Seneca Bowl is still busy with a tournament until Memorial Day weekend. It’s either go bowling or play solitaire since it’s National Solitaire Day.

Boys Night OUT at J’s Lounge, 513 E. Central.
2021-05-28 19:00 - 22:00
How’s this for an ice breaker. In 2005 National Masturbation Day was moved to May 28th and is now celebrated worldwide as International Masturbation Day. Follow that with, “Want to join me in a little hand to hand celebration?” Who knows? Maybe you’ll find someone and find out that the two of you have more in common than what you think.

2021-06-02 19:00 - 22:00
Leave The Office Earlier (To)Day and Run(ning Day) to Mike & Joe’s to play cards with the nicest group of cutthroats that you’ll ever meet. Just kidding. They’re actually not that nice, but they’re a great group of guys who get slightly competitive regardless whether we’re playing Pitch or UNO. If you’re feeling a bit peckish and if you’re wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it’s also Rotisserie Chicken Day and Rocky Road Day, ice cream, that is.

HIV- Long Term Survivors Day
2021-06-05
40 years ago on this date was when the first five cases of what was later to be known as AIDS were officially reported. We have lost so many of our closest friends and members to HIV, but, thankfully, we still have a few long term survivors, and to those friends and members, we salute you. www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/living-well-with-hiv/taking-care-of-yourself/aging-with-hiv.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2021-06-05 15:30 - 17:30
Yay! We get to go back to Seneca Bowl and at a little later time. With holidays like Trails Day, World Environment Day, and Hot Air Balloon Day, today was meant to get out of the house and get some exercise, like bowling! Join us as a bowler, or as a heckler, I mean, spectator. No experience is necessary, obviously. Afterwards, we’ll go somewhere to eat.

For Great Outdoors Month, we’re going to dine al fresco at Naftzger Park. You can bring your own lunch or you can order something from some of the great cafes around the park, like Old Tasty Mill or Rain across the street, or Home Grown, or Peace Love and Pies. Peace Love and Pies donated pies and desserts when we fed the homeless this past winter. Hopefully there may be a concert in the park. If it’s bad weather, we can seek shelter in Peace, Love, and Pies. Maybe they’ll be celebrating German Chocolate Cake Day. Parking is available on the east side of the park. Bring a lawn chair.

2021-06-14 18:30 - 20:00
No, no, no! No Monkey Around Day for us, it’s board meeting and we will be conducting business for our chapter. You’re welcome to join us for a good hot meal and to discuss future events, like our anniversary coming up in August. It’s also International Bath Day and Meet A Mate Week. So, meet a mate and invite them to take a bath and then monkey around! Like I have to tell you.

Pitch Night at Tracy's
2021-06-16 19:00 - 22:00
And since it’s still Meet A Mate Week, meet a mate and invite him to come and play cards. And if your mate is wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, remember it’s also Fresh Veggies Day and Fudge Day, sounds like fondue to me.

Potluck/Business Meeting at Hilltop Manor Club House, 1411 S. Oliver
2021-06-19 18:30 - 20:00
In honor of National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month and Turkey Lovers Month, our theme will be anything with fresh vegetables or fruit or turkey. It’s also National Kissing Day and National Hollerin’ Contest Day ( I guess that depends on how well you kiss). We could have a kissing or a hollerin’ contest, but more than likely we’ll just play bingo. So, bring your bingo gifts wrapped or bagged, you know, like your kissing partner. Who knows, you could be a lucky winner, and go home hollerin’!

Father's Day CookOUT and Pool Party, 11:30 AM at Mike & Joe's
2021-06-20 11:30 - 15:00
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.

June 29th, Tuesday, Coffee With The Boys, 9 AM at Livingston’s Diner, 9747 E. 21st St. N. Reserved.
We’re going to Livingston’s on Waffle Iron Day. We haven’t been there since October. Hopefully, either or both Norm and Lewis will be there since it’s Camera Day.

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.

Celebrations at Delano Diner, 1220 W. Douglas
2021-07-01 18:30 - 20:00
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.

First Friday at Alley Gallery, 616 E. Douglas.
2021-07-02 19:00 - 21:00
On I Forgot Day, don’t you forget that we’re going to try First Friday as a change from Final Friday at Tom’s suggestion. And Alley Gallery is a new gallery in an alley, across from Naft zger Park. For more information see: www.facebook.com/FirstFridayICT. From there we can decide where to go to next, maybe to the Union Station for Sno-Cones or Gelato.

Breakfast Boys Club at Egg Crate, 8606 W. 13th St. N, Ste. 150.
2021-07-03 09:00 - 10:00
Reserved. Although it’s Eat Beans Day, I think we can do better than that. It was still winter when we were here last. Perhaps we should visit them seasonably like we do for Spear’s. In case you forgot the menu, you can see it here: www.eggcratecafewichita.com/menus.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl 1909 S. Seneca.
2021-07-03 16:00 - 17:30
There’s a tournament going on from 2 PM to 4 PM, so we’ll go there at 4 PM. It’s also Air Conditioning Appreciation Day, and if you ate beans today, then you’ll definitely appreciate the air conditioning, and we’ll appreciate the fan. Join us for bowling, either as a bowler or as a spectator. We’ll probably go somewhere to eat afterwards, beans notwithstanding.
