It appears it’s left up to the individual show. Hamilton will only require the cast & crew to be vaccinated not the audience. While the show Springsteen will require proof of vaccine from the audience. Re: Your proof of vaccine card, just like the AMEX commercial says, “Don’t leave home without it.”

Jordan Fisher had just taken over the role before the pandemic hit. Yes, he’s returning! He was great in Hamilton.

@JoeMendoza, Glad you’re seeing Dear Evan Hansen. Next to Hamilton, my 2nd favorite on B’way. Do you know who’s playing the lead? Some other suggestions: These shows were running prior to the pandemic and I enjoyed them. 1. To Kill A Mockingbird, Jeff Daniels is returning to the roll of Atticus Finch. 2. Hadestown (musical) 3. Moulin Rouge (musical) 4. Ain’t Too Proud (musical) You’re coming to NYC close to Christmas, a busy time. I’d suggest you get your tickets ASAP! Enjoy your visit. Coop

Administrator’s Warning: Gentlemen, If the OP wanted religion in his thread he would have started it in the Politics Forum. That’s where religion is discussed. A polite suggestion: some of you might want to consider editing your replies to prevent this thread from being moved.

Admin Note: Gentlemen, Let’s keep politics out of this Forum.

Last year I had a conversation with @Guy Fawkes regarding inactive users and why to keep them as members. The first reason was the obvious. What if they decided to post or just view. That’s already been mentioned in the previous messages. The second reason was spoken as a true businessman. NUMBERS! Yes, the number of members + the number of posts = to the value of the site. One example being advertising. Not long ago we had a discussion about advertisements on the message center. Advertisers check numbers to see if the site generates enough traffic. The better the numbers the more advertisers would be interested. Another being classification/rating of the site. Sites fall into categories based on activity. If this still holds true, I think the owner of the site would check on these numbers regularly. So. Happy Birthday to all familiar & unfamiliar members!

Here’s the website for Aplus Men Spa in Patchogue . Yes, same owners & same Masseurs as Prime. https://aplus-men-spa.business.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral

Was at Prime today. Last time there I met Andy. He’s been working at the Spa for about a month. Nice looking Asian with a medium build. Since I had filled my dance card with 6 visits I was entitled to 30 free minutes or 4 hands massage... I took the 30 extra minutes. The 90 min massage cost $70. I like Andy. He got right down to business and gave me a quality massage. I’d request him again. ?? The other masseur working today was Bin. He gets good reviews.

I’m sure we’ll soon be hearing dates for the re-opening of Broadway ?Shows. NY Gov. Cuomo lifted the ban on all entertainment as of May 19th. ?? “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo upstaged the Broadway League on Monday. Industry insiders expectedthe trade organization, which represents theater owners and producers, to say that some Broadway shows would reopen in September with more coming back during the fall. But at a press conference Cuomo beat them to it, lifting most capacity restrictions on restaurants, bars, museums, gyms, salons and retail shops by May 19. That list also included Broadway.”

@BuffaloKyle, To respond to your comment, before you became a member in 10/2020 there was a request made by @Lucky to have a separate forum called “Comedy/Tragedy”. It’s original intend was to discuss Broadway ? shows. The Forum became quite popular and other requests were made for sub-forums devoted to movies, literature, TV, etc. The major reason it might not look too active to you is because of the pandemic. You’ll see the number of threads increase once these venues reopen. Just because a Forum doesn’t appear too active, ex. Escort Travels, doesn’t mean it won’t get active in time.

@coriolis888, A very well written & most informative message with valuable information that hadn’t been discussed before. Definitely something that should be taken into consideration. Thanks for your contribution.

@Coolwave35, You’re probably right but I think we’ll all feel more comfortable if it was done legally.

@Lucky, I agree but apparently some members need a reminder.

@Epigonos, We have different memories of how daddy acquired the site. When Hooboy passed his family inherited his estate including his site. His mother, a religious person, thought it was a travel site and was obviously unhappy when she learned what it actually was. Although an offer was made to purchase it, she decided to let the ownership expire. Hooboy’s bf was user name foxyboy. I don’t agree with what you call “facts”. Who told you this?

Okay Gentlemen, Please, let’s stop these premature discussions. Is there a lawyer in the house? I’m sure I’m not the only one here who has dealt with being a trustee or executor of an estate. M4M is in @Guy Fawkes estate. He still owns it. Until the Probate Court finds there are no living relatives who can make claim to his estate and rules on an executor, we shouldn’t be making any decisions on who will own or run it. Let’s be patient. Perhaps a member lawyer can give us an idea on how long it might take for a court ruling. Thanks, Cooper

@RadioRob, When you have a chance can you check this out. Thanks.

I just reread all the wonderful ideas and suggestions posted by concerned members. It’s a great idea to plan ahead. The sudden passing of @Guy Fawkes hit many of us hard. To me he was a mentor and strong supporter who trusted me enough with all the tools of his site. Jokingly, he used to say to me: “Cooper, when accessing the Administrator Tools, never touch the red button”. I will always miss our daily chats. It’s now been over a month since his passing and so much has taken place to preserve his legacy. Guy had some really good friends in Team Washington. They came to our rescue. Later today I’ll be talking with @RadioRob to discuss M4M’s future. There’s been a lot of good information shared in this thread. We all know that in order to move ahead we need a death certificate and a court ruling. If all goes smoothly, a new owner is needed. Hopefully, that person is tech savvy or can hire someone who is. The new owner will decide how to run the site and what needs he has. If necessary, I’ll offer my assistance but would completely understand if a new team is wanted. Guy was a one man operation. He knew everything about running the sites and took good care at protecting his operations. Very similar as did TotallyOz of Boy Toy and Ace Banner of Muscle Service. As for raising money to pay the bills, we’ve seen how it can be done. My compliments go out to @JEC for organizing a very successful GoFundMe drive. Thanks to all the members who contributed. You’ve proven how important it is to keep the site going. Also, a special thanks to @Coolwave35 for so generously offering to take care of future site expenses. So, what have I been up to during this transition. I’ve been working with one of our new moderators, @Daverwr. His “powers” now include every forum. Welcome aboard... With Dave on the W Coast and I on the E Coast we basically have the site covered 24/7. If you ever need to contact us just click on report and one of us will get back to you. A new Forum has just been created. Many of you had asked for a separate forum to discuss sports topics. I agreed and now we have “The Sports Desk.” So, stop by and tells us about your favorite teams or players and what you’re looking forward to in the Olympics. I have lots more to share but I don’t want to compete with one of our favorite contributors @stevenkesslar for the longest message. If you have any questions feel free to start a conversation with me. And, please continue sharing your thoughts and ideas on your visions for our future. Cooper

@JoeMendoza & @mike carey, Correct!! ? “The current Olympic equestrian disciplines are Dressage, Eventing, and Jumping. In each discipline, both individual and team medals are awarded. Women and men compete together on equal terms.”

Located between the SPA & ASK AN ESCORT is a new Forum called “The Sports Desk”. It’s for the sports enthusiasts amongst us. Now you can post about your favorite sport or share news stories. And, if you like, post images of some of your favorite players. So, here’s a question for you, name an Olympic event where men & women compete against one another on equal terms. ?

We can either start this Forum fresh or we can import threads from the lounge. If you want a thread moved to this Forum, just find the thread and click on “report”. I’ll send it over.

For years members have been asking for a separate Forum dedicated to sports. Well, here it is! Description: The Sports Desk is a Forum for sports enthusiast to come together and share their points of view on topics covering the world wide of sports. Whether your game is AFL, soccer, rugby, baseball, basketball, or something that doesn't involve any balls at all. Enjoy! Cooper

Thanks @latbear4blk for asking. Right now I’m very active in the Moderator’s Forum. I’m reviewing and explaining the Message Center Rules and going over the responsibilities of Administrators and Moderators. I’m also monitoring all Forums, acting on all reports, and taking action on the Approval Queue. If you need to contact me just send a PM.

Gentlemen, the topic is “India's COVID Variant could be Deadlier & Vaccine Resistant”. Let’s respect the wishes of the OP and stay on topic.

Scheduled a massage at Prime and was told a new guy named Mark would be my masseur. Well, Mark was not new to me. He used to work at Bliss in Manhasset. He’s a youthful looking Asian twink. Gives a good body rub. As I was leaving I was introduced to another new masseur named Andy. A very handsome Asian with a solid medium build. I requested him for my next visit. Since I completed my 5 visit card my next visit will be either 50% off or a 4 hands massage. Decisions, decisions!
