Helping daddy with the dishes

we get our own separate accommodations and pay for those on our own......many stay at Inndulge, fewer stay at Canyon Club, and a few are scattered at other neighboring hotels in the Warm Springs "gayborhood" or at local private homes .......Canyon Club is not in the Warm Springs area, but also attracts a gay male clientele and is lower-priced.....all are "clothing optional", so be ready for that!
the un-hosted Saturday dinner and Monday breakfast are organized and details are included in emails sent to attending forum members closer to the weekend date (watch this space!)......while not utterly mandatory, these two events are very popular and pretty standard to attend....a Sunday afternoon pool party (hosted) is also very popular and attracts the biggest crowd of forum members.......a Friday pre-weekend hosted pool party has also been offered in previous years, but that isn't announced until much closer to the date
at other times, attendees sit around the pool, go on hikes, go to a bar in the one-block long downtown gay-business area (Arenas Street), hook up with others for lunch, go up the tram.......the entire weekend is very casual and very friendly.......

Reservations have been made. This will be number fifteen for me!

Not missing it again this year; I’m on top of it this time. Woohoo! See y’all there!
I’m booked 4/12-4/15 @ INNdulge, in a pool view superior room. If the Friday pool party materializes closer to the date, count me in. 
I’ll be poolside, applying gallons of sunscreen, ready to chat it up. Come to think of it, I could really use some help with that sunscreen…it must be reapplied every hour or so, or else I will drive home looking like Sebastian the crab. Just sayin’
If members want to hire me over any of those days or nights, contact me. First booked, first priority policy applies.
Bring $ for tips. A little fun and entertainment goes a long way in making your trip a memorable one. Your imagination is your only limitation regarding how you might spend your tips. I’m open to suggestions…

Looking forward to it, Oliver!  I booked a room at InnDulge, so I'll see y'all in April!
 

The Annual Palm Springs Weekend was organized by forum member Lucky in 2005 and later organized by forum member Oliver.  It’s a social event were members of the forum meet up for a weekend of camaraderie and fellowship with other forum members.
This is Oliver’s event and not an event sponsored by the Forum, although the moderators graciously have seen fit to pin this message at the top of The Lounge.  This is an event attended by both clients and providers.  
The event typically includes three primary scheduled events: a dinner on Saturday, a Sunday afternoon pool gathering, and a Monday morning breakfast.  Additionally, another forum member, DavidSF, in prior years has hosted a pre-pool party on Friday afternoon for those who arrive on Friday. DavidSF generally announces that event a month or so prior.
Another forum member, azdr0710 organizes morning hikes for those who are interested.
Below are some excerpts and links to prior events that you may find helpful. 
Posted April 16, 2018:
A bit of history is in order here. The annual event is held in Palm Springs mainly because Lucky and I live here, and in 2005 Lucky said to me, "Why don't we organize a weekend event and invite people on the Hooboy site to come? We can arrange a dinner at a restaurant on Saturday night, then all go to a show at the Palm Canyon Theater afterwards. Then on Sunday afternoon I will host a party at my house." He made the theater arrangement, and I made the dinner reservation. A handful of people showed up (one of whom, BTW, was TomCal), all of them from California except for Oliver, who was staying here to escape the Midwest winter. It was fun, so we did it again the next year, and more people came. Then Oliver said, "Why don't we have the Sunday party at my place, because I have a pool?" Even more important, Oliver offered to pay for the increasingly large Sunday party. Then in 2009, Daddy finally responded to the invitation, and suddenly escorts started showing up in bigger numbers. After Lucky left the website, Oliver graciously agreed to take over all responsibility for organizing the entire event, with the help of Epigonos, including hosting and paying for the party on Sunday. And like Topsy, the event "has just growed."
There is no paid entertainment, and no charge for admission. Attendees are required to RSVP to Oliver's invitation in order to take part, but they are responsible for making their own arrangements for transportation and lodging. If someone wants to go to the trouble of arranging a similar event in Orlando or anywhere else, more power to them--there is no exclusive copywright on the format. But it does require a host, who is willing to assume the duty of organizing the whole event, and paying for the costs associated with it.
Below are a few links from prior years events.

And, one of my favorite posts that sum’s it all up is by forum member purplekow, posted February 25, 2019 with a quote from Dolly Parton:
The weekend is about 4 days long. Members of the forum convene in Palm Springs. Initially it was a party thrown by Oliver to have forum members and escorts come together for a dinner and then a fun pool party. Since then, it has expanded to include those things but several other social events Last year there were about 40 forum members and friends there, of which about 15 were escorts. Men being men, what happens in Palm Springs stays in Palm Springs, although certain aspects of it are heavily commented on here in the forum. Generally it is an opportunity to meet fellow forum members whether that is for the first time or a yearly reunion. It is fun. And to quote the inimitable Miss Dolly Parton: 
 We get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin' old time country place
Ain't nothing too high toned
Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill
But there's nothing dirty going on.
 

Sexually, most men are visual.  While it would be nice if suddenly senior, fat, bald men with an off beat sense of humor and a quick mind were suddenly the new big cock, I am not waiting for my turn at the desirability brass ring.  If you want to see the male equivalent of the magazine covers above which promote body positivity, you can find that.  But don't expect them to be big sellers no matter how sexy the movie turns out to be. Sure they may be an initial breakthrough movie that catches the eye of everyone, which has reached the tipping point for some reason, but beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but like porno, I cannot define beauty (though it has a lot to do with symmetry of facial features) but I know it when I see it.

People mention "The Gayety". My first escort experience was with VITO, a young beautifully sculpted Italian guy, who danced there some time in the late 1990's.
I was there during a birthday celebration for a gay friend. I was quite young and inexperienced with men. I had never seen someone so beautiful and was totally smitten. I wanted to get another peek at him after his performance ( the boys would hang out in the lounge after they leave the stage ). He caught my glances and wandered over asking if i wanted a "private show". I barely had $40 cash in my pocket and apologized to him that I was unprepared to hire him. He asked how much I had with me and claimed that was enough for "a sample". I said good night to my friends and with them giggling, depated to the fleabag Hotel next door. Vito was absolutely incredible. We fucked and sucked for over two hours ( hardly a mere "sample"). Afterwards he told me I didn't owe him anything ...i was actually "his type" and he really just wanted to meet me and he had a great time. However, to my mind this was his business and therfore I did offer the contents of my pocket. (We met up a few times after that...off the clock). That was my first and most memorable hire...and I believe my only hire for over two decades ..as I was very young at the time with no other driving reasons to hire escorts at that time. I wonder if anyone else had the pleasure of Vito's company. I don't think I've ever been with someone who was so totally "my perfect guy". 💗
