2013 i Palm Springs

[+ Oliver]

Well, that was fun! Thank you all of you who attended this year for making the 9^th Annual an apparent success. A few special “thank-yous” are in order:

 

Ace – for your usual ebullience and for bringing your generous companion.

azdr0710 – happy to welcome you and your companion. Perhaps both events next year?

Chris Eisenhower – so tall, friendly, fuzzy and sexy!

Daddy – for your support.

epigonos – for the delicious delectables you provided, as well as your subdued countenance.

jackhammer – for providing “security” and being my friend.

jawjateck – for being the classic Southern gentleman – oh, and who was that with you? Aces are wild! It was a Banner year.

jj69 – for the leather presence and Nate Bruno!

Joey Bryant – for being a pleasant surprise.

leigh.bess.toad – for introducing your partner and for the all the cookies (including the special ones for my 4-legged friend).

Robster – happy to welcome you and your partner, and please come again.

Rusty Blue – for helping me to test the water temperature!

sfwestcoaster – for being the class man and friend that you are.

Steven Kesslar – “Argo f*** yourself!”

Traveler North – for making it possible for us to finally meet – oh, and who was that with you? Tristan Buns?

Tyger – for being here. It would be nice if he would come out of his shell and make up to people:rolleyes: – right, Chris?

To he who was puppy-sitting and couldn’t attend Sunday – fix that next year!

 

Lucky – for beginning this entire thing nine years ago, and to his partner for his culinary skills and happy presence.

 

Last but not least:

Jason Carter (aka “Venus”) – my untiring and ever-helpful “Erotic Technical Consultant” (ETC). He certainly lengthened his resume (and some other things!) this weekend.

 

Come back next year for Number 10!

I got to the point about Tyger and choked on my drink.

 

You are awesome, Oliver.

My congratulations Oliver for hosting another wonderul Palm Springs get together. For all who have attended, the success and comradery has so much to do with this wonderful man's class and caring. Hats off to an example of all that the Forum is about.

 

See you next year!!

Well it looks like I certainly missed a wonderful weekend..Aaahhh to have met the EOY, Joey, seeing Jason again, you, LBT, and so so many others. My hat is off to you and Lucky and all those that went above and beyond the "call of duty"..... God willing, I'll see y'all next year.....

[Traveler North]

Oliver, I can't describe in words how much fun I had at the weekend. Obviously it was great pleasure to have Tristan with me. But he really enjoyed meeting everyone as did

I. We both made new friends and saw old ones. Hope to see you all next year. This first experience was fabulous.

[JoeyBryant]

Thanks very much for the great weekend and making way to spend time with you and Jason 1 on 1 (no guys, it wasn't like 'that').

 

If anyone is planning to go in the future, don't do the weekend A la Carte. The dinner preludes the pool party. Meeting everyone over dinner 1st builds a little rapport before going to a house full of faces where you may not know anyone. That said, regardless of who talks about more important things to do...if you're on this forum you will have enjoyed being there. It's more fun than anyone on the forum can describe.

 

What made this so different is it wasn't just hanging out with group of gay guys...I do that every weekend and yet I still feel no relation to them. When my friends are talking about work and their job, I can't really talk about mine. This was the 1st time I spent time with a group of people who were IN THE BUSINESS. It was reminescent of those company holiday parties, where you actually had stuff to talk about, except nothing is censored or edited. You can be as nasty as you want to be in the pool and still be classy over dinner without going into work Monday worrying you made a fool of yourself and can't look anyone in the eye because you alll got naked

Oliver, you did an outstanding job as always, together with your trusty "ETC." Thanks for your hospitality and for sweating the details without a hitch.

 

And I notice you've thanked the gang in alphabetical order. Very shrewd my friend - you know this crowd well :-)

[Rusty Blue]

Thanks for hosting the gang, Oliver. It was a sexy afternoon full of sexy people and great food! The water was fiiine as was your ETC (omg!)

And another thank you to all the folks that helped make sure I didn't get sunburnt

[+ Robster]

Oliver, thank you for being such a charming and gracious host! Wayne and I are already looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

Oliver,

I want to thank you so very much for a wonderful weekend! I have been blessed by several escorts that have made my life so much better;

Ace Rock Star, for teaching and showing what FUN a guy man can have and for being a really wonderful friend.

Nate Bruno for providing adventure after adventure and being so damn nice! He is so warm and caring and totally HOT!

Chris Eisenhower for showing yet another side of FUN and for dancing with his shirt off and sleeping in the middle of the bed! This is a MAN I want to get to know better!

Tyger, what a touch this man has! He gave me a flogging and body manipulation that released so much pent up emotion that I cried from grief, from love, from the depth of my soul! Truly an amazing experience and all in ONE weekend!

Oliver you arranged all of this, YOU made it happen, there is a lot of Karma in your bank! I met so many wonderful Men and had so many great discussions that this post would be pages long. Seeing how some respond, I want to keep it short. To the Men that I didn’t name, you know you have a special place in my heart and if any of you come to Las Vegas please look me up!

Thank you one and all for making my b-day weekend extra special and for having FUN!

[jj69action]

Hope the cock ring is working for you! It's a bit of fun!

Thanks for hosting the gang, Oliver. It was a sexy afternoon full of sexy people and great food! The water was fiiine as was your ETC (omg!)
