Men at Sea Photos!

What a FABULOUS opening for our NINTH Big Gay Season! Mother nature provided a little opening drama, all the hosts got lei'd and everyone contributed to the WAVES of enthusiasm for our conclusion of Summer event.

The skyline was the backdrop for our beautiful Spirit of Chicago cruise. From what we saw, there was a lot more cruising going on once everyone got one of the huge martini specials! Click to see the photos over on Shutterfly.

A quick mention about photos... With the new format for the site, we are doing photos a little differently, too. Instead of posting the thumbnail spread, we will be putting all of the pictures on Shutterfly with a link from here. The new format will be easier to navigate with your choice of slideshow or thumbnails. Since we often get requests for the photos we take, we set it up so that you (or anyone) can order prints of yourself, your friends, or the new friends you made. No, we aren't getting a cut of anything, we just hope you like it!

Hello boys!

We hope everyone has had as fabulous of a summer as we have had! From Movies in the Park, Market Days, days at the beach, and Pride ... its been a great summer and has slipped away fast!

Season 9 is full of new surprises! For the first time in our history, we're not pre-announcing the dates of our events.

This season's events will be extra special and ones that you won't want to miss! We'll announce full details as soon as the venues are booked and the contracts are penned so that you can get them on your calendar ASAP.
