Kinsey Sicks at Hendrix ::::: FREE

If watching over-the-top drag (as if regular drag wasn't enough) is your thing go to Hendrix College this coming Thursday evening for a Free show of the decade old a cappella singing quartet KINSEY SICKS.They have a large following and are sure to tickle your funny bone.Just keep in mind that if we as a community want the world, let alone conway to take us serious we first must take ourselves serious.The image of our community that we put out there for everyone to see is an important step in changing the minds of those that hate us.It's OK to laugh and poke fun at us and them if it is offset with a dose of realism.Support the show and Laugh Learn and Listen then try to figure out what else can be done.Click on the post title to go to the Kinsey Sicks official website.

Telea Hairstreak Butterfly

This beautiful butterfly hasn't been seen in the United States in over 70 years but last week this photo was taken at Falcon State Park in Texas.Butterfly enthusiasts are traveling there in big numbers trying to catch a glimpse of the rare butterfly.I often as a young lad went out butterfly looking with my Grandmother and I am fortunate to have a house on crow mountain with a bit a land attached where lots of butterflies appear.I once spent half a day at the Butterfly House in Branson Missouri taking pictures and just enjoying being in and amoungst thousands of butterfies.I love life and all kinds of life.Their is hope that this butterfly hatched there and didn't migrate so hopefully we may see a few more from time to time.

VINO'S on FIRE

Vino's one of Little Rock's most popular and unique Brew Pub's and Pizza Joints was on fire today.The fire was on the 2nd floor which is where the owner Henry's office is located.It is suspected that an old window unit air conditioner which you can see blazing in one of the photos was to blame.Vino's is just a couple doors down from our store.They are neighbors.They are the reason I moved downtown.Our old location had nothing going on around it and when Dottie at the Free Press told me of the building we ended up buying was for sale and it was near Vino's and The Weekend Theater I jumped at the chance to move to where the action was.I rented part of the building to Robert and he opened up 7th Street Tattoo and we have all been neighbors and friends ever since.I wish Henry and all the Vino's clan a speedy recovery and healthy reopening.They are a vital part of our block and downtown Little Rock.

Luke and Noah come together and LIFE is GOOD

You really don't know who to feel sorry more the boyfriend laying in the hospital bed with no feelings in his legs who was shot by his boyfriends father or the boyfriend who just discovered he's gay , has a homophobic murdering dad , a prostitute mother who was just murdered by your homophobic murdering father who is sitting in jail and whose boyfriend is in the hospital maybe to never walk again.Now this is a soap opera so of course they are going to pull all kinds of crazy crap to keep viewers interested but aside from that the story has been well done.These are just 2 normal guys who are attracted to each other.They have just started dating.It is the ones around them that are the sickos.They are not portrayed in any kind of negative light as of yet.I say that even though I feel Noah should have been by Luke's bed from the beginning instead he's off absorbing everything that has happened and as I've mentioned it is alot to absorb.Why am I devoting so much time to the Nuke Story well alot of people are sitting at home each day and watching this portrayal of our community and yes even though it is only 2 gay guys it is a representation of us.I think it is a better representation than most of the gay characters we have had on television.For instance Will and Grace made us all laugh and the straight community laughed with us and at us as we watched.Those characters were a stereotypical gay view just like the view that Dear Abby was talking about " That's So Gay".These 2 boys Luke and Noah are just 2 ordinary straight acting gay guys falling in love which is the majority of gay people.Most of us don't stand out we are just here.Today Noah came to Luke's room and they talked for the first time since the shooting and it was a good thing.They need each other at this time.That's what most of the gay nesting couples of the world rely on each other because for the most part that's all they have is each other.For today in Luke and Noah's story LIFE IS GOOD they are both hurting but they have one another.

Another Nuke Update

Well in a previous post I mentioned Noah's father wanting to take the boys on a fishing trip was a little fishy and as you can see in the picture the father not only hates gay guys but is willing to point a rifle at them and shoot them.Luke did survive the shot but is being told he may never walk again.Noah's father is now stalking the hospital halls in his attempt to get rid of Luke.
