The Book Project
Since the beginning of my research into the history of gay bars, creating a published version of the stories and logos of the gay bars we loved and lost has always been part of the plan.
That aspect of the project has finally begun in earnest. However, after reviewing the information I have amassed about more than 1500 gay bars gone by it has become obvious that one book will not be enough.
Numerous online polls have helped me decide that the first in a series of GayBarchives books will focus on 'MegaBars and SuperDiscos'. I am currently conducting a series of video interviews with owners, managers and patrons of these mind-boggling venues to add to the already substantial research I have conducted. The book will follow soon thereafter.
STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES ON THE BOOKS.
