Upcoming Events

-=-=-=-=-=- MR. SD EAGLE 2012 CONTEST THIS WEEKEND

This Friday and Saturday will be the most-crowded events at the San Diego Eagle in its entire history - Count on it. It's going to be crazy-crowded, line-extending-down-the-block attendance like you've never seen before.  I'm hearing from folks all over the place. Five contestants that I know of, and seven judges. I will be photographing, and making animal noises up near the front!

-=-=-=- RECOMMENDED HOTELS?

From: Dave in Palm Springs:

Some PSLOD members are coming into town this weekend and were wondering about a decent motel/hotel to stay in, either gay or gay friendly (well, one would probably stay in a bathouse ).  Do you have a few suggestions for them?

From: Tony - My recommendation was waaay out of date (the Hillcrest Inn, for example, is now a residence hotel).  Anybody have any good tips?

-=-=-=-=-=- UPDATES

My review of the Desert Fetish Authority (DFA) Kickoff event last week in Palm Springs is now posted. Our brother club in Palm Springs is off to a booming start!

I'm waiting for Kurt's review of the Imperial Court's Coronation Ball, and will pass it along once I get it - Two leatherfolk won, so congratulations to Emperor Tom and Empress Ajax!

I had the date wrong for the STUD PARTY at the Eagle.   It's going to be on March 10th, which is a Saturday. It's going to be a ridiculously crowded event, given who their celebrity guest is going to be.

For the next CIGARS & BOOTS event, we are shifting the location to the upper deck of the Sunday party at the Hole, but EARLY - 2PM.  That way, we get a chance to socialize at leisure, and then stick around for the usual nut-to-butt crowd of horny men that will surely follow.
