..............anonymous...........

[Guest Gringo]

a really intriguing & insightful perspective. our thoughts as seen as text rather than the flesh & blood. sort of like the dream b4 the action---the half-dressed escort, the screams heard but never seen in Greek theatre, the promise of something covered or hidden. merry christmas everyone.......

[Guest Bitchboy]

When I first found myself on the information highway, I ended up in a chat room devoted to people of like persuasion. We'd "meet" almost nightly and have the grandest times. After months of this cybermeeting, we decided to get together for a gay-sponsored event here in New York City. Some people travelled many miles to get here. We met for brunch in a central location and then went on to the event. I'm not sure what happened. But none of us ever met again, and within weeks we all stopped chatting in the previously vocal chat room.

 

Personally, I'd rather imagine what Lucky looks like, or ad rian smells like, or see the infamous HooBoy ass in my mind's eye only. I really believe you can never go home again.

Happy Holiday Godiva, Since joining this board I've had the wonderful pleasure of meeting some of our fine board members...I first met "Valley Dweller North" (a real super and friendly guy) in the lounge of the Gaiety theatre when he was writing the "weekend reviews". Our common interest has led to a great friendship...I also meet the "NY Observer" at the Gaiety. He has been the source of so much information for me. I truly value his opinion and will greatly miss his fantastic reviews...Lucky and I met in the Gaiety lounge. If you were wondering what he looks like, well, he's quite handsome and tall, very funny and friendly, and he "loves" Antonio...NYO introduced me to "Luso", a kind and gentle man. I hope to get to know him better for we have common "love" interests and enjoy comparing notes!..."Jaynnj" is a regular patron at the Gaiety, I met him earlier in the year and we keep in touch. He's full of information and loves people. Since he met me by my real name, I don't know if he's made the connection that I'm also "Cooper"... Finally, I met Jim, our NY "bottom-stud". He was my first friend on this board and we've kept in touch. He invited me for lunch in NYC and we had a great time. He's so friendly and handsome. I know he will be game for any "round-up"... I hope to continue meeting board members, it's always fun chatting about you guys!:+ ... My best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! Coop

[+ Lucky]

Hey, Cooper! I am flattered to be called "quite handsome" I am pleased that you found me to be funny and friendly.

 

I have met three non-escort posters from the message center. They are very nice guys and I would be happy to meeet anybody else who's in or coming to New York. The message center is great fun and putting faces to the screennames could be interesting....

[btmstudnyc]

Godiva, I had to think about you when I went to the GOdiva store the day after Christmas to get my 50% off on boxes of chocolate...damn Im goin to be fat. I actually don't mind meeting people. To me the phone the board the club the bar the chat room....I meet people everywhere...some people we stick to..others we go to once in a while...while others...we could care less about...

 

Cooper was great to meet...He is everything I expected. Jack I talk to on the phone. I think this forum is very interesting. It keeps me thinking and laughing. Some people dont get it...those are the people I don't really care to meet. The great thing about this whole thing... If we decide to meet...we will..and move to the next step...some people aren't even ready for that step...which is ok. some people don't even need to meet to be two steps ahead.

 

I say..go if you wanna. Learn what you can. Be free, gay and happy.

 

We still love you....no matter what.

Well,

I spent the better part of the last 18 years being anonymous. the result has been that I have become isolated, and depressed. I want to meet people I have become attached to (even if it's by a slim cyber thread). I want to have physical contact (no, not that kind of physical...ok, well maybe some of THAT kind of contact) Isolation and anonymity is very cold sometimes. It needs a human warmth and face to it. I will settle for phone and there are some here who give GOOD PHONE (no names Jim) , but I look forward to meeting handsome Lucky, warm hearted and hot Cooper, "it's all about my" btmstudnyc, and the others in NY. I am believing I will see a side of New York I have never seen in my two previous trips. And like Gringo's stories of being woven into the fabric of the locals in Brazil, that's what I want when I come to NY. Course it won't hurt of Rick and Derek throw in some time, but we have the "moon" let's not ask for the stars.

[VaHawk]

Well Godiva, you certainly make a lot of good points and tonight I find myself in total agreement with you. I think that a general "overall" meeting of posters would not be a good thing as half the fun of an internet bulletin board and/or chat room is letting your imagination roam free. It is just like reading a great book and seeing the movie adaption of that novel - the special effects wizadry of the movie is often spectactuarly overwhelming but most times it pales in comparison to the image in your mind, which is much more related to and thus unique to each individual reader's experience. However, I believe this supposition would be different if two posters such as Jim and Jackhammer have exchanged emails and phone conversations, in which case they should meet in person as they have already established a personal rapport(? on the spelling). I think that anything that would change that unique individual perception would result in inhibition between posters and stem the flow of ideas and expressions.

[+ glutes]

I've met three of the forum members here, all were quite agreeable. To repeat: We are a special and quite unique community!!! I would still take the risk of meeting some of you face to face. If you want to remain anonymous, just use a alias or your screen name.

By meeting Tom_cal, he convinced me to go to Rio. See what a meeting can do!!

[btmstudnyc]

vahawk,

 

You are so right. I don't want to meet EVERYONE. although.

 

Especially the nasty posters...It would be a shame if they turned out to be these cute and hot guys....Id have to say...what a waste. Id rather think of them as BEASTS that need to wise up before the last petal falls off the rose.

 

I do want to meet Godiva and VaHawk...but I want them to be blindfolded....lubed up and ready to go....I would come up to them from the back...and plant a kiss at the base of their necks....You fill in the rest.

 

 

JIM

[Godiva]

Thanxs Btmstud..I think;-)

 

Well it seems like more than a few of you are willing to take the chance anyway. The best that could happen is that we make new friends..the worse...we lose old friends..Its a gamble either way..

[jackhammer91406]

RE: Taking a chance

 

Godiva,

I just finished booking my Ticket for NY. I must have hit the back button 50 times before I finally hit the purchase now key. I have no idea where you live, and I am aware that your personal preference is not to meet other guys from the board. But I want to say that if you live in or near the NY area, and are around anytime between the evening of Feb 20,2003 and the evening of Feb 26,2003, I would love to meet you. With the exception of the 2 PM matinee of the Producers on Wed Feb. 26th, I have no plans. It doesn't have to be fancy and I will respect your preference either way. Since I can't e-mail you (no profile or am I blind now too?) you can answer by emailing me rather than post if you want. Or Private me a message.

 

To any other guys in NYC or area, please consider letting me make some new friends in person. I am anxious to have some friends in the RW. Don't know if I will have dime one to hire "talent" since I am still looking at hotels, but can afford coffee or a drink, or dinner or something. I am taking a chance, but it feels comfortable and exciting all at the same time. As for whether you might be embarrassed to be seen with me, well yeah there is that. But I am working with a trainer every week, been told I am not bad looking already (no, I didn't have to pay them to say that, although I don't believe them so go figure), I am 6'1 and 230 now but will weigh less when I get there. Let me hear from you if your interested, otherwise I will have absolutely nothing to do in NY except the matinee (sniff).

[VaHawk]

RE: Taking a chance

 

You sound like a beautiful man just the way you are now. You are aware of the fact the NYC is "cold as a witch's tit" (Southern expression there) in February? I'm tempted to hop on the hourly shuttle from DC and go up there, but can't make a commitment yet until I find out what my work schedule will be like. I'm so glad you didn't let other drive you away!

[jackhammer91406]

RE: Taking a chance

 

Thanks VA,

Just sent you an email to the effect that I want you to hop on that shuttle. Hope you can. The way i feel right now, I am so jazzed, I'll be lucky if I can sleep at all tonight.

[VaHawk]

Such an interesting offer, I just hope that you don't find that you're the one that needs the blindfold! }( On the other hand I find that a little mystery always leaves the door open to some intriguing possibilities. For instance just imagine the following scenario.

 

Two men exchange glances across a crowded, smokey room. The earth moves and lightening bolts light up the sky. The lust for each other is so strong that they immediately leave with just a nod of the head and with no words exchanged and check into the nearest hotel, even if is a real flea bagger with burn holes in the bedspread and cum stains on the carpet. They rip off each other's clothes and have hot pounding sex over and over and over all night long. The sex is so hot they set the "KMART blue light special" sheets on fire. Totally exhausted and sated they awake the next morning in the all encompassing glow of great sex:

 

A. WOW!! That was the greatest sex I ever had in my life! I

LOVE YOU!!

 

B. Same here. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven!

 

A. I usually hire escorts, but you are hotter than anyone I

have ever hired. I'd write a review of you on HooBoy if

you were an escort.

 

B. HooBoy? I love that site! Man, this is just so weird

to meet someone else from Hooville. I just love to post

on the message center there. Do you ever post there?

 

A. Many times, although there is one guy there I can't

stand!!!!!!

 

B. Man, same here! What's your HooBoy handle?

 

A. Trilingual, and you?

 

B. Aaaaaaaagh!!!! ad rian

 

Peace guys and don't get upset, as this is nothing personal, just a little fun! :) :) :)

[jackhammer91406]

RE: ..chances are

 

I have just pissed my pants I am laughing so hard. Please Tri and ad rian don't get upset, it was kinda funny.

VA HAWK, you get BIG points for that one. Chances are that is exactly the kind of thing that could happen this FEB. Hoo can resist the possibilities?

[Guest alphadogtx]

RE: ..chances are

 

:7 :7 :7 :7

 

that is too funny!!!!

 

I've met two m4m posters, on travels in South America. And the times I've spent with them were too much fun! They were chance meetings, in that we happened to be in the same cities at the same time, but once we met up, we had a great time cruising together, dining together, sharing stories, etc. And we continue to correspond via email once we returned to the US.

[jackhammer91406]

RE: ..chances are

 

alphadogtx,

I have loved reading about your exploits in Brazil. Would be great if you could get away from Texas for a few days and join me to take a bite out of the Apple. How cool it would be to have a touring pro to sort of hold my hand or....

[Godiva]

RE: Taking a chance

 

Hey Jackhammer..thanxs for the offer..Maybe in a few months I might soften to the idea..after all it will be the beginning of the new year..

 

My only concern is...are we all gonna have to have sex with each other??;-)

Let's see, how to answer this? (by the way, give me hint...what is the RIGHT answer?) No, no one has to do anything except have a good time. I just want to meet the locals and anyone else who comes into town and see what life is like. My travel this past year has been to see relatives. I have called it my "farewell tour" since I have been flirting with suicide so much. The family didn't know that. This trip is just for me. I have tried to book accomodations that allow for one of two possibilities.

1) I am the only one from out of town, so I am staying alone.

2) There are several guys who might come in for one or more nights and so a suite seems like a solution to give additional sleeping space as well as privacy for those who want to hook up.

Godiva, as to your question and mindful of Daddy's post about leading questions, discussion is for time only, no other actions inferred or implied,and anything that occurs is between two consenting adults.

There, that should take care of the necessary disclaimers. I am not a pro, so if I didn't cover this the right way, will accept correction (Franco?)

 

hope to meet you there

[Guest alphadogtx]

RE: ..chances are

 

 

thanks! Believe me, it was lots more fun to DO the things I wrote about. :9

 

I would love to go NYC and meet with you and the locals in Feb. I'll see if I can get away for those days. By the way, we have more shared experiences than you might think.

 

Keep your head up, don't let mean people get your spirits down.

RE: ..chances are

 

Alpha Dog,

Thanks for the pick me up. Would love to get together sometime and compare...um...notes... Would be a treat to meet. Have booked a suite off times square to allow for other out of towners (and even some in towners) to drop in.

[btmstudnyc]

RE: Taking a chance

 

Godiva,

 

We don't HAVE to have sex together. You can decide who you want to get close to. No name tags...and remember...you'll be blindfolded...so if you feel something that you dont like...Yell out.....NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT.

RE Where's Rick Munroe.

 

I had expected our Rick Munroe to reply to this post sometime along the line. Is he gone?

[Godiva]

Every once in a while a poster will initiate a gathering of some sort involving us posters.. I thought about it too especially during the turbulent times here on the board when some of the more vocal members here dominated the forums. I always thought to myself wouldn't it be great if we could get all these magnetic screen names in one location where we could.......actually I didn't know what we would do but it sure felt good.... for about a minute.

 

I mean has there been any non-escort meetings where 2 screenames got together for a chat..How did it work out?? Did friendships develop?

 

I wonder if we all did meet at some location for fun... would it be as wounderful as we might think..As much as I enjoy the cyber conversations we have here... I really think that on the whole it would do more harm than good.

 

I believe that what has initially attracted us all here together... what Martin longed for.... and that is for one to be judged by the "Content of our Character" That is what we are all judged by here on this board. When you see someones sreen name appear you pretty much have an idea which way they are leaning based on their history.. sans a few surprises.. We have ..up to now been able to "Listen Without Prejudice"

 

Would my opinions still matter to you if you saw that I was White..Black..Straight..Gay..78yrs old..a Woman..Blind..Jewish..12yrs old.. 400lbs..Infected w/Aids..Poor.. Rich... Unattractive etc..I think you get the pic.

 

I think once we cross this imaginary cyber line, ie Doc Grahamn in "Field Of Dreams", we will never be able to come back to the innocence of these forums where we are free to say what we want..(well within reason). The information may become restricted and guarded and we could lose the energy that flows here regulary.

 

We are a small representation of a very superficial community and to think that we would behave any different is insane.. Many feelings would be hurt...for it is impossible to live up to our own standards.

 

The truth is that as much a I would love to meet some of you I honestly think it could do more harm that good. I would much rather continue to be enlightened by your thoughts and respectful of our disagreements and continue to be judged by the "Content of my Character.." while at the same time pray that we all continue to remain..

 

.......... anonymous.........

 

 

your thoughts??
