Happy Monday

Win tickets to see Erasure at the Beacon Theatre 

If you read last week's newsletter, you saw that my mom was in town for a few days.  The real reason for her trip, was to see her the man of her dreams, Anderson Cooper, LIVE on Friday night at the Beacon Theatre when he was in "intimate conversation" with Andy Cohen.  Mother was in absolute heaven seeing Anderson live and in person. You see, Anderson has been my mom's main crush for years, and she was so excited to get these tickets as one of her Xmas presents. To round out her trip, I took her to a few Broadway shows over the last few days (We saw Anastasia and Come From Away. Both we  exceptional).  If you want to get extra points, take your mom out on the town.  :) 

 












Speaking of the Beacon, our friends at the Beacon have graciously offered us a pair of Erasure tickets to give away in celebration of tickets to their Erasure dates (a second concert just went on sale). Scroll down for details. 

Next up with The Men Event:

Tonight is Gay Millionaire Matchmaker Speed Dating . If you like to date guys who are a little older or a little younger, this is the event for you.  Only 2 tickets left.

Mwah!

In today's Big Gay Giveaway, you get the chance to win 2 tickets to see Erasure  at the Beacon Theatre!

Due To Overwhelming Demand - Third Show Added Friday July 13! ERASURE (Andy Bell and Vince Clarke) have announced a collaboration with Echo Collective, the Brussels-based collective of post-classical musicians best known for their ongoing collaborative work with A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Johann Johannsson, Dustin O'Halloran and Stars of the Lid.  Erasure, with special guests Reed & Caroline, bring their World Be Gone Tour to the Beacon Theatre on July 13, 14 & 15! The tracks featured on World Beyond show award-winning songwriters Vince Clarke and Andy Bell in a more reflective mood, giving the world and recent political upheavals a thoughtful examination. This new collaboration gives a new dimension to the tracks - including fan-favorites "Still It's Not Over", which tackles the LGBT rights movement post-Stonewall, and "Lousy Some Of Nothing", a ballad for our post-truth age - but the band's optimism about the future remains clear and bright. Andy Bell explains: "...the reinterpretations have brought such enormous context to the songs, it has created a new place for them." July 14th and 15th are sold out!  Tickets for the third show are on sale this Friday at 10AM!

Famous artists and personalities, such as Caravaggio or Gertrude Stein, will appear-but so will lesser-known artists and works whose homoerotic charge is often ignored (including images used in homosexual initiation rites in New Guinea!).
