Click at the top on Places, then click on Palm Springs.</p> <p>There is the Arial Tramway to the top of the mountain (8000 ft) with restaurant and gift shop. Off North Palm Canyon. (http://www.pstramway.com/contact.asp) , </p> <p>The Living Desert (47-900 Portola Avenue,Palm Desert of East Palm Cyn) - basically a zoo with animals and plants indigenous to the Desert. (There's also a faux native village - with a few animals found in other countries). On a hot day, go early in the morning. Oh - over the holiday time, there is a treat - The Wild Holiday lights. <a href="http://www.livingdesert.org/calendar/default.asp." rel="nofollow">http://www.livingdesert.org/calendar/default.asp.</a></p> <p>Most of the Gay Resorts offer a day/night passes. This is a cool thing as you can hang by the pool, or take in the events that may be going on. Also you'll get to see the other resorts you may want to stay at next time.</p> <p>Once you get to Palm Springs pick up a Desert Daily Guide or the Bottom Line magazine. They both give details and up-to-date events going on the for the week and upcoming. You can get these at most gay establishments (bars/hotels/specialty stores) for free. </p> http://www.gaycities.com/forums/topic/nye-2008-dayton-ohio-its-all-about-the-music-3#post-252 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:47:46 +0000 EProductions 252@http://www.gaycities.com/forums/ <p>---------<br /> LINEUP:<br /> ---------<br /> WITH PERFORMANCES BY:</p> <p>Angel Alanis - Noise Floor Crew, Klientele,Asquared Muzik, Subject Unknown, A trax - Electro, House, Techno</p> <p>- versus -</p> <p>Lady Foursquare - Noise Floor Crew, Klientele, - Electro, House, Techno</p> <p>Kos - Reno, Nv. - Vestex, East Music Group - House, Electro, Turntablism</p> <p>Diggabeatz - Salt Lake City, Ut. - Fader Freakz, Headspin, East Music Group - Breaks &#38; Electro</p> <p>Xavier - West Palm Beach, Fl. - East Music Group - House, Breaks, Electro</p> <p>K X D - 6 TURNTABLE TAG TEAM - East Music Group - House, Breaks, Electro, Turntablism</p> <p>Gein - Atlantia, Ga. - Habit, Guerilla, EVOL Intent, Tech Itch, Moving Shadow, Freak, Lost Soul, Penetration - Drum &#38; Bass producer</p> <p>E11even - Denver, Co. - Mountain Vision Psytrance, E Productions - Psytrance</p> <p>Scrilla - Grand Haven, Mi. - Rapid Eye, Dirtywax Media, <a href="http://www.djskrilla.com" rel="nofollow">www.djskrilla.com</a> - Jackin' Hard House &#38; Techno</p> <p>Andy B - St. Lewis, Ms. - Catalytic Souls Records, hhead records, ilevel inc - House</p> <p>Tommy Gunns - St. Lewis, Ms. - Catalytic Souls Records, Irish Cream Ent. - Breaks &#38; House</p> <p>Seoul vs. T Linder - Detroit, Mi. - Detroit Techno Militia, Bangtech 12 - Electro, Techno, Turntablism</p> <p>Tony Desaro &#38; Drew Whiteted - Dayton, Oh. - KATE Artist Management - Progressive/Tech House</p> <p>Nostalgic - Dayton, Oh. - KATE Artist Management - House</p> <p>Todd Alan, A.K.A.

I am single now and don't have marriage in mind, but I totally support having the right to marry when that time comes. </p> <p>It's interesting talking to people who are voting Yes on 8. I ask them if they can speak about the proposition without religion. Most of them can't. That's where I try to explain to them the difference of religion and state. The School District, where I work, put out an article in the local paper basically denouncing the ads regarding school education and kids. So I still ask them why they are voting yes. Still no good answer. The other question I ask is how will it affect you and your personal life if I got married. Again, no answer. The basic response I get is, It's not right, it's not morally right. I say by who's standards - then they try to go back to the bible. Here we go again, STATE and CHURCH. I hope I made enough people think about their vote or at least question their reasoning. NO ON 8 is the only logical way to vote.<br /> Silver </p> http://www.gaycities.com/forums/topic/montreal-info-please#post-237 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 22:07:20 +0000 Kim50 237@http://www.gaycities.com/forums/ <p>Kim &#38; Steph - we have been together for over 11 years.

It is geting much better, but if you're raising a kid, that might not be the best place for you. </p> http://www.gaycities.com/forums/topic/lesbian-holidays-in-greece#post-229 Sun, 26 Oct 2008 08:03:50 +0000 Evesantalovaki 229@http://www.gaycities.com/forums/ <p>I would like to organize a cruise to Greece only for lesbians </p> http://www.gaycities.com/forums/topic/week-long-vacation-apartment-swap#post-228 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 06:34:38 +0000 johnjocks 228@http://www.gaycities.com/forums/ <p>Anyone interested in having a week long vacation in NYC by swapping apartment with us?</p> <p>We are a gay couple from New York who are considering relocating.

A great new hotel near the Arenal volcano. We didn´t know what to expect, but were happily surprised! We both work stressful jobs and needed a fun and relaxing getaway. They have a clothing optional pool that is kept comfortably warm and the cocktails were included in the rate and kept flowing all day long. The volcano erupted several times during the day which we could see from the pool and our rooms. We were able to see a little lava at night due to the rain 80( but we all had a good time. Anytime we needed anything the owners always helped us and were both very friendly. The only downside is that we only had 3 days there and can´t wait to go back. The rooms were clean and nicley done. I would highly reccommend this hotel.

In this city you will find a mix between the elegance of the Europe capitals and the spirit of South America . The city was founded by immigrants that came mostly in the XIX century from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, UK, etc. Visiting Buenos Aires, you will experience a sort of "deja vù" of Europe while you explore the grand boulevards, expansive parks, magnificent architecture, and ever-changing fashion of Argentina's beautiful capital.</p> <p>We encourage you to take a walk through neighborhoods like Recoleta, Palermo (Soho, Hollywood, Las Cañitas), and you'll be persuaded that you're in the Paris 16th District. Porteños, -as Buenos Aires citizens are called-, feel with a sort of pride being the most European of South American.</p> <p>Do not get confused by the architecture of the city, you are still in South America. It may appear in some areas to be a civilized city with an European scent, but you will soon notice porteño`s evident behavior. Specially in issues like the traffic (they drive like hell, I think that was inherited from Italians / Spaniards), the warm way they live their relationships with family and friends (Porteños boys give a kiss to greet other males -even straight guys-), the passionate way they speak using their hands to talk, the importance they gave to family and friends, and principally the social and political structure of this beautiful city.</p> <p>[NOTE FROM MODERATOR) Removed web links from post.</p> <p>Live! Feel! and Enjoy Buenos Aires City!!! </p> http://www.gaycities.com/forums/topic/facilitate-change#post-214 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 15:34:21 +0000 BNVC 214@http://www.gaycities.com/forums/ <p>Facilitating Change is a year-long social change program beginning in January 2009.

There will be 4 residential retreats held at Camp DeWolfe - not far from NYC. The dates for the retreats will be:</p> <p>January 14th-18th<br /> April 1st-5th<br /> August 19-23<br /> October 21st-25th</p> <p>Each retreat will begin at approximately 5 pm on Wednesday and end at 3 pm on Sunday.</p> <p>FINANCIAL INFORMATION:</p> <p>We have a commitment to inclusion in the FC program (and all resources in society), regardless of financial means. At the same time, we desire support and ease of support in offering this program, and a sense of shared partnership, contribution, and community. If you’d like to support yourself or others in joining the program at a contribution below the sliding scale requested, we ask you to consider joining our fundraising team. We would also welcome your contributing support in other ways; please contact us for details! In our desire to create a world of interdependence and mutual support, we ask you to consider inviting friends, family, faith and community organizations and/or your employer to financially support you in participating in the Facilitating Change program. We would also welcome your support in letting others know about the FC program.</p> <p>Sliding Scale<br /> The amount we request for taking part in the Facilitating Change Program is on a sliding scale of $4,500 -7,500 for the year, plus room and board, with a median of $6,000. Room and board will be approximately $70 per day, on site; camping or bedrolling may also be available at $40 per day. </p> <p>Group participation<br /> We have found that two or more people learning NVC together deepens the impact and integration of NVC in an organization; wanting to support this kind of learning, we encourage two or more people from an organization to register for the program together. To support several registering from one organization, we invite each person in the ‘group” to deduct $500 per person from the sliding scale. </p> <p>FACILITATED BY:<br /> Dian Killian, founder and director of Brooklyn Nonviolent Communication, and co-author of "Connecting across Differences: A Guide to Compassionate, Nonviolent Communication".</p> <p>Her writing has appeared in numerous publications including Diva, Curve Magazine, Sojourner, Lesbian Short Fiction, The Sun Magazine and The Harvard Gay and Lesbian Review.
