All about events and happenings at the Big Gay Frat House in San Francisco's oh-so-gay Castro District, as well as our various adventures out and about in San Francisco.

In a stunt that would never, ever pass muster in the U.S., even on cable television, a streaker ran onstage at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, Northern Ireland, chatting with actress and awards presenter Hayden Panettiere ... completely naked and uncensored on European television.
After days of denial, the streaker, actor David Monahan (24), eventually confessed that the stunt was coordinated by MTV's production people. Although Panettiere was in on the gag, neither the audience nor 99% of MTV's staff knew about the planned streak.
Monahan says that MTV's producers approached him after hearing that the actor was willing to do nude scenes. In an interview with the Belfast Telegraph, he said:
"It was the writers who came up with the idea of having a streaker as part of a skit. They were looking for an actor, and because I'd talked about going for a casting for Game Of Thrones naked, my name was mentioned. I got a call from MTV on Saturday asking me to come over."
In the U.S., where thousands of people can be slaughtered on prime time television but a half-second flash of Janet Jackson's nipple results in fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars, MTV sadly would not be allowed to do a similar uncensored stunt on local television.
After the jump, check out a few censored and uncensored photos we've dug up as well as uncensored video footage. Let's hope American television can catch up someday.
I've provided you with videos of SF Boylesque's Bohemian Brethren's lastthreeperformances at Truck(1900 Folsom Street, San Francisco), a gay bar in San Francisco's SOMA district. It's like a drag show with choreography and costumes, but instead of boys putting on make-up and wigs and gowns, they're taking the clothes off.
When I posted the last set of videos, they had not yet announced when their next performance would be ... but now they have.
Our very own Burelesque take on Classic Board Games. You've played some of the classics when you where a kid, but now we will show you how to bring Sass, Class, & Ass to this super fun and sexy night night at Truck!
You can bet that I'll be there and taking video once again. Come see the fun!
This web-find is of a stripping game played at a Rhode Island gay bar called Mirabar. The contestants played some sort of game (it's hard to see, but it looks like they're rolling dice or something). The loser of each round removes an article of clothing until one of the guys is left with just a teeny tiny towel to cover his bits.
San Francisco's gay nightlife has gotten somewhat tamer lately, it seems. Why can't we do games like that here anymore? In part, perhaps, because our ABChas gotten rather out of control on such issues (why should it matter in a bar with consenting adults and no children?). Perhaps Wet & Wild or one of the other events in SF could take on the challenge?
We've posted before about SF Boylesque's shows in Julyand Augustat Truck. At long last, I'm posting the videos of their September 15th show. Here's part one, and you can check out part two after.
I've blogged many times before about people getting naked or doing other risque antics for a good cause, whether it's doing car washes in tighty whiteys, the full monty strip shows the rugby boys used to do at their fundraisers, riding bicycles naked to draw attention to global dependence on petroleum products, and the like.
But here's one in a place you might least expect it: Utah.
Organizers of the Utah Undie Run managed to get an estimated 3,000 men and women to run in their underwear (nudity was prohibited) in order "to protest what they called the 'uptight laws of Utah."
Sounds like a worthy cause to me!
Check out a video of the run below as well as more photos at The Huffington Post.
I don't often do posts of "web finds," but every now and then I feel compelled. Here's one.
I graduated from college over 20 years ago. We had our share of drinking games, but there seem to be a whole bunch that were invented after I graduated, like flip cup and beer pong (sometimes called, oddly enough, Beirut).
One of my favorite innovations (at least, my circle of friends never did this) is the "shut out" rule. In any game with a score, like beer pong, foosball, or air hockey, if a team loses without scoring a single point, they're shut out or skunked and are forced to accept a pre-agreed penalty. Sometimes they're standard house rules for the dorm, fraternity, or circle of friends. Sometimes they're agreed upon at the start of the game.
One of the most common shut out penalties appears to be the naked lap rule, where the team that's shut out must strip off all their clothes and streak around a pre-determined area completely naked. Sometimes it's through the house, with the requirement that they have to entire every room. Sometimes, in a dorm, it's down the common hallway to the elevator and back. Often it appears to be outside, where they have to streak around the outside perimeter of the house, dorm, or even block.
Of all the naked lap videos out there, this one's currently my favorite even though the guys don't show full frontal to the camera (which is why it's survived on Youtube). Of course, part of that is that the guys are really cute, though that's true of many of the other college guys who've posted videos of their naked forfeits. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the video camera's quality is very good and clear, with a minimal amount of shaking and bouncing around. Third, the guys get completely naked, head to toe, even barefoot. And when they do their run, they aren't carrying their underwear with them (as so many others do), so you know if they get caught they'll have nothing to cover up with. Fourth, though their backs are to the camera and we never get to see peen, they don't appear to be trying to cover up, so it's clear their friends got to see the full glory of their full monty. And finally, though the camera operator doesn't run after them outside (where it would have been too dark anyway), it's clear that they have to at least run around the entire building.
Have any of you readers ever been shut out and forced to do a naked lap?
Our last post had part one of SF Boylesque's August show at Truck (1900 Folsom St, San Francisco). Here's part two. If you want to see them live, there's another show coming up on September 15th.
In July, I posted inthreeparts about SF Boylesque's Bohemian Brethren's male burlesque show at Truck. I went again to their August show and though I posted the videos to Youtube, I didn't get around to posting them on this here blog. Apologies in advance for the fact that some of these videos are blurry -- my camera's focus can get thrown off for video in poor lighting, and once it starts to film, it won't refocus.
I should mention that their next show is on Thursday, September 15th at Truck (1900 Folsom Street, San Francisco).
Here's the first half -- and then check out part two!
Last week, we alerted you to a new Men's Dodgeballleague starting up at the Eureka Valley Rec Center in San Francisco. We went to check out a preview last week and it was a lot of fun.
The SF Rec & Park Department told our friend DJ Go, who is coordinating the event, that it would be okay if some of the guys wanted to play shirtless. So I came up with a twist on the rules to encourage guys to do it while still allowing guys to keep their shirts on if they wanted. A semi-strip dodgeball.
The rules are the same as usual: if you hit an opponent, they're out, but if they catch the ball, you're out and one of their players gets to come back in. But here's the twist: if you get hit, you have the option of taking your shirt off instead of going out. But if you get hit again once shirtless, then you're really out just like the normal rules.
The games are every Saturday until December from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm at the Eureka Valley Rec Center, 100 Collingwood Street in San Francisco.
Though I won't be playing shirtless, I'll definitely check it out unless family obligations take me out of town. Here are some of the fun pictures from last week's warm-up. There are more on Flickr, too.
In addition to the Men's Dodgeball that our friend DJ Go is promoting through the SF Rec & Parks Department, we have another friend conducting an event sponsored by Rec & Park:
Future Chefs
Our friend Matt, soon to graduate from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy, will be conducting a class teaching cooking basics for youth and adults alike who really know very little about cooking but would like to learn more.
A free demo will be held on September 2, 2011 (today!), and then the classes will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. every Friday at the Eureka Valley Rec Center, 100 Collingwood Street (at 18th), San Francisco.
The fee for the entire series is $48, but scholarships are also available. Call 415/831-6810 for more information.
My friend, DJ Go, has been deejaying for the San Francisco Rec & Park'sWomen's Dodgeball for some time now. And now they're about to launch a new all-male event in the Castro at the Eureka Valley Rec Center.
Men's Dodgeball will be held every Saturday from 1:00pm until 3:00pm starting September 10th and continuing through December 10th. Players can pay $33 for the entire season or just drop in for a game for only $5. Check out their Facebook page to stay up to date.
I'm not coordinated enough to play, but I might become a cheerleader if DJ Go manages to get some of our friends to compete. And you can bet that if they ever get a game going of strip dodgeball (semi-NSFW), I'll be there with camera in tow!
(P.S. I may be mistaken, but this might well be the first BGFH blog post tagged with "Sports.")
