FROM
THE
EDITOR
As as this issue I would like
to welcome our new readers in
Oklahoma City. I am sure our
directory for Oklahoma City is
not complete, but I hope we will
have it brought up to date in the
very near future.
Labor Day Weekend will soon
be here and activity should be just
about everywhere. Sally's in the
900 Lovett complex in Houston has
not filled us in on the details of
their activities, but all they will
say is that it will be a surprise!
And speaking of surprises, the
move of the Mr. Gay America Pageant seems to have surprised a
lot of people. The show should
bring in a lot of out of towners into
the Bayou City.
And when you think of holidays
you have to think of the Bourbon
Pub and Parade in New Orleans.
If there is anything to do with a
party, you can bet the Pub will
be the number one spot to be at!
After Dark Bookstore in Houston now has a half of block of
free parking across the street
from its front doors. That
should help alleviate some of the
late night traffic problems.
And speaking of After Dark,
well, that's where this issue's
cover boy comes from. Twenty-

Due to the closing of the Bayou
Landing Club in Dallas, and also
to the uncertainty of its re-opening,
a new site was found for the First
Annual Mr. Gay America Pageant
to be held Sunday, September 5th,
Labor Day Weekend.
The Mr. Gay America Board
of Directors wishing not to change
the date of the contest was not able
to find suitable facilities available
five year old Archie Russ takes
over this week's cover. Archie
is the manager of After Dark in
Houston and can be found there

Jann Russell will be hosting
the Miss Gay Texas At Large at
the Dallas OP in September. It
should really be quite a show!

4th Annual Miss Gay Southwest
Texas Pageant is slated of Sept.

Hundreds of persons filled the

crowd to watch the Mr. Gay Texas
1976 Pageant. Contestants came
from across Texas to compete for
the title and chance to try for the

Eleven contestants competed
in sportswear, talent, and swim-

For the first time in the history of the pageant, a tie occurred
between two of the top three finishers and a tie breaking interview
question was asked.
