It’s going to feel like Seattle in the Desert at the West Coast Love Train event at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, CA this coming weekend, Nov 4-7 with appearances by Seattle’s own L.A. Kendall, Honeysuckle Hype, Vintage Youth, and DJ Mathematix. Also, tons of Seattle-arians have been known to descend on P.S. for this 4 day music/film/performance art event that also includes the Palm Springs Gay Pride Parade on Sunday, November 7. If I had the Andrew Jacksons, I’d be going to this, just for some sunshine on my leathery old shoulders…

We’re having a big party with all our friends from up and down the West Coast called West Coast Love Train. If you’re not sure if you’ll belong, you will. It’s going to be kind of nuts. In the Swim Club and Commune we’ve got live music, DJs, drag shows, a shot girl on rollerskates and pool parties. What goes on in your room is up to you.
To celebrate we’ve got a really great package for you. Double occupancy rooms start at $229 a night, and using code ‘Love Train’ when you book gets you other special discounts and treats. Call us at 760.325.9900 to book.
