We’re in the process of planning a possible trip to In the Life ATL this summer for a second time. We had a great time last year and put on two packed workshops that educated and enlightened the LGB crowd in attendance. Lil’ Kim performed and we made a splash at the pool party. This year will be a good time too, it’s always a good time when we travel together. If you’re interested in going, we’d like to get a number so we can plan. Please send an email to info@tmanphilly.com or a text message to (215) 259-8049, letting us know you’d like to go. We’ll work out the exact dates as we get a better idea of who’s going and work/time off schedules.

Airfare right now (as of May 4th) is pretty cheap, about $200 – You can use Farecast to track the fares here.

The host hotel is the Loews ATL. It’s brand new, and opened on April 1st. You can check it out here – Loews ATL.

And of course, keep checking the In the Life ATL Website for more information on events and happenings during pride.

This summer TMAN will be doing at least 2 camping trips, and possibly a trip elsewhere. This means it’s time to start saving up and thinking about where you’d like to go. Below are some ideas and some considerations. If you have other comments/suggestions please post them below info@tmanphilly.com.

There are three big holidays in the summer, Memorial day, July 4th, and Labor day. All of these weekends are good opportunities to go on trips, go camping or set up simple cookouts in Fairmount or Roosevelt park.

Camping:

Summer trip:

• At the Beach LA - Biggest feature is a big party on the beach at the end of the pride celebration. However, LA is spread out and somewhat expensive
• Miami Sizzle - The beach is within driving distance, but this trip is coming up soon so there’s less time to save
• Las Vegas – There aren’t any specific events going on here but Vegas is relatively cheap – 5* condos go for around $100 during the summer since it’s extremely hot. There’s gambling (obviously), and fun things to do until 4 or 5am.
• New Orleans Black Pride This year the theme seems to be “Blame it on the Alcohol”. Anyone else been to New Orleans or have any other insights?
