I have the privilege of spending 3 days with Tyger in PS next month.

 

Since he loves outdoor "activities", I was wondering if there were any hiking areas where we could venture to explore nature and ouselves and save these memories on film?

 

I also was thinking about another activity. As Sophia would say "Picture this. Palm Springs. March of 2011" Outdoors, riding on a wild stallion, attired in chaps, the feel and smell of leather. Of course, I was referring to horseback riding!! RIGHT.

 

Should I consider shipping some gear down in advance? LOL~

Tyger,

 

I don't think you will have any trouble finding a bucking bronco to ride (I want to be first in line--remember, age does have its priviliges).

 

Certainly ship or bring whatever gear you'd like--I'm a very adventurous guy who likes surprises. A smile and a hard-on would be plenty, but I'm sure you have more "tricks" up your "sleeve"

 

Photography equipment would be hot. If this were a multiple choice question "lights, camera, ACTION", the only answer would be "ACTION"

I am immediately uncomfortable when I hear that somebody “might possibly” have a still and/or movie camera at the Saturday evening dinner or at Oliver’s pool event. What posters and their guests choose to do away from these two events is certainly their affair. Frankly if anybody is planning to photograph the dinner or pool event I would like to know in advance because if that is INDEED the case I will DEFINITELY NOT be attending.

[Bosguy]

We have no intention of bringing ant photography equipment to any of the Hooville functions. We both hold privacy very high and would never compromise anyone in any way.

 

Sorry for the confusion!!!

[NYTomcat]

No I believe we are all clear this thread is for palm springs beyond hooville. A place to post for those extracurricular events that we may have planned for our personal amusements. Absolutely agreed Epigonos no cameras. But fyi ty. Im ready for my close up Mr demille. Lol

relaaaax, relaaaax... I have no intensions of bringing my cameras to the pool party. I was referring to the comment of outdoors fun and saving the memories on film.

Epigonos, you have every right to do so or you can find an 'excuse' and say that you're camera-shy ...

 

The thing is that people come from various backgrounds and have different education and therefore "discretion" takes different shapes for different people. Private pictures and personal information are shared freely behind the scenes by certain individuals not necessarily out of malice but because of whom they are. I would be very careful what I put out there and make sure that my private information remains private.

[RockHard]

No photographs, please.

 

I would be very careful what I put out there and make sure that my private information remains private.

I've been to numerous parties hosted by very famous people on both coasts and guests have to pass entrance-door security before they are permitted to enter the property. If you are carrying a camera or a cell phone that houses a camera, you are required to check it, the same as you would check a coat and umbrella at a four-star restaurant. If you question the security folk, they will tell you that the host does not want images of the home's interior to appear anywhere and, out of respect for the guests, does not want images taken of the guests.

 

Since Oliver's party seems to be growing in more ways than one, the hosts might want to consider a tasteful way to protect their guests' privacy.

Tyger!

 

I believe the topic of cameras and picture taking was discussed and put to bed a few months ago. It was agreed, I believe pretty univerally, that it is a bad idea. Not everyone at this event is out. Even those who are still might not want their picture taken and disseminated for a variety of reasons. So I believe we agreed -- no picture or video equipment should be brought to any official weekend event. At least that is my recollection of the discussion a month or two ago.

[Bosguy]

Neither Tyger or myself ever planned on bringing any type of photography equipment to any Hooville function. We are both professional gentlemen who maintain our own privacy and respect the privacy of others.

 

The original intent of the posts regarding cameras was just meant for light-hearted fun--IT IS NOT ABOUT INVASION OF PRIVACY!!

 

I hope this can put this controversial issue to rest and those attending the functions can just enjoy themselves without this dark cloud hovering over the good times and good people that will be attending. Sincere apologies to all, especially Oliver, for this confusion.

[RockHard]

Keeping it real.

Sorry fellas but talk is cheap.

 

People promise to do a lot of shit and then at the last minute renege, offering one excuse after the other for their need to be the exception. Regardless of the public rules, notices, and majority disdain, it's impossible to keep cell phones from interrupting a Broadway performance. There's always one selfish, inconsiderate prick in every crowd. Unless the hosts offer some kind of door check, I don't see how you can trust everyone. Inevitably, someone will find a way to enter with his cell/camera phone because some men are so pathologically attached to it, not having it would be like taking heroin away from an addict. And all it takes is one phone call at the party to produce numerous pics of the attendees.

 

And furthermore, what's to stop some bitter, angry asshole from parking his car near the entrance and snapping away at all the men who enter? I suggest you attendees get your drag gear in order and pretend it's another filming of La Cage aux Folles.

Well I would say if you are this paranoid about your picture being taken that you feel you can't trust the attendees perhaps you should stay at home behind closed doors and draw all your shades.... im sure you and Mr. Hughes will be quite happy together. Although the idea of some of us in drag is quite a picture RH. Hmm im envisioning scenes from rocky horror. I can time warp. Anybody else.

 

Damn my fishnets need washing.

[Epigonos]

I have made my point and as far as I'm concerned peoples word is sufficient. I look forward to seeing everybody in Palm Springs. Thank you all for addressing my concern.

And there are people who can secretly put cameras in our houses to catch us getting our gay thing on. And people who install tracking devices in our computers to see where we go on the internets. And any other series of loons and whackos and whackoffs and nut jobs.

 

We cannot and must not let our lives be run by fear of these losers. If they dictate how we live our lives, they win. Just by giving in to their blackmail, they have won.

 

As for me this weekend in the public events they will see me standing around in a group of other men. Whoopie. We'll have clothes on and everything. How risque. We might even be seen laughing. Shocking. Oliver's slogan is my byword -- "A Gathering of Gentlemen". I am assuming everyone will have their cellphones and some might even use them to make calls or answer text messages. But I trust these gentlemen explicitly and implicitly without even knowing everyone who is coming because we all have a commonality of purpose -- a commonality for attending. What I have gotten from this community of men can never be repaid and I for one would never do anything that would risk the opprobrium of the community. It is too important to my life, especially at this time in my life. And if the community says no pictures, there will be no pictures.

 

What's to stop some bitter, angry asshole from parking his car near the entrance and snapping away at all the men who enter? Nothing. What's to stop some bitter, angry asshole from opening fire at a question and answer session for a congresswoman and hitting her and killing others? Nothing. Does that mean we should all withdraw to our lives and never interact with anyone for fear of everything? Of course not. If we do, the nutjobs have won. And we can't let them win. Ever.

In fact Epigonos it was a good point and thank you for addressing it

Cause otherwise someone might have thoughtlessly though I doubt maliciously taken pictures.

[RockHard]

Just stating the obvious (at least it's obvious to me).

 

For the rude and snarky, lick on this:

 

1. I'm out and proud, and have been since my teen years. My Midwest parents didn't love that their tall, handsome, talented son would not enjoy a heterosexual life but together we grew and continued to love each other, which made it all work.

 

2. For 30+ years, I've lived a life around cameras. Only a fool or an idiot who doesn't know me would suggest that I'm camera shy or paranoid.

 

3. I don't attend internet board parties that cater to anonymous strangers so my posts on this thread are not about me. (I'm confident intelligent readers could see that.) Even though it's not my thing, I respectfully recognize that several of the wannabe guests may have very personal needs. A good host will plan accordingly. I love being an excellent host and I thought I would share on this thread my experience with other excellent hosts. If privacy is a concern (which is not uncommon in my world), there's a smart and considerate way to handle it so that every guest can feel safe and comfortable.

 

Anyone who blurts out "but I trust these gentlemen explicitly and implicitly without even knowing everyone" makes me think of someone who smokes fairy dust.

I was at a Nina Hagen concert several years ago where there was a rule against photos and video, and at one point she literally stopped the show and from the stage spoke directly to an offender with a camera and would not continue with the show until the camera was put away. At first he resisted, and there was a stand-off until he finally put it away. Everybody else knew the ground rules so it was able to be enforced, even though rather dramatic!

 

Though I have not been to past PS gatherings I think the ground rules have been established and are understood. Plus, it always seems to me that when people are so busy trying to memorialize an event by trying to take loads of pictures, they forget to actually be present and enjoy the event in the first place. I think this sounds like it will be a fun time.
