I am a writer and artist living in Brooklyn, NY. I currently work full time producing Web content for PBS. I also write short fiction and cultural commentary, which has appeared in 
I know I’m like 6 years late in watching Small Town Gay Bar, but I just spotted it on Netflix and it was a totally worthwhile way to spend an afternoon.
Back when I was in college, I really wanted to find some way to fund a road trip and do a photo project taking large format pictures of gay bars along the Mississippi River. It was kind of this idea to try and combine classic Americana with the history of current gay life in. I even had a draft of an artist statement about how the photos would simultaneously reference Walker Evans church photos and the history of American photography alongside the history of LGBT folk.
It never happened (because goddamn it’s expensive), so I am so glad someone made this documentary. Plus the soundtrack is rad -it’s all sorts of Hidden Cameras and Broken Social Scene stuff that really brought me back to college and which I still love.
