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!)

I know I went away for a while and everyone is probably already tired of hearing me saying I wouldn’t do that anymore. Looking at the bright side of things, I’d imagine by now you guys are probably getting used to me breaking my promises about updating the blog every week or every other week …blah blah blah… I know I know I’m not reliable anymore LOL
I have no idea how many of you know that on May 19th the blog will be celebrating its one year anniversary. I’m trying to put together a new layout, maybe a new theme. I have lots of ideas but like everything in life they don’t depend just on me. Since I don’t know which ones are actually gonna be up by Friday I wont mentioned any of them. I just hope you guys like the ones I manage to update.
I’m also working on my last photo shoot so I can post some of the new pictures on Friday too. This time, the pictures are not from Raging Stallion, or my good friend Jack, I got my boyfriend (which has a great eye for photography, besides having a great eye for men :-p) to shoot the pictures and they came out unbelievably good. I can’t wait to post them all.
Quick news and updates are as follow…
1- I finally heard from Brent Corrigan. As I mentioned before, We shot 3 scenes together a year ago, a couple months before I signed my exclusive contract with Raging Stallion and he told me one of the scenes will be released soon, hopefully this summer in a dvd-project he’s been developing with Dink Flamingo. So this time you guys are gonna have the chance to see me in a completely different environment than the usual RSS stuff. I’m excited to see the work finally being released.
2- I’ll be heading to San Francisco after the Grabby’s to work in a new RSS project. I read on RJ’s blog that it might be a sequel for the work he did before with Logan McCree and it’s gonna be called “The 5th Floor”. The scene was originally meant to be a threesome with Logan McCree, RJ and the set was to be designed like a German darkroom, BUT the latest I heard, Logan thought RJ and I were too young to play the role of pervs in a German sex club (oh well) and the scene was changed to be a 2-way with RJ and I. I guess I’m gonna have to wait again to have my way with Logan hehehe
Finally I’m gonna lay out my schedule for Chicago, just in case you don’t have anything better to do Memorial Day Weekend and wanna follow me around lol.
I leave to Chicago a week from today (next Thursday, 22nd) and that same night I perform at Hunters between 10pm and 1am with Ricky Sinz – Ricky has always been an awesome guy. This time he lined up several gigs for me in Chicago and he’s also hosting me while I’m there. Thanks bud – The next day, Friday at 7pm, we all gonna be part of the Tim and Roma show and heard that’s gonna be a blast, I mean, how could it not be… they’re fantastic! Then we all head to the Lucky Horse Shoe where the men from Raging Stallion will be going to get down and dirty to benefit TPAN – you can’t miss this one. The poster/ad for the party is right below.
Then after the Lucky Horse Shoe party, Ricky and I head to Metro until 5am where we’re gonna be perfoming again. If you’re going to Metro make sure you stop at the ATM machine before you get there LOL
On Saturday, from 6-9pm is the Grabby’s Award Show. Like I mentioned before, I have no expectations of winning and I’m just happy to be nominated after a single year in this business. That MUST mean something. I’m also gonna be a presenter, which is really cool since I didn’t get to do it that the GAYVN’s.
On Sunday, Im gonna be at the Leathermart Booth, signing pictures and giving away free porn (don’t quote me on that lol) but I’m definitely gonna be there from noon to 4pm. It’s a good chance for greeting and meeting fans. Since I don’t live in San Francisco or in any other major city in the US I don’t get to do a lot of that, so it’s always nice when it happens. And if you mention to me you read this post I’ll give you a surprise gift lol
After IML we head to the Post Grabby’s Fundraiser Brunch at the North End Bar and I’m gonna be there between 5 and 6pm…
On Monday I fly back to Providence, and have a day to wash my dirty drawers lol just to get on a plane again on Wednesday and go back to San Francisco where we’re gonna be shooting The 5th Floor….
It’ll be a lot but I’ll manage.
I promise (here I come again with my promises) to be more present from now on. Even if I have to just write about me playing soccer on xbox LOL
Bye for now… with love lust
Luke
