All Worlds Resorts<br />
Easily the premier gay resort in the Palm<br />
Springs area, and it draws crowds accordingly.<br />
The hotel is situated at the gateway<br />
<strong>to</strong> the “cruisy” Warm Sands neighborhood.<br />
With the acquisition of the former<br />
Inn Exile across the street now called All<br />
World’s Annex, increased the property size<br />
<strong>to</strong> nearly three and a half acres giving the<br />
resort that much more space <strong>to</strong> cruise and<br />
meet fun guys, since overnight guests get<br />
access <strong>to</strong> both areas.<br />
The 69 room hotel has six sparkling pools<br />
and three hot tubs, community showers<br />
and video social lounges are only the<br />
beginning of what make up the mega All<br />
Worlds Resorts that includes The Maze,<br />
currently closed for extensive renovations,<br />
will be “reopening soon,” and will run<br />
from 9pm <strong>to</strong> 5am Fridays and Saturdays<br />
and Sundays from 3pm <strong>to</strong> 11pm…<br />
All World’s Sunday BBQ pool party with<br />
live DJ music attracts up <strong>to</strong> a few hundred<br />
“Day Pass” visi<strong>to</strong>rs every week. And when<br />
the sun sets, All World’s comes alive with<br />
guys looking for alternatives <strong>to</strong> the “bar<br />
scene”.<br />
Scott Swenson, General Manager of All<br />
Worlds has always had the philosophy<br />
of focusing on superior cus<strong>to</strong>mer care.<br />
Feeling that this philosophy is particular<br />
important in Palm Springs because of the<br />
many choices that one has. “I feel that if<br />
the locals discover All Worlds they will be<br />
sure <strong>to</strong> recommend us <strong>to</strong> their friends as a<br />
place <strong>to</strong> stay when visiting the desert”.<br />
So come on by and discover what all the<br />
“buzz” is about at the largest gay resort in<br />
Palm Springs!<br />
Day passes are now available for $20 Monday<br />
through Friday and $25 on weekends;<br />
night passes are $20 Monday through<br />
Thursday, $25 Friday through Sunday.<br />
Towels and locks are $5. 760-323-7505<br />

These fireworks are over on the Las Vegas Strip, and<br />
the eight-minute show launched from seven casino<br />
roof<strong>to</strong>ps <strong>to</strong> welcome <strong>2018</strong> was spectacular.<br />
More than 300,000 visi<strong>to</strong>rs congregated on the Las<br />
Vegas Strip <strong>to</strong> celebrate, and the festivities were<br />
mostly jubilant and safe. Emergency management<br />
officials labeled the evening as “very quiet.”<br />

STEPHEN BAUMBACH<br />
ECLECTIC PHOTOGRAPHER<br />
We visited Stephen Baumbach in his<br />
studio at the Back Street Galleries<br />
during a First Wednesday Art Walk a<br />
few weeks ago. Stephen has been interested<br />
in and creating pho<strong>to</strong>s since he<br />
was in high school. For the past 40 plus<br />
years he has pursued his interest and<br />
talent for pho<strong>to</strong>graphy. He has worked<br />
in a variety of pho<strong>to</strong>graphy venues from<br />
portrait pho<strong>to</strong>graphy <strong>to</strong> real estate pho<strong>to</strong>graphy<br />
which has provided him the<br />
commercial success <strong>to</strong> earn his living.<br />
His work in these categories has been<br />
recognized in magazine covers from<br />
New England Distinctive Homes and<br />
has received complimentary reviews for<br />
his portrait pho<strong>to</strong>graphy. Some of the<br />
people he pho<strong>to</strong>graphed came <strong>to</strong> the<br />
East Coast for the purpose of having<br />
him create their portrait.<br />
Stephen moved <strong>to</strong> the desert in 2014<br />
where he has been pho<strong>to</strong>graphing the<br />
desert around us in ways that cause you<br />
<strong>to</strong> see the desert with a different clarity.<br />
He takes pho<strong>to</strong>s in wind and sand<br />
s<strong>to</strong>rms, in sunsets where you see the<br />
desert in a unique manner based on his<br />
angles and lighting.<br />
In his studio he continues <strong>to</strong> experiment<br />
with time lapse pho<strong>to</strong>graphy from<br />
liquids splashing <strong>to</strong> figures moving in<br />
time. He is eclectic in his interests and<br />
has created work, all of which is visually<br />
stimulating, and scientifically curious<br />
in content and pho<strong>to</strong>graphic creativity.<br />
You may view his work in his studio at<br />
the Back Street Gallery and at his web<br />
site Stephen Baumback Pho<strong>to</strong>graphy.<br />

“Sing With Us”<br />
Palm Springs <strong>Gay</strong> Men’s<br />
Chorus<br />
To Hold Auditions<br />
Mid-year through its 19th Season, The<br />
Palm Springs <strong>Gay</strong> Men’s Chorus (PSGMC)<br />
will be holding open call auditions Tuesday,<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary 9, <strong>2018</strong> at 7:00p.m. at Mizell Senior<br />
Center, 480 South Sunrise Way in Palm<br />
Springs. This special evening of camaraderie<br />
will also be an opportunity <strong>to</strong> volunteer<br />
and get involved with one of the chorus’<br />
many committees. Interested singers can<br />
also attend open rehearsals on Tuesdays,<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary 16 and 23 at 7:00p.m. <strong>to</strong> get a feel<br />
of what it’s like <strong>to</strong> perform with the chorus<br />
and meet the members.<br />
“In our continued effort <strong>to</strong> “Build a Chorus<br />
Like No Other,” the PSGMC is always<br />
committed <strong>to</strong> a high standard of excellence<br />
in our performances. For this audition, we<br />
will not only be recruiting singers for the<br />
main chorus, but also for our small ensemble<br />
group “The Arrangement.” It is an easy<br />
and painless process with the main aspect<br />
of the audition is that a singer is required <strong>to</strong><br />
match pitch,” said Douglas Wilson, Artistic<br />
Direc<strong>to</strong>r, PSGMC.<br />
The mission of the PSGMC is <strong>to</strong> be a<br />
chorus of gay men, who through musical<br />
excellence, community outreach, and civic<br />
responsibility, are dedicated <strong>to</strong> entertaining,<br />
inspiring, and educating the culturally<br />
diverse community in which we live.<br />
For more information on meeting the<br />
requirements and an application form, visit<br />
https://psgmc.com/auditions/. For a variety<br />
of ways <strong>to</strong> support the Palm Springs <strong>Gay</strong><br />
Men’s Chorus, visit www.PSGMC.com<br />
The “Sing With Us” campaign stems from<br />
the chorus’ tight knit group of men who are<br />
passionate about performing and entertaining<br />
at civic and private events throughout<br />
the cities of the Coachella Valley.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Well the New Year has arrived. The <strong>Desert</strong><br />
is fresh and crisp and as 2017 ended so <strong>2018</strong><br />
began, Tweets.<br />
Well the rest of us can think, easily, of a hundred<br />
things the President of the United States<br />
could do on the first day of the new year, the<br />
Tweeter-in-Chief spent the day attacking the<br />
governments of Pakistan and Iran, the former<br />
head of the FBI, former President Obama,<br />
and a former aide <strong>to</strong> Hillary Clin<strong>to</strong>n. My oh<br />
my, his index fingers must be tired and in<br />
need of a massage.<br />
He says he wants <strong>to</strong> do a bipartisan infrastructure<br />
bill but I have yet <strong>to</strong> see him try <strong>to</strong><br />
even speak nice of a Democrat. Even Sen. Joe<br />
Manchin of West Virginia, probably the most<br />
likely Dem <strong>to</strong> support an initiative of the<br />
President, has come under attack on social<br />
media from Mr. Trump. Is there any question<br />
left in ANYONE’S mind that is man is not<br />
suited <strong>to</strong> be President and is probably in some<br />
stage of mental deterioration?<br />
<strong>to</strong> Southern CA as it relates <strong>to</strong> the ports and<br />
good movement. He will be missed.<br />
Locally, we should see financial reports on<br />
various candidates for US House, CA Assembly<br />
and Senate, and by the end of the month<br />
candidates for city Council races throughout<br />
the valley and County Supervisor. Look for<br />
House candidate Dan Ball (R) and State Senate<br />
candidate Joy Silver (D) <strong>to</strong> surprise folks.<br />
It looks like there may also be a new candidate<br />
for Governor! So far focus has been on<br />
Gavin Newsom, John Chiang, An<strong>to</strong>nio Villaraigosa<br />
and Delaine Eastin. Now it appears<br />
that Congresswoman Jackie Speier may be<br />
jumping in. She has $1.5 million in the bank<br />
from her House campaign Committee that<br />
could be transferred over so she can start the<br />
campaign running. StatenDems are meeting<br />
in San Diego Feb 23-25. Should be an interesting<br />
convention.<br />
Are you voting in <strong>2018</strong>? Have you begun <strong>to</strong><br />
focus on that election? The primary is only 6<br />
months away! I’d be interested <strong>to</strong> know who<br />
have chose or are leaning <strong>to</strong> and why. Send<br />
your comments <strong>to</strong> me at<br />
Orin Hatch, Republican Sena<strong>to</strong>r from Utah<br />
has announced his retirement after 20 +<br />
years. I won’t miss him much, but he has been<br />
fairly good on education and some HIV votes.<br />
More troubling, <strong>to</strong> me, was the announcement<br />
greg@gregpettis.com<br />
that Congressman Bill Schuster (R-PA) 2017 showed a tremendous amount of orga-<br />
is stepping down. He has served 18 years and nization and discipline in the opposition <strong>to</strong><br />
has been Chairman of the House Transportation<br />
President Trump. We must continue <strong>to</strong> do<br />
and Infrastructure Committee. I’ve had the same and even louder. The ineptitude<br />
the privilege of working with the Congressman<br />
and moral depravity is beyond the pale and<br />
and his office on Transportation issues. certainly does nothing for our country.<br />
He is smart, thorough in his analysis of the<br />
issue and willing <strong>to</strong> work across the aisle on That’s all for this week. Keep RESISTING!!!<br />
T&I concerns. He has been especially helpful<br />
