REVIEW OF PALM SPRINGS LEATHER PRIDE 2000
By Papa Tony
I was very proud to be a San Diegan this last weekend, because there
were a lot of us in Palm Springs, celebrating with the folks from all
over Southern California. It was the largest out-of-town gathering of
San Diegans in a long time, and it was nice to see everybody there,
being so nice to each other.
The events were well-attended, and the Warm Sands Villas was actually
pretty darned nice as a location. The events at the Tool Shed were
JAMMED, and my, weren't the men flirtatious!
I was very impressed with Dale Breunig and his crack team of
volunteers, because they delivered a very enjoyable weekend. The
Formal Leather Dinner was AWESOME, gathering folks from Avatar, PSLOD
and San Diego, and nearly ALL of us were wearing dark blue uniforms -
Avatar and PSLOD use dark blue uniform shirts for their club colors,
and I just wandered in wearing the current fashion without knowing
beforehand...
Tracy Deroche is the new Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2001, and he
strikes me as a motivated, inspirational leader. Palm Springs'
leather community has been growing in pride and effectiveness ever
since Dale became the main mover-and-shaker, and Tracy joins a great
team of hard-working folks who are making a difference!
I didn't take any pictures this weekend, so I will post the links
here as soon as a few other folks post theirs...
