I’M BACK IN SEATTLE AGAIN
But I don't want to forget to mention that topping off a long weekend of porn were the 2008 Maleflixx Awards that were held at San Francisco's W Hotel.
Hot House was the only company that won two awards this year — for Butch Alley and Private Lowlife — and it was great to see Hot House Steven, Brent and all the Hot House staff acknowledged for their hard work and dedication and to receive this prestigious industry award.
Steven and Brent with just a few of the Hot House staff that made these awards possible.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; you can have all of the hottest menz in the world in front of the camera fucking the bejeezus out of each other and if you don't have a quality team behind the camera you ain't got shit. Hot House has the very best of the best working behind the scenes and they deserve every bit of acknowledgement that they get and then some.
From the Maleflixx Awards we segued two floors down to the W Hotel's mezzanine level where Falcon Studios was throwing a big cocktail soiree — emphasis on the COCK.
A whole posse of Falcon stars were there and Erik Rhodes and I spent a nice time together discussing the therapeutic nature of blogging. After he told me that his blog was just about the only thing keeping him from killing himself I suggested that maybe he might want to consider both upping the amount of time he spends on his blog {as well as upping his meds} and that maybe seeking additional assistance would be helpful too.
If you haven't found Erik's blog yet definitely check it out. It's very much like a slow motion car accident — fascinating and scary all at the same time.
Erik Rhodes, Steven Scarborough and Mathew Rush at the Falcon party at the W.
The Falcon party was quite fancy — complete with fancy little poofy little salmony little thingys to eat that were absolutely DIVOON! Plus there was an open bar which made things quite festive after about an hour.
In addition to all the porn stars and film company owners there were a bunch of industry sales reps from various companies like AVN, Maleflixx etc., who were present and in my opinion some of these behind the scenes people were as hot or hotter than the porn stars.
For instance…….
David — AVN's "top" sales rep. He had an ass on him that would make a good dog beg.
This adorable sales twink representative would do ANYTHING to make a sale. When I told him to show me his stomach his shirt was off before I could finish the sentence.
Then there's this lovely shot {taken later at the GAYVN after-party} of yours truly with his new future boyfriend, porn star Rick van Sant.
Rick and I wanted to make hand puppets out of each other but I was starting to feel the effects of tequila and a Vicodin — that I had taken for pain and not for recreation!! – and I knew that if I went home with him things would get out of hand {no pun intended} and I might not ever get back to Steven and Brent's house {or to Seattle}.
So we've bookmarked each other for future reference.
Then there's this great picture of three wonderful friends of mine outside the de Young Museum on Sunday where we spent a glorious day getting some culture and seeing the sights.
The de Young had the most incredible Gilbert and George show hung and we were treated to a superb tour of the show by Ivan Vera — who in addition to being an up and coming pornographer of great skill is also a world class art curator who used to work for both Cheim & Read Gallery and Mary Boone in New York, so he knows his shit.

At the de Young and confused by all the culture.

Home again at last! I was majorley disappointed that Hot House was shut out at the 2008 GAYVNS since they make such a quality product compared to the others in the industry. At least they picked up a couple at the maleflixxx. What was going on at the GAYVNS? Was it political? Are they just being stooopid? You look awfully hot for a man in his dotage and not at all confused. Look at you picking up all the young porn hotties! I cannot detect a trace of that young innocent jarhead you posted a while back. Like fine wine…

Sounds like you had quite a trip. We had the Cybersocket awards in Phoenix a couple of years ago. I DJed for one of the parties they had, but truth be told, I don't think it was anywhere near as fun as what you described. I'm glad you had a chance to talk with Erik. He seems like a good kid that just needs some guidance. When I read his blog I alternate from wanting to do a Cher in Moonstruck slap — "Snap out of it!" to wishing I could just hold the guy and tell him that everything is gonna be ok.

The porn star pics are great but its all about you four daddys. You and Ivan and Steven and Brent are on fire and much more my cuppa than any old porn star. Yummy yumm yum yum!

Scott, you're looking pretty hot yourself.

More Rick Van Sant!!! I hope you put in a VERY STRONG WORD to Steven and Brent at HH what a fine young actor he is, especially considering his "skills" which would be very useful for Club Inferno some day if he ever leaves his contract at Titan Media.

I LOVES me some porn stars but second the motion for the 4 Daddies!

I know the hat might be your trademark, but do you have to wear it everywhere? You would look much better without it.

Actually if you check, Ivan Vera is former porn actor, Gabriel Cortes

I'm on the fence about Rhodes' blog. There seems to be a disturbing pattern to it. A usual post will have him bemoan how unhappy he is, along with a subtle mention that any day now he's going to grow tired of it all and check out. In response, countless numbers of concerned readers will offer sympathies (and sometimes some very good advice), and urge him to seek help. Rhodes, all the while, <I>carefully</I> avoids any implication that he's going to seek out that help, or has ever sought it–yet he has the presence of mind to remind his readers that all of this is <I>not</I> some sort of publicity stunt. And with the next post, this cycle begins all over again.<P>This is a terrible assumption to make about someone who may genuinely be in need of help–but I have the sense that his readers are being played.<BR>

Actually Mike, I went hatless to the GAYVNs but my hair got mussed by a porn star we were giving a ride to during the car ride back home where we regrouped before the after-party and I simply couldn't do a thing with it so I opted for the hat.
I did have a cute dress hat {in black of course} that didn't clash so much with the costume I was wearing but the guy we were giving the lift to and the distraction he was causing was so great that I couldn't focus enough to find it amongst all my shit.
But I'll definitely take your comment under advisement.

OMG! Erick Rhodes is a mess! I suppose she'll be next in line for a nice born-again ex-gay conversion.

Thanks TBall, Boomer and Pyerum for the great comments. Sorry for the delay in replying to the posts. Just got around to viewing the pics online. About Rick Van Sant, he is by far one of my favorite fisting porn stars around. Have caught a few scenes of his and WOW, he is amazing and sexy. Jesse Balboa is still and likely will be at the top for a long time to come, but always room for other sexy masculine fisters who enjoy putting it out there on film.

Oh forgot to make the correction intended, never worked at Mary Boone, though happen to adore her generosity and taste. She always gave me free reign of materials from her stable of artists for the shows I curated. Cheim & Read and Matthew Marks Gallery are two of the biggies and two of my favorite places I worked.
