Absolutely! Lots of people attend solo. We're a very friendly bunch!

If you are inclined to be social it does not matter.  The dinner is family style at a very nice restaurant.  There is usually a welcome get together which is very casual.  Barbecue and chit chat and some naked guys in the pool.  Most people will welcome you with open arms.  By the third day you will be greeting people as though they are old friends.  This is especially so if you stay at one of the more popular places such as InnDulge or Canyon Club.   Even if you do not, coming over in the morning to one of those places will likely allow you to have a casual breakfast with other attendees.   There are other get togethers which may strike your fancy, hiking, karaoke, casinos, casually thrown together dinners etc.  This is not high schooll with everyone assigned a seat at a certain table and cliques with no interest in meeting others.  And of course, there are also clients and escorts getting together for "a game of bridge".

You would be more than fine 🙂 and you not knowing anybody would last only a few seconds.  It's a very kind and  welcoming group of people.

That was my situation 5 years ago at the event.   Now I look forward to going every year, especially for meeting new and familiar "bridge" partners.

Is there anyone whose place I could crash at over the weekends? If possible perform massages at location. Also message if want to split a room.

You’ll be fine. The hardest part is walking into David’s pool party on the first day. It’s awkward opening the front door and walking into someone’s house you’ve never met before. Nonetheless, my discomfort only lasted about 2 minutes until people started walking over and introducing themselves. It’s a very friendly bunch. I was suprised at how many men I met who’ve never posted here. There’s a large number of lurkers on this forum. And of course, finally getting to match faces to the profiles and characters here was a real hoot as well. 

My only regret is that my love of luxury lead me to book at the Hacienda at Warm Sands. The place is beautiful and very relaxing, but it seemed like all the cool kids were having more fun across the street at Inndulge. 

I say just go and check it out. You may love it. You may hate it. But you’re never gonna know until you try.

If you ever want to come over and spend some time with us at Inndulge, we can make that happen, you know. Just get one (or more) of our phone numbers and text us. They leave us unsupervised after the staff goes home at night and I've had a few people join me for breakfast over the years. I think I pay enough for my suite that nobody's ever asked me to splash out for an extra piece of toast and cup of coffee, but if they ever do, I'll happily do it. We can just sneak you in the side door. Hacienda is literally across the street.

It will be fine and you will have a great time. Just walk in and say hi my name is CALLAS on the board and this is my first time here and everyone will welcome you.

Last year was my first PS weekend. I came alone. I felt this same way at first:

Then the rest of the weekend it was easier to open up and socialize. I didn’t get to talk to everybody, and with some I only met briefly or chatted with a few minutes the whole weekend because there is so much going on. I wish I had more time with more members last year, but I’ve been in touch with several of you in person, by text, online, and by phone in the months following.

The good news is no matter how little or much you interact with any particular member over the weekend, you can continue to build your connections long after. PS is a great way to spark up conversations and make those connections, however deep or shallow they initially may be. You can’t hide behind a screen name here. It’s real people being themselves in the moment, and that’s pretty refreshing.

The other good news is that members attending these trips are the cream of the crop. They’re the most welcoming, social, friendly, supportive, and fun of the whole lot. True, some are lurkers or rarely post, and that’s ok. They’re fun too! Everyone is there to have a good time. Remember that even the most social among us are shy or nervous at times. Once you break the ice with one or two, it’s very easy to make friends with many others. So say hello.

Anyone wanting to chat with me please come up and say hello. I don’t bite… at least not until we establish consent.

My masseur/escort bud Newell plans to attend the dinner again. I’ll update the group closer to the dates. He’s probably only staying for 1-2 nights, as he gets restless on these trips. Say hello to him at the dinner. He’s a tall ginger hulk but very friendly. Newell is a bit shy about coming up and chatting with new people, but very easy to talk to if you initiate a conversation.

Does Newell mind if you ask for evidence that he is a natural Ginger?   How does he feel about being held prisoner until the entire weekend is over?   Oh so many questions and so little time.

LOL. PM me. He’s open to lots of things. I’ve been quite up and personal with him working together to verify that yes, he is a natural ginger... all over. What “evidence” do you need? 😆 He’s partial to wearing hats so maybe not obvious clothed, at quick glance. We are looking forward to doing some bdsm related scenes together for a client soon. I am sure we can arrange something.

I really do hope you decide to make it to the gathering. For years I thought "it's not for me" until one day I found myself at a hotel that had many folks attending the forum gathering and it changed my entire perspective ( yes, a man is entitled to change his mind 😜 ) Loads of really nice and friendly people. I've attended 2 or 3 times since then and last year was the first time I went to the pool party that takes place on Sunday. 

[Callas]

just booked all. Will see you guys there ☺️

[DznNYC]

A little late to the game on this, but this seems like an amazing time.  

And it looks like InnDulge may still be booked, though the site suggests I call the property to inquire.  I'm guessing I could only do Thursday or Friday through Monday.

Is it still worth it if I can only do a limited time?  Or if I can't manage a room at InnDulge?

Yes, absolutely. I attended Friday afternoon through Monday morning and it worked out great. There’s something organized to do with the group each day.

InnDulge is a ton of fun, but it books up months in advance. Call just in case. I booked a year in advance this time to make sure I could get a larger room type to better accommodate my massage table.

If InnDulge doesn’t work out, you can stay at many other nearby hotels and hang out for free around the pool at InnDulge as a guest. Be my guest 😉 

We’d love to meet you, @DamizzonNYC!

[DznNYC]

I’m working on making this happen!   Thankfully I have a friend who lives nearby I can crash with, cause InnDulge looks full.  😫 
 

Fingers crossed, this sounds like an amazing time.

Tentative dates - for those who like to plan ahead – mark your calendars for Saturday (dinner), April 12 - Sunday (pool), April 13 and Monday (breakfast), April 14.  I hope to see many of you there.  And to those of you who said “I’ll go next year” – it’s next year!😀 

Just to let you know - the dates (as stated above) are no longer "tentative".  They're real!  And it's almost next year!🥂🎉🎉  Happy New Year!

Good to know . . . I just got my airline tickets.   🤩    I had gotten my resort tickets previously.  Thanks for all your work.  And it is the new year.

I learned that PS also has a Villagefest on Thursday nights which is a Thursday night street fair for vendors, arts, crafts, and of course, lots of food stalls and trucks!

Plus, there's the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings at the Palm springs Cultural Center:

Farmers Markets in Coachella Valley California

Fresh and locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers, meat and more. All our farmers and vendors are certified so you can trust that the produce is organic and grown in an...

We can make a group visit/event to there if people are interested.

yes, the Thursday evening VillageFest is fantastic......several blocks of various things for sale and nice to just wander and people-watch......well worth it......we did go to the PS Cultural Center farmers' market one day about two or three years ago after a group hike during the forum weekend, but I found it to be a bit small with not many booths or action......however, we were just wandering and I'm sure local regulars know where what they want is and how to get it and get out
