Homophobe of the Month Award!!!

I am introducing this new post category because it became necessary. From now on, I will not only tell you where to go, I will also tell you where NOT to go.

Why?

Because some will have earned the homophobe of the month award.

I like to think of these people as dinosaurs on the verge of extinction. Right now, we are approaching the time when we will only be able to see their more or less well preserved bones in archaeological museums. Some of them, are still with us, and it is about time to mark them just to keep track of just how many individuals of this almost extinct specie we STILL have to deal with.


Now, I always thought people loose absolutely all their otherwise everyday discriminative practices when they are involved in tourism business. Naively thinking, in capitalism, everybody's money is equal.

Seems like that is not the case.

I know that nothing is like getting your own taste of the dirt so here you go, a mofo QUOTE!!!!:

'...hey VANITY!

ii checked your blog "awaywithhthefaireis". It is more than charming n soooo your glamourous style! Although, I hardly think that the topics are really concerning mainstream tourism, sightseeing and travel spots. So, I would remove the link from Bebop wall, if you dont take such an act as a daylight offence....'


(BEBOP HOSTEL management)


I AM OFFENDED!!!!


If noone else is, I am offended for you all---I am the Christ of offense! 


Damn right I am. And you should also reconsider the way how you run your business. 


Now, some may call me paranoid and over-reacting, and I will strike down the first person who says that outloud.
Still, you do not even have to read between the lines to see that this says: SORRY, WE DO NOT WANT YOUR GAY MONEY.




Here is the name and address of this hostel in large and bold:


BEBOP HOSTEL
1082 Budapest

Üllői út 46



Do tell your friends that Bebop hostel needs to remove the link to my gay blog not because it sucks dick(its full of typos and syntax errors, or is ill-informed), but because it tells people where to go to suck dicks.

Razzle Dazzle Meltdown!

Szkafander is a fine series of parties. Unlike for instance Confetti or Ösztrosokk, Szkafander's 
parties are actually known to present a rather decent level of audio entertainment. It is indeed a matter of taste, and I will always highlight it, but a party that only has straight edge mainstream music booming from the speakers is a lame party. I know it can be fun from time to time, and I will strike down the first person who ostracises me for loving Britney, however, I still prefer a party that does not try to entertain with music you can usually hear on the radio and basically everywhere you go. Right? Maybe I am just too demanding, but that is the way I roll (I am sure you wanted to know this). In all cases, I am bound to report about all sorts of events, and eventhough I myself am not necessarily entertained, I do not deny you the possibility that you might be. Ok?

I am glad we got this out of our system.


Anyway, by now I really really hope they will not dissapoint me, even though that can hardly happen since it will be DJ MINEK behind the turntables. That usually means that my level of being entertained is on a decent level, as MINEK has fine ears for techno electro, minimal and dance.


The flyer says:


Straight friendly gay clubbing


and that is just wonderful. Why? Because Budapest is known to have a vast array of gay parties which are actally quite secluded. That makes sense one certain levels. Safety being one major one, and also, providing platforms for developing and maintaining a scene is another strong argument pro secluded parties. And they are more arguments, and these are all valid points. On other levels, LGBQT population does not only socialise within the LGBQT population, and it is nice when you can party with your straight friends as well. Isnt it? Szkafander thought of that.


WHEN: JUNE 10th

WHERE: Pantlika, Varosliget.

How to get there (taken from http://szkafander.blog.hu/):

Transport: metro 1 "Széchenyi Fürdő" 7 minutes walk (last train from Oktogon: 23:38pm) | Tramway 1 and 1A "Erzsébet királyné útja" 3 minutes walk (last tram arrives here at: 23:27pm) | Trolley buses: 72 (last from "Arany János M3" 23:42pm) and 74 (last from "Astoria M2" at 23.21pm) | Night buses: 901, 907, 937, 973, 979 see map: http://www.bkv.hu/ftp/terkepek/ejszakai.jpg more info on BKV webpage.


There is no dress code and no entrance fee (which is usually not the case with szkafander parties)

If u are not yet convinced, I know it for a fact that the place will be packed with young hotties of all sexes alike. Take my word for it. Please complain if you think I was wrong, and I will see what I can do.

Damn fine...!

Remember this?



Nothing like a great cup of black coffee...Damn good coffee, and hot! Are you in the coffee mood yet?
I already had two this morning. I do not drink it straight black though. I drink it with just a little bit of cold milk and no sugar (I am sure you really wanted to know this...)

The place I will try to turn your attention to is nothing like the one from the 90s TV show, and there are no Dale Coopers sipping it like it was the blood of Christ. Sadly. Even though it is located on the downtown, the place is not your usual tourist trap, and you can find a harmonious cocktail of local LGQBT audience and tourists who got there just cause they liked the idea of sipping something under the sun. Often I do not think they get it all that they are sitting in a gay-bar. But that is the final goal, isnt it? Sometime in the future hopefully this seclusion will not be necessary.
 



Anyway, to tell you the absolute truth, I have had better coffees many times before, but for some reason I will still go there and have a moderately good coffee and sit there for the atmosphere than go to some dark and unfriendly place where they serve Illy coffee. I can confidently say that as an avid coffee drinker who does not take just any black liquid. The lady who works there, Erika, she knows just how I like it. Not only that - she gives me extra dark chocolate coated coffee beans treat. I am one spoiled customer.
