"the gay weekend clubs".
History of T.R.A.C.S.
The idea to have our own parties came original
from Rod. I had seen a factory that, after a little modeling, would fit great
at the urban town I had in my mind to build. It needed a name and I played with
the first letters of our names. Tim, Rod and Christo's. So our club name became
T.R.A.C.S. The song Sledge Hammer of Peter Gabriel became the Club tune:
I picked that song because of the first
part of the song:
You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your T.R.A.C.S.
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
all you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

On October 3rd 2009
we had our first party at T.R.A.C.S., at that time at Christo Island
The owner (Marc) wanted to create an alliance with other gay clubs.
We did try that but it did not work.
Think that every club in that alliance had there own idea how to have benefit of it.

In the first part of 2010 we also start to
go more regular to the parties on Sweetgrass
and I went a few times to Coral Reef.
and I went a few times to Coral Reef.
The rest of 2010 we went often to Open
Minds and Sweetgrass but not every weekend and that was okay and felt okay. I
see that also at the posts about the parties where we went. But mostly because
of, at that time, I placed text with the photos.
But during 2010, the text with the pictures
of the parties becomes less and slowly disappeared.
Till now 2010 was the year I post the most.
But the posts about the parties I gave more and more, during that year, less
attention. But moving through the posts of 2011 I see that we had some wonderful
themes and I made some great flyers for them. Sweets and T.R.A.C.S. also started
to place the poster of the next week event in each others club.
Club T.R.A.C.S. did start to feel tight and
in December 2010 I made a start to demolish or old harbor to make an Event
Centre.
Also in my posts about the parties, the text returns.

When I look back on 2010, than I remember
that the termination of Karl Huet had a big impact on me. The idea that one
could easy loose all took away the fun to build.
But at the end of 2010 that creativity did
return.
History of the gay weekend clubs
Every Friday we went to Open Minds an every
Sunday to Sweetgrass.
On December 10th, 2010 I took the initiative to publish the logo of the some kind of union
that came into existence between Open Minds, Sweetgrass and T.R.A.C.S.
We already publish, by group notes, what
party and theme other clubs had in the weekend.
I made the poster and Tim give it the name:
"the gay weekend clubs".
I did that with out asking Norbie owner of
Sweetgrass and Bernard owner of Open Minds.
But everybody seems to be agree and used
the logo at there club.
End 2010 it happen what I was so afraid of,
we lost the sim.
Our landlady got in, or made, trouble with
Linden Lab. I leave to others to judge that.
We got the time to clean the sim.
To be continued.
