It’s a surreal night for me at The 2015 Grabbys Award Show. This is my first time at Grabbys. The event was packed with gay porn stars and fans. And to my surprise, Queer Me Now won the BEST PORN BLOG award again this year. I was shocked and speechless. Thank you everyone for your supports. Check pictures of the gay porn stars I took from the event below.

The Grabbys 2015 had just finished. I will post more pictures and my experience from my first Grabbys later. But for now, I have to show you guys this funniest moment of The Grabby Award Show 2015. Here’s what happened: Levi Karter went up on stage to introduced one of this year Best Movie award nominees, CockyBoys‘ ANSWERED PRAYERS (which won the award later that night). They played the preview video of the movie. But due to some technical difficulties, there was no sound. Look what Levi did to save the presentation in the video below.
I posted many pictures from the second night of Grabby Weekend in this blog post: CockyBoys Underwear Auction, Christian Owen’s Porn Star Party & Falcon’s A-Team Grabby Party. And here’s pictures taken by @PhilliyT (NIGHTSINWEHO.COM) from Christian Owen’s Fetisch Party at Touche where porn couple Billy Santoro and Seth Santoro had a live sex show.
In case you haven’t already seen it, I updated the SKIN TRADE: Grabby Weekend Official Kickoff Party 2015 with 3 video clips. Tonight, there are SO many parties going on during this second night of the Grabby Weekend. First I went to CockyBoys Auction Party at Sidetrack, then I walked to Christian Owen’s PORN STAR Party at Progress Bar and then I went to Lucky Horseshoe Lounge for the Falcon‘s A-Team Grabby Party.
And my night ended at Fetisch Party, also hosted by Christian Owen where hot porn couple Billy Santoro and Seth Santoro had a live sex show in front of audience. Thanks to pictures from a friend of mine and long-time Queer Me Now’s collaborator @PhilliyT from NIGHTSINWEHO.COM.
I survived my first Grabby Party, it’s SKIN TRADE: Grabby Weekend Official Kickoff Party at Hydrate. I’ve never seen so many gay porn stars, industry people, and fans packed together in one place like this. As a blogger from Asia who cover this event from afar for so many years, it’s awesome that I can finally be here, at the Grabby Party and meeting these people in person. And to my surprise, I’ve already met many of them throughout the year and they also know me. But it’s always nice to meet new porn models like Hugh Hunter, Kyle Kash, Bray Love, Logan Blake, and more. I try my best to take pictures of them. Oh and don’t worry, @philliyT was there at the event as well. I will post all his awesome pictures soon. For now, check out pictures from my iPhone below. It’s 2:30 am now. I’m so sleepy. I will post video clips from the party tomorrow. Good night.
If you are in Chicago, tonight at 9am, Chi Chi LaRue is having an Official Grabby Weekend Kickoff Party at Hydrate.
Today I had lunch with Johnny V and Joey D after they shot a scene with Andrea Suarez for American Muscle Hunks and a drink with David Benjamin. The lobby of Hard Rock Hotel has turned into a mini porn reunion as gay porn stars are arriving in Chicago. Check out pictures of Billy Santoro, Seth Santoro, Diesel Washington, Mr. Pam, Spike, and Jimmy Fanz below.
Hey guys. After 24 hours, 3 flights, I just landed in Chicago last night. So tired but very excited. This is my first time in Chicago and it’s going to be my first time at the GRABBYS! For so many years, I covered this Grabby Weekend from afar. Re-posting pictures porn stars and fans shared on their Twitters. This year I decided it’s time for me to experience it myself after all these years.
Queer Me Now Blog won Grabbys “Best Porn Blog” Award last year. To tell you the truth, I’m still not sure what to do but I will try my best to cover as many events as I can during this Grabbys Weekend.
For those of you who are at this year Grabbys as well, here is my complete list of all the Gay Porn Parties and Live Shows starting tonight with Chi Chi LaRue’s Official Grabbys Kick Off Party at Hydrate. Well, I still have no idea where is Hydrate. LOL Need to Google it now.
Please follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus, and Vine. Wish me luck!
The 2015 Grabbys will be held this Saturday, May 23th at Metro in Chicago. It will be a weekend full of gay porn stars, parties and live shows. There are so many events going on that even the official website doesn’t list everything.

Check out my coverage of previous Grabbys here.
David Benjamin is one of the newcomers to keep an eye on this year for me. I had a pleasure meeting him in Washington DC last April and did an interview video with him before he shot his first porn scene. After that, David has worked with Hot House, Chi Chi LaRue and Falcon.
David attended The 2014 Grabbys in Chicago. (Check out my coverage of Grabbys 2014 here and here.) It was his first porn award show ever and I’m so excited that he shares his experience with Queer Me Now readers. The coolest thing about David, he is one of us! He is a porn fan like you and me.
Don’t forget to follow David Benjamin on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Hottie Dmitry Dickov attended the Grabby Awards this year for the first time to represent his porn studios GAYHOOPLA.COM. They were nominated for “Best Web Original Content.” Although GayHoopla didn’t win the award. It looks like Dmitry just got something out of his trip. Obviously he had a great night.
@ErikTLA just shared a series of adorable pictures of Dmitry Dickov making out with CockyBoys porn star Levi Karter (who won “Best Newcomer” at Grabbys) at one of the post-Grabbys parties. Are we getting a new Porn Power Couple? Or are they just a “cuddle buddies”?
Director Jake Jaxson just tweeted this sweet picture of Levi and Dmitry in bed together the morning after 🙂 They will make a cute couple, I would say. Is this mean we are going to see a collaboration between COCKYBOYS.COM and GAYHOOPLA.COM in the near future?
I hope you guys like my coverage of the 2014 Grabbys Weekend in Grabbys Weekend Roundup Part 1. Today, in Part 2, these are photos porn stars and fans shared on their Twitter from The 2014 Grabbys Award Show itself. Too bad I still didn’t go to the Grabbys again this year. The place was jam-packed with hot gay porn stars.
Congratulation to all the winners! (Queer Me Now won Best Porn Blog this year!)
