Are Adam4Adam.com Parties Right For You ?

The website that changed the way brothers meet each other has quickly become the Craigslist for anyone wishing to have a private play time with a few web buddies. But with the hundreds of postings being added weekly the question remains: Are the Parties Safe? , Can I Have a Great Time ? and Are Adam4Adam Parties Right for Me ? I will answer the questions in the easiest manner so that at the end of this article, you will be armed with the information that will help you make the best decision.

What is Adam4Adam ?

For those that are not familiar with the website, Adam4Adam is a web based chat system that allows people to send instant messages to other members in real time. They have hundreds of cities and thousands of profiles. Even smaller cities such as Raleigh can boast hundreds online nightly. But Adam4Adam has also become a vehicle for those looking to make some cash hosting parties and others that want to have the ultimate fantasy of a group session. Within every citiy, you can click on the parties link to view listings of people in your area that are posting ads with the hopes that you will come to what they have to offer.

Are the Parties Safe?

By all accounts yes. I have not known of anyone having any unsafe action happening as a result of a party posting. I have hosted many events under various promotions and can say that the majority of those that are posting are looking for a good time and are not trying to cause harm.

Can I Get Into the Party ?

Now this is where the glitter starts to come off of the gold. Adam4Adam has become one of the most negative websites for Big Men, Fems , Old white men and anyone that is not considered choice. You will find many parties that will specifically say that they are not looking for Fats or Fems or Whites. Others will be serotype for HIV + people. It is always best to read the invitation on the website carefully to make sure that you meet the requirements of the party because many promoters will turn you away at the door if you misrepresent yourself.

I had this same thing happen some time ago when I advertised for my Athletic Promotion and a guy came to the door that I couldn't tell if he even exercised. Not wanting to be mean, I let him enter, but those that were in attendance didn't engage him. The lesson here is to make sure that you are exactly what the party is asking for. Have a picture that you can send to the host and make sure current.

Are the Adam4Adam Parties Right for You ?

Yes. There is a party that caters to every type. Some are only looking for a few while others are trying to have half of the city in attendance and make the rent at the same time. Be sure that you know what the door fee is and have exact change. As a rule of thumb, I would suggest attending the events that charge. You will find that they are more professional and include amenities.

As the old adage goes, you do get what you are paying for. No one wants to drive to the location from out of town to find that the event was canceled. Make sure you show up if you RSVP. Trixx are for kids and your support of the party will guarantee that you will have another opportunity to play when the host throws another event.

$54 Hotel Rooms Atlanta Labor Day 2009 and More !

It’s the last major pride of the season. And on many accounts Atlanta’s Black Pride Celebration on Labor Day Weekend signals the end of the summer. I have personally taken a careless attitude to spending during the weekend since I had saved money throughout the year. But since the economy has reminded me that I need to become a better manager of my financial affairs, I will take some steps to have a great time while spending less.These tips have saved me money in the past and I am confident that you will also say the same.

The Buddy System

Sharing the cost with a friend can cut your expenses by 50%. If you have a few buddies that will be coming to the festivities, then you could see savings of more than 70% when you use your funds to split the cost of hotel and travel. These standard costs are the real drains of your pride budget. If you don’t know of anyone, this is the time to sharpen your social skills.
My mother taught me that you should always make a few buddies in other cities that are on a non sexual basis. Her thinking was that if you wanted a cheap vacation, they would be more than happy to have you. This wisdom has paid dividends for me. You may want to re-evaluate the chat request from the guy who you are not romantically interested in. He could be an ally in the future.

You can also post a message to a social network or chat site to find out if they would be interested in sharing expenses during the weekend. There are many brothers that would love to come. Be sure to let them know that there are no expectations otherwise. You will be able to enjoy the weekend, save money and become make a friend.

BYOB

Alcohol can add hundreds of dollars to your pride budget and when the drinks are flowing you may not even realize how much you are spending. In my experience, you pay more money at the bars and restaurants. Keeping this in mind before you start traveling will enable you to take some steps to ensure the drinks don’t stop flowing.

Atlanta has many discount packaged good stores. These places sell everything. And during the Labor Day Weekend, you will find lots of specials on popular drinks. Last year, there were cases of Bacardi Bottles for $10. I purchased 3 in the variety box and had more than enough alcohol for the entire weekend. I even gave the majority of it away because I had my fill.

You can also check around with others at your hotel to find out who would like to spilt a case of alcohol. I doubt you will find anyone that will refuse. By having a drink before you arrive to the club or dine, can save you more money than you would realize.

$54 Hotel Rate at the Fairfield Inn and Suites

This is no gimmick. The website KingSizeBrothaz.net negotiates a group rate for hotel rooms every year. The Fairfield Inn and Suites at the Perimeter Center includes breakfast, a pool, two telephone lines and more amenities than you are going to find anywhere in Atlanta for the rate. The $54 rate is for a room with two double beds. King Size Rooms are $59 per night. Did I forget to tell you that the MARTA Station is beside the hotel ? So you are only a train ride from all the action in the city.

The discount is open to anyone. Last year, the Perimeter Center became the hotspot for social connections due to the vast amount of people who decided to stay there. We suggest you call the hotel now to book your room. Visit the link to make a reservation – http://www.KingVasion.com/hotel.htm .

It Doesn’t Cost Much

A few simple tips and strategies can save you big money this Labor Day weekend. Remember there will be bills when you get back so make sure that you don’t break the bank but have a great time without having to pinch pennies.

Sotomayor A Major Win for Obama

It's about Damn Time ! Let me be the first to let my brothers know how good it feels to have a Latino on the road to the highest court. Clarence Thomas isn't Black so I am thrilled to have someone who represents common people on the court. Add to the fact that she is a woman and we have some major steps taken for women and minorities.

Unfortunately, for Republicans they are futher digging themselves into a whole. For the party that touts that we don't need affirmative action because people should look at a person's qualifications, they have not made any steps to include qualified minorities into the prospect pool. What does this message send ? That people of ethnic backgrounds aren't qualified or desired although everyone knows that isn't true.

I know you are about to mention Former Lt. Govenor Steele. I am from Maryland and I can tell you he can't count as diversity. The real fact is that he was placed on teh ticket because Kathleen Kenedy Townsend didn't put an African American on her historic run for Governor after she made it to the top dependent on African American support. So Robert Erlich did the progressive thing and looked for a brown face in order to split the vote and it worked ! Still it wasn't about qualifications but color. Now back to my point.

Future Justice Sotomayor is a very important affirmation for the Latino Community who have been demonized by the Republican Party and then falsely wooed during the election. My beef is that the Republicans talk about diversity and being inclusive but have very little to show for the talk. They could have elected her or some Republican female minority during Bush's term but didn't. So now they are starting to fight her nomination. And it's not a battle they are going to win.

The Republicans are about to go down a very slippery slope because the leading voices of dissent are Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh who are two of the most ethnically divise people on the planet. And having them be the loud voices of opposition will only hurt Republicans in states that they need votes. The old Republican party is dead and it's sad that those people who are the extreme are doing more harm than good.

By criticizing Sotomayor, the party will give her more support from the Latino Community and Women's Demographic which can all but guarantee a presidential election when combined with Obama's base of tech savvy young people and African Americans. So the best stance for the Republican Party is to shut up and focus on issues that will be key for them in the next round of elections: Job Creation and the Economy.
