  1. I've only gone to one Lodge event (with a provider, at his suggestion) and was generally impressed. The organizers are legit. The rules are clear. Most are held in one of the spaces Adonis briefly used for nude parties in 2018 or so. Attracts a broad mix of guys in terms of age, body type, and ethnicity. Many quite attractive. Generally chill vibe. I've considered going back but the dress code doesn't really work for me, at least not without a pre-arranged companion, so I've not tested the waters again. (I should say that I used to work as an attendant at similar events -- anybody remember Vinny's or Wally's parties -- way back in the 1990s so I'm always scoping the set-up with a particular eye.)

    All of that being said -- if you find the idea of being basically naked while cruising a dimly lit joint with lots of couches and curtains and assorted bodies appealing -- I'd say it's worth checking out, at least once.

  2. can someone remind me how to toggle to thumbnail/grid view when viewing the new Rentmen site? I seem to have it set to grid for the landing page and for the buddy list, but not for the results when I do a basic search...

  3. LOVE + SCIENCE by David J Glass -- at City Center, Stage II, through July 6, 2023.
    A series of vivid vignettes charts the story of two young gay med students who connect while working in a retrovirology lab in NYC in the early 1980s. Very science-forward, which I found actually quite interesting/effective, but not as much interest in character development. The cast is uniformly compelling and the design is fun. Matt Walker and Jonathan Burke are really good (and very hunky) actors who lead a strong cast. (Imani Pearl Williams is a standout.) I suspect many will find much to quibble with -- the historical accuracy, the character/narrative structure, the contemporary coda -- but I really liked it and thought Matt Walker's performance to be next-level good.

  4. FOXES by Dexter Flanders at 59E59 through July2
    Interesting and very British slice-of-life play about two young guys finding their way to each other while also balancing the rigid moralism and homophobia within their community... Not not a coming out play. Very charismatic performances by Raphel Famotibe & Bayo Gbadamosi whose erotic connection on stage is very compelling.

  5. I thought it rubbed me the wrong way too -- until one gent happened to do so in a way that intrigued me...
    A quick back and forth assuaged my resistance -- I was wary not only because of the unsolicited contact but also because his profile didn't include a face-pic (which is usually a must for me) -- but I proceeded to book a meetup anyway. As it happens, he turned out to be one of my all-time favorite hires and is the only gent I've booked more than 3x.
    So you never know...

  6. totally weird request alert:

    I'm trying to dig up a photograph of one of the regular Adonis guys circa 2019 (in the pre-pandemic Evolve era) but -- even though I tend to keep a lot of Adonis emails -- I can't seem to find one with him on the roster... 

    Handle: Tyler or Tyler-NJ
    Look: tall, dark, leather-daddy-ish, often with a cap and/or shades
    Frequency: pretty regular for a concentrated bit of time, maybe 8-9 months

    if you're a better digital hoarder than I and might be able to help, please let me know via DM?
    thanks in advance
