OBAMA CONGRATULATES MCCAIN ON CHENEY ENDORSEMENT

“So I would like to congratulate Sen. McCain on this endorsement,” Obama continued. “Because he really earned it. That endorsement didn’t come easy – Sen. McCain had to vote with George bush 90 percent of the time and agree with Dick Cheney to get it. McCain had to serve as Washington’s biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq. And supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Sen. McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney’s support.”

08 10 29 (Updated) Two Friends, Jindrich Stopa + Dominik Danda

By William Higgins 3 Comments

Categories: Daily Roundup Tags: Dominik Danda, Jindrich Stopa.

These two friends came to the CC together. We decided to do an ‘ambush solo’ with them. I.e.: Tell them to save time we’d shoot their solo shoots at the same time and then somehow get them to do ‘awful’ things with each other. This one worked out very well. I’d say with this shoot we had the least resistance we’d experienced when ‘ambushing’ friends. Getting friends to kiss is always the most difficult obstacle to overcome, even more difficult than finagling a sucking session. After only a few seconds of persuading, they kissed, very shot kiss. I said, “This stills camera didn’t get that. Do it again and hold so he can focus.” Before long, we had long deep kissing. I always enjoy seeing completely amateur guys doing something which they’d really rather not be doing…. or think they’d rather not be doing. For those who care about such things, getting friends to suck each other is MUCH more difficult than getting them to penetrate the other guy with vibrators. That’s kind of like sexual hazing, and they seem to enjoy that …. until it’s their turn.

I temporarily lost the video of this shoot. After racking what’s left of my brain, I discovered how to find it, I’d save a video with the same program, and sure enough, it defaulted to the last location where I’d saved something. I found the missing video, miracle. I may have to wait until tomorrow to edit it because a shoot is coming up right away.

08 10 28 Training, Matthus Reinhardt Tutors Roland Kraus (Update)

By William Higgins 1 Comment

Categories: Daily Roundup Tags: Matthus Reinhardt, Roland Kraus.

Today is a holiday in the Czech Republic. We hae a shoot in less than an hour, and other than the photographic crew, no one is around. I asked, “What is this holiday for?” I was told it is the anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia in 1918. Well, Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed since 1992 or thereabouts. But it’s still a day off from work. Not that I’m bitter, mind you. But I’ll bet not one in 15 people on the streets of Prague could tell you what the holiday is about, but they all take it off anyway. And who wouldn’t?

This is an updated report on a wonderful Training with Matthus Reinhardt and Roland Kraus. I’m a great fan of both of these guys. I really never thought we’d get this far with Roland as he is a professional member of a league athletic team (I dare not say more). This was his first ‘full sex’ scene with another guy. I have to say he took to it like a duck to water. The Sukat was quite painful for him, but he never whimpered. As I’ve said before, I like his backwoodsman way, dare I say “Joe Sixpack, Joe the Plumber” way about him. Please listen to my Podcast below for the blow by blow on this shoot.

08 10 27 (2nd Update) Weekly Shoot Schedule

By William Higgins 1 Comment

Categories: Shoots Updates Tags: .

We have added a solo shoot for 1100 on Thursday. Please check below:

Below is our shoot schedule for the week of 08 10 27.

The schedule for this week has quite a few vacancies. Boris will probably be adding shoots as the week progresses, so check back frequently.

All times are CET, Prague Time. We also use ‘army time’ for convenience. The schedule is ‘advisory,’ subject to change with little or no notice. Shoots might be canceled or new shoots added. Members can watch the shoots live on PragueBuddies.com.

I should add the comment that TC posted earlier:

“Remember that Daylight Savings or Summer Time in Europe ends on Sunday today (Yesterday).
“All countries in Europe except Iceland observe DST and most change on the same date and time, starting on the last Sunday in March and ending on the last Sunday in October.”

In the USofA: “In 2008 daylight saving time ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2″ … so there will be a week of confusion.”

So, for those of you in the USA, we have already ‘fallen back’ in Europe. So, this week, New York will be – 7 hours instead of – 6 hours.

Monday

1100 Ambush Duo (These two guys are buddies who came to casting together, so we’ve schedule a ‘joint solo shoot’ with them. We see how we can develop this situation)

McCain has Bush’s bad attitude

McCain’s Senior Moment?

From Truthdig: In response to former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama last week, John McCain boasted on “Meet the Press” of the five former secretaries of state who have thrown their support behind his own candidacy. Yet braggadocio ran into bungle when McCain tried to name all five, twice getting only to four, and looking a bit shaky in the process.
