Gay and Gray in Chicago

New Town Writers, Chicago's premiere gay writing group, produces another collection of works in A Gay and Gray Anthology

GandGanthol2.jpg

"Memory, as one person's experience, can be likened to the metaphor of the thread. On a grand loom the fabric of a community is then woven - punctuated by the sharp click of the shuttle. Memory is difficult to deconstruct.  It is inexact, it is elusive, it is essential because all history depends on it.

A Gay and Gray Anthology looks back to record the feelings, struggles, strategies and adventures of the elders of our LGBTQ community.  Its description of the world that existed before diversity became a watchword enchants us with its insight and originality. This anthology grew out of the desire to preserve and celebrate our heritage; as time passes these memories become ever more precious.

These artifacts of the mind take many forms as evidenced by this publication. Gay and Grey includes poetry, fiction, memoir, social criticism, and even a performance piece. The offerings are born of the heart yet there is humor as well. Hopefully, there is something for everyone."

You can meet some of the authors in A Gay and Gray Anthology June 5th at 11:30 a.m.at the Printer's Row Book Fair

Chaz Bono's Suspicious Package

CHAZ-BONO.jpg

 

Cher's gender identity-tweaked son, Chaz Bono, was recently stopped at LAX and questioned by Homeland Security when a suspicious package was found stuffed down the front of his pants.

He was released when it was discovered the "suspicious package" was a McDonald's Angus Bacon & Cheese burger - with savory bacon, two slices of golden cheese and topped off with crisp red onion and crinkle-cut pickles - to snack on the plane.

Bono's book "Transition: How I Became a Man," can be found at chazbono.net and it tells the story of Bono's transition from FEMALE to NEW JERSEY NIGHT CLUB BOUNCER.

What Happened To Osama bin Laden's My Little Pony Collectibles?

 

bin-laden.jpg

  An assault force of Navy SEALS confiscated a treasure trove of computer drives and discs from Osama bin Laden's compound over the weekend, with one official calling it "the mother lode of intelligence."

         However, nobody is talking about Osama bin Laden's priceless collection of My Little Pony memorabilia, which he had been collecting since he was a little girl in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Was the collection in the compound? Did the Navy SEALS have the good sense to pick it up before they fed him to the fishes? And, most important of all ... Did the Navy SEALS snatch up the much sought-after, incredibly rare, My Little Pony Lunch Box with the electric-blue pony with the hot pink vagina?  (Toy manufacturer Hasbro pulled it from the shelves? It was apparently the work of a disgruntled employee).

         Only three are known to exist. Osama bin Laden had one of them, King Abdullah II of Jordan owns one, and the third is in the collection of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah.

Where's St. Sukie? This Bitter Old Queen Is Lost

St. Sukie is older than God and Zsa Zsa Gabor put together and here he is again having one of his "Senior Moments" - this poor sad old queen has no idea where he is. He left the house in his slippers and wants you to help him find himself. "Where the fuck am I?" Where's St. Sukie? And who gives a shit anyway.
