#1 Gay Pride Event appeared to have low turnout

PALM SPRINGS, CA – The White Party is one of the most anticipated gay pride events in southern california. Palm Springs California hosts the annual White Party at the Wyndham Hotel, which was also the partial setting for the gay interest film, “Circuit. There are white parties in major cities, a group of circuit parties of GLBT interest. I arrived there on Saturday night driving there from San Diego, CA as soon as I got into town I noticed Palm canyon Drive, the main street downtown was DEAD… this was my first white party event and I expected Palm Springs to be alive with hootering and hollaring kind of like a spring break event. Barely anybody was out. I knew this was not good news. I went with a buddy of mine who’s a Marine, we checked into our hotel and went out to the bars and clubs. We stopped at a palm springs bondage sex shop and a leather bar that looked more like a public health clinic waiting room. We ended up at Hunter’s, which I have no complaints about. It was a good mixture of guys from all over, some good looking some not but it did not disappoint. They had lesbian bouncers working door, and the staff was professional and polite. We danced a little — we’re not much into it — drank out drinks and were invited to several after events, but all included sex with undesirable drunk people so we passed and decided to shoot over to the Wyndham Hotel grounds and there we started talking to people in the hotel lobby were they had oversized couches and a living room style lobby, security kept a close eye on party goers but did not in the least impede or bother any of us, and maintained a very professional appearance and demeanor. There we talked to several different people that complained that this year seemed to have a low turn out. They stated that the lobby should have been packed, but it was just us 7 guys there this time. Knowing I’d have to write a story for Boys for Breakfast my friend and I decided to walk around the halls to get a “feel” for the place… We walked down all halls of the 4-5 floors and there were no room parties, action was dead!

We returned to our room at 5:30 am and promptly took our clothes off and had our own party.. haha Marines are HOT, gay ones are usually pretty wild! We woke up around 10, went for another round and showered and decided to check out and go get Easter Sunday Brunch somewhere… he said we didn’t have to do anything fancy but since I was paying I wanted to go somewhere nice especially since I was with somebody so hot and nice. We asked the hotel clerks where the best places would be and we all decided the Wyndham Hotel again was best for brunch activities. I called Wyndham to ask them what they were serving and the obviously-gay gentlemen on the other side of the phone answered my questions in a professional manner and ended the call with, “You should come have brunch and check out the boys!”. My Marine buddy and I laughed as we again drove to the Wyndham Hotel and ate their brunch which was the BEST breaking-buffet I ever had in my life, and trust me I’ve been around! The hard crispy shim’s of bacon you sometimes get Denny’s or other breakfast places were thick, perfectly cooked, not hard and soooo yummy! They had plenty of good and the service was excellent too! They placed us in my opinion, the best pool-side table in the entire place. It ended up only being $29.95 for the both of us and an $8.00 tip. As we drove out of town we ended our trip with a few hours at the top of Mt. San Jacinto hiking the trails via the Palm Springs Arial TramWay. It was pretty romantic and my buddy enjoyed it a lot. While there we again enjoyed another late lunch. We were aloft the mountain for a few hours, and came down around 3:30 or 4:00 PM and headed home. See you guys next year!
