A few weeks ago, New Orleans was almost late-summer sultry when Tim and I were there. According to Greg, after Saints & Sinners, the temperature suddenly became more bearable. The past few days in NYC, people kept assuring me that usually the heat and humidity aren’t quite that intense until later in the summer. Is it that every place just gets hotter when Tim appears? Or do I talk too freaking much? Hmmmm…
However, that being said? Just for the sheer pleasure of being in one of my favorite places on the planet, I’ll deal with whatever weather NYC offers. I may whine about the walking and the heat, but there is NO PLACE anywhere like Manhattan. It’s a city that would eat me alive if I tried to live in it, but I sure love visiting there.
So, y’all ready for some photos?
Marika, this is how I know it was the real Famous Author Rob Byrnes.
Who else would have his Saints & Sinners name badge?
Unlike the Saints & Sinners organizers, the Lambda Literary Foundation just couldn’t get it right. Where is the “Famous Author” part of FARB’s name on the plaque?
More photos from The Big Night:
Rob with his other half Brady before the awards ceremony began.
My writer-in-law Paul, i.e., writing partner Timothy Forry’s other half, who didn’t help with hair and makeup, but otherwise took good care of me and the guys throughout Lammy day and night.
Hard working writer and editor Lawrence Schimel, whose MAMMOTH BOOK OF NEW GAY EROTICA was just released and contains an impressive list of contributors.
Alyson editor Joe Pittman with Timothy J. Lambert.
My new crush Crash with author, presenter, and Lambda board member Christopher Rice.
Paul J. Willis and Greg Herren, editors of and contributors to the Lambda anthology winner LOVE, BOURBON STREET.
Writing partners Timothy Forry and Timothy J. Lambert flank FARB in a useless maneuver, since Brady was guarding Rob’s Lambda plaque for WHEN THE STARS COME OUT.
Timothy Forry schmoozing.
Christopher Rice and some woman.
More to come…
Those are great. I’m glad you had a good time.
Gret NYC pictures – all filled with hot gay celebs! And Great Zot, Christopher Rice hasn’t aged in the past ten years. Do you think Anne turned him into a .;.. vampire? Cute cuple though.
How fabulous! I love the pictures. Thank you for sharing them. Everyone looks so happy and relaxed.
*Mark is right, that color on you is amazing!*
whoever that woman is with Christopher Rice, she is Looking Good!
What a good looking group of people!
Oh, what fun you must’ve had! I can’t wait to hear every last detail about your trip. 😉
I love the day you bought a camera. These are great, thanks for them! Please tell me you got to take a picture of Bethesda Fountain? And 51st Street, but that’s a long-shot. : )
Stay tuned re Bethesda Fountain. Meanwhile, did you see this?
Geez. No, I haven’t (till now). Haven’t seen that statue in too long!
Great pics, Becky. Look forward to the others.
So nice to meet you all – thanks very much for sharing!
Glad you’re all having a great time . . . or look to be if these pictures are anything to go by!!
