Sunday thoughts - Football, Ilene Kristen & AfterLife with Archie

I suppose my life is a kind of contradiction - the set's been on NFL football on all day long and am looking forward to the fourth game of the Series tonight (what was wrong with the Sox last night?) but my pop culture side still rears his head from time to time... and so I'm on edge waiting for tomorrow afternoon's General Hospital esp since Ilene Kristen will be on as (mild spoiler alert) Delia from Ryan's Hope as Ava Jerome's mother. Aside from the continuity problems this presents and a slightly questionable age difference between the actresses, seeing Ilene on my set again at least for a couple days this week will be a highlight of an already incredible run: Robin escapes Jerry Jacks? I'm there. Douche-bag Morgan (who's biggest asset is his ability to look incredible mostly naked) is siding with his mob dad's biggest rival? Awesome. And lots of Diane and little airtime for the drippy teen storyline that was DOA when the show started it a few months ago. "Cartini" knows how to cut it's losses. And did I mention that there are lots of shirtless guys? This is what happens when your head writer and executive producer are out gay men who know what their audience wants to see. Straight guys must be bummed that there's not as much tit and ass as there has been in years past. No, really, I've met them, there are straight guys who watch soaps. They live next door to the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot. :) (Above: Ilene joins me as a guest at Bingo in April 2010).

But my cigar-filled, bourbon swilling home life doesnt end with a happy devotion to CBS and Fox sports or to keeping up with Port Charles, no I recently discovered a bizarre comic book that I'm instantly hooked on - AfterLife with Archie, an ongoing title devoted to an alternate universe where the Riverdale gang turns into zombies. I grew up reading Superman, Batman, The Flash but over the years, there were a lot of reboots and relaunches and that kind of killed my enthusiasm for the genre. But as I have a lot of friends who either work directly in the comic book industry or are lifelong fans (one friend's super hero costumes are astounding and he models them at various cons) I get a periphreal awareness of what's new through them. And when I heard about AfterLife with Archie, I knew I had to check it out. The story is by Harvey Award-winning writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Carrie, Archie meets Glee) and Eisner-winning artist Francesco Francavilla (Batman, Black Beetle. In case you needed any more reason, the press on the book describes it as the "Arch-pocalypse". Need I say more? There's a second printing of the first issue coming out on November 6th and the second issue goes on sale on November 20.

Well, games gearing up - see you this Wednesday at Uncle Charlies for our annual Costume Contest where you could win $100 cash prize!

 

Will Clark Journal - Pre Pride Fun with XXXer Drew Sumrok and Perf Artist Ari Kiki! #pornobingo @AriKiki_HotMess @DrewSumrokXXX

For our annual big Pre Pride show on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013, I invited the New York Gay Football League (who sent their team, New York Shade) to join us and asked XXX stud Drew Sumrok and performance artist Ari Kiki to be my guests - it was a kooky, weird kind of night but sort of the perfect ending to an odd, busy month.

But aside from one partygoer throwing me some massive shade - which is always kind of a shock - because I think we're all teasing and talking in a great deal of fun with everyone in a kind of light hearted, inoffensive way... but shade is always a massive turn off especially at my own event.

But despite that, the night was fun, fast paced and hey, it's hard for one to say that they've had a bad night when they got to sit next to Drew's guns like I did. I'm not really that shallow, but those are some serious arms. Yum. Not to objectify you, Drew. LOL :) But just sayin.

And Ari Kiki lived up to her twitter name and was some kind of hot mess, but we all appreciated her show especially the roll across the floor of the stage - that had me laughing and perked up my evening even more!

Click here to see pics and yes that's Sir Ari Gold who came by to hang out with Drew (Photos by AB).

 

 

 

Let's Do the Time Warp TONIGHT at Stonewall! @MattKnife @WittiRepartee #boylesque #NYC

Oh my friends, you are in for a treat tonight at Stonewall as producer and emcee Matt Knife and I co-host this month's edition of "Homo Erectus" tonight - with a 'time warp' theme. Lots of great fun, Alfred Lewd Douglas, Witti Repartee and lots of fun, strange acts throughout the evening, starting at 9 - arrive early and get a table or a seat, it's usually standing room only. It's a $10 cover and a two drink minimum and as you know, Stonewall has fabulously cheap, er... affordable drinks. LOL

What you MUST do if you come is make a lot of noise -hoot n holler and cheer and applaud because the more fun you have, the more fun we have.. no, wait, I mean, the more fun you have, the more fun we have. No, wait that's still not quite right. Well, anyway, join us for the show tonight - DJ Peter Parker spins and as they say in Wisconsin, a good time will be had by all (no, not Will Clark will be had by all although I'm not necessarily opposed to that either). :)

See you tonight for HOMO ERECTUS!!

Tonight August 7th, The Will Clark Show feat. P*rno Bingo with the Gay Men's Chorus Queen Lily Putian & Chorus Butch Doug Roach!

Good morning peeps - hope you all have been well, I've been working like a dog lately - but good to be working hard than hardly working (that is what they say down at the nuclear plant, isn't it Homer?... and yes that's a very obscure reference for my Simpsons buddies)

Anyway, tonight I've got a special show for you tonight Wednesday August 7th - - the Gay Men's Chorus will be joining to raise some funds and well, raise some hell. Because that's what the Chorus does - as well as singing (although I'm pretty sure I didn't really need to point that last bit out).

Chorus Queen Lily Putian and Chorus Butch Doug Roach will be on hand to guide us through the evening with surprise performances from the Chorus and XXX prizes. How can you miss it? You can't so don't try. Yeah, it might rain, and it might rain HARD... but then, don't we like it hard? (to relieve the humidity, get your mind out of the gutter).

This weekend I'll be in PTown for a couple days enjoying the scenery. Then, next Wednesday August 14th Witti Repartee guest hosts a show with a great lineup including singer Matt Ryanz and Boylesque star turned Cockyboys porn star, Go Go Harder. And if that's not enough to get you all hot n bothered, I'll be co-emceeing the Thursday August 15th edition of "Homo Erectus" with "Homo Erectus" producer, Matt Knife. Lewd Alfred Douglass and the always fabulous Witt Repartee will also be making appearances as we wend our way through time (and I am pretty sure you might want to practice your jump to the left beforehand so that you're all prepared for the grand finale). :)

I'm kind of in love with August this year - great weather, fun times and a busy schedule - hey, it keeps me off the street. :)

@MrEagleNYC2013 #WisconsinAIDSRide Queened and Leathered Out at P*rno Bingo April 3rd, 2013

@MrEagleNYC2013 #WisconsinAIDSRide Queened and Leathered Out at P*rno Bingo April 3rd, 2013

Someone once said to me, fairly curtly, that they found it ridiculous that I would waste any time at all posting pics from Bingo from weeks that were even two or three weeks passed, much less two to three to four months in the past. I guess I understand that. In today's era where pics are posted as something happens, I might as well be postin pics from a decade ago.

But you know, it matters to me and I'm pretty sure it matters to the guests and the stars that show up for our little soiree every Wednesday night .... and while I wish my life was constructed to do it the day after, I kind of find it nice to be able to look back at these times with some fondness.

Like the April 3rd night. I had just started the contract on the day job and I think I was kind of in a stunned state during this show. I'd gone to what seemed like a normal temp job, and suddenly I was thrust into helping plan a dozen events for hundreds and hundreds of people in several locations in the tri state area. Yikes. I do love it but oy, I was not prepared for it.

But I have to say.... as the weeks have gone by, I have found a certain kind of joy in doing the show. Since the job is so button up, showing up at Uncle Charlies and drinking and saying all sorts of naughty things, is a great release.

Anyway, I welcomed Gay Men's Chorus Queen Lily Putian and current Mr. Eagle Arsenio as my guests that night - and we raised funds for Terry Christopher's Wisconsin AIDS Ride. The place was packed with Chorus people throughout the evening and we raised a few bucks for Terry's ride, which is coming up.

Terry is, by coincidence, Bingo's beneficiary next week, Wednesday July 17. And also by coincidence, this Sunday's Bad Boys on the Hudson (the final one by the way in case you hadn't heard) will benefit Arsenio's Cycle for the Cause ride in late September. And if you're looking for more return engagements, look to August 7th when Lily and the Chorus Butch will darken our door again - and unleash all manners of Chorus talent out into the world. More on that in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, you can check out the night through a few pics, courtesy of our photographer, AB.

Naturally, there'll be more pics of other weeks coming soon (hot Will Swagger, Mike Dreyden pics & more!) .

 

 

Good morning Peeps - DOMA today, Bingo tonight! #pornobingo

We're all waiting breathlessly for the Supreme Court decision on DOMA today, scheduled to be released at 10am... and there is, as you know, lots of fervor surrounding this issue for our community.

For me, born in 1964, I never thought that I'd see same sex marriage become legal anywhere in my lifetime much less in a significant amount of world society. Not that I'm complacent, but, it's hard not to look at all that we do have and think, 'you mean we could have MORE?" When you've been starved for a long time, even a celery stalk feels like a banquet (and btw most poor suckers are starving). And yet of course we cannot put down our metaphorical swords just yet - we still have a tremendous amount of work to do to get us to a place of full equality. And while you can't legislate good will, you can establish laws that both acknowledge the support that we already have and pave the way for more acceptance down the line.

So, today we will weep in defeat (again) or will cheer in success (again) ... and if there is good news from the Court this morning, we'll converge at Stonewall to cheer and celebrate, just like we did two years ago when Marriage Equality was passed in New York state. And, afterwards, I'll be leading a night of "Porno Bingo" at Uncle Charlies starting at 9pm to raise funds for the Gay Football League - featuring the talented Ari Kiki and XXX stud Drew Sumrok who'll have some Ray Dragon dvds to give away as prizes  - and a smelly jockstrap that'll go up for auction. What better wedding present to give to a couple of your just married friends than a used porn star jock? (You won't find that in the bridal registry at Macy's).

As always, we're at Uncle Charlies from 9pm to 11pm. Charlies is located at 139 E. 45th St. between Lexington and Third. There's no cover, we've got cheap booze - and even cheaper men. Come on by and celebrate or commiserate - I'll see you there and then!

Lewd Behavior Tonight at the Will Clark Show feat. P*rno Bingo! Farrah Moans! Joey Ruckus and Lewd Alfred!

TONIGHT Wednesday June 5th I'm back to the show from my crazy/intense work week along with guest co-host Farrah Moans! Plus, because who doesn't like being entertained, I've got two additional special guests - singer Joey Ruckus and Boylesque performer Lewd Alfred!  This will be Joey's third time at the show and Lewd Alfred's first.

Proceeds from the sale of Bingo cards will go to benefit the Arts Project Cherry Grove (see below for info). As usual, I have erotic prizes (including from our newest returning partner, Eden Fantasies) and of course cheapo drinks slung by our awesome bartender, Manny. AB will be at the camera and you know, anything can happen.

See you tonight from 9pm to 11pm at Uncle Charlies located at 139 E. 45th between Lexington and Third in NYC! (North side of the street, middle of the block, under the blue awning up to the second floor)!

Good Memorial Day Peeps! Molly "Equality" Dykeman Turns It Out Tuesday May 28 in NYC @TheFckingWorld

Good morning peeps! Hope your Sunday night was a blast - it was a kind of a channel surfing night in the Clark household as I toggled between Liberace, the Smash series finale and this weeks penultimate ep of Mad Men's sixth season. I have to admit that there was a little bit of a 'can't turn away its so horrifying' aspect to Liberace and Smash has always been my favorite show to hate watch... but it's Mad Men that has my heart (and apparently if the ep a couple weeks ago is any indication, Don would fit right in at this past weekend's IML exgtravaganza). 

Anyway, tomorrow night, Tuesday May 28th, you have the second of three chances to catch Molly "Equality" Dykeman's new one woman show THE F*CKING WORLD ACCORDING TO MOLLY in the soloNOVA Festival at the IRT Theater located at 154 Christopher Street - 3rd Floor (long time GLBT theatergoers will remember that Wings Theater used to be located in the basement of 154.. RIP!).

There is sure to be poetry and sure to be foul language and probably lots of references to 'vagiiiina' (naturally) but it'll be 100% Molly (Ms. Dykeman if you're nasty).

The Tuesday May 28th show is at 9pm and the only other performance will be Saturday June 1st at 3pm (that's one of those time slots that you dread as an actor especially if it's a nice day... so if you can't make the Tuesday show, show Molly some love on Saturday - run time is one hour so you can cruise the piers, see the show, and then work your way up Christopher St. starting with Rockbar).

Tickets are $20 ($21.68 with service fee) and you can click here to the Brown Paper Tickets site to get 'em. Molly's show is written and performed by Andrea Alton, directed by Molly Marinik and choreographed by John Paolillo.

You know, I was a guest on Molly's Xmas show and just realized I got a video of the entire audience (and it was packed) saying "Porrrrrrrrrno Bingo!" .. I need to find that! LOL

 

Good Afternoon Peeps! Hotties That Make The World Go 'Round @CandySamples @BryanSlaterXXX

Good afternoon peeps, it's been awhile! Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day weekend whether you're leathering it up in Chicago at International Mr. Leather (Good luck tonight Arsenio!) or one of a dozen other choice spots around the country (Fire Island, PTown, et al).

Bingo's been great lately and I wish I could say "I'll see you all this Wednesday" but I'll be out of town on a work-thing - but thankfully the ever awesome Candy Samples will guest host for me and will have, as her guest, XXX star Bryan Slater who'll be bringing some Ray Dragon and Titan flicks he's in to give away as prizes. AB will be there shooting the event and Manny will be at the bar slinging drinks.

And our beneficiary? Well, we're raising funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - an org that's there for people who are on the brink of taking their own life. I realize that's a pretty heavy topic for us to tackle (although it's not the first time the AFSP has been a beneficiary) given that we're just a little fundraising event tucked away on the east side playing dollar card bingo ... but given the rash of porn star suicides over the past year and a half, we're all concerned that maybe people just don't know what resources are out there.

Now I don't pretend to know what was going on in the minds of Arpad and Roman and Wilfried and Daddy Zeus and others, but I do know that transitioning out of a porn career is tough and that getting old and sick is a bitch (given the labyrinthian nature of our health care system) and the thought of losing any of my friends not to mention a husband would be devastating (in fact, May 31st will mark 20 years since I lost one of my best friends to AIDS... I still feel the affects of that loss).

So, on Wednesday May 29th, I hope that those of you who support the porn industry and love our guys will consider coming to Bingo and having some fun with Bryan and Candy and/or clicking here to support the org do the incredible work that they do.

Speaking of which, some of us here in NYC have been bantering around ideas these past few weeks of how to prevent further deaths. I know that the Lucas Ent guys are talking to Chi Chi and mr Pam this weekend while they're all in Chicago for the Grabbys. We're going to pool ideas and at least attempt to find a solution.

On a lighter note, speaking of hotties, pictured here is Danny Wright from Falcons ROOMMATES released late in 2012. You can see more of this flick by clicking here... no particular reason why I'm running this pic (he's not booked for bingo any time soon.. frowny) other than they sent it to me (still vaguely porn press even after all this time) and so why not share?

Have a great Sunday all!

Good morning peeps and a Word About Tonight's Prrrrrno Bingo - May 1st

Good morning peeps - although I'm working what might be my most grueling job yet, Im happy to be doing something that I am actually good at and well, just working period. And at least there are perks - last night I was at a party where Jon Bon Jovi performed live. I have to admit that I'm a bit of a fan and was kind of starstruck (or am I not supposed to admit that being a gay man in the big city?).

Anyway, tonight I've got a great big show planned fo you and hope you're able to come on out and have some fun with us - we'll be raising funds for singer Terry Christopher's Wisconsin AIDS Ride - Terry always brings fun prizes to giveaway and I think I heard him say something about a basket of vodka. I guess we'll find out. Terry and I have been pals for years and he always brings a good crew of friends to play and have fun throughout the evening.

Plus, my guests are some of my favorite New Yorkers - the singing duo of Fein and Dandee who will be accompanying Boylesque star Matt Knife on two sexy strips. Matt produces (and now sometimes emcees!) his monthly "Homo Erectus" Boylesque shows at Stonewall. <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Times New Roman"; panose-1:0 2 2 6 3 5 4 5 2 3; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} @font-face {font-family:Arial; panose-1:0 2 11 6 4 2 2 2 2 2; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:50331648 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-parent:""; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} -->

About the Wisconsin AIDS Ride

The AIDS Ride concept was conceived nearly 20 years ago as a way to build community, challenge people, and raise needed money for this cause.

 

There have been numerous rides since then in cities all across the United States. The Midwest Rides began with the Heartland AIDS Ride, a 500-mile ride from Minneapolis, through Wisconsin, to Chicago. Over 1,200 riders raised money and participated in this event. In 2002, volunteers and staff at AIDS Network decided to produce a ride that would keep the donations and route more local in order to maximize the return of funds to AIDS Network's service area. It was named AIDS Network Cycles Together (ACT).

 

The ACT Rides have met their goals. Over the course of ten ACT Rides, over 1,100 riders and 650 crew have traveled through small towns and cities all over southwestern Wisconsin, spread the word that AIDS continues to affect our state, and raised more than $2.5 million. An incredible average of 85% of funds have gone directly to AIDS Network and the services that they provide.
