Mahu Surfer: A Hawaiian Mystery (by Neil S. Plakcy) "Mahu is a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexual, and for police detective Kimo Kanapa’aka, being gay doesn’t make for an easy life. Especially when you’re publicly outed. Now, semi-retired, Kimo must go undercover and stop a brutal killer. Already three surfers have been shot dead, and Kimo must infiltrate the close-knit surfing community, knowing his only way back to active duty is to catch a killer he may know all too well."

ASC Member Recommendation: "This place has great breakfasts. The waffles combo or pancake combo are great. Good coffee never runs dry. Good friendly service. I go here on Saturday morning, no wait. Which I do not know why not. The price is fair. I would go here for breakfast all the time, but I would get fat."

B.B.Q. Potluck

Saturday, April 21 at 7:00 PM

806 Delia Court Arlington, TX 76012 - 817-909-9641

The Lakewood and Arlington Supper Club invite you to a Texas Size BBQ!

The Boys, Beers and Queers potluck event will be the first time the two groups have combined for a night of Texas size camaraderie.

The Lakewood Social Club has a rich 30 year-plus history. It began in the early 1980s by a group of men who lived in the Lakewood area of Dallas. As the years passed, members from all over the metroplex began to be a part of the group.

The Arlington group started 3 years ago this March. The goal was to create a sense of community among the gay men in the Arlington/Mid-cities area. A website keeps the community informed of the monthly book club, breakfast, happy hour, dinner and special events.

The BBQ will follow the Lakewood format.
· The meal is a pot-luck (so men dig out those Texas recipes)
· There will be a $5 per person charge to cover the drinks
· Western attire is encouraged but not required.

Lakewood co-hosts are John Ahne and Sean Stewart; Arlington co-hosts are Terry Garner and Doug Studebaker; and the event will be at the home of Will Fields located in North Arlington.

An Evite is on its way to all members of the ASC; all others may leave a comment in the comment section and your information will be forwarded to the hosts.

*Yes, I realize there is already an event (Main St. Arts Festival) this evening; however, for those not planning to attend the arts festival, please join the festivities at the BBQ!

"Just plain great!!! I love me a hole in the wall in the land of the bland chain restaurant and this, to my surprise, met the criteria. Food was excellent, service was excellent and prices were incredibly reasonable. Thankfully the other reviews were spot on - hence the reason I tried the restaurant in the first place.” – Steve K.

The 19th Wife: A Novel (by David Ebershoff) It is 1875, and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful husband, Brigham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, Ann Eliza embarks on a crusade to end polygamy in the United States. A rich account of her family’s polygamous history is revealed, including how both she and her mother became plural wives. Yet soon after Ann Eliza’s story begins, a second exquisite narrative unfolds–a tale of murder involving a polygamist family in present-day Utah. Jordan Scott, a young man who was thrown out of his fundamentalist sect years earlier, must reenter the world that cast him aside in order to discover the truth behind his father’s death. And as Ann Eliza’s narrative intertwines with that of Jordan’s search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love, family, and faith. (Author's video description)
