With my schedule full of decidedly non-NYC things to do over the next few weeks, I seized the opportunity to go see the Tim Burton exhibition now featured at the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown, NYC. The special showing is sponsored by the SyFy channel and is a collection of Tim Burton’s art including drawings, sketches, paintings, sculptures, and other related items from his movies and animated shorts he’s directed and produced over the course of several decades.

Quite unexpectedly this summer, I was asked by Father Tony of the Farmboyz if I wanted to participate in a NYC-focused version of the Bilerico website and whatever it would entail. I was blown-away by the vision he had for it and all the various people he was collecting to help participate. There was no small amount of head-scratching on my part about what I could actually contribute, especially since my blogging had moved decidedly off kilter and just all around less. Never the less, I whole-heartedly agreed and thanked him profusely figuring I’d figure out those pesky details about what I’d actually contribute some other time.
Then two things happened: I actually started blogging less which seems almost impossible without actually shutting down the blog and I took a large project at work that would have me in New Hampshire during the week and upstate at home during the weekends. Again, pesky details of how I would write about NYC when I actually wasn’t even here/there be damned…we’d figure it out.
Well, the Bilerico-NYC project hasn’t launched but Father Tony has put together Queer New York, a substitute blog place holder until the other comes to fruition. The invitation again to participate appeared via email this week and so that old cool blogging vibe has once again raised its head and put me into a spin. So I can be found around here, of course for the decidedly non-NYC types of things but I can also be found participating with some pretty amazing people over at Queer New York, singing the praises of the Hub of the Universe and all the weirdness it leaves in its wake.

I missed last night’s spontaneous rally at Times Square after the defeat of the Marriage Equality bill by the NY State Senate yesterday afternoon. When I heard more than a thousand people showed up to voice their outrage over the defeat my first thought was, “I’m not sure counting unaware tourists trying to get their theater groove on at TKTS necessarily constitutes a pro-gay marriage stance or organized outrage at the New York State Senate.” But whatever, I let it go.
