Nope. Sorry. No joy in Mudville tonight.

It was exciting when they annouced the category. It was exciting to hear the presenter say “Damon and Hunter: Doing it Together, Comstock Films.” It was surprising when applause broked out from a few different point around the theater in response. But the winner isn’t “Damon & Hunter.” It’s Gay Sex in the 70s, a film that Peggy and I watched and enjoyed.

Am I dissappointed? Well sure. Who doesn’t like winning? But mostly I’m just tired. My wake-up time is still on East Coast school dad time, which means I’ve had about 8 hour sleep in the last three days. Hopefully tonight my eyes will stay shut until at least 6AM West coast time. Tomorrow I’m going brunch with Matt and Khym. It will be the first time I’ve seen them since we shot just over two years ago!

I’m off to San Francisco this morning to show the Comstock colors at the GayVN Awards, where DAMON AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER is nominated in the Best Alternative Release category. (I guess that means I’m alt-porn after all.)

I’m also looking forward to seeing Violet Blue, Blowfish’s own Christophe, Shine Louise Houston, Thomas R. Roche, and last but definitely not least, brunch with that loviest of loving couples, Matt and Khym. That should be almost enough company to keep me from becoming terminally homesick.

There may be rants and rambling from San Francisco, there may not be. Either way, please cross your fingers for DAMON & HUNTER. It would tickle me to see a GayVN statue next to the big acrylic buttplug “Emma” award XANA & DAX got in Toronto last Summer.

DAMON AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER is nominated in the Best Alternative Release category in the 2006 GayVN Awards. Also nominatied are: GAY SEX IN THE 70s, STONEWALL & RIOT, STORY FILMS CLASSICS: THE WILD ONES and THAT MAN: PETER BERLIN

Our thanks to the editors at GayVN for putting us in such esteemed company!
