Since I started this blog years ago, I always hid my identity. Now I think it is time to come out? Well anyway, my name is Chris H. Here are some photos of me. Do you remember me from back in the day? Say hi. Thanks!

Thank you for this blog
ReplyDeleteChris, I'm so glad that you told us who we are. You've done a fantastic service in creating this blog. I have referenced it numerously over the years and I know many others who have done the same. During this time when we are learning the importance of gay spaces, your work is especially profound. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, first, thank you for his blog. I recently copied the link to post on a FB page called Detroit The Way We Remember It. It was a post about the after hours, Heaven. I certainly do remember you. You’re super tall! Very memorable.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to contact you a celebrate this work. Thanks so much!
We used to go to Todd's on Mondays for her alternative Mondays we all worked at traxx at Gratiot and 7 Mile all the hottest bands went there on Mondays to hang out Bootsy and the Banshees Natasha Rhythm core and a bunch of the other'80s bands that were popular that used to play at St Andrews
ReplyDeleteI've seen you for years at backstreet 1994-1998 before I worked there 1998-2000 we made eye contact a couple times, but we never said hello. I think we were both nervous in the sea of gay. Thanks for this blog and for coming out. You deserve to.
ReplyDeleteI do recall you from 1996-2000, when I was a frequent at Backstreet, Gigi's, Menjos, Nectarine, Numbers, and Pronto. Amazing times. We flirted a bit, but nothing ever happened. It's good to see a friendly face from that era. πππππ
ReplyDeleteChris, I really hope you happen to see this. My name is Angie, and I came across your post about Bretz where you mentioned your ex, Tenya (Bill) Sasse. I can’t begin to tell you what it felt like to unexpectedly see his name there.
ReplyDeleteTenya and I were very close friends beginning when we were kids in elementary school in Ohio. We lost touch and found each other again several times over the years. Our lives crossed again as teenagers and young adults, and for a period of time Tenya, his brother Ernest, and I even lived together. I always knew him as Tenya, so seeing you refer to him as Bill made me smile.
I learned years ago that Tenya had passed away, but he has never completely left my thoughts. I’ve searched the internet many times hoping to find a photograph of him or even just a little piece of the life he had during the years when we weren’t in contact.
If you’re comfortable with it, I would absolutely love to talk with you about him. I would love to hear your memories of Tenya, and if by some chance you still have any photographs of him, seeing his face again after all these years would mean more to me than I can put into words.
I hope this message somehow finds its way to you. ❤️
