We Love Soaps Podcast

The first podcast is done! I had so much fun sitting down with these two wonderful intelligent guys and talkin' soaps. Please give us a listen at WeLoveSoaps.net or "Welovesoaps" on iTunes and tell me what you think!

He Loves Soaps!

To my Should-less friends,

As promised a few weeks back, I have some very exciting news to share. Starting this week I will begin making regular contributions at WeLoveSoaps.net, a fun and fabulous daily-updated website that is dedicated to honoring the passionate soap loving fan. I will be getting an opportunity to do interviews and features which promise to deliver messages of hope, inspiration, and tools to survive life's challenges in this confusing world. And of course, there will be some juicy dirt too!

Starting July 7th, Roger Newcomb, Michael Goldberg and myself will begin producing a regular podcast which will feature news items, unique perspectives, and fascinating interviews with the stars on screen and those behind the camera. You know if I'm involved there will also be some heated debates and "should-less" ideas thrown into the mix. The links to the shows will be featured here, as well as on WeLoveSoaps.net.


My other big news is that I have a solid rough draft of the next book done, and will be using this column to test out some passages. The public comments and private e-mails I have received have helped me to find new ways to communicate and write about issues that are relevant and meaningful in daily lives, especially in relationships.

So please check back here during the week to read "should-less" tips, samples from the next book, and the back stories behind the features you can listen and read and WeLoveSoaps.net. And if I don't say it enough, thank you to EVERYONE who has been coming back and reading, I appreciate your patience!

Hetrick-Martin Institute!

Hey Folks! First of all I must thank the 8 wonderful readers of the this blog who check-in even when I'm not updating regularly. You rock! If you're brave enough, tell me who you are!

I am so honored to have been asked to be part of this event on Saturday, May 9, here in NYC. The Hetrick-Martin does tireless work every day to help gay youth choose a healthy should-less path in life. If you're in the area, please stop by!

Feeling Brandon's Buzz

Wow, I just caught "The Buzz" tonight, and it was Good! I had such a wonderful time talking with Brandon about living Should-less, improving your relationships, surviving the loss of your favorite soap, and ME!

Please press here to hear more. Or you can download it on iTunes by going to, "Brandon's Buzz."

Catching Brandon's Buzz

The good news of the day is that I have been booked as a guest on Brandon's Buzz, an internet talk show that discusses soaps, music, and tools for making it through this crazy world. We're taping on April 13th, but until then you can hear some past shows by pressing here. Or, if you have iTunes, just type in, "Brandon's Buzz".

The bad news of the day is that Guiding Light is still a goner. We'll be talking about the cancellation and how to use "should-less" ideas to cope with this and other losses.

Out Of Bounds!

On Thursday, March 12, I am honored to be a judge at the underwear contest for this Out of Bounds event, which will raise funds for The Trevor Project. Those who have read my book are aware that preventing teen suicide is a cause that is very personal to me, and The Trevor Project is doing a beautiful job providing counseling and support to troubled adolescents all over the country. If you're in the New York area, please consider coming by The Stonewall Bar at 7pm (53 Christopher St.) to say hi to me, grab a drink, stare at a model, and support a wonderful cause.

Feast of Miracles

Today you've witnessed miracles take place in the White House. Now it's time to clean up your own house. There are no excuses anymore. "I can't do it" is just not going to wash under an Obama Presidency. So please take some time to go to FeastofFools.net to listen to my conversation with Fausto Fernos and Marc Felion, and learn how to make the next four years count!

Should-less Bingo January 14th

If you're in the New York area, please come visit me and superstar Will Clark for his weekly round of Porno Bingo at Pieces Bar (8 Christopher Street) from 8pm - 10pm. All proceeds will benefit the Metropolitan Tennis Group. And who knows, you just might win a copy of Absolutely Should-less, or something bigger!

Feast of Fools !!

I am thrilled delighted and excited beyond belief that I will be talking with the boys at Feast of Fools next week. Stay tuned for the air date. For more information about this fabulous podcast, go to feastoffools.net.

Petting Zoo Show!

I am so excited about this show on Sunday, January 11th. I will definitely be there and hope that everyone in the New York area checks this out:

WHEN: Sunday, January 11th at 7pm for only $5!

WHERE: Arlene's Grocery - 85 Stanton Street (at 2cd ave exit on F Train)

WHAT: A concert benefit featuring local talents such as -- Quiet Loudly, Pet Ghost Project, Spainard, Bob Bordallo, Telltale, a whole host of artwork created right in front of you...and a few surprises!!

WHO: The Petting Zoo Player's Society is a loose collective of artists, musicians and other creative folks. They are a powerful dynamic community that creates shows called "the petting zoo" -- an ever-changing, always fun musical artistic extravaganza.

WHY: They are a non-profit organization whose mission is to end the destruction of healthy, adoptable pets. Too many animals are dying in shelters and rescues that are under-funded and over-crowded. They envision a world where there's enough space, money, and love for every animal -- even if "home" is a shelter. They are all about fun, inspiration, and making a difference!

Please come join me for this fun and talented group's first big event!!
