

Boycotts are good, no?

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

I have this t-shirt I haven’t worn in a long time (yet it still sits in my closet). It reads “fag drama” with one of those ghostbustery red circles with the slash through it. I wish I were wearing it today… So, apparently the call to boycott Larry H. Miller is either way too hard, [...]

Why now?

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

So, I was speaking with Kelly from QVegas this morning and she asked me if I’d be interested in coming back to the magazine as editor. I really don’t know how I feel about that. On the one hand, I do miss my Vegas friends and family terribly and would love to come back. On [...]

Coming Out

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Lest I should annoy any readers out there and inadvertantly commit a crime, I feel I must now disclose my true identity. I am Karl Rove, destroyer of civil rights, enemy to freedom, and right-hand man-puppet to the ultimate forces of evil. Bill of Rights Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment [...]

Boycott Larry H. Miller

Monday, January 9th, 2006

If you haven’t already heard it on the national news, Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller cancelled his contract with Focus Features and pulled Brokeback Mountain just hours before it was to open at his Megaplex cinema. Miller and his family have a history of donating to anti-gay organizations and politicians. Yet, this is what [...]

I’ve become one of THOSE people…

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

Counting calories sucks. So do those “meal replacement” protein drinks (bleah!). Day 1: 1,646 calories Day 2: 1,810 calories Day 3: 1, 435 calories Today: 1,205 calories (so far) My goal is actually 1,880 calories a day and I’ve been falling under that… which isn’t especially good either… but once I’ve had time to shop [...]
