What with Marriage Equality so under attack, we've all been so busy acting up, fighting back!

To recharge our souls and spirits, theoccasionalfags travel just one hour north of the George Washington Bridge to take in the Storm King Art Center: an outdoor art museum mostly dedicated to monumental sculpture and earthworks.

When it comes to talking about the art, please forgive Brian G. his ramblings.  We all know that he is no Sister Wendy, and never will be.

It was a beautiful day and there was no better way to spend it.

Enjoy!

Is there anything quite so fluffy as OccasionalFag Brian G.'s Fire Island Diaries?

We think not, but we also refuse to stop presenting them.

Why?

Because they, like Fire Island itself, are there, and that is Love, Valour and Compassion enough.

Enjoy!

OccasionalFags David b and Brian G. have a delightful First Monday chat about the origins of the First Monday chat.
