Fabio's Top Chef Reunion Dinner: A F**king Trainwreck

I know--you read the title and thought, Gee Kev, tell us how you really feel.

I was going to take November off from writing, but then I stumbled across this little gem.

Bravo trying to shove Fabio down our throats.

First of all, I don't believe that he won Fan Favorite. Anyone who watched that season would have voted for Carla. If they wanted to vote for an asshole with broken English, Stefan probably would have gotten the vote.

Now Bravo wants to spin-off Fabio. So, they have him host the Reunion Special and act like a talk show host.

Here's a suggestion, Bravo. When you want someone to host a dinner party; get someone who can formulate an English sentence.

I loved when Marcel got mad at Fabio for trying to start shit, and Fabio was bewildered.

You could almost see him thinking--But thassa what Brahvo tolda me to say!

I love when he stood up at the table and yelled at all of them for--wait for it--wanting to be civilized.

How dare they not want to drudge up old drama that's already been recycled on the reunion shows they do EVERY SINGLE YEAR!

I love the Reunion shows too, but if you're going to take out the competition element and then have Fabio run the whole shindig; it's both boring and pointless.

Next time give them a good old-fashioned competition. Don't sit them around a table and hope they throw knives at each other.

Lame, Bravo. Really lame.

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

The Community and The Hypnotist

  Two years ago, I started interviewing people in the theater world about the problems within that community. All the subjects of the interviews remained anonymous to encourage people to speak directly and plainly without worrying that there would be consequences down the line. (Of course, even then, some people felt like outing themselves and getting in hot water, but we're going to leave that water under another bridge.) When I decided it was time to bring the series to a close, it was partly because I thought it had run its course, and partly because I had a new topic I wanted to tackle. While I've had my issues with theater and the people who do it, I've never felt like I didn't belong there, whereas from the moment I came out, I've never truly felt like a part of the gay community. To be clear, that probably has way more to do with me than the community, but it's something I wanted to explore, and I knew how I wanted to do it. The theater interviews were al...
