Attention! – Annual Palm Springs Weekend, 2026

[FRyan22]

Hi all,

I’m in town and will be free Sunday morning before the pool (and can possibly attend the pool party if not too late).

Is there a way I could get a PM about this?

thanks! (Provider)

Due to the privacy and respect of all attendees, photos are not permitted at the pool event on Sunday.  
 

several years ago, an attendee did take some photos with the consent of the individual the was the target of the photo; however, individuals in the background had not agreed to be in photos.  Since then, we have adopted the practice of not having any at the pool event.

Sadly, I am unable to attend this year.  I have so enjoyed this gathering when I have been able to make it.   I hope everyone has a great time.

Not sure I can stay too late. If anyone wants to hang by a different pool around 11am, PM me!

Great party as always. So fun to see familiar faces and chit-chat with guys I've been too shy to have talked to in past events. I look forward to next year (and I'll bring back the wrestling singlet, ha ha).

Good morning.  How was the party?  What are the 2027 dates?

I had so much fun! Such a friendly group and it was great putting faces with the handles. Thanks to all the organizers for pulling this off so well.

Much appreciation to the multiple hosts who volunteered their houses and time to make the events possible! 

And much appreciation to the gorgeous men (both escorts and clients) who made time to show up and get naked in the pool 🥳

As a relative newbie to the Forum weekends (2015, then not again until 2024) I want to thank everybody involved for making the 2026 Forum Weekend so much fun.  Most thanks go to Oliver for once again organizing the entire affair, making the arrangements for Saturday’s dinner, and all his tireless work to make sure everyone had a great time.  Thanks to purplekow for hosting the opening pool party on Friday afternoon, where we had the occasion to meet and greet each other and get the festivities started in fashion (or lack of it!)  The Saturday dinner was sumptuous and another opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones.  Finally, Sunday’s pool party was fantastic, despite less than cooperative weather. Once again, Oliver offered his lovely condo, and he was greatly aided by wonderful friends, Steve and Nate who hosted, and Nate N who made the eggs and served as paramedic, all of whom hopefully made him feel like a guest in his own home.

Many thanks to all who worked to put this together and all who attended.  I can’t wait until next year.

Just finished doing laundry, running errands, and unpacking after settling down, and now I'm cooking dinner.

It was a wonderful time to not only see the providers (less than before) but what I REALLY enjoyed was just talking and meeting other people on the board, some I haven't seen for a year, and some being brand new people I enjoyed making friends with. Given the downsides of just maintaining on-line relationships, it's refreshing and more meaningful to talk to others face to face, give hugs and kisses in real life, and eat and converse and get to know each other on a deeper level.

I echo everyone else is saying many thanks to @Oliver @nate_sf @sam.fitzpatrick @purplekow and YourHunk/Nate and various other fantastic guys for organizing all of this and taking over for the events from Friday to Sunday. If you guys ever need help in the future, don't hesitate as I believe there will be many people who would be glad to volunteer and help ease the burden of running such a rewarding weekend. And for the people who came for the first time like @TMB and @ursalex, it just makes the whole thing even more special.

I'm still smiling from the good memories that were made from this. Thank you.

GROUP HUG!

Greetings all.  Now that I have returned home and reflected on some of my personal highlights of the weekend during the flight home, I thought I would share some here:

1). There are many, many wonderful attendees, some I have now known over 10 years, some that started attending after we missed 2020 due to COVID lockdown, and a few newcomers.  The diversity of the attendees I think is what I really enjoy the most be it professional backgrounds, ages raging from 20s to 90s, geographic, and racial.

2)   Some of the best conversations (for me anyway) occur around the breakfast table each morning at INNdulge - hearing what (or who) the guys did the prior evening, recommendations for dinner while in town, what’s coming to Broadway, and updates on past attendees that were not able to attend in 2026.

3)  Dinner at Trio is always nice.   The relationship @Oliver has built over the years with the current owner makes this a great evening.   And everyone that shared thoughts about this year’s meal were outstanding!  I will place a little plug in for Trio for anyone looking for a place to dine.

For those of you interested in the stats of the weekend:  25 individuals attended dinner at Trio Saturday and 33 attended the pool event on Sunday.

I was amazed when I opened today's edition of The Desert Sun, our local newspaper, and saw an article titled "The rollicking history of 'Palm Springs Weekend'"!! However, it turned out to be about the old movie about teenagers on Easter weekend.

What could have been! Imagine!

I'm sure it's a journal of record.

I hope everybody who attended had a wonderful weekend. It sounds like a great time.

It was my first time and it was so much fun!
