Father's Day CookOUT and Pool Party, 11:30 AM at Mike & Joe's
2021-06-20 11:30 - 15:00 (America/Chicago)
I made a huge Faux Pas, I forgot to acknowledge Father’s Day. So my apologies to all of the Fathers out there, father figures and all of the Daddy wannabees. Let me make it up to you. This Sunday, we’re going to celebrate with a cookout and pool party. For the cookout, bring whatever meat you want to throw on the grill, and a dish to share. For the pool party, bring your own swim suit and a towel. If you don’t have a swim suit, one will be provided for you, an Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. Please, if anyone has a dart board, bring it. Dale has been dying to play. I bet he would even volunteer to be the target rather than play cards. Otherwise, we will play lawn darts. Speaking of cards, I’m sure a card game will break out. Whether that would be Pitch or UNO just depends upon everybody’s interest. And there may be a movie too. So come out and enjoy the day.

Dining OUT at Stearman's Air Field Bar & Grill, 14789 SW 30th St., Benton, Ks.
2021-06-24 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. It’s International Fairy Day, so let’s see who else flies in. Except for last year, going to Stearman’s has almost been an annual event,. You can view their menu at: www.stearmanbarandgrill.com/menu. It’s also National Handshake Day, and a handshake is part of our logo. It could be worse, depending upon your point of view, it could be National Grope Day, if there is such a day. So, hand it over boys!

Boys Night OUT at J's Lounge, 513 E. Central
2021-06-25 19:00 - 22:00
Most of you will probably be celebrating Color TV Day. But it’s Midsummer Eve, and there’s magic in the air. So come out. You could get lucky or Catfished since it’s also Catfish Day. Come out and listen to the music, play pool, or dish!

Stonewall Anniversary
2021-06-28
I guess I’m a traditionalist. I believe that if you start to move the date around then soon you’ll forget the significance of the event.
The Stonewall Riots history is also my history. I was eighteen when I came out to my mom after reading about the riots in the Wichita Eagle. I wanted to be a part of that history, to go and join our brothers, and sisters, in NYC. That’s when I began writing to the GLF, Gay Liberation Front. What can I say? I’m still a radical at heart, just not as fast any more: www.nyclgbtsites.org/site/gay-liberation-front-at-alternate-u. GLF25 John O’Brien: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6P8-tlvkDA. And Stonewall Riots History: I was at the protest in June, 1969: www.youtube.com/watch?v=es7aUz5YQv0.

CookOUT and GAYme/Video Nite at Mike & Joe's
2021-06-30 17:00 - 22:00
This will be our Stonewall Celebration. Before we go outside this evening to observe National Meteor Watch Day and International Asteroid Day, we’ll start the evening with a cookout. Bring what you want to throw on the grill or have hot dogs and hamburgers. Bring a side dish to share. The pool should be ready, if you’re so inclined, bring your bathing suit and a towel. Or, take your pick from our Funniest and Most Embarrassing bathing suit contest which will be taped and sent to America’s Most Funniest and Embarrassing Homo Videos. No, that’s not a mistake. Following our cookout, we’ll have…
GAYme/Video Nite, 7 PM. For an evening, under the stars, playing cards or board games and a movie. If it’s bad weather, we may move inside for the movie. And if you’re wondering what to bring to share in our communal snacks and beverages bar, remember it’s Candy Month and, Dairy Month. Maybe we’ll see the Milky Way, candy bars that is.

On this Second Half of the Year Day, we’re returning to Delano Diner. We have often eaten there for breakfast before, but we have never tried it out for dinner. Of course they serve breakfast items all day. They do not take reservations but they have taken note. So whoever gets there ask for a table for twelve. Since it’s Joke Day, everybody bring a joke to share. It’s also Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day and Gingersnap Day; perhaps we should adjourn to Braum’s after dinner to celebrate.

If you have a dart board, bring it, with the darts, or we can play lawn darts; just throw the darts away from the cookout and pool areas, thank you very much. There may be other yard games, and probably cards or a board game, and a movie. But, please, No fireworks! We can plan to go as near to the Riverfront Stadium for their Red, White & BOOM Fireworks celebration at 9:50 PM.

Since it is Picnic Month, our menu will reflect that, so bring your favorite picnic foods. It’s also Peach Ice Cream Day, well, that would be nice or bring whatever you think that would make a good picnic dessert.
