I am considering that alternative. Thank you for your suggestion.

Well, my apologies go also for them.

I am terrible sorry for my misunderstanding. I just want to clarify a few things. I did not know pictures were not allowed. However, I assumed forum members did not want to be in a picture and tried to avoid them in the frames. I failed on that with @Robster and for that I am terribly sorry, I cannot apologize enough. My intention was to take pictures only of the professionals. I approached them with my phone up and asked them for a picture for my blog. In two cases I was refused and didn't take those pictures. I am learning now that some professionals didn't understand my request. If that is your case, please send me a PM and I will delete your picture asap this evening when I am back home I am very sorry for causing this inconveniences I do want to make clear that I was not dishonest or sneaky. Perhaps I was stupid and clumsy, but my intentions were always transparent I hope this incident does not tarnish a wonderful week end

No one told me, it is my first PS week end. I did not sneak the pictures. I went openly to the providers, asked them for a picture for my blog, and took the pics only when they accepted it. I assumed everyone knew what I was doing, I was not hiding. I am very sorry for the inconveniences.

Yes I did. Nate did not understand me, contacted me afterwards, and I deleted his pic at his request.

I should have been more careful. I asked for permission to everyone closed up in the pictures. I was not careful enough with the background in one of the pics and offended @Robster . I am very sorry for not being more careful. I have no excuses, it is my fault. I fixed it as soon as I was asked to.

You are welcome. I am horribly sorry for violating your privacy. I must be more careful. Thank you for being understanding.

I think I fixed it. Was it the picture of Victor and Tristan? I do not even recognize the faces in the background and I thought no one would. I am very sorry Rob, it was not my intention to violate anyone's privacy. Now I feel like shit.

My apologies, Rob. I did not notice that. Let me check it.

I want to publicly thank @LoveNDino and @SuperJunior for sharing all that delicious weed.

I clearly did not realize it. You seemed to be joining the very much populated crowd of people who hate subtitles. They just do not watch the movie if they need them. Or they prefer the soundtrack doubled to their language. When I went to Paris I was surprised at how often people prefer the movie doubled to French instead of subtitled. If you want to go to the movies, you have to be very careful at choosing the right theatre, the one showing the movie with subtitles.

No, often I need subtitles. I hate doubled movies. I always want the original soundtrack and subtitles if necessary.

I want to thank publicly to @azdr0710 for being so helpful and generous with the car rides, for recommending an awesome drag queen show, and for being an overall good friend.

Privacy Violation.

I took the day off at work also today. I was very tired after a week end of abusing weed and alcohol, plus the jet lag. I wish I was tired of having sex, but hopefully I will have more the next time, when I feel more comfortable in Canyon Club. I have to write Day 3 now. The pool party!

Report of Day 2 is posted.

@jawjateck , I would ask you in PM but we know I cannot. I am still thinking of that Persian beauty. Did he make you happy?

Ditto. And the crowd. The fact that it is full and crowded generates a positive energy, and of course more opportunities for cruising. The other places may be fancier, but they are smaller.

I did not know you were one of the founders. Were you there? I did look for Lucky and introduced myself to present my respects to the founder of the tradition. I wish I knew the whole story, I would have looked for you. Perhaps we met, and I do not know who you are?

I did not see any forum members taking pictures. My first impression of the hotel was not so good, but I paid for the cheapest room. As I got acquainted to the place I liked it more and more. If I travel next year I will be getting a better room, with more light. I had planned doing some filming, but my room was not a good fit for that. Too dark.

I tried to open my account and never got approved. I think I told the story already somewhere else.

I arrived back to DC a couple of hours ago. Palm Springs was a great experience. It was an immense pleasure meeting @Guy Fawkes and so many virtual friends, and to be able to continue developing personal rapport with those I had already met in previous gatherings. I look forward to next Palm Springs, and encourage forum members from all over the country to volunteer and organize local meetings. It does not have to be spectacular like PS, just a excuse to get together and share in an atmosphere of camaraderie. Thank you so much to @Oliver and @Epigonos for hosting the pool party. The first empanadas Epi ever fried were delicious, and he will make them even better next time. Por Evita, Epi! For those who like gossiping, when I was leaving I heard a rumor. Two forum members were seen eating each other faces by the pool last night, and then moved the action to one of the rooms. I was told the moaning was pretty loud.

What about Rio? I still hear comments about the legendary roof party organized by Tomcal (from boytoy, I don't know if he participates here) with dozens of GPs and American visitors. Let's make an annual calendar of gatherings. Maybe after the number 100th I will be able to mingle easier.

About booking rooms, the organizers announced the dates of the gathering in PS many months ago. They insisted, and insisted, and insisted again, that we should book earlier if we wanted to attend. If anyone disregarded their advice and wait to the last minute, please do not blame Pam Springs, Coachella, the organizers, Donald Trump, or the liberal media. About flying to LAX, I made my research to go there from DC. The extra money I paid to fly to Palm Springs airport is compensated by the money I saved from renting a car. The airport in PS is small, beautiful, and very relaxed. The taxi to Canyon Club was only 15 bucks.
