Wet Palms Drops The (Gay Porn) Soap … Again
About a thousand years ago, Jack and I wrote a porny gay soap opera called Wet Palms. Six years later, I still can’t quite believe they let us go through with it — giving us three mini seasons, endless hours of howling laughter, and at least one memory that I wish I could have kept blacked out. Evidently we’ll be getting residual checks in the mail, because like bedbugs and red states, Wet Palms is suddenly back in fashion. At the time, it was billed as the world’s first gay porn soap opera, but that’s only if you don’t count Dynastud.
Rob Romoni, who starred in the second season as a underwear exec (I think) sent us an email announcing that Jet Set, which originally produced the series with NakedSword, is re-releasing the whole series on a download to own basis. Maybe Jack and I will download it and record our own Wet Palms commentary track telling everyone who couldn’t bottom, who was having sex with a writer off-set, who was a hot psychopath, who was not really straight, who was stealing, and who was so much of a waster that it took him 23 takes for on line reading. I guess that’s what you get for filming the whole thing at a bathhouse, and make the entire crew live there during filming. Fun times, 2004. I have a production diary around here somewhere …

LOL! OMG!
hey Mike – what was the memory you wish you could black out? did it involve a dim room, something big & black and white couch? lol!
omg, Wet Palms…. Wet Palms… what can I say. It was quite an adventure! And yes, staying in a gay men’s bathouse for 2 weeks in Weho was just the tip of the cock on crazy stories….
(thank gawd I didn’t go in the hot tub – I’d have some mutant mixed baby of Rob Romoni, Lucky Something, Nick Capra, Michael Soldier and 14 wide-eyed gawkers running the ‘habitrail’!
My favorite memory was the climax of episode __(9?)__ where I climbed a 20 ft ladder to lay in the rafters of the Abbey to film Lucky Hanson’s mystery assassination & a hundred extras huddled below me. Die for the shot!!
Thanks again Mike & Jack & Jet Set for the most wonderful pornographic adventure ever!
Wet Palms… where are they now? episode 10! Can I play a cameo – Simon & Brady’s baby, all grown up as a tranny!
big wet hugs…
mr. Pam
director of photography,
wet palms, episodes 1 – 9 which I will cherish forever!

Yes, Pam. That is EXACTLY the memory I was trying to block out.
As for Lucky Something, just be glad that you can’t get pregnant from fluffing.
