Well, I’m going to pretend that no news is good news in order to justify the fact I had only two updates for this site last month.

However, I hate to hurt your feelings so I’ll be sure to update with another interview in the coming days. Hooray for that.

By the way, I’m going to be in New York City from September 8 through 13. If you live in the Big Apple and fancy a dinner interview, get in touch and hopefully we can get something organized.

Two updates in one night? Goodness gracious.

On the last day of my recent holiday in California I sat down to a meal with Winston Gieseke. Click here to read the 23rd dinner with a stranger.

That’s not Winston, natch. It’s the exterior of Dear John’s, the restaurant in Culver City where we had dinner and he told me all about his move to Los Angeles at the age of 18, his work writing for television, and his present career as editor of a gay porn blog.

Apparently, my recent interview with gay for pay porn star/escort Malachi Marx prompted a mixed reaction from people online.

Thanks to the magic of my web hosting company I’ve been able to track links in to the interview from gay porn sites such as this one, another one and yet another. The comments on those sites (and mine) tend to be overwhelmingly negative, criticizing Malachi’s remarks about his distaste for performing gay sex. There are a few supportive remarks mixed in there, but you might need a magnifying glass to find them.

However you feel about Mr. Marx, I’m just thankful for your visit to this site. While you’re here, why not request a dinner with me? Maybe your interview will prompt a more favorable response from readers. No promises.

In Los Angeles for my 30th birthday, I organized two interviews. The first was an interview over lunch with Malachi Marx. He’s a straight man who makes money as a gay for pay porn star and escort that often has sex with men.

Click here to find out more about what led Malachi into the porn and escorting industries, and what he really thinks about being a heterosexual man who performs homosexual acts on camera and behind closed doors for money. Lots of money.

Nothing in the way of a major update today. Haha! Fooled you!

Ahem. This is a just a short post to highlight an exhibition of photographer Lars Stephan’s work in New York City. Lars is a very pleasant chap who sat down to dinner with me for an interview last August, revealing all about his life as a shutterbug.

If you find his work of interest and you happen to live in New York, his exhibition titled “Leap Into The Void — Earth 0.5″ runs through Aug. 21 at a place called Bambule at Envoy Enterprises, 131 Chrystie Street, New York.

I’ve updated the upcoming travels page because in the absence of fresh interviews to put online, it’s something, right?

Within the next couple of months I’ll be in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Connecticut (several locations) and more. I already have at least one interview set up for each location but always happy to do more. Get in touch via this handy link if you live in a place I’ll be visiting and want to take part in this site.

Oh, and the subject line of this update refers to the fact I’ll be using air, rail and road to transport myself around these diverse locations. Hopefully I won’t run into a John Candy look-a-like who makes my trip hell by maxing out my credit card and burning my car.

Huzzah, a new dinner interview.

Back in New Orleans for a holiday recently, I managed to do one dinner with a stranger. Click on the picture or above or this handy link to read about the life of Mary Millan. Also known as “Bloody Mary” she’s an authentic voodoo priestess, ghost tour guide, psychic healer and very good company.

Next month I’ll be in Los Angeles for a holiday and I’m looking for people to interview out there. Please get in touch if you’d like to do a dinner with a stranger, my treat (unless you want to pay, which would be grand).

Take a peek at the travel page to see where else I’m heading this year. I’ll be making a couple of trips back home to England, and am always looking for people to interview in my current city of Washington, DC.

Oh, and as for new articles, count on one appearing tomorrow. Perhaps.

My trip to Providence turned out to be quite productive.

Four dinner interviews in the space of three days. I had dinner with a design student, brunch with an abortion rights activist and another dinner with a realtor who blogs about living in Rhode Island.

The fourth and final interview was a Sunday brunch with Amy Messere. Click here to learn all about Amy, a keen photographer who pays the bills with often bizarre work as a waitress in a Providence strip club.

Ah, New Orleans.

Last night I returned to DC from a brief holiday to the Big Easy and as always had a great time down there. Above is a picture I took on my iPhone sunning myself by the pool and recovering from too much enjoyment the night before.

While in the Crescent City I did an interview with a stranger that I hope to have up in the next few weeks. Before then, this haphazardly updated site should see the 20th dinner article, the last of four interviews from Providence.

As always, get in touch if you want to go to dinner.
