As an abecedarian who is typically overwhelmed by shyness, I was more than a little anxious about attending this event. A couple of issues motivated me to show up and I couldn't have been happier. Almost to a man, folks were warm and fun and friendly and welcoming. It was like a family reunion. I was lucky enough to sit next to @Oliver at Trio and he was engaging and funny. I ran into @Epigonos Friday evening (?) at Inddulge and it seemed like a wave of smiles and laughter followed him throughout the weekend. The deviled eggs were outstanding and as a simple farm boy from the foothills for the Great Smokey Mountain, I have eaten (and judged)hundreds of deviled eggs. @azdr0710 not only carted me around, he seemed happy to do so. Also, don't miss his hikes. He'll probably like you better and won't abandon you, whimpering and helpless and hydration-free, on Rim Road. @Eric Hassan is one of the nicest men I've ever met. He drove me several places and I was especially glad to have a bud bud. @purplekow is entertaining and jovial. @stevenkesslar took his face out of his Tristan Baldwin pics collection long enough to have lunch with me and @LoveNDino. He's thoughtful and funny and down-to-earth. @latbear4blk is also very wittyr and I was glad that his personality matched his persona here. He's a nice guy with a terrific sense of humor. @alexhawk was gleeful and smiling every time I saw him. @sf westcoaster was a joy. LoveNDino was the only man I knew going into the weekend and we had only texted before Thursday. We braided each other's hair, talked about boys and became lifelong friends. Don't worry, LoveNDino. If they let you come back next year, I'm sure you'll make a much better impression! I know I've overlooked many folks and I'm sorry for that. I was often lost in the two name game (forum v. public) and I cannot get many of those straight. I mainly wanted to address men who might think this isn't isn't for them for one reason or another. I was more than comfortable. I was immersed in comraderie and friedship immediately. I'm sure I'd well up at the thought if I hadn't had my feelings removed in 1989. Well done, guys! Thank you all so much. Is there any way we can hold this event in Barcelona next year? I really want to visit Spain! TA!

Yes ABCDarian. You now own the word. AZ

Whatever the romantic entanglement you may have at the moment, one thing is for sure, you are a gracious man, sir. I appreciate it very much.

Let's bullet point the week end highlights. I start:
 

GangstaJ, walking around naked. Someone told me @Guy Fawkes was playing with his dick on Friday night.
@Ace birthday party, which I missed
@Guy Fawkes eating by himself a whole tray of shrimp
Legal mariguana
Draven Navarro walking around semi naked, carrying stuff always in a rush, and allowing @Guy Fawkes to pet him
@Guy Fawkes trying to turn Canyon Club in one big party integrating everyone
Vin Marco
@purplekow and @Traveler North booking hot men like crazy
@IronMaus dick
@jawjateck 's Persian God
@Oliver 's hospitality
@Epigonos' delikatessen (I am trying not to repeat myself about his EMPANADAS)
@stevenkesslar 's luminous eyes
@stevenkesslar 's surprising quietness. No verborrhea.
Mark, @azdr0710 's straight, former gogo boy, friend
the weather
@Lance_Navarro 's singing
the drag queens show at Toucans Tiki Bar
Karaoke at Streets
@LoveNDino and @azdr0710 hike
@azdr0710 going out of his way to give us rides everywhere.
@LoveNDino
@LoveNDino and @SuperJunior sharing their weed
DaveSF fingering @Eric Hassan obsessively
Dinner at Trio
Lucky, founder of Hooville Week End (the original name of the event) attending the pool party (only to try the devil eggs, he said in boytoy)
The city built in the foots of the mountains, in he dessert
@VictorPowers coming from the gym and showing off his pumped up pecs
@tristanbaldwin 's late arrival
@Eric Hassan 's smile
chatting with @TruthBTold
@alexhawk and @nate_sf friendliness and smiles
Sunrise at Canyon Club
the PSI airport
the staff at Canyon Club
the Wind Farm

All of the above. Plus, my figuring out who Latinbear was by his beautiful charming accent. Dr. Vapor helping a very shy Truth find some blissful happiness with only one big somewhat inartful inhale. Spending the requisite time with Tristan B., the Catherine Deneuve of the Weekend. My ability to stare constantly at Vin Marco (where does someone buy a shirt that tight?) knowing he was going to be covered in mauve soon. And the ability to come back to 35 degree weather with a luscious tan to be envied by all far and wide here.

OK guys so latbear4blk made a mistake. We ALL make mistakes. He has removed the offending photographs from his blog and apologized. Enough already. It's time, and more, to bury this thread and move on.

HBO's Oz and True Blood are great and have interesting, complex, same-sex representation. Sometime very HOT complex same sex representation. I'm very hesitant to name the best show of all time, queer-adjacent or otherwise. How can Monty Python's Flying Circus be compared to The Twilight Zone to I Love Lucy to The Tonight Show to Battlestar Gallactica to Batman to The West Wing? That damned eye of the beholder is always hanging out on the corner with its cigarettes and rock-and-roll. I'm sure all the recommendations here are worth watching. You have an advantage over those of us who watched as they aired in that they've all ended. You can watch as much or as little as you like!

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

I understand why this is an important issue.
 
However, your blog is very interesting for me; someone who has never attended the annual event. I learned a lot. Thanks for taking the time and effort man. If I ever attend, I would spenf most of the time connecting on-line names with the people there.

I think the smartest move would be to remove all the pictures. I understand your intention and that it did not go well in execution.

All pictures have been removed.
 
I wish I could go back on time and undo what I did, but I cannot. I have done everything I could possibly do, which is apologizing and removing all pictures. I cannot do more.
 
I am not making excuses. I made a mistake. I am vey sorry.

Even guys I understood had given their consent have asked me privately to remove their pictures. Rather than contacting individually each model for a double check, I just took all the pictures down, I will be more careful next time.
Besides, a radical move like taking down all the pics is the best I can do to show my intentions were noble.
Thank you for the suggestion, Guy!

@latbear4blk, I read your blog and it was wonderful to hear about so many neat people getting together. I especially enjoyed seeing photos of some of my favorite people !
Thanks for posting this.

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

Me too!
 
I think this was my 10th consecutive year. And that's not escort years or escort inches - 10 actually means 10.
 
No one else has said it, so I will. This is a year in which the threat of survival hung over us in a way that it never has before. Will escort websites still be around a year from now? And if not, what will be the oxygen that feeds and connects this community?
 
I've felt this way every year, but I think I felt it this year more than ever. This is a community I love, and am proud to be a part of. Nothing anybody says or does, and no law that tries to diminish us, can change that.
 
I love Oli. I love Epi. I love the fact that we are who and what we are.
 
I love the fact that every year some hot, bright, shining new escorts arrive, and they look ever younger and prettier and ever better endowed. I love the fact that new forum members bring their passion and excitement and hunger for friendship and support and community.
 
I love the fact that men who I have known for moving on two decades show up, smile, care, cuddle, and suck cock. They've been my rock in good times and bad.
 
The oxygen that feeds this community is the love, respect, and concern we have all shared with each other. And neither the Palm Springs winds nor federal laws can blow that away.
 
Our community set a national example for how to feel and care and love and accept when it came to same sex marriage. This is a scary and confusing time. But my conviction coming out of this weekend is that nothing has changed, and we are stronger than we have ever been.
 
This next year will probably be a wild ride, and I don't presume to know exactly where it will lead us.
 
But wherever it goes, we're all in it together. And next year we'll have Oli's beads and Epi's empanadas and Tristan's kind eyes and hot body and Lord knows what new wonders to enjoy together.
 
So, yeah. I can't wait for next year!

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.
