Mocha Lounge video blog (Ep. 5): The boys of "Christopher Street" & our Must List picks for 2008
After a holiday hiatus, the Lounge is back with a new look and location for their season finale! In this episode, Rob and Ramon talk to the creator and star of the new black gay dramedy Christopher Street about creating a show for young black gay men, and the inevitable comparisons to Noah's Arc. Also, Rob and Ramon give you their Must List Picks of 2008 (think drag queens and marriage, but not exactly in that order). The Mocha Lounge is taking a break, but we will be back in the spring with more exclusive interviews, provocative topics, and the kind of content about gay men of color that you won't get anywhere else. Check it out after the break! Submitted by on Thu, 2009-01-15 14:34. |

Great job as usual, guys
Christopher Street looks very interesting. I'm especially pleased to see that it deals with class and money issues. This is a very important part of life -- especially LBGT life. But most of the time it's either glossed over or ignored.
And speaking of Christopher Street (the place) I'd love to see coverage in the future of what's going on in the West Village. I'm from New York originally and back in the late 60's and early 70's the West Village was my playground. The kind of scene that I knew then has moved on to Chelsea and more recently Hell's Kitchen, I'm told. (I've been L.A.-based sing '76 and haven't been to New York since 99) I hear the West Village is dominated by young LBGTs of color. If you could do some reporitng on this scene and how it's evolving I'd really love it.
More shoulder please!
Thanks R&R!
I had heard about Christopher Street a year or so back (hmm, maybe it was here on AE?) but had forgotten about i. It's nice to know the project still has legs.
As for what I would like to see in the next series...hmm, well, with an unlimited budget and a private jet at your disposal, I would love to see stories that look at gay life in other countries and continents :) More realistically? How about interviewing people and looking at issues gay people in some migrant communities? I do understand, of course, that this would depend greatly on finding willing participants from said communities.
How strange the sound
