Happy Birthday Eric! (From a not so secret admirer)!

Me 2 !!!!?????

Well, he cancelled and then the world was cancelled, otherwise we all might have been able to see him in Palm Springs in 10 days, but sadly that was not to be.
 
It's Eric's birthday on 5 April (which is today here). So happy birthday @Eric Hassan, in your lock down in New York, and happy international poppers day too.

this brought tears to my eyes. thank you for your humanity - for being that person for that woman, and for being that person for us. this is a painful time, and in telling us what your day was like, you allow us to be part of your support system and you lend a face to this crisis which (fortunately) remains out of sight for most of us right now.

i respectfully diagree that escorting long term doesn't benefit someone's mental health. mine is way better now then when i was in my last career. i acknowledge that some folks might have trouble after doing sex work for a while, but i dont' think that's a causation thing. i think some accountants have mental health issues after doing it for a while. some doctors, too. and i'm sure some lawyers definitely waitresses and probably teachers, too. what i mean to point out is that sex work is work and just like any job, you might or might not expereince a change in your mental health after doing the work for a while.
 
i do think that it takes a fair amount of vigilance and work to maintain one's mental health doing sex work. it has most certaibly changed my views on sex, my body, other bodies, relationships, etc - but i don't make that wrong and i do the work i need to do to maintain my mental health in the same way that someone else doing something else might. without intention, it probably won't happen!

i haven't done long distance in a long time, but hey - why not?! ok, i'll date you, beautiful man!

I’m thinking that PS 2021 will be a particularly enjoyable and perhaps poignant event. I value our little online community and the solace that it affords in these challenging times. My family and friends I increasingly cherish. Love to you all!

I know some people don't like Canyon Club, but their cancellation policy is even better. We only had to pay for the first night as a deposit, and it will be refunded to us (less a $15.00 cancellation fee) if we cancel no later than 72 hours before check-in.
 
Looking forward to seeing you all next year!

Understood. I was already trying to figure out how we'd pull off the weekend with social distancing!
 
For future reference, Santiago has a more forgiving cancellation policy than Inndulge. 14-day cancellation on holidays (including Coachella) and 7 days otherwise. Something to think about for next year.

Thank you for doing this Oliver. I know some people don't agree, but this is the right call in my opinion based on all the data I am aware of and what we know about this virus and how it is transmitted. Realistically the USA will need to seriously self isolate and maintain social distancing until early May at the earliest to get things under control and we will likely have to maintain some of these protocols for the next few years until an effective vaccine is publicly available and we achieve herd immunity.

Dear All -
I am sorry to announce that I must cancel the 2020 Palm Springs Weekend. In addition to the health concerns, the two restaurant venues are and will be closed until May 1. Also some of the possible attendees have already let me know that they will not be coming. Therefore, with all things considered, it is best to forego the festivities this year.

If you are cancelling a reservation at INNdulge the front desk does not have authority to offer any credit for future booking. You need to talk to the manager or email him at INNdulgeManager@gmail.com. Apparently credits are being handled on a case by case basis.

hey fellas - i hope everyone is staying safe! i know there's a lot of uncertainty right now in general, and regarding the PS trip specifically. reading all of your responses reminded me of something: you can purchase an annual trip insurance policy.
 
you might have seen when you book train tickets or plane tickets that you get offered an insurance plan, usually underwritten by allianz. the rates are not so bad, but if travel a lot, you might want to consider an annual plan from allianz. they have a few plans, but i know insuring one person (me, at 41 and living in NY) is about 125/yr. they do have plans to cover your household if you're partnered/married/have kids, and they do offer rental car plans as well (though you can't use them if you're a resident of NY - i'm not sure about other states).
 
if you don't travel so much or an annual plan is not for you, they also offer per-trip plans and per-rental plans for cars. i would recommend NOT accepting the insurance offer that you get when you buy tickets, and instead go directly to allanz and purchase an insurance plan for your trip. it's the same plan you would have gotten, typically at a more reasonable rate.

Just heard back from Inndulge. I paid 2 nights deposit for a 4 night stay. They are issuing me a credit for 2 nights during off season, or 1 night during peak season. Good enough.
