Julius Tavern, a favorite haunt of Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote, has been closed temporarily, by the board of health and mental hygiene. Here’s the sign:

It looks like it was closed last night, our early morning tippler tipster tells us.

The tavern on West 10th Street dates back to around 1867 and has been a gay watering hole since at least the 1960s. Significant in the struggle for Gay Liberation, Julius was the site of a “Sip-in” by The Mattachine Society which later precipitated a court ruling that gays had a right to peacefully assemble.

In the early 1970s, scenes from the film Boys in the Band were filmed there.

The bar was closed briefly, back in 2007 for non-payment of taxes, according to Eater.com.

There is a second sign in the window, handwritten:

Hopefully this landmark of both NYC and LGBT history will be up and running soon.

Hockey Player Scores with Surf Boarder
Max loves the way his pal, Kyle dresses up in his hockey helmet, jock, hockey shorts and sweaty jock. It makes his fat uncut cock perk up and drip precum. They trade long sloppy blowjobs rubbing neoprene against hot smooth skin. Soon he’s begging to be assraped by Kyle’s fat Irish cock! Not long later, the cum covered duo begin to lick each other clean!

As always people are mixture of nonplussed and weirded out. No tightey whiteys, fellas? One girl muttering “What the Fuck?” Little old ladies being very freaked. Stupendous.

Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York: has got to be one of my favoritest blogs in all the world. Original reportage, photos and interviews.

In this post he talks about the lost porno theatre he found below a gift shop in Times Square.

The screen is torn. The ceiling is falling. In chairs that once held untold sticky fantasies and acts performed in flickering cinema light, now sit stacks of “I Heart NY” T-shirts.

Much props to you Jeremiah.

J Rock, a welder here in New York, shows off his massive nine inch toolbar, while telling us all about his sexcapades in the Big Apple and beyond. He’s ‘insatiable’ too, jerking his huge boner five times a day. Watch as he works his shaft ’til he shoots a load right at the camera.

It looks like the Garden State could be getting a little greener. This week the New Jersey legislature passed a bill legalizing medicinal marijuana, and if outgoing Gov. Jon Corzine signs it before leaving office next week — as he said he “absolutely” will — NJ will become the 14th state to allow smoking dope with a note from your doctor.

But before you OCD tokers and acid-reflux tea heads start looking to for your own Dr. Feelgood by The Shore, note that (unlike, say, California) it’s only approved for a very short list of very sick people — those “whose prognosis gives them less than a year to live, or those with specific symptoms resulting from certain diseases, such as AIDS and cancer.” At least now those who most need weed in NJ can now how it, next let’s work on getting it for the rest of us!

Jay Reatard is dead. That may not mean shit to most of the world, but to the lucky ones who ever caught Mr. Reatard (known to his parents as Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr.) rocking the fuck out of a packed club, it is a sad day indeed. In an era ruled by over-hyped flavor-of-the-minute blog bullshit indie bands, Reatard’s lo-fi, quirky and enthusiastically sloppy garage-punk somehow reeked authenticity like a Ziploc bag of kind bud in the back of a cop car.

He died Wednesday morning while sleeping in his Memphis house; the (totally unsubstantiated!) text I got from a friend blamed “a mix of coke and pills” but friends say Jay had been complaining about flu-like symptoms. Either way, 29 prolific years were not enough for a gifted performer who had countless releases to his name, including his first with NYC’s Matador Records last August. For a small sliver of his music, check out the Jay Reatard MySpace page.

What the hell is a “hetero-friendly” hotel? Apparently it’s the clever tagline used by Spanish hotel group Axel Hotels for its chain of gay-themed five-star hotels, which is planning to open its first NYC outpost sometime next year. Axel development director Renate Siebenhofer raves that the Big Apple branch will fit in perfectly with other Axel locations in Barcelona, Berlin, and Buenos Aires. “We are pleased to inform you that we have been able to identify a site in New York we consider spot-on for our group: The Axel Hotel New York will be located in Hell’s Kitchen and is slated to open its doors to the public in spring 2011,” says Siebenhofer. One cheeky perk: Axel guests can choose the appropriate sign to put on their door: the typical “Do Not Disturb” sign or the much more fun “Please Disturb.”

Cain, Duke and Hollywood get so turned on by Jennatonic that they all get naked with their hard cocks poking out a salute. 3 guys and FOUR loads of cum spray all over their chests and each other. Cain even comes twice, on his own face and then shoots it across the room onto Hollywood’s nutsac. Wait till you see these trailer park boys in this cocktackular boyfest!

Spotted this the other day. Insurance for your animal companions in the event of the Rapture. The service is run by moral/ethical atheists who, for a fee of $110, will go get your pet if you get raptured in the next ten years and place them with an adoptive moral/ethical atheist family.

According to the contract if the rapture does not occur within ten years, then they’re off the hook.  And if the Rapture does occur and you’re stuck here, well that’s your own damned fault, sinnerface. Check it out, they have a CafePress store!

The next best thing to pet salvation in a Post Rapture World

You’ve committed your life to Jesus. You know you’re saved. But when the Rapture comes what’s to become of your loving pets who are left behind?   Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

From the FAQ

Q: When the Rapture occurs, how long before my pet is rescued?
A: The timing is contingent on the number of subscribers we have in each state/region and travel distance. Our rescuers know that this is a time sensitive service. Pets’ lives are at stake. We will limit the number of subscribers in each zone so that any given rescuer will not be over burdened. Naturally, we must anticipate that there will be widespread chaos and confusion immediately following the Rapture that could impact travel times. Thus, we are targeting a maximum of between 18- 24 hours from realization of the Rapture, to animal rescue.

The traffic on the GW is hell during every cataclysmic biblical event. I’d feel better if I knew these people were vegetarians, you know, in case food got scarce.
