DISCLAIMER Hi, I’m Mike. I’m your weekend guide, your affable party host, and the cancerous little angel perched on your shoulder happily shepherding you into making regrettable decisions during what will be the craziest Vermont party weekend yet. So grab my hand and let’s head deep into the mountains of Vermont together… You probably already know what this weekend is: a guerilla gay bombing of a small village in the middle-ofnowhere Vermont. So now I’ll try to explain why this weekend is. It’s to get away from gay city people and to give you a chance to step outside of the real world for a weekend and into an alternate universe where a tiny farming/mountain town is suddenly and overwhelmingly… gay. The weekend is weird, very drunk, and honestly… its not for everybody. It’s definitely not luxurious, it’s definitely not fabulous, it’s unique. But it’s really, really fun if you’re a laid back, easy-going kind of homo. You’ll meet a lot of new people, and probably make a lot of new friends. The purpose of this guide is to help you determine if this weekend is for you. It might not be, and that’s ok. But if it is, you’re going to have a weekend you won’t forget.
WelCome to Summer gAY cAMp Aaaaaaaaaaah summer camp… hiking through the woods, campfires at night, vicious and hateful social cliques that psychologically destroy your slightly overweight friend, and that one creepy older councilor that would have you smelltest ether rags in the back of his Taurus... For many of us, it was the best time of our lives. Deep in the woods of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom is the strange little town of Montgomery – the unlikeliest spot for a gay throwdown party weekend. If you blinked, you’d drive right through it. But if you dig a little deeper, you’d find a really weird scene – there’s a dark youth hostel style lodge but also perfectly quaint inns… there’s a little white steeple church, but that’s where the town buys its drugs. There’s a lot of farmers and rednecks, but even more hippies and homos. And everyone seems to get along. And then at Labor Day, this little town center of about 500 people welcomes 100 city gays. It’s weird, but it’s kind of perfect. This is the 9 th and final year I’ll do this, and every year it seems to get bigger. We had over 100 guys from the US and Canada there last year. It’s not an organized ‘gay weekend’ and there’s no paid events, or anything other than an open invite to come and check out Montgomery, Vermont, kick back, let loose, and experience a scene that is, in many ways, the opposite of Provincetown, Key West, or big city gay fests.
