new to this, just have a few questions about DW?

[Sumtinblue212]

My friends and I are coming up to Eureka for DW and we wondering if someone could kind of tell us what to expect. Are there a lot of women there or is it mostly guys? And where do people normally stay? And just anything else that would help us out would be appreciated!

Janet

Janet,
There is LOTS of everything and everyone. Most pride events I have been to are mostly Gay Bois. Not ES on DW. There is this a huge mix of GLBT, Families of GLBT and NON GLBT Supporters. 8)
The FUN is everywhere. Check out the sponsors on this site for lodging. Check out the thread time to get a room
Be sure and come to the Outdoor Fest and introduce yourselves to Sparky and if you have a cute brother drag him along too
WOOFwoofWoof

Hi Janet,

with this bunch of people you never know what to expect! :roll: :wink:
One thing for sure it will be fun!
There will be a LOT of women, probably not quite as many guys : and
one cute little pup in pink tights (HI Sparky) :wink

We have a great mix of people (all coming for DW fun) staying right here with us at Sherwood Court.
If you want to join us we had a cancellation for one of our cottages
(Courtyard Cottage, non-smoking, $ 89 per night) and we would love to have you stay with us. Call 1-800-268-6052 or email stay@sherwoodcourt.

We are kicking off the festivities with a Meet&Greet on our back deck
on Friday April 1st, 3 pm. Great opporunity to meet everybody and make new friends.

We would love for you to join us.

Hey Janet. Check out the 'events' at the top of the page. there is stuff going on all over town.

I personally will be going to the outdoor festival.....cause my other half if part of the show!!

WOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It really depends on what you like to do. There is something for everyone.

Are you all partiers, dancers, prefer quiet times....?????

give us some hints and i'm sure the board will help you out.

[chilehead]

Hey Janet....
If you haven't booked yet....... there are some great ones available still.

if you have 2--try the Tiki Room at Tradewinds

if you have 4, try the ..dang it...can't remember--maybe Victorian--at Tradewinds....

if you have 6, look at the "Its Time ya'll! Get a room" topic...there is a whole house at 66 Center Street..

(if you want a little more quiet, romantic room---look at Pond Mountain)

these are all I've seen.....but I'm sure ANY room from the sponsors is great!!!!!

[Katie]

Hey, Janet - welcome!!!

As the others have mentioned, there is alot to do, just depends on what you're in the mood for (Oh, did I say that out loud?)

The outdoor festival is the first one for DW in ES, so it will be so interesting!!!!

Lots of food, fun and alcohol!!! LOTS of people. Drag show, Kind show and of course dancing and Karaoke with DJ Tic!

There is a shuttle bus that will be running so, no one has to drink and Drive - and we'll kick you're butt alittle if you do!

CJ Sprots is out towards the Beaver Damn and there will be signs pointing the way.

I would strongly suggest you go to Sherwood Court and
1. Book a room
2. Attend the meet and Greet on Friday at 3:00
3. Don't be shy - we are all crazy, but harmless
4. HAVE A BLAST!!!!

GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON THE BOARD!!!

[angela]

:D We ditto the welcome. This is our second DW but everyone's first outdoor festival. Katie, you know I have to ask-what is a kind show? You know I had to pick on you, I am sorry.
Angela and Lisa

[Katie]

Angelis, it's ok, never did learn how to type! I even got a new keyboard and it's not doing any better than the last one!

[angela]

:D I mess up sometimes too. I took classes in high school and the teacher always told me that I watched my hands too much. When I am typing something at school now the kids all freak out because of how fast I type.
Angela and Lisa

[Katie]

The only time I learned how to type was when I traded stocks for a brokerage firm and everything was done in 3 letter symbols! And I had to watch my hands....one little screw up meant a whole lotta money!

Hey, you figured out how to do the picture!!!

[angela]

:D Yes, I did-I would like to find a site that I could go to to find a different one though.
Angela and Lisa

[Katie]

Me too, but I am just not that smart yet.

[madeinbavaria]

But why, Katie? Your picture looks just like you. Cute as a button.

How 'bout your picture, Angelisa??? Any resemblance?? :twisted: :twisted: :wink:

Renate

[angela]

:D Sure you are.
Angela and Lisa

[chilehead]

Katie......that looks just like you.....

and Angela---I think a 'small' cuddly bear fits you great!!!

If you find a picture you wanna use....get it onto your computer..(I would put it on my desktop)...they go back to profile and 'browse' for it.....

[Katie]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, Shucks! I never knewed I was so cute!!!

Ok, Darcy - Find a picture and move it to my desk top - HOW? And then do What????

Well, I'll leave it to the EXPERT!!!

I'm not real good at 'splainin' things........

[smiling arky]

Hi Janet, you guys are going to love DW. My friends and I come up from Central Ark twice a year. There are alot of women there . We are staying at the Swiss Inn this year. First time to stay there, hope it's good. Just about any place on Hwy 62 (Van Buren)will be convenient to everything. The outdoor events should be fun this year. There is a great all girl band that plays at Chelsy's downtown. Don't miss them. If weather is good , look for us on our bikes. We have some single ladies in our group, how about you guys? Look forward to seeing you there. Darlene from Benton, Ar.

[angela]

:D Darci I know how to do that. I just don't have anything I want to put on there. You did great explaining that to me-I understood. Nice to meet you Darlene.
Angela and Lisa

[chilehead]

Hope to meet you!!

Hi Lex,

I read a great review about the Tiki Torch Club and they are one of the Sponsors of this board :D

http://www.geekfest.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/008772.html

I can not wait to dine at the Tiki Torch YUM YUM YUM

WOOFwoofWoof
Sparky

P.S. I always tell these folks I read about them on this BOARD they love hearing it!!!!

[chilehead]

Hey Sparky.....
thanks for the review. Hadn't really seen anything about them yet??

I'm sure we will check out EVERYTHING....

WE ALL are so excitied........its out GET AWAY from it ALL TRIP!!!


OH MY OH MY OH MY!!!!!!!!!!

I HIT 500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angela]

:D Lex-Lisa and I will be staying at Candlestick as well! We've never stayed there, but Dawn recommended them. We like to try and stay at different places to see which ones we like best. When we made these reservations, it was because we thought we could walk to the clubs because we don't drink and drive. Then, the Outdoor festival was born, but that's ok because we will be able to catch the shuttle. We haven't eaten at very many places, but we love Devito's for lasagna, Main St Cafe for omelets, and there is another cafe but the name is just on the tip of my tongue. Well anyway, can't wait to meet you all.
