I always know my week is going to start off well when I get the opportunity to attend the NOAGE Walking group on Monday.  Once a week, the New Orleans Advocates for LGBT Elders walks the track at Audubon Park starting at 6:45 p.m.  It’s not so hot in the evening and the park is just gorgeous.  Something about exercising in a beautiful environment that just … [Read more...] about Party Down July 2, 2019

Party Down June 4, 2019

Ever since I was a child, I have always loved summers in New Orleans. And as I have grown older, I still enjoy them, but I’ve married that with the much-needed love of air conditioning. During the summer months, I always feel like I am stepping into a Tennessee Williams play each time I leave my house. I have a new appreciation of hand fans and parasols. I do declare! But even … [Read more...] about Party Down June 4, 2019

It seems like forever since my last Under the Gaydar article but it has only been a few mere months. As you grow older, time becomes a much more precious commodity and life has a way demonstrating that in spades. I remember when I first approached Rip about writing a column for Ambush. I wanted to promote and covering the events both gay and straight in our city. Rip and … [Read more...] about Under the Gaydar

Community Spotlight As Ambush enters it’s new phase, I wanted to change some of the focus of this monthly column which used to focus the Bartender of the month. But I wanted to expand on my recognition of deserving individuals in this column.

Ambush on the Road: Discovering Natchez I cannot believe that I have lived in the South all my life and never been to Natchez, Mississippi. It was one of the places on my bucket list and now that I have been there, I plan on traveling there much more. Less than three hours form NOLA, this picturesque city on the bluff just celebrated its tricentennial last year. I spent a … [Read more...] about Under The Gaydar

Party Down This was another Mardi Gras for the memory book.  From the streets to the ballrooms, the city came alive with beads, boas and sequins.  It was a gay dream come true.  The week prior to Mardi Gras I spent either working or getting ready for the Krewe of Armeinius’ ball on Saturday night.  Many reasons made this year special starting with the fact that it was moved … [Read more...] about Under the Gaydar

I normally hit up all the tree … [Read more...] about Under the Gaydar
