July 2, 2001

Look at me! I'm blushing! The Advocate, "the national gay and lesbian newsmagazine" listed this website right here as a favorite in its July 17, 2001 issue (which, through some odd vagary of time travel, is beginning now to appear on newsstands and in subscribers' mailboxes). Quoth this esteemed publication, in its nod to personal publishing on the web:

Taking a different approach is Brad Graham, whose "Bradlands" site is a labor of love from one of the funniest gay men in St. Louis. The Daily Brad section features slices of Graham's life packed into one easy-to-read loaf; his wry (rye?) observations make http://www.bradlands.com a daily must-visit.

Now, then. Being named "one of the funniest gay men in St. Louis" strikes us as a superlative compliment on a par with "one of the finest countertenors in Enid, Oklahoma" or "one of the most tweaked-out circuit clones at The Complex," but here in The BradLands, we maintain a strict policy of never looking gift praise in the mouth.

We happily note that Blogger got a little plug there, too, as a fine tool with which to begin stretching your own self-expression muscles.

In other news, I'm back from Our Nation's Capital, having escaped just as the weather turned lovely and before the July 4 mayhem began in earnest. It was a lovely jaunt, about which you'll be hearing more in the coming days, likely over at The Daily Brad.
