2025 Palm Springs Weekend

If there's any evening informal bar outings or groups I'd be happy to join socially 😎. I usually only attend the Sunday pool gathering.

in the past, a group of us would go to the Tool Shed (or the Barracks?) after the Friday pool party; I think there were go-go boys and a fun crowd; not certain how we'd organize that, but I remember meeting @Oliver and other forum guys there then.

Easiest way to organize that would be right here.  Anyone wanting to go to the Toolshed for Happy hour on next Friday?  Hunters has two for one 6 dollar well drinks on Friday iif that is more appealing.   Also go-go boys at Hunters. Parking would likely be tough so if you are voting for Hunters car pooling is probably best.

The Sunnylands visitor center. 

Didn’t the Arenberg’s have a large mid century home in PS? Or was it some other plutocrat? We didn’t call them billionaires in those days. Money has become so cheap now. (sigh).

I just looked it up. The Sunnylands Visitor Centre is on the Annenberg’s estate in PS. I knew about it years ago. 
 

The Annenberg’s  had more money  than God in their day.

A bar outing on Friday night sounds fun. All depends on client appointments though. If I am less busy, count me in.

I'm going to confess something: I've only been to a gay bar at night once years and years ago, and I didn't have a good time because I was drinking by myself. If we go in a group, I might be tempted to come along for the ride just for the experience. But why is parking tough? If it's a small parking loot, can't we just park in the street?

Hunters is the one with the go go boys and that is in the middle of the gay area.  Friday night in a gay neighborhood with cheap booze.  You could have 10000 psrking spots and it would still be tough to find a spot.  If you are willing to walk a few blocks, things get easier.  So carpool. Drop off the passenger and drivers fend for themselves is the plan.  I think Hunters is a better choice just because there are a bunch of bars in the area and if you dont like it there, you can move on alone or with a group.  So I will ask opnly those who think they are likely to come to decide.    

Hunters.  Go Go Boys and parking issues

Toolshed.   Less of a parking issue and there is an outside area. Reports of temps in the low 100s for next week

Another bar if you care to decide.     

If you want to come but don't care or don't know, Vote abstain and that way we can get an idea of the number of people.  

mwriter I suggest you come on down   Another idea that might be good, one year I bought about $100 dollars worth of liquor, well it had alcohol in it and some mixers and brought it into the Canyon Club.  We had about 20 guys sitting around the pool and had our own happy hour.  It seems InnDulge is the popular place this year so we could do that if someone is will to lay out the original investment in the alcohol.  Also, would need to check out that the management does not have policy against such a gathering.

I'm game for a Friday nite outing.  No preference as to what or where it is.

I’ve never been to Hunters and seen go-go boys so that sounds good! And we’ll be experiencing a heat wave in SoCal next week so I’ll be prepared for hot weather even at night.

if we do something at the pool of InnDulge instead I will bring my homemade lemon bars we can all enjoy.

Don’t forget underwear night is at Toolshed on Thursday night. You don’t need to strip down to your underwear, but might enjoy eyeing those who do 😋

Plus our boy Ace emcees the underwear contest, and it’s a hoot!

I asked last year. INNdulge is fine with guests coming over, and they do not charge for guests to enjoy the pool as long as they come at a paying guest’s invitation. They do not welcome large gatherings.

Oh, a cold snap on Sunday for the pool party! As an aside, Canberra had it's first subzero (C) overnight temp on Sunday, the earliest for 30 years.

Lord have mercy, it is 38 degrees here in Chicago.  I have to check for my sunscreen.

@purplekow re Friday night: should those of us who wish to go just meet at Hunters at a given time?  if so, what do you think would be the best time to go?

[+ m_writer]

Tomorrow I’ll be going to the Village-Fest and if anyone wants to go with, we can make it a group activity on Thursday night.

Also made lemon bars last night and will make the blueberry compote before heading out to PS for us to enjoy at the pool at Inndulge.

For visitors who wonder what the "Cillage Fest is, that is a typo. It is the "Village Fest," and it takes place every Wednesday evening downtown.

Yes my mistake! I meant VILLAGE-FEST. 😅

But isn’t it on Thursday nights? Because today is Wednesday.

No but I did want to go to Hunters on Friday. Tonight I wanted to try the Village Fest.

However, see if anyone wants to go with you as a group tonight.
