Too short

29. April 2009 by admin.

My head is spinning.  It has been a very busy week in my life. 

We just released our May issue of Out and, if that isn’t enough, we have been busy updating www.outonline.com.

 I admit, it is a chore, a fun one at that, keeping the site updated, adding new features to the newspaper, keeping new messages flowing on my Facebook and outonline’s Twitter and broadcasting our live shows. 

Thanks for visiting this blog, our website and for reading the the newspaper.  That alone, makes it all worth while.

Over the next few days, I will be busy distributing Out.  I love getting out and visiting with all the LGBT bars, clubs and establishments.  We also drop newspapers at LGBT friendly organizations and businesses like area colleges, Borders Books, restaurants and so much more.  Out’s distribution is so vast that it is hard to realize how many locations where it is available.  It has taken 37 years to get to this point.  I thank you, the reader for the hundreds of drop-off locations, thousands of copies printed and readership of over 30,000.  Add your business today.

You already know Out newspaper is the largest LGBT publication in the tri-state, but did you know www.outonline.comis the largest LGBT wesbite in Pittsburgh?  Our site is nearing 200,000 unique visitors over the past few months! 

As many of you know, David Morrow, a former owner of Pegasus and Sidekicks passed away last Friday.  David gave so much to his bars, the LGBT youth of the city and organizations.  Services were held in his hometown on Tuesday.  Thank you to all that attended.  Scott Noxon, current owner of the Eagle, Pegasus and There attended with Fritz, Rodney and several others.  Scott informed me that turnout was good with a large amount of GLBT people from Pittsburgh.  Probably the most gays David’s hometown has ever seen or the gayest it has ever been…

I guess this is another reminder that life is too short.   We need to make the most out of it and be kind to one another.  David and Jeff Howells have shown us that even in a small amount of time, you can make a difference for the LGBT community and in so many lives.  I can hear David now…  “Honey, life is too short, grab a cocktail and start enjoying it.”

Keep Reading…
