Just Hangin' Around

Tuesday 25 August 1998

One of the nicest things about a Gathering is the ability to just hang around and do nothing! Well, nothing productive, anyway. Hang around the swimming pool. Hang out at the lake and paddle a canoe. Walk a bit. Chat with friends -- doesn't matter if they're deaf because there's always someone around to interpret if need be.

Don't miss the beautiful lake.

Wouldn't this be great to do with your boyfriend?

The cool breeze, the nude scenery...

Even if you tip over, you don't have to worry about getting your clothes wet.

And if that's too boring, you can always try to convert one of the heterosexual lifeguards. This is frowned upon -- hey, if you're ignoring 800 naked gay men and going for the unavailable instead, there must be something wrong that you can discuss with your therapist, OK? -- but it's OK to look discreetly. This one is wearing pants and underpants. Ugh. How ugh-ly!

By the way, he's getting the wrestling mat ready for the nude wrestling match.

See what I mean? Doncha think you could find at least one guy from this bunch to go after?
Trust me -- you can.

Here's a real smart fellow from the south who likes bears (on the left) and a bear he made friends with (on the right).

The bear is deaf. The fan of bears was pretty good at sign language. An interpreter is provided at the Gathering for the hard of hearing.

This is Ron -- wonderful, shameless, always active Ron. Everybody at a Gathering meets Ron, and that's a good thing because Ron is a sweetie-pie. He's from Florida.
