Show us!

I'm a faithful reader of The Guide and find it to be one of the best gay magazines I have ever read.

I'm fascinated by Simon, the guy on the cover of your February 2001 issue. I too am a very well known dancer in St. Louis at Magnolia's. I'm very interested in posing for one of The Guide's monthly covers. I'm very photogenic and not ashamed of who I am as well as what I am.

Why don't you guys ever consider traveling here to St. Louis and do articles on some of our best features as well? You'll find that a lot of us here also support The Guide.

Thanks for the kind words. February's cover boy Simon (of Montreal's Taboo) has elicited much admiration (and drool). Between our road trips and help from porn studios, we have lots of guys eager to be on our cover. But if you'd like to be considered, send photos to Mike Thompson, our photography, editor; be sure to sticker your name and address on the back and to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if your want them returned. Hope you enjoyed our August 2001 feature on St. Louis!

Still PO'ed, but renews sub

I used to subscribe to The Guide but I was upset because you endorsed Ralph Nader for President when you should in my opinion have endorsed Al Gore. As a result we are stuck with George Bush. We are now stuck with that outrageous tax cut, which means our government doesn't have enough money to take care of our country's obligations.

Despite the fact that I am still upset with you because of your endorsement of Nader, I have reluctantly decided to renew my subscription. I decided to reinstate my subscription after I picked up a complimentary copy of your current issue at West 9th Street News and Video in Cleveland.

Glad to have you back. Indeed, Mr. Bush will have trouble paying for his "war," bailing out corporate failures, and slashing taxes for millionaires.

Betrayed by prison pal who promised to be on the bus

I have had problems with inmates and feel you should do more to caution your readers about the pitfalls of dealing with inmates. [A certain prisoner] advertises in your mag on a regular basis and has ripped me off for hundreds of dollars saying he would come here but needed money for a bus ticket and clothes-- and it turns out he will not be released any time soon.

I love your magazine and don't want you to take it the wrong way but I just feel The Guide could do more to warn its readers about inmates who prey on our good nature.

Okay, readers, consider this a warning: prisons do not allow prisoners bus trips on weekends to visit friends; you can check with prisons to verify release dates (and some have web sites wherein such info is available). Sending money to anyone you don't know, prisoner or not, involves risk. Duh.

Greetings from Oz

Greetings from Sydney! I'm very happy always having your magazine. I want to say thanks, guys, for this edition. Wish you the best in the future and a lot of good experiences working for The Guide. All the best for you!

'Big fat long black cock' rehabilitates ex-con

Please. Stop mailing me this stuff at this address and please mail the magazine to [my new address]. I am no longer in prison. I will parole in the morning. I no longer need your services.

I found me a big fat long black cock to fulfill my white ass. Yummy and thank you!
