Ten years have passed since the bar encounter of Mike the barber and Pierce the tattoo artist. The crazy scheme of a gay service mall they had dreamed up over too many beers eventually took life and became HQ, short for Headquarters. It took no time for the small interior mall, carved out of an old theatre, to become the meeting place for the Village’s gay community. The art gallery, the spa, the gym, the leather shop and the barbershop, among other facilities, are attracting the gay boys who often go to HQ just to people watch.
Meanwhile, the University’s school of music has recovered from the doldrums and an unenviable reputation of being outdated. After a difficult period of reorganisation under the new dean, it is now thriving and has regained the respect it once had among music learning institutions. However, as in most academic environments, there are factions and internal strife. The supporters of the traditional approach who used to be running the place prior to the arrival of the latest dean are now finding that they have lost their clout to the proponents of modern music. GAyMES is a chronicle of the adventures and misadventures of the characters gravitating around these two different and occasionally overlapping environments. Not all are nice but all are human.
