Two Cents: Action, Influence & Gloria

My second ‘Two Cents‘ event at the Center was a big hit. Guest Rick-y Walker - Ophelia Later – gave everyone, me included, an entirely new perspective on how one’s actions absolutely influence more action. Ophelia has been a well-known drag personality in the local community for almost two decades and when Ricky talked about how... »

Two Cents: “Tea”totalers in the Desert

Yes, I spelled it correctly…sort of. And, since revelers who would be attracted to a certain big to-do in Palm Springs over White Party weekend won’t be abstaining from adult libations in the least, ‘Tea’totalers seems quite a fitting descriptive. Several months ago, I mentioned in this very column some news of an ‘uber-exclusive’ event... »

Two Cents Exclusive with NOH8 Campaign Founder Adam Bouska

A couple of weeks ago, I left my usual evening post at the Center’s front desk for an hour and braved one of the city’s most torrential down pours in years to attend the official San Diego NOH8 Campaign photo shoot, held at the Mission Gathering offices in Hillcrest. Wading through water up to... »

Two Cents: Pride, Pug Love & Grace Jones

As many community members embark on protests, pickets and boycotts of San Diego Pride, it got me thinking about what ‘pride’ actually means. The word itself is a testament, a powerful symbol of the main principles in its definition: pride: noun. 1. a high or inordinate opinion of one’s own dignity, importance, merit or superiority,... »

Two Cents: My Debut with Joseph Rocha

On Tuesday, January 19, about 60 people braved the chilly, wet winds, left their beloved prime time TV shows to the DVR and joined me at The Center for the debut Two Cents w/Aaron Heier – this very column’s namesake event. A new monthly addition to Men @ The Center’s programming, Two Cents is an... »

Two Cents: Holiday Procrastination & Giving Back

I’m stoked for the holidays – no, ecstatic is more like it. But not in the traditional Christmas muzak, egg nog, ugly sweater, fruit cake sense. I’m more the collecting Toys for Tots, serving Christmas dinner to the homeless, Holiday charitable donation, giving back type. I’ve never been big on gift exchanges with friends,... »

Two Cents: Stingaree Gets Gagafied & Rich’s Gets Grinched

Who would have thought that after spending an entire weekend up and down a ladder hanging holiday lights for the ‘rents, I’d be in the mood for any further jolly & joy. I can’t help it, the holiday spirit has bit me, big time. And, I can’t wait to help collect toys, deliver food... »

Two Cents: Kudos, Honoring Harvey & ‘Discovering’ SD

Still recovering from Thanksgiving’s caloric coma, I’ve dragged myself back behind the keyboard to share with you some tid-bits and insider ‘deets’ happening in the ‘gayborhood’ . First, I’m elated. Yesterday’s Scott Carlson Annual LGBT Community Thanksgiving Dinner was an inspiring and humbling experience. I worked the serving line with both new and old friends,... »

Two Cents: Lady Gaga, White Party & Crabs

I’ve spent a great deal of time this past week toiling over my Two Cents content, second guessing my posts, articles and inclusions on GLTNewsNow, wondering if what I provide to you (the readers) is of interest, informative, valuable or, even, at all entertaining. Then, like a light switch, it hit me! The very... »
