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!

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.

A tool-belt, of course.

Village fest is 6-10 PM tonight so if anyone wants to go, I can take three people and we can carpool there. Parking may be a bit crowded but I’ll try to park close by. I’m at the InnDulge so PM if you want to go. I might try to beat the crowd and leave at 5:45 PM.

Also PM if you want to organize something on Friday night; I can drive since Ubers are too expensive.

Also, Saturday from 8:00 to 1:00 PM is the Farmers Market at the PS Cultural Center. I’ll leave around 11:00 for a good meal of tamales so let me know if you want to come along.

I've arrived!  At El Mirasol Villas.  Anything going on today?  I might check out Toolshed or Arenas.  Private message or contact me, happy to just get in touch or hang out.  I'm just planning to be at the pool gathering, but in PSP for the weekend.

Good afternoon.  Give us the exciting details for the people who are not able to make it

[+ m_writer]

I think we’re going to Hunters tonight as a group but I’m not sure on the details or who’s organizing it.

Not sure. I think people will trickle in on their own after dinner so I might head over at 8:30 PM just to check it out. But no confirmed group or time as of now.

Some of us are at Black Book across the street. Let us know if you’re at Hunters
