I’m finally on a plane home to Providence after a long Memorial Day weekend in Chicago where the Grabbys and IML were the big highligts.

But the weekend started on Thursday when my good friend Ricky Sinz picked me up at the airport for what was about to be seriously one of the busiest weekends ever. There was just so much to be done in only a few days I didn’t think we were gonna manage. But we did

We went to dance together on Thursday at Hunters and I was really impressed with the amount of people that showed up to see us. Ricky is “D-MAN” in Chicago. He has access to pretty much every club there, plus he knows everyone. I got introduced to so many people I wish I could remember half of their names LOL I also met Austen Taylor, one of the female pornstars that are part of Ricky’s new project that feature gay guys doing straight porn, which we’re now calling “straight for pay”. Just wait and see the list of male porn stars on his sleeve … Your jaws are gonna literally drop - mine did.

Friday we went to the gym earlier and did some shopping (y’all already know how bad I am with shopping LOL) then we were off to The Lucky Horse Shoe where the Men of Raging Stallion were gonna be present to meet and greet fans and help boost the TPAN fundraising.

Honestly I don’t think that was the best choice of venue for that kind of event but it wasn’t our choice so we had to work with what we had. The place was too cramped, it kinda looked like a maze… I don’t know, it was just weird with rude bartenders and ugly dancers. It sounds like I’m being bitchy, but really, you had to be there to know what I mean. We all try to concentrate in the back bar where some of us stripped down to bare minimum to show the fans a good time.

I need to make a small pause here, my plane is about to land - no, serious - the pause is mostly to make an appologie. This is gonna be the least illustrated blog post I ever had. The reason? I simply forgot to bring my camera to every single event. You think i’d have learnt after the first time it happened, but no! We were all in such a rush all the time I just kept leaving it behind :-/ I managed to ask some of the guys to email me some pictures … We’ll see…

Saturday afternoon was one of the best times I had there. We went to the theater where the grabbys were being held to rehearse the presentations and pretty much all the guys on the top of this industry were there and I got to meet most of them.

I dont know if this happens to you too but I usually look startruck when I meet someone I really like. This time it happened when I finally met Tory Mason. He’s even cuter in person and one of the nicest guys I ever met. I have the picture to prove how dumb I look when I was finally introduced to him LOL such a hottie!

Then there was Howard from FabScount. I always heard a mix of comments about him but never bad ones from people I really love and trust (that’s you, RJ) … Howard was extremely nice to me that weekend and I felt really honored to have met him in person. I’ve met him before but this time we actually had time to talk which was great. Thank you Howard

The award show surprinsingly enough started on time and it was actually longer than the GayVN’s. I felt like the Grabbys were more organized in a sense. Funnier. Plus I got to be one of the presenters I didn’t win an award, as I had already expected, but like I said before, just being nominated for an award as a best performer after less than a year in this business for me was a great honor. Grunts did win best movie and Chris and Ben won for best director. Scott Tanner got best 3way and Ricky took 2 more home among other awards won by RSS men.

The Grabbys were fun. I was able to move around a lot more than at the GayVNs since I had my “special pass” :-p I got to talk to Brent Corrigan which everyone by now know, was my first porn experience an my all time porn crush … Good seeing Grant as well. I was jumping around between my table and the CockyBoys’ table where Tory and Howard were. I had fun with them that night

Off to the military ball which in all honesty there was nothing military about it but the name LOL … It was just ok for me, but i got the chance to meet ChiChi (thanks to Sister Roma). An hour earlier I had stop at Manscountry where Ricky, Damien, Tober Brandt and I were gonna perform. I believe I could have done it better but oh well … It is what it is… My dear friend Mr. F. Was there to be a “friendly face in the crowd” and that was the highlight of the night. He flew in from San Francisco that same night just to have his presence made at the Grabbys and Manscountry … He got “compensated” for it though … WAIT right there … Just before your dirty minds start to wonder … He won the raffle at the Grabbys so that was a sign of luck even though he didn’t get to use any of his prize … He’ll manage to survive I’m sure hehehe

Sunday we had to do signings at the Leathermart at the IML and that was kinda fun just cuz all my “peeps” were there … Scott Tanner and his adorable boyfriend Damian Rios. RJ, Mario, Ricky, Steve Cruz, Jake Deckard and Logan McCree which is even HOTTER in person… You have no idea - Hot, tallented, intelligent … Really sweet guy

We went for a stroll at the mart and I’m gonna tell you, there was some weird shit going on there … I guess whatever floats your boat right? I mean you gotta be open about things but Damn… Being tased in the nuts isnt really my description of pleasure LOL

The best part though was when we stopped at the Hot House booth and I talked to Ty Lebouef … Such a cutie. The hottest man in porn … Ooof hehehe

Then it was off to the airport and back home. I do wanna say thanks again to Ricky for hosting me for so many days. Mr. F. For flying down to see me. To the GayChicago Magazine since the editor said I have the prettiest dick in porn LOL … To Howard for being such a sweetheart to me all weekend. To Tory Mason for being the cutest down to earth star I ever met. To Raging Stallion for bringing me there. For everyone that sent me pictures to help illustrate this post (especially Tom “Tball”) and for the fans that gave me so much love during this weekend. Thank you guys!

I’ll be back in a couple days (Promise!)
Luke
