In Michigan, a Queer Retreat With Dancing in the Woods
Entertaining With shows how a party came together, with expert advice on everything from menus to music. The independent gay magazine Hello Mr.
released just ten issues, between 2013 and 2018. But neat stacks of the publication still feature prominently on plenty of queer people’s coffee tables.
Founded by the artist and editor Ryan Fitzgibbon and intended, according to its slogan, “for men who date men,” Hello Mr. highlighted the work of both established creatives and relative unknowns, many of whom have since gone on to wider fame.
There were interviews with the musicians Perfume Genius and Olly Alexander; poems and essays by the writers Ocean Vuong, Ryan O’Connell and Bryan Washington; and conversations withthe comedian John Early and the curator Antwaun Sargent.
