It’s official… I am moving to Georgia in early September to be a community intern at Koinonia Farm. A number of people have asked me what was going on and what this place really is so I asked my friend, collaborator, former landlord and Executive Director of Koinonia Bren Dubay to join me on the show. We discuss the history of the community as well as what I can expect life to be like...

Today in my pseudo series of the major players in my life in Houston, I present my Mom!  We talk about how Houston has changed over the past past 30 or so years, what it was like for her to have a gay son, and the story of my coming out to her.

Today I address the long awaited big news, and talk about where the wind will be carrying me for the next year or so. Listen up! Music: Take the ‘A’ Train – Jonathan and Darlene Bag Lady (I Wonder)- Ebn-Ozn You Mama You- Jude iTunes link other links: 50 Pound Note Koinonia Politipunk Remarkable Palate

Finally! Soundseeing of the gay pride parade here in Houston. I walked around with my good friend Carolyn Johnson, ran into an old friend, and just roamed my first gay pride parade in years since I dropped the “self-loathing homosexual” routine. Also, new music from Lanky and Bronski Beat’s classic gay anthem, Smalltown Boy.

Getting settled in with the new laptop, I apologize if you wound up with two versions of this show. This is a preview of some upcoming interviews, and some thoughts about my impending homelessness.

There are only a handful of people whom I feel have truly transformed me, many of them with just a sentence or two. Maybe with words that they had held with them for as long as they have walked on the earth, or maybe something that had no idea that they held with them. Who knows. Since these are my last couple of months in Houston, I felt that I wanted to track a few of these people down and have...
