Pre-Market Days Cruise Photos Posted!

Hello to all our tan Summer fun Cocktail Club boys!!

Once again, the annual BGCC Cocktail Cruise was a smashing success!!

The crew of Kanan Cruises really gave us a summer treat! The food was amazing (I saw you boys chowing down, carbs, carbs, carbs) and the drinks flowed throughout the boat. With 3 levels and 2 outside decks, there were boys EVERYWHERE!

The photos have been collected and posted to our Shutterfly site, take a look and see just how hot you looked on that fabulous summer eve.

Your hosts are off for the rest of the summer, but look for us to return in the Fall for what will truly be the most FABULOUS SEASON 10!!

We hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Market Days!

See you in the Fall!

XOXO,
Your BGCC Hosts

"Pride in the City" Happy Hour Photos

Happy Pride to all our fabulous cocktail club members!
Thank you for making our Big Gay "Pride in the City" Happy Hour and Season 9 Finale a HUGE success.

The Drake was the perfect location for our finale. The staff was impeccable and treated us to a night of amazing food (love those cheese platters) and fabulous drinks! The Palm Court never looked so Fabulous as it did with all our hot BGCC members.

With your help we raised about $4300 for Chicago House which will go a long way towards helping them complete their new apartment building and their factory for Sweet Miss Giving's Bakery! YUMMY!

It's always sad to see another season come and go, but don't cry my pretties. Check back soon for details on our Summer Reunion Cocktail Party and a few hints about our Season 10 schedule. We promise it will be splash!!

Until then, have a safe and hot summer and don't forget to check out all our photos at Shutterfly.com!!
