Miss Buzz Magazine
One of the fun parts of any change is meeting of new people. When Buzz Magazine changed hands we were excited about all the new people but never thought they would be this celebritized and interesting! Guess who we found in the accounting department????? Miss Marvin Nathan!, A Star on the stage, film & TV. Many of you will remember Marvin as Fran Drescher's cousin (who played a lookalike Cher) on "The Nanny". After a quick unanimous vote, the Tampa Team proclaimed officesette Marvin, "Miss Buzz Magazine!" Check Miss Marvin out at myspace.com/marvinnathan 20401840 . But wait there is more... we also found a new Hottie! Check him out at myspace.com/lee 98894606

Un Believable!!! in the Year 2008
In the small town of Grand Plains, NE there is a 30 year old tradition....The Gay Shame Parade! We feel that the Shame should be on the people of Grand Plains! Read the whole story at...
The second-place float in this year's parade cruises down Grand Plains' picturesque Main Street.
"Every year, the whole town turns out to enjoy Nebraska's famous summer sunshine, sample foods, browse the craft bazaar, and shame homosexuals for their repulsive, decadent behavior," said Frank Mitchell, mayor of Grand Plains, NE and parade marshal. "This year was our biggest turnout yet. Everybody had so much fun ostracizing the gays."
The Posy is in the House
This group of fun loving Cowboys & Cowgirls has been seen popping up all over the bay area. Known to be a good time where ever they pop up at. To learn more about the posy visit Cowgirl Aleta at myspace 225449587
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
On a rainy Tuesday night in Ybor having cocktails with our two best friends when Judy announces she has to leave for a trip to Keith's on Tampa's north side. Of course we all said "were going to!" It was off on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! Into Keith's we were greeted by owner, bartending Mark. Now here is a party guy! Keith's was packed with karaoke fans. After some couching (well actually very little) Judy took the mic and performed. One more drink & Tea Cup sang all cap et low. After a tour of the new art work from friends from New Orleans, displayed on the walls at Keith's, it was time to head out. Another great time at Keith's Gentlemen's Lounge.

Obituary
Alan Ira Dusowitz
February 3, 1956 – August 10, 2007
Alan’s heart gave out and he died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Tampa. He is survived by a sister Carol, brother Herb, and his extended family of loving friends. He was born in Queens, New York and raised in New Port Richey, Florida. He has resided in Tampa since 1993. He was a graduate of the University of Florida, a member of Phi Lambda Phi Social Fraternity, and Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity. He went on to become a stock broker before his heart condition forced an early retirement. He was active in the Cadillac-LaSalle and the Flamingo Auto Group car clubs, and with the West Coast Growlers social club.
Many of you will remember the wonderful “Island Car Shows” that Alan hosted for the club each year at Christmas time. He was best known for his Silver 1963 Cadillac convertible, and his pumpkin colored AMX Javelin SST. He has owned many wonderful cars over the years.
Michael Schine and Spencer Wulwich have agreed to host this year’s Christmas event and the Island Car Show as a celebration in honor of Alan.

"Johnny Guitar: The Musical"
Honored as off-Broadway's Best Musical in 2004 by the Outer Critics Circle, Johnny Guitar, is a laugh-filled musical comedy that sends up fifties-style movie acting, melodramatic romance and rough-and-tumble cowboy action. Featuring a sensational score with echoes of doo-wop songs and steamy Southwestern ballads, the musical Johnny Guitar is based on a l954 western that starred Joan Crawford. It's the tale of a feud between Vienna, a saloonkeeper, and her nemesis, Emma. When Johnny Guitar, a handsome stranger, rides into town and faces off with the Dancin' Kid, the stage is set for a hilarious showdown unlike anything the theatre has ever seen.
"It's the sensationally cartoonish performances of the Golden Apple's cast that turns the show into a true comedy...Anyone who grew up watching Westerns at the movie houses or on TV will find plenty to enjoy in Johnny Guitar, The Musical." - Susan Rife, Sarasota Herald Tribune

Crystal Methamphetamine "Is Killing Your Gay Friends !!"
 
Ice Methamphetamine Pipe Powder Methamphetamine in Foil
Also Known as Meth, Tina, Ice, Glass, Crank or Chalk
Crystal methamphetamine or "tina" is one of the fastest growing drugs in the gay community. To users it's short-term effects may seem mild and the initial high fantastic, but in the long run tina can be dangerous to their physical and emotional health not to mention social well-being.
The Friends I Knew That Were Addicted to Crystal
I've witnessed the slow destruction of people's lives due to a dangerous addiction to crystal. In the beginning it was extremely difficult for them to acknowledge their addiction. It was also a challenge for us around them to recognize their downward spiral.
At first, their use was sporadic, only while partying. The destruction then continued when they started using meth outside of the club. One friend wanted to lose weight and knew crystal would suppress his appetite.
Another didn't sleep much and was under a deadline at work so he used it throughout the day to be more productive. He was eventually reprimanded due to his constant mood swings and unreliability. Lastly, a friend's daily routine became unpredictable and gauging the truth in any of his statements was increasingly difficult. He eventually alienated his family and friends.
Why Do People Use Crystal Meth?
Crystal meth increases the levels of two neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine, resulting in a high that numbs your senses and causes hyperactivity. Meth also increases stamina allowing users to party for long periods of time.
What Are the Negative Side Effects of Tina?
Unfortunately, the drug causes decreased appetite and gives a false sense of prolonged energy. I've witnessed friends dancing for over 6 hours straight without eating or hydrating themselves. Their bodies gave no sign of fatigue or hunger even though they were obviously present. They were also very hyperactive and often made inappropriate comments and engaged in inappropriate behavior.
Crystal can be in the body anywhere from 2-20 hours. However, after users start to come off the drug or "crash" they become emotionally instable and highly irritable. This can be extremely dangerous for those that suffer from depression who naturally have a difficult time regulating their moods. The drug also causes heart palpitations, blurred vision, extended wakefulness, and damage to the brain, lungs and liver. The ultimate side effect is death from overdose.
