The whole reason for us to be in London this weekend is that David Sedaris was reading some of his new stories. It was wickedly funny! The good news is that he and Hugh are moving to England - so probably we will see him perform much often here.

Every year on the first of September, at a cove in a small town called Taiji on the southeast coast of Japan's Honshu Island, a new fishing season begins: the dolphin season.
Twenty-six fishermen in 13 boats corral a few dozen dolphins into the small cove, where they kill the animals by stabbing them repeatedly with long harpoons and knives. The 50-square-foot inlet turns crimson, as if filled only with blood.

In the course of a six-month season, fishermen kill roughly 2,000 dolphins and sell the meat to local supermarkets for about U.S. $500 a dolphin. The fishermen supplement their income by taking about a hundred dolphins alive and selling them for tens of thousands of dollars each to aquariums.

Anti-gay GOP California state Sen. Roy Ashburn was arrested for DUI yesterday after leaving Faces, a popular Sacramento gay bar, with an unidentified male passenger.  He is on of the many conservatives who came out the last couple of years.
He had to admit that he is gay during a live radio interview with Inga bark from Kern talk radio. "Do you want me to ask the question or are you tell us?" She asks Roy at 7 minutes into the interview. "Well..uhm.. I am gay..." he says :-)
Welcome to the gang Roy!

Scott Kelby the top man from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, the NAPP podcasts and writer of the most successful photoshop books was in Utrecht this week for the Professional Imaging 2010 expo. He's really a great gay and funny too. "The Dutch are SO into this stuff, and I can’t tell you how many people I met that watch every episode of Photoshop User TV, or D-Town TV, or have my books, or are Kelby Training Online subscribers—it was just amazing (I’m still stunned be recognized this far from home)."
