It's Thanksgiving & I'm Thankful, by Jen Seymour


IT'S THANKSGIVING AT HUNTERS PALM SPRINGS & I'M THANKFUL
It is that time of year when many people reflect upon what they are thankful for in their lives.  Here are my thoughts as this year comes to an end.    I am thankful for my family.  Although they are far away, I know they are only a phone call away.  For my Palm Springs family, who all keep me grounded each in their own way.  For my friends, old and new, who I know I can count on in times of need.  I am especially thankful for true friends.  For as I grow older, I have become witness to the scarcity of true unconditional friendship. I am thankful for past and present relationships, because I have learned something from all of them.  
I am thankful for all the career opportunities that I have been given.  I am blessed to belong to a company where I consider everyone I work with a friend. Where mutual respect is commonplace and everyone works incredibly hard towards one common goal. A place where diversity is celebrated instead of repressed.
My hope for the future is to keep this thankful perspective, not just once a year, but on a daily basis.

IMAGINE, For Just 1 Minute.......


 
 
IMAGINE FOR JUST 1 MINUTE......
You work four, 12 hour shifts back to back, just leaving yourself barely enough time to sleep for a few hours before returning back to work, and to boot, working on the line faster than Lucy and Ethel on the candy conveyer belt for the entire 12 hour shift. Also, imagine that your work conditions include deafening sound levels and demanding bosses and clients, all on weekend hours on top of your already heavy weekday schedule.

Those are the conditions that our staff at Hunters PalmSprings endures on Pride weekend, all the time loving the work. I mean they LOVE their work! No complaints, just a hurried smile as they return for another shift.

Patrick and I do not have the words to express to each and every one how much we appreciate their everyday   hard work and dedication to providing excellence in the nightclub business, especially on weekends like Palm Springs Pride. All we can do is say thanks, thanks so much, from our hearts.

The performance of the entire staff, Jennifer the general manager and the volunteers that helped, truly makes our tag line at Hunters Nightclub come to life…….Spirits Elevated!

Have You Heard? IT'S HUGE!


HAVE YOU HEARD?
I T ' S  H U G E  !

Are YOU Invited to Hunter's
Magnificently Monstrous Anniversary Party?


Over the past thirty years, thousands of you now reading this have partied, danced, laughed and found love within the pulsating walls of Hunters in Elk Grove Village. 
Test yourself with this quiz down Memory Lane, answering True or False to each item.
You'll need to get at least ONE correct in order to be invited to our mega-anniversary party.

1) True or False? On Friday, October 22, 1982, Mark Hunter, feeling very hip in his snazzy gold 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit convertible, was nervously speeding to the Grand Opening Very First Night Ever of Hunters when, still several blocks away, the entire transmission suddenly wrenched itself from the engine compartment and plummeted to the ground. Hoofing it the rest of the way, Mark prayed this was not a sign of opening night karma for his new dream venture: the first, biggest and best gay nightclub in the Chicago suburbs. However, wIth little more than word-of-mouth buzz, Hunters was absolutely packed on its first night open!

2) True or False? Although Hunters has hosted countless gala celebrations over the years, NOTHING has ever come even CLOSE to what their 30th Anniversary Party promises to be!

3) True or False? As extravagantly fabulous as this evening will be, it will only truly be memorable if YOU are there!

For all those who answered TRUE to at least one question above, read on for more details
…because YOU are IN, baby!

T I M E L I N E : Thursday, October 18, 2012 :
Enter the party at 8pm, first posing for complementary commemorative snapshots of you in our Club Photo Booth. An extensive food buffet 
with an elaborate ice sculpture overlooking sumptuous hors d'oeuvres (including shrimp and decadent anniversary cake) is our gift to you…along with a fashionable cocktail bracelet (sure to become a treasured family heirloom),
good for three of our select adult beverages.

Ready now for some deep aural pleasure? Legendary cabaret performer Honey West belts out her best numbers till 9pm, after which Hunters "Can't Stop the Music" begins, taking you back to our '80s disco roots! Hosted by Chicago's documented "Best Female Impersonator" Miss Foozie and DJ'd by Ron G., the club will be a bitchen brick house of groovy disco duds to the max (costumes highly encouraged!). The treasure chest giveaway by Boxboy Rich includes tambourines, whistles, dance fans, flaggers, confetti, glow sticks, and more: special performances from the staff, a vintage video presentation of 30 years of Hunters patrons, ripped male dancers working magic with a a long, hard pole...and divas, divas and MORE divas, doing what they do best! As the night progresses, so do the music, the videos, the dancing…all the way up to this minute!

Although it is virtually impossible to package up all the millions of incredible memories, life-changing experiences and, most of all, phenomenal people I have absorbed over these past 30 years, opening Hunters Chicago has been, without a doubt, the pinnacle of my life. To fully commemorate this momentous milestone, your presence would truly be the icing on the cake.

Warmly,
