We’ve got a delicious bucket of hope! I’m sure you’ve check out Presidential hopeful Barak Obama dazzling speech to the world in Germany, while rival John McCain spoke to diners in a German Restaurant in Ohio. Talk about a cartoonish contrast between candidates.

One looks like the angry old man next door chasing children off the front lawn with his rake, the other looks like a “historial figure.” I was so impressed with his speech, referencing a very mature idea of global citizenship not heard from any political candidiate since the late 1970s, when Carl Sagan brought up the idea in his book and award winning PBS miniseries “Cosmos.”

Reaching out to skeptics back home, Obama Herladed the “dream of freedom” declaring:
“I love America… People of Berlin, people of the world this is our moment. This is our time… I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen - a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.” Wow.

Obama promised us a bucket of hope and delivered a all-you-can-eat buffet, with self-serve sundae bar of hope!

On today’s show- we follow-up on the kick off of the M-Network, the gay social event we helped to launch in Chicago, our live podcast on alcohol and the Reveal Party for the TLC’s reality tv show “What Not to Wear.”

Despite being on Monday night was a big success! The intimate crowed enjoyed the performances by performance artist Tim Miller and comedian Adam Guerino. We’re really excited about this venture and we hope it grows. Please join us next week as Master Sommelier Alpana Singh to host a Zodiac Wine Tasting where she’ll match world-class wines with your zodiac sign. Wine and light food will be provided.

The live podcast at Sidetrack about alcohol and the GLBT community will be up later this week. It went off without a hitch and was well received by everyone in attendance.

A special thank you to everyone who came to the Reveal Party for TLC’s What Not To Wear. Amanda looked fabulous in her purple dress, silver pumps and new hair style.

The highlight of the evening was when the director, Jen, asked what people liked the best about her new look and Amanda’s friend shouted “her boobs!” and then proceeded to fondle Amanda. Although it won’t make the final cut, we can only hope that TLC will put out a “Too Hot for What Not to Wear” video.

The new X-Files movie features the ultimate boogie men, a gay couple married in Massachusetts! This may be a bit of a spoiler but when is Hollywood going to learn that that gays or trannies aren’t the enemy?

SPOILER! The movie started out ok and we felt like were seeing old friends on the big screen but we were really disappointed when the storyline devolved to feature a psychic link between a convicted pedophile priest and his former victim who kills with his boyfriend to get a new body. End Spoiler!

I remember the X-Files being smart and savvy and I just wonder what the hell they were thinking of producing this lackluster and insulting film. We waited all these years for this?

PLUS: We have an interview with author and talk show host Scott Sherman, who’s got a fabulous new book out First You Fall: A Kevin Connor Mystery, a funny mystery about a sexy gay hustler with a heart of gold. Makes an excellent summer reading, and why not? The main character loves to listen to the Feast of Fools.

Scott’s has produced two podcasts, Digital Photography Show and the archived The Gay Parenting Show. We met Scott last year at the New Media Expo when were both up for the top award for best podcast. Neither of us won and as Scott says “I’m kinda glad neither of us won or else we wouldn’t like each other.” Well, we would have liked you anyway Scott, if we had won.
