Gay of A Certain Age - Tom's House

My birthday weekend continued

with a visit to the 

Tom of Findland Foundation 

in Echo Park

on Sunday.

As a Gay of A Certain Age, I think it's important to remember 

all aspects of our history

and Tom of Finland certainly had an impact on our community!

I was pleased to find that muh DAB, 

Steven Reigns, 

City of West Hollywood Poet Laureate

was hosting

erotic poetry reading!

 Also reading their poetry were

 Ramon Garcia

and David Parke Epstein

I liked Steven's BEING 16 most.

 A little later, Jordan performed as Grace Jones

Jordan

There were quite a few hotties around the house...

There were also some interesting sights around the house...

 There were also some friends selling their wares,

including photographer, Jeremy Lucido,

founder of 

STARRFUCKER MAGAZINE

As I left, I took another look around

to take in my surroundings

and embrace the sense of history

...and catch a glimpse of another cute artist!

Thanks, Tom of Finland!

Gay of A Certain Age - 48 & Nellie

Saturday I turned 48 and had a blast!

It started off with a surprise drink from my friends Rick & Jeffrey, who were sitting at another table.

Then the wait staff surprised me with a Tequilla shot.

That little glass looks more like three shots to me, but who am I to complain?

SMOOTH!

Then came my favorite part of the night...

remember that "Nomophobia" thing I have about getting people's name wrong,

well, Chico's Angels Hunk, Josh shows up, 

and I introduce him to the room as "Trevor"!

I didn't even realize until a few minutes later when he said, 

"Thanks for that..."

Maybe it was the triple tequilla shot.

Muh DAB, Dennis and I shared the celebration, 

which consisted of a few appetizers in a back room

of the Casita Del Campo,

chat & the Nellie Olesons after.

It was a nice crowd, 

take a look:

Yep, these are some of my friends.

They're all pretty cool, 

except for that Trevor, 

he's aloof.

 The wait staff surprised us with Flan & a song!

After, we headed downstairs to the 

Cavern Club Theater

to watch the Nellie Olesons,

who are literally

balls out

funny!

We shamelessly broke the 

no photos in the theater rule

(well before the show started)

After the show I was a nerd

and got a photo with each and every single one of the Nellies!

All in all 

it was a fun,

easy breezy, 

laugh outloud

good time birthday,

made even more special by sharing it with

muh DAB, Dennis Hensley!
