Guest Oliver Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 We have come to that time when it's necessary to make more definite plans for the festivities. Specifics will not be posted here, in order to preserve confidentiality. Therefore, if you are serious about attending this year's events, please send me an e-mail (not a private message) with your return e-mail address so that I may send you the pertinent information as it unfolds. Your confidential information will be respected, as I expect mine to be. Tickets to The Follies will be the first order of business, followed later by dinner reservations, and, finally, RSVP's for the pool event at my condo. Attendance is restricted to escorts and regular posters. There has been much discussion about what happens at the event, and I should like to say that if you do not feel comfortable with what you have read, then perhaps you should rethink attending. It's a time to relax and enjoy the company of others with common interests, without being judgmental. It has been such in the past and I would wish it to continue as such. I suggest that if you will be coming from out-of-town and need accommodations, you may wish to arrange for those ASAP, as has been recommended by The Follies management. Again the dinner and show will be on Saturday, March 19, and the pool event will be in the afternoon of Sunday, March 20. The Follies performance begins at 7 pm. Therefore, dinner will be early. If you have any questions, please ask in your e-mail. Enjoy! Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted January 13, 2011 Members Posted January 13, 2011 Oliver, Good luck with the party. It sounds like great fun. You have a succesful track record by historical account. I'm sure it will be another repeat success and possibly with record attendance. Too bad some have to manufacture drama out of thin air but some just seem to be gifted at that. On the bright side, better to have it exhausted in that forum than brought to the gathering. Please let those of us who cannot make it know of the high points of the gathering after you recover from the hosting activities. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I know directly from people who have attended in the past that its a weekend loaded with good times. Not sure why people would make more of it than just that. Anyway, maybe I will make it to the 2012 event, this way people will have something to look forward to Quote
Members Lucky Posted January 18, 2011 Members Posted January 18, 2011 Totally Oz tells me that he has the event penciled in, and I hope he does make it. Of course I plan to attend. Thanks to Oliver for carrying the extra burden this year. He is truly a great guy and a great host, so try to make plans now to attend. Quote
TotallyOz Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Yes, I intend to go. I have wanted to do this for years and am excited to attend. Can't wait to meet all the posters in person. Quote
Members Lucky Posted January 27, 2011 Members Posted January 27, 2011 In speaking with Oliver as he loaded the wagon train for his trip out west, I learned that he has a record number of folks saying that they will attend this year. Sure, some will drop out, but others who have yet to decide may make the numbers even higher. So it looks promising at this stage. If you are on the fence about coming, think how sad you will feel when you learn that you missed the event of the year! Quote
Members OneFinger Posted January 27, 2011 Members Posted January 27, 2011 Even since meeting Oliver I've wanted to attend one of these weekends. Unfortunately, it falls the same weekend as our company annual meeting (mandatory attendance). Wishing you guys a fun time and wishing I could be there. Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted February 6, 2011 Members Posted February 6, 2011 Just got this cleared on my schedule. I will be attending the dinner(not the show)and pool party with two friends one of whom is a bit of a legend around these parts -don't ask cause I aint tellin' Quote
TotallyOz Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 It looks like the party is going to be a blast! Quote
Guest Oliver Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 We're to the nitty-gritty as to Follies tickets. Today I sent information to those who have notified me that they will attend, about purchasing tickets. If you wish to attend and have not yet let me know, please let me know ASAP so that I can provide you with the appropriate info. Thanks everyone for your cooperation. Looks like a fun group! It's gorgeous here today! Quote
Members Lucky Posted February 19, 2011 Members Posted February 19, 2011 Good work, Oliver. Historically we held the Weekend on President's Day Weekend, which is now. But we are having cold, rainy weather. Even if the rain stops as expected on Sunday, the high temp will only be 61 degrees, with a low of 41. I'm not going out in the pool this weekend! Quote
Members Lucky Posted March 12, 2011 Members Posted March 12, 2011 It appears that over 30 people will attend Saturday night's dinner, and close to 40 will come to the pool party on Sunday. Our first Palm Springs Weekend we had 14 for dinner, and about 20 on Sunday. Once Oliver began his pool event the second year, the event continued to grow. Why, we are even having folks fly in from the east coast! This is something I never imagined when I first thought of holding the event. I just wanted to get to know some of my fellow posters,and apparently so do a lot of other guys. Many thanks to Oliver for keeping the event running. All are welcome, as long as you are a regular poster or an established escort. I hope everyone has a great time. The event would be nothing if not for the people who attend. I make much the same argument about message boards. They would be nothing if not for the people contributing to them. So take Pride in what you have accomplished! If you hear an owner say "it's my message board" just ask him what he would have if none of us posted! Quote
Members mvan1 Posted March 12, 2011 Members Posted March 12, 2011 "If you hear an owner say "it's my message board" just ask him what he would have if none of us posted!" Hmmm, that hits close to somewhere far far away. Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Did you have to reserve tables for dinner? Is it going to be easy for them to handle this large group? Both Lucky and Oliver need big hugs for all their hard work and effort. I have organized parties many times and have a blast but it is hard work. Thanks guys! You are the best! Quote
Members Lucky Posted March 12, 2011 Members Posted March 12, 2011 Now, mvan, don't start that guessing! I only meant to use a generic website owner. Could be anyone, except Oz! Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 It is getting close to the weekend event! I hope many of you are going for the fun festivities! Quote

Well, Oliver and Epigonos did all the legwork this year on the restaurant. I sort of paved the way for them last year. Many of the guys are already in town. Don't you think the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce should give us a plaque or something? Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 20, 2011 Members Posted March 20, 2011 A big thank you to Oliver,Lucky and Epiqonos for orchastrating a wonderful dinner party at a great location. Palm springs is packed this weekend-we were fortunate to have had this at such a popular place Quote
Members Lucky Posted March 21, 2011 Members Posted March 21, 2011 Just got this cleared on my schedule. I will be attending the dinner(not the show)and pool party with two friends one of whom is a bit of a legend around these parts -don't ask cause I aint tellin' He wasn't showing either as Mr. Locke appeared without any legend in his company. This after rumors had abounded about which Hollywood star he would bring. But we enjoyed Mr. Locke's presence, and the guest he did bring was a very fine fellow. I had hoped that Scott Adler would come this year, but he didn't. Kristian did not make it either. Nonetheless, there were 11 escorts in attendance at Oliver's pool event today. The weather had cooled off but it didn't dampen the fun. The venue for the dinner last night received unanimous praise. It's hard to see the Weekend end as we had looked forward to it for so long. This year was very enjoyable, maybe more so for me since I had less duties to tend to. But it sure was nice to hear over and over again what a great time people were having. Jason Carter's dinner tonight brings the Weekend to a close with some great memories and some really nice times. You might not realize what great guys you post with until an event like this. My many thanks to Oliver for bringing everything together in such a fine fashion. Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 21, 2011 Members Posted March 21, 2011 Yes-unfortuantly real life interceded and my "legend"guest had to deal with it instead of frollicing in the partial sun. It was a fun time and I am glad I attended. I was on the brink of cancelling but I am happy I did not. Thanks again to the organizers. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Trio is one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. I'm sure you had a great time there. Quote
Guest epigonos Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 As always it was a fantastic and exciting weekend! Oliver outdid himself. He is always the perfect host and does everything possible to make the entire experience enjoyable for all. Jason Carter was as ever the charming, the efficient, and the effervescent right hand man. It was great to meet and converse with Totally Oz. I just hoped I convinced him that Puerto Vallarta is TOTALLY safe and that he MUST visit. To all the clients and escorts in attendance – it was great fun meeting you and spending time with you. As always I am already looking forward to next year’s event. Best wishes to all, stay safe and well and I will hopefully see you all again next year. Quote
Members TownsendPLocke Posted March 23, 2011 Members Posted March 23, 2011 I was EXTREMELY dissapointed not to have met Roman at the party.Also Tyger looks totally different from the last time I met him and thus did not recognize him-he is getting hotter as the years pass If I might sugget name tags for next years event? I will be happy to provide them and place them on fellas Quote
Guest NYTomcat Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I was EXTREMELY dissapointed not to have met Roman at the party.Also Tyger looks totally different from the last time I met him and thus did not recognize him-he is getting hotter as the years pass If I might sugget name tags for next years event? I will be happy to provide them and place them on fellas Damn Im sorry Did I keep him too busy in the pool? Im sure Romann would have loved to have met you.. we were in Palm Springs for 8 days. Next year you should try and come out with us to Barracks after the Pool Party It was a blast with Ace Ty Romann Dane Ryaan Nate DavidSF all decked out in there new leather from Gear. Dane and Ryann in their real fatigues and harnesses and Romann in his leather sailer suit woof. Then of course ty in his chain collar and harness. Ace in a leather body suit. Nate in a harness is a thing of beauty It was really something not to be missed. Once the leather escort pics get done we are going to get some posted with escort permission I'll see if I cant get them linked up here. Quote
