Palm Springs:
I found PS to be very… old, despite knowing that many gay pornos have been filmed there. At least I’ve heard that many have been filmed there… Actually that’s probably why they’re filmed there – lots of venture capital.
Palm Springs use to be the star’s decompression chamber from L.A. Bob Hope, Lucille Ball and Sinatra had houses there, raising the property values greatly and creating some of the best 50’s desert modern architecture (even the slummy part of town was clean). But the average age seemed to be well over 55. The bars weren’t filled with the “best” looking specimens, but to be fair, we were there Monday/Tuesday – slow days. The city seem to close up after 6pm, except for the $25/entree restaurants. I could see how our friend, the Mailman, who has the hots for older bear daddies, was in heaven when ever he visited. Our last night there we met a great couple in the hot tub at our resort and chatted for a couple hours.
We did very little in PS. Sort of like we were decompressing from Vegas. And getting ready for the worrisome drive into Anaheim. I’ve heard stories of gun battles on the freeways of L.A.
