Everytime I see dear Vito Russo I get choked up. He was such a brilliant person who died far too prematurely.

This was the original Keys..Monday was the big night there. I remember Kevin was the owner. I was there in 1983. I remember very specially in January 1983 that there were fundraiser flyers for something called AIDS. I had been clubbing sice August 1982. It was at this bar I asked.."whats this AIDS thing -what does ot mean?..(thats when and where i found out). The person I was with than said "you haven't heard about that thing thats killing all those guys in SF(?). I was lucky to experience the last great summer(82) before knowing about this disease.

…and why was it a surprise to some when Lily Tomlin FINALLY OFFICIALLY came out? 😂

19:15. I'd give anything to go back in time, to 1984. Despite AIDS and no cell phone, it was a saner and more unified world, especially when compared to today.

The IsIs Bar...lmao! Thanks for posting these !
