CAFS CHP3
Updated 6/5/2009

All of chapter 3 is now online. You find out what Beef Matson finds in his search for hidden mobster rooms, you learn all about the "creature" and much more. There's some interesting color illustrations and a comic strip version of part of the chapter as well!


The masculine San Francisco gay detective who sleeps with a teddy bear is back in a new adventure called "Catch A Falling Star" which is a prequel to "A Person In A Position Of Trust". This adventure has a science fiction theme and has our detective hero involved with political intrigue, mysterious murders and a journey on a luxury trans continental train.

CHAPTER 2 - GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL.

CHAPTER 1 - THE REINDEER MAN


Since it's basically a Christmas story, A PERSON IN A POSITION OF TRUST will make a good read for the Christmas season. In this story, none of the gay characters die, in fact many of them become "not dead".


Beef Matson, A PERSON IN A POSITION OF TRUST previous chapters:
Chapter 11, It Came Upon A Midnight Queer
Chapter 10, Just My Funny Way Of Laughin'.
Chapter 9,
Faithful Friends Who Are Dear To Us Gather Near To Us Once More. The last section of chapter 9 is actually part of chapter 7 as seen from a different point of view.

Just a note to let everyone know, my paintings are NOT computer generated images. I do my paintings the traditional way, by hand and start with a pencil sketch and work my way to the finished painting. So what you are getting is a product of my skill and not a software program.

 

Notes

A Passing:  Richard Harold of Asbury Park, New Jersey.  Richard Harold (he preferred to call him Rick) was of my internet buddies that I knew the longest, probably since I first accessed the internet.  I think Rick originally sent me an email to compliment me on one of my paintings he saw on the net.  Rick was a veteran of World War II and lived in New York City after the war.  He sent me many interesting tales of both WWII and NYC of the 1950s.  He told me of being wounded in France and being sent to a hospital to recover, missing a battle in which many of his comrades were killed.  Rick also told me of the show people  he had come to know of the 1950s Broadway era.  He also told me how proud he was to march in the first gay pride parade in New York City.  Rick was also very proud of his family, his parents, his brothers and sister and their children and would frequently send me photos of them.  I kept prodding Rick to write down and record his memories because they were priceless - but he wasn't interested. 

Right up to the very end, Rick was concerned with gay rights issues and issues of the common man (which are now called Progressive isses)and he would send out emails regarding a current issue  that concerned him.  He'd also send out emails of a lighter nature, photos of a man he thought was particularly sexy or humourous emails, or simply those emails to wish others well.
Richard Harold
Dick (Rick) Harold at Camp Hood in 1946. Rick was the cute little guy back then, wasn't he?
I would make sure Rick would get a package of Rick Chris goodies for holidays, especially Christmas.  Rick seemed to really enjoy those surprises.  Rick lived on the 10th floor high rise for seniors in Asbury Park.  He used to enjoy watching the pride parade in Asbury Park from his windows - that is, until the route was moved and his view was blocked.  So sneaky little me, made some contacts in 2009 and arranged for someone, another gay  WWII vet, to take Rick to the parade.  However, Rick turned down my offer, he wasn't getting around very well any more and preferred to not to make the trip down to the parade.

I will most surely miss Rick and getting his daily emails.  Whether he knew it or not, Rick taught me that while we grow older on the outside, we never stop being young on the inside.  I only wish Rick had not been so stubborn and would have agreed to my suggestions that he record some of this wonderful memories in writing so that others could share them.

Richard Harold passed away on July 17th and in accordance with his wishes, he was cremated and his ashes were sent to Gates, New York to be buried with his mother and dad. A graveside service will be held during the first week of August.

To view Richard's obituary and a beautiful slide show, click here.

A Passing:  I recently found out that Dennis Aiello of New Rochelle, New York had passed on suddenly and unexpectedly  in June.  Dennis was one of those people who would send out funny and/or spirit lifing emails that would brighten your day.  Dennis also liked Halloween, I remember photos he would send of costumes he and his friends wore to costume parties.  He will very much be missed.

An Arrival:  Congratulations to Chris and Michael in Illinois on the arrival of their new son, Nathaniel.  Best of luck to you guys and I'm sure Nathaniel has the best two daddies in the whole wide world.

Filthy Fifties Frisco: The Art of Fogtown by Bradley C. Rader

Four years after his debut show (THE LEGEND OF HARRY & DICKLESS TOM: Original Comic Book Art Work -
October - November 2006), Emmy award winning animation artist/director Brad Rader returns to Flazh!Alley Art Studio to celebrate the release of his latest book, the 171 page graphic novel, FOGTOWN (DC/Vertigo, August 10, 2010) written by Andersen Gabrych.
Paraphrasing the author, FOGTOWN is a raw, ugly, and explicitly human pulp/noir detective series, set in the ferociously filthy underworld of ‘50’s San Francisco. It follows the seamy temptations, damnations, and redemptions of Frank Grissel, P.I., an aging, hard-living, and morally ambiguous detective in the Mike Hammer/Sam Spade tradition…who “just happens” to be a pier-trawling, deeply closeted homosexual.
filthyfiftiesfrisco

Brad Rader’s original artwork from pages of his book, drawn in black and white pen and ink, comprise the show.  Stylistically, the Alaska born artist emulates the comic book artwork of the 1950’s with influence of Russ Heath and E.C. Comics artists Jack Davis and Wally Wood.

An Emmy Award winning animation artist and director, Brad Rader has served as storyboard artist on many animated series including The Real Ghostbusters, Alf, Batman, Gargoyles, Stripperella and most recently, King of the Hill. He has directed several series, including HBO’s Spawn, for which he won an Emmy award (1999).  He has illustrated the comic books Batman Adventures, and Catwoman  (DC Comics); The Mark (Dark Horse Comics); and Tex: The Fine Art of Character Assassination (Atomic Basement).  A graduate of Art Center College of Design (illustration), Mr. Rader returned to his alma mater and to Otis/Parsons to teach storyboarding. His art has been exhibited in galleries in the United States as well as internationally.

The only public receptions and book signings will be on San Pedro's 1st Thursdays Art Walk Nights, August 5 and September 2, 2010 from 7-11 PM ADULTS ONLY (18 and over) "Filthy Fifties Frisco" can also be seen by appointment. Please call, 310.833.3633 or flazhalley@aol.com

Flazh!Alley Art Studio is located at 1113 S. Pacific Ave., Suite B, San Pedro, CA. Park in the large city parking lot behind the Ramona Bakery at Pacific & 11th Street. Enter Flazh!Alley from the alley, of course.

The Mormon Proposition

An article about the recent suicide of a young man that was originally signed up to be interviewed for the film. Click here.

MormonPropbanner
Director Reed Cowan initially planned on making a documentary about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah but soon realized that the homophobia that prompts otherwise loving parents to kick teenagers out of their homes is deep-seated in current Mormon ideology. Cowan, with his fellow filmmakers, experienced first-hand what it was like to grow up gay in Utah in the Mormon faith, then turned their attention to the historic campaign by the Mormon Church to pass Proposition 8 in California believing that it was the cornerstone of an ideology that has worked for decades to damage gay people and their causes. The film is their emotional outcry to what they found.

Stonewall Uprising

"And if we catch you with a homosexual, your life will be a living hell! And you will be caught! Don't think you won't be caught!"

A film by Kate Davis and David Heilbroner

"It was the Rosa Parks moment," says one man.  June 28, 1969: NYC police raid a Greenwich Village Mafia-run gay bar, The Stonewall Inn. For the first time, patrons refuse to be led into paddy wagons, setting off a 3-day riot that launches the Gay Rights Movement. Told by Stonewall patrons, Village Voice reporters and the cop who led  the raid, STONEWALL UPRISING compellingly recalls the bad old days when psychoanalysts equated  homosexuality with mental illness and advised aversion therapy, and even lobotomies; public service  announcements warned youngsters against predatory homosexuals; and police entrapment was rampant.  
 
A treasure-trove of archival footage gives life to this all-too-recent reality, a time when Mike Wallace announced  on a 1966 CBS Reports: "The average homosexual, if there be such, is promiscuous.  He is not interested in, nor
capable of, a lasting relationship like that of a heterosexual marriage."  At the height of this oppression, the cops  raid Stonewall, triggering nights of pandemonium with tear gas, billy clubs and a small army of tactical police.  The rest is history.

Peter Wolfe - A New Novel By Gerald Libonati

Peter Wolfe is a new novel by writer Gerald Libonati.  Mr. Libonati is currently working at Tribune's Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale where he has won six awards for features.  Before that he was at the Miami Herald.  He has also written for the Advocate and numerous gay/lesbian newspapers around the United States.

Mr. Libonati writes: "In addition to Peter Wolfe, I wrote “The Adjuster” about a cocky, modern gay artist who goes back in time before Stonewall. That’ll raise a few eyebrows.  And,“The Artist’s Life” about a guy from a small town who moves to glitzy South Beach, Miami. Talk about culture shock."

Quotes from Gerald Libonati:
“Initially, I started writing because there were very few positive images about gay men and lesbian women. Most of the information gathered and published about homosexuality before the 60s was taken from interviews with prisoners and mental patients.”

“I like taking a popular fantasy and turning it into a story.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to hook up with a famous rock star?”

libonati
Gerald Libonati
"Rock star Peter Wolfe, has fame but wants love.  He is ditching his trademark sunglasses and washing the mousse from his hair. He’s convinced the only way to meet Mr. Right is to pretend he’s just another guy. Peter sets out to find a boyfriend who isn’t after his money; awed by his star-status or looking for a ride to the top.  He thinks it will be easy but quickly discovers that the world outside the tour bus is a lot more complicated than he expected.  When personalities clash in a real world romance, Peter realizes that if he’s going to succeed, he’ll have to take a long hard look at his expectations, his assumptions about himself and his perceptions of others."   (Names and people in this novel are fictional and do not portray anyone living or dead.)

Out Radio

Out Radio is a production of JD Doyle. You can find links on the Out Radio site to his other radio shows as well as an email link to JD.
www.outradio.com

JD Doyle writes:

"I'm very pleased to announce that I've started a new radio show, called OutRadio. This is a companion show to Queer Music Heritage, and like QMH it will be a monthly multi-part show, but it will focus on new and recent music by GLBT artists. There is just so much new music I want to share and this will be my way to do that. It starts at www.OutRadio.com."


Queer Music Heritage and Out Radio host, JD Doyle

JD Doyle writes: OutRadio for July’s three hours start off with some dance (Jason Antone, Brian Kent, Ernest Kohl), then goes into a Gay American Idol set, and lots of directions from there. But I’m particularly psyched about Part 3, which I call “These Instrumentals Are Gay,” as I don’t pay enough attention to the instrumentals (in this case electronica) done by our GLBT musicians.

OutRadio for July: Interviews and More:   http://www.queermusicheritage.com/outjul10.html

Out Radio is a new show produced by JD Doyle in addition to his Queer Music Heritage shows.

QUEER MUSIC HERITAGE

Queer Music Heritage For July - The Sonia & Disappear Interview

JD Doyle writes: "I'm very pleased this month to bring you a special two-hour career interview with SONiA. SONiA Rutstein and her sister Cindy Frank released their first album as Disappear Fear in 1988, and in various incarnations twelve more albums followed over the years. We start off with her new album “Blood, Bones & Baltimore,” which is a visit to Blues Americana and a delight. And my site features an extensive gallery of her recordings."
 

You can stream or download the show anytime at http://www.queermusicheritage.com/jul2010.html

Co-producer of Audiofile, the monthly radio review of CDs of interest to the GLBT communities, airing on over 175 stations around the world on This Way Out.
The Audiofile site is at www.Audiofile.org and all past Audiofile segments are archived at http://www.queermusicheritage.com/af.html
Also co-host of Queer Voices on KPFT, Monday nights from 9-11 pm, www.kpft.org and at MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/jddoyle

Rick Chris very much recommends the Queer Music Heritage web site. If you are at all into music and would like to see how much gay performers have contributed to the music scene over the years, this site is a MUST SEE. For those of us who love music, JD Doyle has catalogued an incredible amount of information on gay artists and albums including some incredible rare stuff. A fun site to visit and JD has done a great service for the gay community by preserving the history and memory of these artists and recordings. QMH is also a radio show on KPFT radio in Houston, Texas and is also netcast. JD writes:

"Queer Music Heritage" is both a radio show and a website, and the goal of both is to preserve and share the music of our culture, because I just don't think gay & lesbian music of the past should be forgotten. I also believe our music culture is a visual as well as an audial experience, so I try to share the images of this music…photos of the artists and recordings, and to pack in as much information as possible, while still trying to entertain.

There are also many extra sections, such as a page of Gay Marriage Songs (with free downloads), a page of songs about Matthew Shepard, a section on Gay Musicals, lots of info about drag artists, a page listing songs about AIDS, etc, etc."

Take Back Pride
In response to the current political environment and in the interest of unifying the work of LGBT Organizations around the country, Take Back Pride is a new campaign aimed towards educating our community and the citizens of the United States on the many inequalities we currently face.
