Robster

I want to add my voice to the chorus celebrating the weekend in Palm Springs.  This was only my 3rd time.   But getting to know more of my fellow hobbyists each time makes each time even better.   Oliver, thank you for all that you do to make the weekend a success.  It can't be done without you.  David, thanks for the pool party on Friday -- more food and fun.  Also, thanks to all the elves that help Oliver.  I'm looking forward to 2024.

The weekend gatherings were so fun, and hanging around INNdulge was so relaxing.  Just what I needed.  Similar to what nate_sf said.... I think it is about my favorite event of the year.  Thanks to everyone for making it great!

Dear all who attended this year - you make it what it is!  And each year is different.
Thank you to Ace, Dane Scott, David-sf, Jawjateck, jthoutex, Mike Cruise, Nate Newman, sam.fitzpatrick, sfwestcoaster, and anyone whom I've forgotten.  I could not have done it (especially this year) without all of you.  I am eternally grateful for knowing you all.
And I have a written promissory note as follows:  "I, 'Vin Marco' hereby commit to attending (the) pool party 2024 without excuse and agree to this without cercion and without reservation.  Attested to this 15 day of April, 2023 (signed) 'Vin Marco'.
I guess that means I have to come back to PS next year so that he can honor is promise!😝

Wayne and I had a blast, as always.  It's been 10 years (!!) since we first attended this event, and we haven't missed one since.  Thanks to everyone involved for making this event one that we look forward to every year!

I remember showing up to my first PS weekend, and as others have mentioned, I too was pretty terrified. First stop was to meet a bunch of forum members at a leather store. I walked in and @David-SF came right up and welcomed me into the fold. @Ace was also there, and they helped me pick out a pair of leather pants. I was surprised and so happy with how welcoming everyone was.
I've lost count of how many years ago that was, but the weekend has become one of the highlights of my year, if not THE highlight. Even better than Christmas as far as I'm concerned!
@Oliver does a fantastic job of making it all happen and making everyone welcome. So thank you! As well as thanks to those who help out with the logistics, to @David-SF and his hunky man and adorable pups for the early-bird pool party, and @azdr0710 for organizing the morning hikes. All so much fun, and appreciated!

I had a great time as usual.  Oliver and David and the other people who worked on this did a great job.  Inndulge was a fun place although next year guys lets get just a bit crazier.  I have to say Tristan Baldwin's aqua speedo was the fashion highlight for me.  The food at Trio was especially good.  My favorite was the bacon wrapped dates and the pork chop in blueberries.  Free lowing wine was a pleasant surprise too.   Dane Scott must have a portrait in the attic as he seems younger each year.  It seems AzDr's hikes had a great turn out though It was hard to say from where I was lounging by the pool.  
For those who missed it this year, plan to keep your April schedule light and "had to work a lot " should never replace "had to live a little"

Thanks everyone for a great weekend! It was wonderful to finally put some faces to the monikers. Anyone out there who is on the fence about going next year….just do it! Everyone is super friendly, and the people from the board that you are hesitant about meeting don’t attend anyways. The only hard part was walking in the door at @David-SF’s pool party for the first time on Friday afternoon. Ten seconds later you’re among friends and then it’s a walk in the park. 

It was an amazing weekend as always! This was the tenth one for Robster and I but as Oliver pointed out during breakfast, every year seems to be a little bit different. This year was no exception. Even though we now live in town, we are considering renting a room at InnDulge next year so we can extend our enjoyment throughout the evenings. 

I plan to be there next year!

Many thanks to everyone for making this event so enjoyable and memorable from the early-bird pool party to the dinners and breakfasts. I'm glad the majority of us stayed in the InnDulge this year for it was pleasant to talk and hang around the pool and relax outside the scheduled meals.
Here's hoping I can remember everyone's names again next year, although some definitely stayed in my mind thanks to all the great people and company during this past weekend.
*hugs everyone*

Sad I had to skip today’s pool event was dealing with some health issues 🙃

Let the gathering begin!!!😄

Hey guys! Finally reactivated my account on here- as we know, I don't logon this as much, as I transition to the half escorting / half real world job situation. Dad's in a full nursing home now...so my travel might be picking up slightly. In addition, Jetblue's partnership with American has been a godsend...have nothing but great things to say about that airline...
With that being said, I'll be out on the West Coast 4/16-4/20, with the intention of stopping by the pool party in PS 1PM-?PM on the 16th; but the rest of the schedule is contingent on a few variables. Will keep you all posted but I intend to at least show face out there, let Ace TAKE my ASS(😝) and catch up!
Regards,
Jordan

This is a reminder to please get all your snacks food booze requests/suggestions to me in the next couple days.  We just did a food run today it's best if I know what people like. We are definitely having food so come hungry.
