Lunch With The Guys at Amore Italian Restaurant, 2315 W. 21st St. N.
2023-12-22 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
Reserved. Now on National Date Nut Bread Day and National Cookie Exchange Day, we’re going to Amore, Tom’s suggestion. Amore, is the new Italian Restaurant that replaced Neighbor’s and Town & Country classic in the same location, especially since we lost DeFazio’s this year too. Anyway, this is a made from scratch Italian food. Their menu is on: https://www.kansas.com/entertainment/restaurants/dining-with-denise-neil/article281643733.html.

Pitch Night at Tracy's, 2914 Grail
2023-12-27 19:00 - 22:00
Another opportunity to share a warm winter’s night playing cards with your homies/buddies/peeps. Since it’s National Leftovers Day and National Fruitcake Day, feel free to bring your leftovers or fresh, or nearly fresh but untouched fruitcake to share in our favorite snacks and beverages bar.

Dining OUT at Tianluo Bistro, 11309 E. Kellogg.
2023-12-28 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. We have not been back to Tianluo Bistro since we had lunch there in August. Now, I thought more of you would like to savor authentic Chinese food, not Mandarin, that they offer. You can see their menu at: https://www.tianluobistro.com/menu.

Guys Night OUT at J's Lounge, 519 E. Central
2023-12-29 19:00 - 22:00
Is it Tick Tock Day or Tic Toc Day? I knew I should have been taking notes. I choose Tic Toc Day: https://www.tiktok.com/@abstract_boy/video/7126668381259877638. We should be so lucky!

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2023-12-30 15:30 - 17:30
National Bicarbonate of Soda Day sounds a preventative thing, you know, proactive. However it’s also Bacon Day and after bowling we can go in search of a good bacon meal.

Video Nite/New Year's Eve Party at 932 N. Amidon
2023-12-31 19:00 - 22:00
Make Up Your Mind Day, or you can enjoy both, play cards and watch a movie. I can’t say that we’ll be up to watch the New Year come in. I’ll let you out at a decent hour, like 10 PM, to get home safely. Like Kyle used to say, to avoid the Amateurs. Times like this is when I wish I had a big smart TV and a streaming service to watch movies like: The Hottest Older Men Gay Movies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYjR7H2hVHo, Burnt Money | Watercolor Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec3BVfTuvFk, Multigay | 2023 so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye985Cc37Aw, Andrea & Daniele | Song for Zula https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zYEp5dG-cs, Niko & Igor | Lose My Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpCCqk67HmM, Pietro & Enea- You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me (Gay Themed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV-IMXjZ4DE, and Max and Santi – Everlasting Love (Gay Themed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njf8sBbJ6vs.
I wish you all very happy holiday memories. So, What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? Well Strung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvOIhMyAOyo.

Senior Wednesday at Wichita Art Museum, 1400 W. Museum Dr.
2024-01-03 10:00 - 12:00
Although it’s Festival of Sleep Day, there are two exhibits which I would like to see, Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice. And Barbara Earl Thomas: The Illuminated Body. I wonder if 1400 Elderslie will be celebrating National Fruitcake Toss Day or National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day, with their complimentary pastries and coffee at 10 AM. Admission is free to Art Museum members and $2 for non members. I wonder if members get to eat all they want? For more information see: wam.org/event/senior-wednesday-winter-exhibitions.

Celebrations at The Old Spaghetti Factory, 1421 Waterfront Pkwy
2024-01-04 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. It’s National Spaghetti Day, hence the reason for eating here and also because they offer Spumoni for dessert. You can see their menu at: www.osf.com/food.

Breakfast With The Guys at Doo Dah Diner, 206 E. Kellogg
2024-01-06 09:00 - 10:00
For National Shortcake Day, we’re going to Doo Dah! It’s been like two years since we’ve been there. I read in the newspaper that the owner, Patrick Shibley, is battling metastatic prostate cancer, a threat that we can all relate to. So, we’re going to lend our support. They don’t take reservations, but she did list us, so they are expecting us. However, we should get there in time so we can all sit together as they get quite busy. You can see their menu at: doodahdiner.com/menu.

Pitch Night at Mike & Joe's, 921 N. Bebe
2024-01-10 19:00 - 22:00
I don’t understand why they pair Peculiar People Day and National Houseplant Appreciation Day together on the same day. One might say that it is Queer. However, if it’s Peculiar People that they want, they have come to the right place. But there is nothing peculiar about playing cards with your friends. And if you’re wanting to bring something to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it is also National Oyster Rockefeller Day and National Bittersweet Chocolate Day for suggestions.

Senior Thursday at Kansas Aviation Museum, 3350 George Washington Boulevard.

National Trivia Day was the week before, but it is still International Brain Teaser Month. And Scott tells me this is the place to go to play Trivia, free! You can find their menu on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/people/Dudleys/100057419621172.
And if that doesn’t fit your fancy, there is always Kiss A Ginger Day.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2024-01-13 15:30 - 17:30
I don’t believe it, it’s International Skeptics Day and Make Your Dream Come True Day. What better way to celebrate than to go bowling, or go to watch. Here’s your opportunity to start that exercise resolution you made. Afterwards we may go to eat somewhere healthy to eat, but I doubt it.

Board Meeting at Country Cafe, 2408 S. Seneca
2024-01-15 18:30 - 20:00

There are so many holidays to celebrate like National Hot Soup Month, National Cheese Lover’s Day, International Day of Acceptance, Bread Machine Baking Month, and National Slow Cooking Month. January is the month which we celebrate with hot foods, so soups, stews, chilies, even casseroles are welcome. Bring whatever warms your body and your soul.

Coffee With The Guys at Livingston's Diner, 9747 E. 21st St. N.
2024-01-23 09:00 - 10:00

Pitch Night at Tracy's, 2904 Grail
2024-01-24 19:00 - 22:00
Where else can you find a nicer bunch of guys playing cards on National Compliment Day? It’s also National Peanut Butter Day which should make it even easier for you to decide what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar.

Dining OUT at Bite Me BBQ, 132 N. St. Francis
2024-01-25 08:00 - 17:00
BMBBQ was suggested when I said it was National Fish Taco Day. Must be because it’s also National Opposite Day. You can find their menu at: bitemebbq.com/menu.

Guys Night OUT at J's Lounge, 519 E. Central
2024-01-26 19:00 - 22:00

Video Nite at Sparky's, 229 S. Colorado St.
2024-01-28 19:00 - 22:00
Yesterday was Commemoration Victims of the Holocaust Day and International Holocaust Remembrance Day. There are so many gay films regarding the Holocaust. BENT (1997 is a classic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA0CCzh3x_g&t=1s . However there is another perspective that I think we should see, Great Freedom – Official Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaWQzi1OHhg&t=1s. Yesterday was also National Chocolate Cake Day, if you’re wondering what to bring to our communal concession table.

GAYme Night at Scott's, 10517 W. Jewell Ct.
2024-01-31 19:00 - 22:00
It’s Hell Is Freezing Over Day, which would be apropos for the weather at this time of the year. Here’s a good way to start the New Year off right with a friendly game of your choice, cards, board games, etc. And to fend off the freezing weather, it’s also National Hot Chocolate Day, unless you have a better idea of what to bring to our favorite snacks and beverages bar.

Celebrations at Fat Ernie's, 2806 S. Hydraulic
2024-02-01 18:30 - 20:00
It’s been a while since we’ve been to Fat Ernie’s. The last time we were scrunched together like sardines and not even seated in the dining room with the long tables either. While they don’t take reservations, they are alerted to our visit. So, whoever gets there first, grab a table for twelve. Since it’s Optimist Day, we’ll take our chances. Hopefully they’ll have dark chocolate cake to celebrate National Dark Chocolate Day

Hockey Night at Intrust Arena, 500 E. Waterman
2024-02-02 19:00 - 22:00
Calling all Hockey fans and wannabees! Whether you’re a professional fan or a rookie, you’ll enjoy the game with friends, just like you. Scott has acquired coupons to trade in for free general admission tickets. He sent out a Punchbowl invitation so you can RSVP that way or you can text him at 316-648-1758 by January 30th. I don’t know that much about hockey either, but I like what I see: Slap Shot (1977) – Striptease at the championship final [HD] YouTube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWTx7hPng40.

Breakfast With The Guys at Jimmie's Diner, 3111 N. Rock Rd.
2024-02-03 09:00 - 10:00
If I said that we were going to celebrate Take A Cruise Day, we would only see the dust from Joe’s shoes. So since it’s National Carrot Cake Day, Ice Cream For Breakfast Day, National Hot Breakfast Month and The Day The Music Died we’re going to Jimmie’s. They don’t take reservations on the weekend, so whomever gets there first, ask for a table for eight or ten and to add more if we need to. It’s been years since we’ve been to Jimmie’s, so you may have forgotten their menu: https://order.toasttab.com/online/jimmies-diner-rock-road-3111-n-rock-rd.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2024-02-10 15:30 - 17:30
We could have celebrated either Chinese New Year or Carnival in Brazil, but we’re going to go with Teddy Day. Whether your Teddy is a pro bowler or a newbie, you’re welcome to bring him to bowl, or to watch us bowl. Since it is Chinese New Year, maybe we can go to eat at Ming’s afterwards, just a thought

Super Bowl Party at Scott's, 10517 W. Jewell Ct.
2024-02-11 17:00 - 21:00
Super Chicken Wing Day, Great American Pizza Bake Week, National Kraut and Frankfurter Week all sound like a great ways to celebrate Super Bowl with a party at Scott’s. Bring some of your favorite snacks and beverages to add to our communion concession stand. And remember, it’s just a game, it’s not whether your team wins or loses, it’s National Don’t Cry Over Spilt Milk Day.
