You may recall from these earlier posts,
- Crystal Lake To Permit “Whatever Floats Your Boat” Rowing Event
- Gay Games Rowing Approved; Moral Issues Eschewed
that some four months ago, following a vigorous, vitriolic public debate, the local Park Board, granted approval for the Rowing event of the Gay Games to be held at Crystal Lake.1
And, from most recently published information about Gay Games VII, including this authoritative-looking Gay Games map, it appears that Crystal Lake remains the certified site for these festivities. [Look for the pink circle in the upper left corner. Find it? OK, now look closer inside the circle and you'll see the words, "Crystal Lake" with an arrow pointing off the map -- that's us. You can't miss it.]
In any case, barring scheduling conflicts with family or social obligations (e.g., a surprise visit from Aunt Fern, my audition for first chair alto sax with the Chicago Symphony, the orgy of the week, etc.), I plan to be at the Crystal Lake Gay Games Rowing Course2 this Sunday, July 16, 2006 for the races. The contests begin at 1 PM, but I hope to arrive early lest I miss any of the depravity predicted by the event’s opponents.
While my knowledge of and experience in competitive rowing (or, come to think of it, non-competitive rowing) is limited to … well, … to absolutely zip, zilch, nada, I will be spending this week in preparation, compiling pertinent potential puns, alluring allusions, and exponential entendres as well as putting in grueling hours viewing marathon sessions of Queer As Folk, The L Word, and Queer Eye For The Straight Guy,
Stay tuned.

- There appears to be no validity to the rumor that permission to hold this segment of the Gay Games in Crystal Lake was contingent on the participants wearing full-body condoms within the city limits. Nor, apparently, was the official slogan of Gay Games VII changed from “Where the World Meets” to “We’re All Going To Hell.” [↩]
- I somehow envision this rowing course to be down a slippery slope and paved with good intentions [↩]
