BOSTON
First Aired: December 2005
It’s all aboard BUMP! for a queer tour of Boston: both on foot and afloat. Join Shannon as she not only rides, but pilots the amphibious Duck Tour boat for a unique perspective on Boston from land and sea. Further testing Shannon’s sea-legs, it’s off on a private charter of Boston Harbor with members of the Yankee Cruising Club, one of several exclusively gay sailing clubs in the area. Back on land, Shannon visits two local lesbian publications Bay Window and South End News to get caught-up on all the news in queer Boston. From there it’s a walking tour of the predominantly gay south-end’s Tremont Street with WFNX-FM radio host Keith Orr. Finally it’s back to the B & B to rest our feet before chowing-down on some local fare and catching a drag show at Jacque’s where we meet Chris Knevel, a long-standing ‘DQ’ in residence.
