insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from
$44.00 to $173.00

your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just spent
$173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

Memorial Day Weekend, May 23-26.  We kick it off with Volleyball in the Dance Club on Friday (a non-competitive, two-person team, single-elimination format).  Saturday is the first full day poolside, and you're allowed to veg away that seasonal depression (of course, while you're vegging, don't forget to check out the hotties and don't forget to join Jayson for Pool Games).  Saturday evening, it's a Blackout Party and Palest Body Contest (to celebrate the start of summer).  Sunday, we are delighted and proud to announce the return of world-traveling drag performer Sherry Vine.  Her show is all-live and all-new.  Did we mention?  THE POOL IS OPEN!
 
Extreme Weekend, May 30-June 1, rounds out the month.  Our whitewater rafting experiment last fall was so enjoyable, that we're doing another road trip.  But first, on Friday evening, ComedyCentral diva and self-proclaimed high priestess of all things fashionable and trendy Sherry Davey returns.  Saturday morning, after an early breakfast, we car caravan to nearby Dorney Amusement and Water Park in Allentown, PA.
 
June 6-8:  Men's Weekend with NYC gay comic Shawn Hollenbach on Friday and Adult Film Newcomer Jonathan Vargas on Saturday.  Hospitality Suite/Hot Tub/Sauna, 24/7.
June 13-15:  Track and Field Weekend.  We divide you into teams at check-in for a weekend full of healthy, semi-competitive competition (timed swimming in the pool would be competitive; inner tube races, not so competitive).  Camp fire on Friday night, Wet T's and Undies Contest on Saturday, towel-snapping all weekend.
June 20-22:  Summer Customer Appreciation Weekend.  Warm weather, pool's open, discount rates.  Could it get any better?  Well, yes!  Add tickets to nearby Shawnee Playhouse's production of Fame on Friday and a Balloon Drop in the nightclub on Saturday.
June 27-29:  Miss Heaven Leigh's Annual Birthday Weekend featuring her birthday drag show, "Barely Tales" - your favorite childhood heroines as you've NEVER seen them.  Nobody puts on a show like Heaven  Last weekend before the summer rates kick in.
July 3-6:  July Fourth Weekend.  Poolside Karaoke on Thursday, Mind Gaymes with Bob Lawson (America's only gay mind reading show) on Friday, and a Steamroom Party (think hot boys and girls in towels) and Best Abs Contest on Saturday.
July 11-13:  Be An Adult Film Star (or just party with one) Weekend.  BuffStuff Video returns to shoot an all-male adult film on property, and you're welcome on the set!  And the boys will be dancing in the nightclub on Friday and Saturday.     
July 18-20:  NYC gay comic and ukulele-player Ben Lerman on Friday, Full Moon Party and Best Buns Contest on Saturday.
July 25-27:  Pittsburgh's premiere drag performer Kierra Darshall on Friday, Christmas in July with Giveaways on Saturday.

Research Study for Gay, Bisexual, and Questioning Men

Dear Participant,
I am a gay researcher conducting an empirical study examining attitudes,
feelings, and experiences associated with being a gay, bisexual, or
questioning man. If you are a man who is at least 18 years old and has
experienced same-sex attraction, I would greatly appreciate your
participation in this study. The survey is anonymous, and takes about 35
minutes to complete. As an incentive to participate, all participants will
be given the chance to enter a participant raffle awarding $100 each to
three randomly selected participants. For those interested in
participating in this study, click on the following hypertext link (or cut
and paste it into your browser).http://d993.psysurvey.com This will take
you to the consent form and questionnaire.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail announcement to eligible
friends/colleagues and other gay/bisexual related listserves. Thanks in
advance for your help with this project!
Sincerely,
Dawn
