Product Description
Bump!, the world's first and most watched gay and lesbian travel television series, is now on DVD. Join sexy gay soap star Charlie David as he shows you some of the best Europe has to offer gays and lesbians. This resourceful and entertaining DVD is perfect for the seasoned and armchair traveler alike! San Francisco:
Bump! starts with a tour of the Castro, the gay epicenter of the city. Take a seat at the oldest gay and lesbian theater company in North America and make an emotional visit to the poignant AIDS monument. Then, drop by several local hangouts and toss back a couple of cool ones with our host, J.R. New York:
In our trip to The Big Apple, Shannon goes to the theater district in search of cheap tickets for the hottest shows on and off Broadway. Next, we trek around the popular "guppie" neighborhood, learn about the major gay district Chelsea, traipse through fabled Greenwich Village and visit watering holes along the way. Chicago:
Host Charlie David visits Chicago, "the San Francisco of the Midwest", finding out that Chicago's gay scene isn't limited to one neighborhood. Charlie indulges in cupcakes, wine and manicure, and visits a store for a different type of Chicago Bear.

"Bump!: American Highlights"
Chicago, New York City, San Francisco
Amos Lassen
The "Bump!" DVD video series is definitely comprehensive. This new one takes us to three major American cities with large GLBT populations and we start off in San Francisco, one of the world's most beautiful cities and has a long history with our community. The Castro which was once the center of gay San Francisco is our starting point and it is in the process of undergoing change. We begin at the oldest gay and lesbian theater in America, the Rhinoceros and then we stop by the offices of "Curve", a monthly national Lesbian publication. Of course we want to as well as need to see the national AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park and our bud Charlie David takes to a few of the local bars where we enjoy a drink and meet the locals.
New York, New York is the place for theater on the U.S. and it has much more too. We head for the theater district looking for cheap tickets just like the local New Yorkers and then lesbian comic Kate Clinton shows us around the Upper West Side which has recently become a "guppie" neighborhood, Chelsea has become the major gay area and a meet Richard Winger, a resident and he tells us all about it. The nearby Chelsea Piers are the homes of the gay athletic groups. "Next Stop Greenwich Village' where we tour with Arthur Strickler and visit the Stonewall Inn, where our true liberation began and go to the other bars in the area. Lastly we meet Clare Cavanah who tells us about the lesbian playground in the Big Apple.
"Let me cool my heels right down at Marshall Fields" is the line from the song that epitomizes Chicago, the "San Francisco of the Midwest".. We go to Boystown, Hollywood Beach and Andersonville and discover that gay Chicago is in more than one neighborhood. Of course it is not New York or San Francisco but has a flavor all its own/
