I did check out the other site, the morning Daddy told folks about HooBoy passing away, or, if you will, dying.

 

I didn't have any warning or inside information. Sad, and humbling.

I have no problem doing it with restaurants that have changed chefs, owners, or locations. Or favorite hotels that have changed management or replaced the hot pool boy. For that matter, when my gym changes towel suppliers and the new towels feel like sand paper, you bet I talk to someone about it. When you like a certain something and you get used to it being there for your pleasure, it makes sense that you might miss it when it's gone and complain to someone who is feeling similar. Human nature.

Not all of it was nasty. That's the thing. Hooboy's creation had a few unique attributes. It still has the most escort participation, and I include HE massage therapists. It's only natural that escorts want to "hang" where the most potential customers are, whether they like or interact with Daddy or not.

Say what you will about the disastrous collection of admin nincompoops, some gay men found friends there, as Buddy2 noted. The addition of PMs to the software was great incentive for like-minded men to engage more privately. Good stuff can happen with these bonding features.

Say what you will about Lucky, he started the Palm Springs Event at Hooboy's, which I hear is still going strong. No one seems to care if Lucky attends, but guys who go to this party can end up being lifelong buddies. Men can form a bond with a new escort poolside, and that relationship can last a long time. These positive attributes speak to the power of belonging. If someone takes them away, the effect can be depressing.

It is a. Bit Sad to look forward to the Palm Springs Weekend 2020 almost from the moment Palm Springs Weekend 2019 ends - according to the comments on the other site.

While I have never been to the event, I know others who have. It sounds like a middle class pool party in an ordinary desert rental house near the airport. The food is supplied by volunteers and served buffet style on paper plates. Think low-budget Church raffle. Guests tend to bring liquor, which the host leaves available for those who wish to drink.

One well known member who seems especially proud of his cock likes to get naked with a few attendee escorts as they show off their cocks in the pool. Not all attendee escorts get naked. Some escorts like to suck other escorts out in the open. Sex can also happen in other rooms in the house, depending on how you define sex, and who is horny, who is desperate, or who is drunk/high.

I never understood the "hype" created by some. You would think some gay men lead very sheltered, boring lives and never get out from their couch-potato bubble. If true, and the PS Event is the only thing to look forward to, perhaps that is sad.

I've been to some fabulous, star-studded parties in my life in some glorious locations (hello Lake Como), so I can't imagine the PS event arousing me. However, I'm always happy to hear when fellow gays enjoy themselves. A little joy is much better than no joy at all.

I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only member on these boards who partied at Calvin Klein's Gifford house on Fire Island in the 80's. I was a young, hot, tall, blond, hung, twink then, but what fabulous memories.

[Buddy2]

By January, the anticipation is electric and reaching it's peak. Members booked months ago, even added a few days of "fun" after others leave. Several members live close to Palm Springs, but never attend out if embarrassment for  the long, long, long build up. It effects me only because people don't understand why there are  many other places I would rather visit. (Not that I care.)

I happen to love Palm Springs. When I lived in L.A. very early in my career, I loved visiting PS on weekends. I was never without a tan or bleach-blond hair. Now, when I visit L.A. on business, I always try to spend a few days in PS. Fond memories.

A "gay" event centered around meeting escorts makes sense in a location like Palm Springs. Even if it's middle class. If I were its host, I would want a very sexy glamour house, or negotiate with a terrific hotel. However, I would never book a weekend when Coachella occurs. That's what you call an asshole planner.

[Buddy2]

I would change the events to allow members to get to know each other first. Realize it would spoil the weekend  for most rbut it wouldn't matter to me.

 

Palm Springs would not be in the top 200 places on my list to visit. Far behind even St. Petersburg, Russia at White Nights.

God God. The amount of plastic surgery applied to the faces, hair, lawns & gardens...

how can one stand it?

It is like Beverly Hills. 

[Buddy2]

At least Beverly Hills is a short drive from the Pacific Ocean.

 

Sad for the half a billion animals killed by the fires in Australia. Horrible.

Ah, yes, Geffen. Not my favorite. Never found him attractive. Never enjoyed the sound of his voice. He eventually bought the house. Had no interest in those parties.

There is a corner of my heart that loves Beverly Hills, in spite of all the plastic. Plastic is destroying our oceans, but I still boat on them and see their beauty. The time I lived in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood (Fountain Ave) was glorious. I quickly learned I did not want to live there full-time, but the fun experiences I had will stay with me forever.

If you speed, 45-minutes to Zuma Beach. Countless times in a gorgeous convertible.

Isn't Zuma a public beach?

With free parking.

Where else could you find an abundance of blond surfer boys who looked very much like Kurt Marshall?

Nudity was never legal, but that didn't stop many of us from taking chances. In certain corners and hidden spots, fun could be found. Sometimes, simply changing into dry clothing at your parked car, you could find yourself on the receiving end of a great blowjob. Zuma Beach was a hot place to be in the late 70's.

You get a lot of reminiscing like that in Palm Springs as the retirees look back on their heydays. Florida probably is similar.

Going on 50 years ago.

By now, I think of PS  Weekend fans as throwbacks to EST true believes. And I am  completely serious. I can barely count the number of people who tried to sell me on the multiple benefits.

 

Luckily, I have a casual friend who lives near to Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. I  am aware of the annual music festival and the weather in Spring.

That's pretty dirty pool, RockHard. You can find plenty to criticize the man for, but starting in on his personal appearance just isn't fair.  Many of us are either not so pretty or not so pretty anymore. Stick to the issues.

Fair or not, I am disgusted by the image portrayed by @RockHard and this disgust impulsively extends  to everything related to the person.

Timing is plain stupid unless they want to meet the Coachella crowd... As for the "hotels" I googled them and I would never step in these places. I also dislike the ghetto feel of gay hotels, gay restaurants, gay bars.

Gosh. No one is forcing anyone to attend the Palm Springs Weekend, formerly known as the Hooville Weekend. You get to meet popular escorts, fellow posters, and eat and drink in abundance. All free too! Since I know fewer people there each year, it isn't the same for me. I do remember going the Weekend that Totally Oz went. I think he had a great time, and I know that I was happy to see him.

The Coachella Weekend is a bird of a different feather. I'd take escorts any day.

Probably, I would have never met you without the event!

The event has become laughable only because some members take it soooo seriously.

No one could possibly force me to attend a cheap motel, gay ghetto weekend. And I would take (few) of the Coachella crowd over (most) escorts any time.
