There’s something about spending an evening at an Underbear party – hot tubbing at midnight, frolicking until morning, hanging out at a pool party, frolicking in the evening, dancing until 4:00 a.m., frolicking until morning again, hanging out at another pool party and frolicking one last time – that makes Monday morning seem like the worst corner of hell!

Anyone who could walk, sit, talk or swallow at the end of Lazy Bear Palm Springs didn’t take full advantage of the weekend. Either that or they had a really boring lover/partner/boyfriend that they should have left at home.

San Diego was definitely in the house – or, should I say, in the desert. It’s a bit odd to travel 200 or so miles to meet men from home that you never see out. Some of these homeboys were hot and they put out! We love that in new friends! Let’s hope the putting out continues now that we are all back in S.D. Isn’t friendship a beautiful thing? For those at home who didn’t get their friendship consummated, don’t worry. There’s still time.

Speaking of time, the holidays are upon us and it’s time to shop! Hey, does anyone else wonder why the biggest shopping day of the year is called Black Friday? Maybe we could do our own version of a Black Friday party and wear nothing but black jock straps in a pitch black room. Something to think about for next year, eh?

Back to shopping. Last year, I did a shopping list of some of my favorite things from some of my favorite places. This year I want you to write me and tell me what you want to be given and where to get it. Send your gift request to inthepitsd@aol.com. Maybe the giver will get the hint and give it to you.

Of course, there’s always The Crypt and Pleasures & Treasures adult boutique. Don’t cha just love it when places call themselves a “boutique”? Makes it sound like your grandma will be shopping there. Who knows? Maybe she will. Actually, I know at least one grandma who might be. Did you know that Pleasures & Treasures rents slings? Just thought I’d throw that in there.

While you’re trying one on for size, be sure to browse the works of Michael McKeon. You can meet him in person on Sunday, Dec. 17, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. during his reception. Oils and photography both show his talents and will be on display from Dec. 15 until Jan. 15. There are so many talented artists in this area, and it’s great P&T gives them a safe place to showcase where they won’t be judged by A-Gays who deem nudes inappropriate or offensive! Personally, I find A-Gays offensive, and I much prefer being on the F-List! The “F” stands for fun, so get my mind out of the gutter.

Now that we’re talking fun, L.L. Bear kicked ass last month! I’m telling you, asses were getting kicked all over the dance floor. There was some serious sexy vibe goin’ on in that house. I’m not one to talk, but when the fog filled the entire room, let’s just say you had to get really close to the man you were dancing with. Really close! Up close and personal! Really personal! I believe there were a lot of new friends made that night. Ya gotta have friends.

Let’s hope we all make new friends on Dec. 16 as we celebrate my 40-something birthday. Actually, I’ll be 46, which means late 40s, I’ve been told. To my delight (did I really use the word “delight”?), I’ve met some really hot 40- and 50-somethings, lately. I’ve also been told that 50 is the new 35, so I can put 35 years old on my BigMuscle profile. Anyhow, the party is Dec. 16 at Rich’s. It begins at 7:00 p.m. and goes until 9:00 p.m. L.L. Bear is after that, and the party charge of $15 covers L.L. Bear also. The whole thing benefits Being Alive and the Tom of Finland Foundation, and there’s gonna be lots of giveaways and stuff, including a raffle for a video iPod, thanks to Bigmuscle.com. There will even be computers to create a BigMuscle profile if you don’t have one. Everyone is invited, even if we’re not friends yet. Hopefully by the night’s end we’ll all be friends, one way or another.

I’ll see ya there, and don’t forget to send your gift wishes to inthepitsd@aol.com.
