Love your analysis of CG vs Pines...we went to the Pines a few times and yes, hate it, unless you are invited into one of those fabulous homes and stay there the whole time. But as a community CG is wonderful, completely diverse and relaxed, I remember dancing in a bar with people of literally every age group, race, gender, sexual orientation and body type you can imagine. No attitude! Then you walk to the Pines and it's like some totalitarian hell where everyone must spend 35 hours a week in the gym sculpting their bodies into ripped, hairless carbon copies of each other or they will be shot...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178799195729667985.post-7325009145186346112008-06-26T20:46:00.000-04:002008-06-26T20:46:00.000-04:00I've never been to Fire Island but I have friends ...I've never been to Fire Island but I have friends who have been and have told me about house rules, etc. It sounds interesting but I'm not sure I would fit in.<BR/><BR/>I've watched the documentary three times mainly because I'm a history freak and I love listening to people telling their stories. The whole story about the first big party on the beach is fascinating. And to think it was a fundraiser for a fire truck.Timmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09731636833824369869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178799195729667985.post-44218669255798472862008-06-26T20:41:00.000-04:002008-06-26T20:41:00.000-04:00Things have changed so much from the 70's that if ...Things have changed so much from the 70's that if you missed out on it then (like I did) then that's it. Too late now.<BR/><BR/>I've heard about Fire Island but didn't know about the big difference in neighborhoods. The Pines reminds me of The Great Gatsby in some ways.

Although I've never been to Fire Guyland, I have seen the doc on Logo, which I found to be a bit sad, since they all pretty much say 'Its no where near as fun as it was in the 70s'. That is, the ones who aren't dead from AIDS were saying that. I found the doc rather depressing.<BR/><BR/>Mark :-)Mark in DEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478832787656152843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178799195729667985.post-15621509430751207622008-06-26T13:50:00.000-04:002008-06-26T13:50:00.000-04:00When I lived in NYC, I never made it out to Fire I...When I lived in NYC, I never made it out to Fire Island, although I knew plenty who did. Their stories assured me it was not someplace I needed to be. I will say, they mostly went to Cherry Grove, for I knew po' queens. But I figured I could just as easily be ignored wherever I was without paying big rent to be ignored by the same men I would see in the Village!<BR/><BR/>I will say, like Beth, I have never been to an orgy, although there are other events that have me know red-faced just thinking about them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690597078607161109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178799195729667985.post-30901422837353002052008-06-26T13:45:00.000-04:002008-06-26T13:45:00.000-04:00The country boys look for rest stops which year by...The country boys look for rest stops which year by year get closed down and phased out. Some of them have been pretty wild and as risky as your Brambles. But rest stops are very accessible to police vehicles. I was in my car eating real food from a nearby take out when they raided one night. Thank God I wasn't out there- spot lights, search lights, pa systems, queens scrambling everywhere, and arrests being made by the score. I decided that wasn't probably a wise recreation choice for me, a teacher. Straights had a legitimate complaint though when gays just took over these spots even during the daytime and families couldn't have their kids there in public places. Most gays agreed but there are a lot of skanks out there.Berry Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079390231632421561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178799195729667985.post-90551889362053668862008-06-26T13:17:00.000-04:002008-06-26T13:17:00.000-04:00ya...?
