Just because the economy is in the bidet doesn’t mean that you can’t have any fun.

Great show! LOVE Kevin. Love love love.
You know, my boyfriend and I saw “Zanna DON’T” at the Bailiwick this past summer. Worst show I’ve ever seen. And I have a BFA in Theatre — I’ve seen some crap. Perhaps it was a result of the low budget or something…
It’s bear week on the Feast of Fools! Thanks guys. I always enjoy Kevin.
I enjoyed you had Kevin again on the show! He is a lovely guy, concierge.
Good to hear that his hotel has good business despite the economic crisis.
I checked the website he recommended on the show. Apparently it is legal because they charge for each song. But it is really cheap.
I absolutly love Kevin. Great show… I really want to support the theatre when I get home from school!!! aka see Equus mmmhhmmm.
Gay men in the hospitality industry
Guilty as charged
Always a pleasure to hear from Kevin. I love his advice. It makes sense that we should support the arts now more than ever. So go to a art gallery, local museum, see a show in a little independent theatre in your town. Keep the arts alive.
By the way if any of you are in Atlanta, here is our half-price ticket vendor: http://www.atlantaperforms.com/Discount-Tickets/Details-on-Purchasing.html
It *is* bear week! I love the bears. They’re like us lesbians, only less hairy and not as argumentative.
Kevin is a hoot. Such a people person! He and Tracy Tyler would make such a cute couple.
Plastic surgery for dead people? Who’s gonna be the first post-mortem transsexual?
Me! I want a hot rack on my chest when I go.
Kevin was such a great guest. I love to hear the latest on the theater scene.
Also, I loved the Batman/Robin theory. I still quite don’t understand why there are more Bear Robbins than Bear Batmans. Also, what are the duties of a Batman and those of a Robbin. Does this spill outside the bedroom? Just wondering.
I definitely want to stay at Kevin’s hotel the next time I go to SF. And I need tips on what to do there after you’ve done the touristy things.
And then I need money.
Darn these bad economic times.
If I hadn’t a friend in SF who can put me up I would definitely go to Kevin’s hotel!
Marc, are you sure that Rimini is an Italian gay beach? I’m afraid but it’s more for youngsters and families… THE Italian gay beach is in Tuscany at Torre del Lago.
You’re all great!
Things change, It use to be.
So I’m several episodes behind, but I would just like to say that I have several Pyrex/Glass/Acrylic butt toys. They are wonderful, and there is no reason to think that they would break. Unless you bang them on cement or something…
