They say that all things must come to an end.On Wednesday, All Axs, in Willoughby, announced that they would be closing their doors to the public. This comes at just over a year from their opening and since I wrote my first review of them. They became a cornerstone to the LGBTQ east side community … Continue reading A Farewell to All Axs
Manic Music Monday
I think it is important to be mindful of our LGBTQ community in all its aspects. In the past I have done a few posts on Queer music and feel it might be time to add to that list, again. I have touched on dance, pop, and even punk, I think with this we are … Continue reading Manic Music Monday
Glam Gore Queens
I wanted to get my blog back to the original vision I had for it, reviewing LGBTQ culture/community/venues/places in the CLE. Last night, my friends and I ventured to Coventry to check out the Grog Shop and watch Glam Gore, hosted by Anhedonia Delight. This is my first time at both Glam Gore and the … Continue reading Glam Gore Queens
Civic Duty
Are you registered to vote? I know you are probably thinking that I have lost my mind asking this so early in the year. But it is important to know if you are, especially since last year Cuyahoga expunged a large amount of people from the voter rolls. So you really should know your status … Continue reading Civic Duty
Sleepy Hollow Get-A-Way

We visited the town of Sleep Hollow, the Kykuit Manson, and the graveyard in Sleepy Hollow. We also took in a live … Continue reading Sleepy Hollow Get-A-Way

Lakeview Cemetery
One of my most favorite places in Cleveland, by far, is Lakeview Cemetery. Some count it as touristy with all of the famous people buried there. And it’s true, with people like James A. Garfield, Elliot Ness, Zelma George, Flora Stone Mather, and John D. Rockefeller, it does attract many people just looking to grab … Continue reading Lakeview Cemetery
Birthday Musings
With tomorrow being my birthday, I sit here and look back on what I have seen and experienced. June 1973 was when the Upstairs Lounge was set on fire and killed 32 people. At the time it was the largest mass killing of LGBTQ people. In the month of August, the first major LGBT event … Continue reading Birthday Musings
Asian Lantern Festival August 2019
This year I got to go back to the Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The lanterns were as awesome as last year but they were all new exhibits. It was as amazing as it was last year and the crowds seemed to be more mindful of photographers this year. Being 6'4 and … Continue reading Asian Lantern Festival August 2019
