GGT's Online Auction For All This And More Begins World AIDS Day December 1st at midnight!

Question: Where did 2010 GO?

We actually don’t know the answer to that, but we do know it was an amazing year in pop culture, from books to movies to music. And we’ve been on top of all of it all year long, stockpiling the best-of-the-best of pop offerings.

So please join Shaun Proulx Media in celebrating all that was pop culture in 2010 with GGT’s Ultimate 2010 Pop Culture Prize Pack Auction. We’ve got two packs assembled, each with a retail value of over $500, and on December 1st, World AIDS Day, we’ll let the bidding begin right here on GGT. Proceeds from this online auction will be split evenly between The AIDS Committee of Toronto and The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.

Plus, everyone who bids will be entered in our draw to win a 2010 Pop Culture Prize Pack of their very own.  Here’s a partial list of what’s up for grabs:

The countdown to all your holiday gift-giving done-like-dinner is officially ON:

Since I’m pimping my videos, which I call experimental video instead of experimental theatre, I thought I’d through this recent one out. It’s my submission to win a free DVD from Kathy Griffin. Of course I can just by the damn thing, but this is such more fun. Of course it is probably NSFW

I had taken a break from posting. As the seasonal blues started drifting my way (and I’m not talking Christmas but the bleak sunless winter days) and negative forces were upon me, there was only one thing I could think of doing and that was make a gratitude list.

This is just a start and I’ll post more as they come along.

Gratitude List 2009

I’m grateful for:

(added Dec 30) God sending me the most beautiful cock in a state of semi erection in the showers of the YMCA, and at the same time allowing me to shower next to the cute red head that I finally got to see naked who lives in my building.

(Dec 29) getting laid

-the great friends who’ve learned to trust to simply be myself.

-the lesbian couple co-parenting my PTSD dog

-my little Hildy, 2.5 pound Chihuahua

-my sponsor made it out of the hospital and is doing well

- finally finding the courage to challenge myself and take health risks despite my great fear of leaving what I know for something new.

-my great voice coach Christine, a woman who it turns out I can tell everything to, and I mean everything, and she doesn’t bat an eye.

-all the tremendous community support

-all the great partnerships, for those who come together to work on positive visions instead diverseness

-Obama was elected

-Joan Rivers on The Celebrity Apprentice

-My big über gay pilgrimage to see Mylène Farmer at the Stade de France, Paris – Love this video, the uncensored version with lots of body covered in blood in a church images. It upset a lot of Catholics. That’s my girl.

-my 92-year-old grandma is still around.

-being able to reconnect with friends in Europe

-having been able to visit Mexico City and see my Rwandan friends who came in for the conference.

Over the last six months or so, on my journey of personal development I’ve had a re-occurring theme. Taking no ownership on having an opinion in certain settings.

However, when in meetings, or even with friends, I turn into someone void of any analytical thought waiting to hear the first opinion so I have something upon which I can come up with an idea of what I think.

Recently I had gone to see District 9, and for the first two weeks, I had absolutely no opinion on whether or not I liked it. Finally I ended up with the thumbs up for it.

One friend of mine who is hyper critical of movies I actually feel afraid to say I like something.

What’s that all about? Read the full story

My friend Barry and I made our second pilgrimage to see Kathy Griffin. Admittedly, we’ve slid down the glamour scale from having seen her in New York to bottoming out at Casino Rama, including the near two-hour drive with bad traffic. Read the full story
