To say that this year's illuminations weekend at The Woods Campgrounds in the Southern Poconos was a lost weekend for Occasionalfag Brian G. would be somewhat a misnomer.  Yes, he did spend the majority of the weekend inbibing in stiff drink, but he did so consciously as to see what this "lost weekend" stuff was really all about.  It was fun...  Just another thing.  Hasn't had a sip of the hooch since.  Really.

As for the lights and the men and the beautiful outdoors?  Well, the weekend would have gone better if Saturday evening hadn't turned to rain.  But then, what better than to snuggle with a hunny under a warm sleeping bag as the rain falls gently outside the tent.  No, you'll not be seeing that part.  This podcast is explicit, but not x-rated.  Who knows though.  Brian G. has always wanted to do something softcore and slightly dreamlike before he turns fifty (three years from now, thank you).  Finding someone to do it with - on video - is the problem, or not...

Enjoy!

For the past nine summers OccasionalFag Brian G. has been at the DRA (Dancers Responding to AIDS) Fire Island Dance Festival for a week of loading in, performances and the strike.  This year he decided to take a brake. 

While the monies earned by the festival that are distributed to AIDS service organizations around the country are more than enough motivation to continue donating his time to the event, he just wanted to spend a summer away from Fire Island and all it represents.

As he puts it, he sometimes feels too old to be young out on Fire island and too poor to be old out on Fire island.

He'll be back next year...  Older and perchance no wealthier, but distanced enough to feel longing again.

Though his visit to the Dance festival this time was brief, just a day to collect the images that are presented here instead of a whole week, it is better than nothing, yes?  Unfortunately his visit coincided with that of New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham, so the better perch from which to record the dancers was taken.  It is what it is...

Enjoy!
