David Javerbaum might be a self-proclaimed “lazy person”, but it’s fairly erroneous to pin that label on a multiple Emmy award winner whose writing credits include The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, several books, and lyrics to the opening number of two Tony Awards shows. This, in addition to a stint as producer of The Late Late Show with James Corden. [Read more…] about Giving Voice to the Almighty: An Interview with David Javerbaum

Need a Fun Idea to Do Around Manhattan? Try Fab’s “Color By Fab”
Just because you get to an adult place in life, doesn’t mean that your imagination should be limited to only adult type things.

Well, Fab.com, our favorite shopping site, has now developed an amazing “adult” coloring book called “Color By Fab”, and it really is just that- fab.

A Brand New Show for an Older “Gay Geezer”
“I had my share, I drank my fill/And even though I’m satisfied/I’m hungry still to see what’s down another road/beyond the hill and do it all again/ So here’s to life and all the joy it brings/ Yes, here’s to life and dreamers and their dreams.”

A Farewell to Prince, An Imminent “Sayonara” for Sayre
I caught wind of the frequent convening later than I hoped, but was ultimately grateful to have made it.

Sayre’s variety show format began at the intimate Duplex space in the West Village and later moved to the larger venue where he has been packing the pub and entertaining audiences with his brand of wicked humor and tributes to musical icons. “The Meeting” has also entertained crowds across the country in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Clearly, sodomites are everywhere and fortunately, we have a strong leader with Sayre at the helm. [Read more…] about A Farewell to Prince, An Imminent “Sayonara” for Sayre
