I’m so excited for next weekend. I’ll be staying at the canyon club.

But it's gorgeous today!

I go this morning for my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine. With that said, I'll sadly miss the gathering, as I'm trying to stay safe until I've had both shots. Everyone have a great time in PS!

@David-SF is planning a pre-event at his home in Cathedral City (next door to Palm Springs). At the event, he is planning to plant a tree in Daddy’s honor. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/attention-18th-annual-palm-springs-weekend-2021.163323/

Hey all, just wanted to let everyone know that I won’t be meeting up with you in Palm Springs this year. Unfortunately, my father is short for this world so I must go to Oregon to be with he and my sister. I was so looking forward to seeing all of you in my city. This year will be all more important with the sad news of Daddy/Guy. Have fun and make a toast for Daddy.

Even though today sucks.
I want to come in here and let anyone that may be coming for the PS event that
I will be hosting my early bird pool gathering on Friday April 9th , 12 noon till - duskish.
Come any time stay as long as you like.
We will have plenty of food and drinks. If you have a request for alcohol please let me know in advance.
At some point in the afternoon I will be planting a citrus tree in my backyard for Daddy probably about 3pm.
I do hope you will come and help us celebrate our connection thanks in large part because of Daddy.
Sending big Love to one and all today.

I shall always be grateful to him - for maintaining and continuing to provide a site that quite literally changed my life.??
We shall raise our glasses high in tribute to him on April 10.?

Well, keroscendfire if you are a fan of teriyaki chicken you should love one of the items I'm serving at the Sunday Pool Event - Curry Chicken Skewers with Lime.
 
Here is the list of what’s on my menu besides the Chicken Skewers and the Deviled Eggs: 1.) Dates Stuffed with Pistachios and Dried Apricots, Wrapped with Bacon and Marinated in a special Teriyaki sauce, 2.) Buffalo Wings with Bleu Cheese Dressing, 3.) Marinated Chinese Style Spareribs, 4.) Grilled Steak Kebabs, 5.) Deep Fried Won Tons with Sweet and Sour Sauce, 6.) Sausage and Spinach-Stuffed Mushrooms, 7.) Shrimp Ceviche and 8.) Slider Sloppy Joes. Oliver will likely be providing several additional items.
 
Please, PLEASE arrive hungry.

I am very sorry to report that Guy Fawkes/daddy passed away this evening of heart failure. For over a month he remained in the hospital unconscious and on life support.
 
His passing touches us all. He was a man who dedicated his life to providing a Forum where men would feel free and comfortable talking about all sorts of topics that covered our life style.
 
Having worked with daddy since he started this site I got to see first hand how much he cared about people and viewed us as his family. He was a very bright man with a love for life. He will be missed.
 
RIP Daddy/Guy Fawkes
 
With sympathy,
Cooper

I had the J&J shot yesterday so I will be in prime hugging mode. I really miss that feeling of connection. Funny how you take some things for granted.

And PLEASE do not change a thing, they are perfect just the way they are!

Oh no! Please don't ruin them with anchovies. LOL

Have been since 2/2!

Gentlemen, Let’s keep politics out of this thread. If you want to discuss political issues please move it to the Politics Forum.

Not me. I love the first ten seasons or so, but haven't watched a new episode in years.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this year. Sorry to miss seeing everyone.

3. 26. 2021: Please read post # 272 for a current update on daddy’s/Guy Fawkes condition.
 
Last Friday, 2/19, Guy Fawkes/Daddy wrote on the escort reviews site:
 
“The Nurse says I have a cold, I say that I'm miserable. It was once again in the low 40s last night. I'm up for about 10 minutes at a time; I'd expect the new teasers and reviews to go up a little at a time.”
 
His last login for the message center was Saturday, 2/20.
 
I’ve sent him an email, no reply. I called & left a message, no reply, & I’ve contacted a few members but they’ve heard nothing.
 
Since it’s not like him to be away from the site for even a day, I’m obviously concerned.
 
Let’s hope & pray that wherever he is that he’s in good hands & making a good recovery. If I hear anything I’ll keep you posted.

I didn't know until I was in my forties, since I'm definitely a grower.
 
In fact, I avoided getting naked in locker rooms for years because of that.

I guess I was too subtle. It's possible there may be no gathering next year - I am old!

Had my second vaccine shot yesterday out here (PS - actually in Beaumont). First one was in Columbus. I was a bit concerned whether I would be able to get the second in CA, but was not a problem once I figured out where and when on line.
In any case I am now ready to set my sights on the weekend possibilities. Stay tuned!

Love that movie. I don't know why they didn't use the Stevie Nicks song "edge of seventeen" in it since it was from that era.
 
It is based partially on a true story and I saw it at a LGBT film festival in Detroit right after it was released and the writer did a Q&A
 
This movie is on Netflix and I really enjoyed it because I graduated high school in 1984 and have lived in the area all my life.

Yup, that's Canyon Club. I can't believe the forum weekend is only two months away!

To all:
 
I'm sorry for the bad news but I had to cancel my reservation at the INNDulge. I'm only 39 and I checked and it's highly unlikely that I'll get both vaccinations before the gathering in April (I thought I could try loitering around the clinics and wait for any non-used vaccines that would still be available after all the lines are gone but apparently, other people who aren't in the restricted-groups are already doing that). So to not risk myself or my mother (who's 73 and still needs me to come over to her house once a week to help her), I'll pass.
 
So I won't be able to make the Palm Springs event this year, but on the bright side, anyone who wants my reservation is free to do so. Just call INNDulge and ask for any openings after my cancelation.
 
It stinks but there's always next year. And if I recall correctly, there's also a forum gathering in Washington DC, correct? I never have been to the capital, so that would be a good vacation.

I booked my flights today. Yay!!! I'm PS bound. If things are still screwy, I'll pitch a tent in Oliver's back yard.
