Rival Envy?

I was interested in doing an article for the Gay City News regarding the HX Gay Erotic Expo that took place this past November here in New York. E.J. Parker of the temporarily discontinued sex party called Harlem World/Comfort Zone (about which I wrote an article for GCN) wanted me to attend it with him. So I contacted Trenton Straube, the editor at HX/New York Blade. He in turn referred me to Gary Glacinski because, I guess, he was the one who handled press relations. After e-mailing him twice, I never heard a word. Maybe they didn't want to have an article about them appear in a rival paper. Who knows? Anyway they lost out on an opportunity to further publicize their event.
