Palm Springs Pride: The Desert is Heating Up šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆšŸŒ“

If The Santiago is not on your bucket listā€¦

Donā€™t break out those Fall sweaters just yet: Palm Springs Pride is just around the corner!

Taking place the last weekend in October, this year's festival kicks off with a bang, featuring rock band Neon Trees headlining on Halloween night. Mark your calendars for the parade on November 3 at 10am, transforming Palm Canyon Drive into a river of rainbows.

Palm Springs has long been a haven for the community, boasting one of the highest concentrations of same-sex couples in the U.S.

The city's Warm Sands neighborhood is particularly known for its gay resorts and clothing-optional pools, while Arenas Road in downtown is the go-to spot for gay nightlife.

Things to See and Do:

Where to Eat: Fuel up for Pride festivities at Trio Restaurant, a gay-owned hotspot serving American fare with a twist. For a special night out, try Workshop Kitchen + Bar, known for its farm-to-table menu and craft cocktails.

Where to Stay: For a quintessential Palm Springs experience, book a room at the clothing-optional Santiago Resort (men only). Rates start around $249/night during Pride. For a more inclusive option, try the Ace Hotel & Swim Club, with its hip desert vibe and rates from $299/night.

Getting there: Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is just 2 miles from downtown. Alternatively, fly into Los Angeles (LAX) and rent a car for the 2-hour drive.

Book soon: Palm Springs Pride is a popular event, and places fill up fast!

These husbands went from broke to financially successful. Now they want to help you.

John Schneider and David Auten both worked in finance for nearly 15 years, but they realized their ā€œfabulousā€ lifestyle was leading them to a future where theyā€™d never own a home or have any retirement savings.

And when they realized that almost no financial firms or advisors geared their messages towards LGBTQ+ people, they set out to change that.

Ease into investing

ā€œEaseā€ being the key word. With automated tools like portfolio rebalancing and dividend reinvestment, Betterment makes investing easy for you, and a total grind for your money.

Q&A Time:

Pray for the Grindr servers in California today, which are working overtime for Folsom. In case you missed it last week, here are our 10 facts about Folsom you should know.

Thatā€™s when we asked, have you been to Folsom? Here are the results:

If youā€™re on the fence ā€” everyone whoā€™s been, loved it (at least according to our poll)! Itā€™s an event like no other that should be experienced at least onceā€¦

  • ā€œItā€™s a must do at least once. Itā€™s exhilarating to see so many hot bodies in leather or whatever coming together for the largest street party ever. Definitely adults only.ā€

  • ā€œI had made plans to go. It was 2020. We know how that turned out.ā€

  • ā€œI saw a television documentary on it and would like to witness in person.ā€

  • ā€œLoved it but prefer Dore Alley!ā€

This week: When youā€™re working remotely, are you obligated to tell your employer where youā€™re at?

Which got us wondering ā€” do you have a job that allows you to work from anywhere?
