Heading down to New Orleans for Presidents Day weekend. Figured it would be nice to catch a few Mardi Gras parades without the craziness of actual Mardi Gras. Figure I will hit up the usual suspects, Lafittes, Pub, Oz, CornerPocket. Probably see what's new at the WWII museum. Any recommendations?

Yeah, that's the depressing point. Folks going morbid and forgetting somethings are better left unsaid. Same for folks that want to gawk at car accidents.

You only live twice from the Bond series... Came from the saying... You only die twice, once in real life, and once when your name/memory leaves the earth. It can be sad if you focus on the negative aspects. Nonetheless, escorts/body workers/strippers still are people, and equally deserving of rememberance.

While this topic can trend depressing, I do think it's a nice idea to have an in- memoriam thread. Some folks do leave an positive impact on others, and sharing the good memories can't hurt.

Meanwhile there's a bunch of recreational boaters are like... wait what? I can just say put it on my tab to the fuel dock and cruise off? That's an option?!??!

Hello! Sadly, I can relate to losing both parents. My dad was in my late teens. Likewise, my mom had a brain bleed in my late 20s. She survived for another 12 years. It was rough seeing the gradual decline. Though it prepared me for the eventual loss. If you want some professional guidance on forming what you want to come next, I recommend reaching out to a gay friendly therapist. Finding a good therapist who's truly gay friendly (and not just a marketing ploy) is easier in a bigger city like Dallas. A good therapist can help you process some of the emotions and separate true emotions from the baggage we have grown up with. Therapy doesn't mean anything is wrong with you, just that you need some tools to sort out with new experiences/emotions. It's also not forever. Again, welcome to the forums!

doubtful. Grand Geneva is classy in being UNDERSTATED.

Mobile needs to be home base for now, but I havent checked out Tampa since childhood vacations. Probably time for a revisit. Any recommendations for strip clubs or gogo bars?

Yep, no doubt he's gorgeous. With his length in the business and prevalence of Gay4Pay, I'm just a bit dumbfounded with 'the anal sex with gay porn stars' categories. Seems like he does have slightly more business sense/maturity than Michael Hoffman. Though, I hit fast forward through the deep thoughts monologues about their business or impacts thereof. Save it for a memoir*. * - The Money is on the dresser by Chris Daniels is an entertaining read

Outside of CornerPocket in NOLA, anyone aware of other options? Mobile, Alabama? Pensacola? I'll be moving to Mobile and it'd be nice if there was more than NOLA for driveable options. Otherwise, its getting on a plane to Ft. Lauderdale or Key West (twist my arm)

For such a high class establishment with lofty standards, their web site looks like it was left in 1997! One does not expect to ***dress-to-impress*** when their advertising lacks a design to impress. Yes. I drank some haterade this morning.

random fact... Grand Geneva used to be a Playboy branded resort!

There was standing event every New Years Day, Memorial and Labor Day. Some barowners would host a private word of mouth "private party", tickets ran around 100. They brought in dancers/porn actors from around the midwest and country if the Grabbys were in town that weekend. It was stopped after the city started to crackdown on the local bars once boystown started going more straight.

I miss the private events that used to occur in Chicago. Sure the door charge was high, but then it was just between you and the dancer.
