The Weekend Heard Around the World


Well, okay heard around the streets of San Francisco! The GAYVNs have cum and gone, but not without embedding some great experiences into the brain of most who participated, I am sure. The GAYVN weekend, presented by NakedSword was so intense, I couldn't pull myself away to give you a blow-by-blow. However,I will try to recreate it all for you now...well, at least the parts that you will give a damn about.

Friday is when most of the models made it to town, and they wasted no time taking over the Castro bars/clubs with a of tailgate parties. I made it to a few and spent some time with the models of Jet Set Men at The Mix Bar, Raging Stallion Studios at the Edge, Falcon Studios at Q Bar, and Hot House Entertainment at Lookout. It was great to see the guys who don't live in San Francisco but I have come to know from periodic visits to shoot a new video, like Mike Dreyden of Raging Stallions, The Jarics of Falcon Studios, and Chad Manning of Titan.

At my house bar, the Mix, the Jets Set Men Marcus Steele, David Dakota (Best Newcomer nominee @ 2009 GAYVN ), Adam Campbell, and Trevor Knight (Best Supporting Actor nominee @ 2009 GAYVN) were on hand and showed their asses off.












Traveling with Unzipped Magazine we were surprised with a visit and performance by Long Beach Diva Jewels. She performed Wendy Ho's Fuck Me When You Can and brought the house down.



Jewels with SF Bare Chest Calendar model Jason Hennin. As the song goes "...you can fuck me from behind".





Falcon Studios Exclusive TJ Hawke, and "new daddy", showed us how he can bust a move not only in bed but on the dancefloor when he go-go'd at Q Bar. TJ is really a sweetheart.














But things really got started at the Hot House tailgate party at Lookout. Eventually all the porn houses were there and the line went around the block to get in. My BFF Sister Roma (NakedSword's Tim & Roma Show) hosted the party and all the Hot House boys and crew were in full force. I even made a few bucks jumpin' on the go-go box shakin' my bum bum. It was also the birthday celebration of Damian Rios. As I led a gaggle of boys through a chorus of Happy Birthday in Lookout's VIP area, Damian's new beau Chad Manning looked on with that smile, as if to say, this ain't nothing compared to the celebration we will have when we get home. One can only imagine!

But the real highlight was spending most of the tailgate festivites with the latest in the Raging Stallion stable of models, Ethan Roberts, whose first video with RSS hit stands that very day, High Tops. the latest Ben Leon directed video starring RSS Exclusive Damien Crosse and including RSS Exclusives Damian Rios and Tristan Jaxx, and Conner Habib. Watch out for Ethan's solo performance in the laundry room. It made me have to do my laundry when it wasn't even laundry day!

Then it was off to Saturday. It was awards day, but not before the team at NakedSword and the Tim & Roma Show put on a stellar brunch at Lookout in the Castro with breakfast pizzas and interviews with nominees.
















Accompanied by my newbie Ethan Roberts, I worked the red carpet (eventhough it was blue) for AVN makin sure that the photo ops were not missed by the nominees and celebs. but of course I was upstanded by the nun with feathers, Sister Roma, as she did a plethera of interviews before they went inside the Castro Theater.

Janice Dickinson, Alec Mapa, and Margaret Cho provided great entertainment but the show was centered around the BIG winners of the night Raging Stallion Studios and their models with 16 trophies on the night. As you know, I made some predictions on the night's winners, so let's see how I did:

"BEBE PICKS 6 OF 12 GAYVN AWARD WINNERS"


50 percent ain't too bad....right?



Of course the show had it's controversies with some saying that Raging Stallion was a big winner because of some biases with NakedSword's recent purchase of the studio. Can you say "bullshit", and I quote!
Michael Lucas ran up on stage after one of Brent Corrigan's multiple wins to say...."shame on those who nominated him"...supposedly making an allegation that Brent was under age during the making of his video. Brent promised to give me an interview to clear all that mess up. So stay tuned

....And of course there was an after party of after parties at the hottest San Francisco club right now Wunderland. What a way to end an AMAZING Weekend! Thank you NakedSword and AVN.

"It's Nobody's Business" Says Wolf Hudson


I received a great and unexpected text today from my friend Grabby Awards Co-Host Wolf Hudson, 3-time nominee at this year's GAYVN Awards including Best Performer of the Year, and we made arrangements to spend some time to chat during his visit to attend the GAYVNs this weekend. After trading text messages, I paid a visit to Wolf's blog site, www.wolfhudsonxxx.blogspot.com, which I hadn't done in sometime and discovered his latest youtube vlog talking about his sexuality, or rather, not talking about his sexuality. Wolf and I have been friends since his arrival to San Francisco a couple of years ago, and continue our friendship since his move to LA, and I have known about his dislike of the term "gay-for-pay" for quite some time. I, myself, knowing this have asked him about the term in an interview, but I have never asked him about or criticized him about his sexuality. Wolf is what I have called the Triple Threat in the adult film industry, with work in gay porn, straight porn, and kink films. Come on, let's face it. It's all fantasy. I don't care what the true sexuality of the models are when I am watching porn on video or on the internet. As long as they are good at helping me live out my fantasy at the moment, I don't honestly give a damn. We will give accolades to a straight actor for playing a gay man in a commercial movie to the point of rewarding him with the highest honor in his field, the Academy Award, but we can't view models in the porn industry with the same mindset. So, I stand up on the theater chair and appplaud you Wolf for your great body of work, and go on record to say that I will never ask you about your sexuality because
"It's just not any of my business"

Luke Cassidy Not Just A Web Star

I ran into Luke Cassidy at Dominic Pacifico's ,aka DJ Pornstar or DJ Adrian Taylor, club night called Double Vision in the Castro at Lookout. While I was munchin' on cheese pizza from neighboring Thick 'n Thin Pizza and drinking a scrumptious BeBe Lemonade by Ciroc, I chatted a bit with Luke. Luke is nominated for Best Web Performer at this year's GAYVN Awards. Luke recently opted out of his exclusivity with Hot House Entertainment and is freelancing out with other studios. He is workng on a project with Falcon Studios, he told me. Without being real specific, Luke alluded that things at Hot House were not that bliss, but he missed some good friends he had developend while there like Sister Roma, and photo director Barry Muniz. During all the GAYVN hoopla, he will be apart of the Hot House clan, however. I guess that is because he is nominated under their studio work with Hot House's website Backroom, where Luke has hot scenes with Damian Rios, Dominc Pacifico, and others. Luke expressed he will not be exclusive with another studio anytime soon, and I think we can look forward to seeing him in a variety of work from a variety of studios until he finds another permanent home.
