Somehow, someway, I was convinced to go to The Cuff a couple

After a tank top too many and the sound of ear-piercing lisps, I
scurried back to my car to seek refuge when I found my attention
grabbed by a photo which appeared to be a beer ad, containing your
photo?
Was this a fake? Do you need to sue The Cuff and that beer company?

what I said is harsh but I think alot of guys are increasingly
feeling that way. That's the reason this board exists and most of the
guys coming here probably feel this way too. I think most guys are just
afraid to say it because there is such a backlash. That's why I find
myself in such a touch position. By being a public figure, I want to
support gays of course but then i'm equally torn by wanting to cut down
the BS as well. it's frustrating but I think so many guys feel this way
that i'm not afraid to say it anymore. If no one speaks up then it'll
only get more shallow and worse.

that's so funny and fitting to post this under Dan Savage. I wrote
an article here with another writer for the stranger and Dan shot it
down in 2 seconds. That's exactly what I said. Gays spend all there time
screaming, "look at me, i'm such an individual, so free, blah blah
blah", but the truth is that most gays have thrown off the shackles of
oppression from one group and ran and put some gay ones on. Gay culture
can be just as limiting and oppressing as mainstream straight culture
and this is just one example. Dan censored my piece because it didn't
fit the gay agenda and most gays can't handle any criticism, even when
it's healthy.

I had a conversation with a friend the other night that I thought was pretty interesting. Her and I discussed how the coming out process is often a very difficult one. Gays come out of the closet to escape all the superficiality and bull#### of living in the closet.
The sad this is that as soon as you openly "enter" the gay world, you find yourself immersed deeper into the bull#### of the gay world, all a direct product of insecurites and internalized homophobia.
This is why it is so important to maintain individuality, by not allowing gay to be a definition of who you are. It's so ####ing discouraging though...

For me, the community here is rather discouraging for a couple
reasons. Because there definitely are these two distinct groups
(capitol hill and those who completely seperate themselves) here in
Seattle, it can be hard to connect yourself to gay people that aren't
like the in-crowd. Those who do seperate themselves, completely
seperate themselves. I interact with very few gays and sometimes I
wish there were more people who actually "get it."
It's strange though, because I still find myself fascinated by the
mainstream crowd here. I think it's amazing that forty year old men
act like eighteen year olds, and somehow that's seen as a good thing.
I'm rambling.

IP: 12.242.162.217
i'm kind of like you and don't get into it much but my few
experiences havent' been that great. From what i've seen, insecurity and
depression runs rampant amongst gays here but there seems to be two
distinct groups of gays here more so than what i'm used to. There's the
mainstream Capitol Hill group that's mostly b*tchy and lame and then
there's a huge group of guys that totally seperates themselves from that
and does their own thing. I think it's really easy to live outside the
gay world here because being gay is pretty accepted. There's no need to
be a part of the scene at all.
As for the city, I don't want to sound too negative about it because it
is a special place and has alot of special qualities that are not to be
found in most places. I'm just frustrated right now because I haven't
travelled much lately and that's what I live for. I'm not giving up on
this city either and I'm determined to find it's best parts.

don't mind justifying. The problem with Seattle is that so many
people who live here are stay at home types who just want to sit on the
couch and relax, read a book, watch TV, etc. Screw that man! If you're
going to live in a city, then live a city life and get your#####out and
socialize. Socializing can be painful at times here because it's like
pulling teeth with some people and that's if you catch them out. Mainly
my problem is that i'm just too spoiled by spending too much time in New
York, Boston, Atlanta and LA. After that, anything would be a snooze.

Look... day two of sunny weather here in SEA! Although some of
us have to get to work soon and will miss much of it, I hope you take
advantage of it for the rest of us! What's on your outdoor adgenda
today Danny? A little tennis at Greenlake? Perhaps some shopping at
the market? Might I suggest a bike ride at Alki?
Thanks again for hosting this board for us... since I stumbled upon it
a few days ago I've found some great chat.
Cheers!
James

this is an awesome city for running and hiking. There are trails
all through the city, including one that passes right by downtown. It's
common to see "commuters" coming to work on bikes and running. We have a
trail near my house that goes through a tunnel about a mile long
underneath a hill to the other side, which is lake Washington.

about Seattle being a great city for runners/hikers. seeing as you're

Here's a question for the room that I have been asking myself
for a while, "If gay marriages were permitted, do you think that gays
would wait to get married before having sex (civil unions aside).
Personally, I would have to say yes because in my own experience I am
choosing to wait until I am in a committed relationship (as close as
possible to the govt. view of marriage) to have sex. Send me your
views!
Later! -Bob

Ok, I'm sick of this.
I've long accepted that Jason and others on this board, myself
included, have differing political opinions. Discussing these
differences is certainly healthy, but when it comes to the point of
personal attacks and crap like "don't vote for X cuz he doesn't have a
chance" it goes over the line. I, and others have repeatedly brought
this up, and yet this #### continued. Suddenly, Danny speaks up about
it and Jason gives him the "no hard feelings" routine. Gimme a break.
Do you honestly not give the same respect to everyone else on this
board, Jason, because we either don't share your politcal opinions or
because we aren't former stars of Real World? Are you really that
shallow?
I'm sorry this sounds like such a low blow, and I know that I'm not
helping matters by bringing this up, but I'm sick of this kind of
hypocracy around here by certain people. Just grow up and treat
EVERYONE on this board with the same respect that you would have them
treat you, regardless of celebrity status or political opinion. Sigh.

Hey danny
My name is Erin Jones and I am the programming coordinator with a
small school in Virginia. We are interested in having you speak here.
I am just a bit baffled because we called Worldwide Talent (who i see
is listed on your website) and then another agent with Creative
Promotions. Both agents had the same first name (Ironically) but one
was A LOT cheaper than the other with regard to overall price? The guy
at Creative Promotions told me commissions are involved here and some
agency's are high and some are low. I just want to make sure you would
still be getting paid the same if I went with the cheaper guy (he also
stayed on the phone with me for 30 minutes versus the 2 that the more
expensive guy had for me!) Anyhow, I popped on here because your agent
gave me this URL and saw you were posting (which I think is awesome!).
Have a wonderful day! I will stop back on here later this afternoon.
~Erin Jones

Yeah i totally take the "things happen for a reason" stnadpoint with stuff as well. Maybe its just to make myself feel better about things or try and find some grounding in stuff that makes no sense, like you said, but i think that the effects of our decisions are often too powerful to ignore. Thats cool. I will totally check the book out (though i'm not much of a leader). the connector thing totally fits with this webboard alone. its cool that you thought about all that sutff. i think some people in your position would just be like "oh yeah i deserve this!"

Posted by Danny on 6/24/2003 at 12:39:57
IP: 12.242.162.217
There have been many positive results of me doing the show and
much of it makes no sense to me. However, I look at it from a spiritual
standpoint and believe that a higher power meant it all to be. I read a
book last year called "The Tipping Point" by Malcomlm Gladwell and it
really made all of this make sense. It's about how ideas are spread and
how people play different roles in the spread of ideas. The book made me
understand that i'm very much a "connector" or someone who brings people
together in relationships for the eventual spread of ideas. Read it if
you're interested in leadership especially.

It takes a couple seasons to get acclimated. Most people from
the South normally just stay inside if it rains because the sun will
be out the next day. If you have that mentality, the winters will
suck. It's light rain, never thunders, and you get to where it just
doesn't bother you. Plus we don't have all the flies, mosquito's and
bugs to deal with after rain. I think you just haven't been
acclimated, but guess each to his own. I just love my state.

beautiful mountains, liberal state and local government, and the
summers are beautiful! Even the winter isn't that bad if you like to

The reason I like the man.
Let me restate this but state it more clearly...I don't give a #### if
the man is pro-gay marriage or not.
I like the man because he's honest. The man speaks his mind, which is so
rare in politics these days. Yes, some of his ideas are a little radical
for most of America but the man isn't' even that radical. Maybe he's
just called that for being honest. The man just wants to get us back
into line with the rest of the developed world instead of roaming on our
own down the wrong road of separatism. So Jason, tell me again why i'm
so wrong for liking the man?

it's all due to my out of control metablolism. If I don't eat 8
times a day, i'll vanish.

I'm American. we eat all kinds of trash. We are the ones who
spread fast-food to all corners of the earth! This is not my usual but
the brownie was calling my name as I made coffee. I did have fresh fruit
with it so does that make it ok?

I hate when you post and it picks up a post that someone else was
posting at the same time.
Let me repeat what I said before it got crossed with Stoker's post.
Jason, You were so out of line before and I don't ever want to see
someone posting what you posted below. Who the hell are you to tell
people they're wrong for thier choices? You are no more right than they
are buddy.

Morning everyone including everybody's favorite little German
buddy.
So i'm much more enlightened now because I just read a post from Jason
below who says that Dean has absolutely no chance. Thanks for filling me
in on your educated response because I was wondering! I'm glad you know
so much so the rest of us aren't wasting our time!
Thanks Jason!

Pardon me for being new to this board ;) Look what beautiful
weather we have here in SEA today! It cracks me up that spring was so
hot (or comfortable for those of Georgan background) and the true
summer starts like this!
Did you get any interesting weekend activities in Danny? How about the
solstice parade over in the center of the universe (AKA Fremont)?
Cheers!- James
it's
not that early!
