I really miss Axis and Man-Ray. That was my Friday/Saturday night one-two punch back in the early 90's.

Indeed, summer in P-Town is always fun. I love it there.

I've been away from this thread and it has evolved interestingly. What's happened to Boston gay nightlife is what's happened to NYC gay nightlife: the Internet and - just as importantly - property values, property values, property values!!!

It's just not as viable to have a club anymore with people hooking up through other means and with the costs associated with operating a club in an expensive city ever escalating.

Napoleon Club is a perfect example of what's happened. Rather than keep one of the oldest bars in the country going, the owners sold out to condos. The same kind of thing happened to the Eagle and Spike (not to mention others) in NYC (Chelsea).

It's pretty sad, I think, 'cause the notion of gay community is disappearing in a real sense. And, I don't think it's unique to Boston at all.

BTW: I love that video. It's hysterically true!
