If not in Chicago, THE place to be for the 4th of July weekend was definitely the tri-city area of Douglas, Fennville, and Saugatuck, Michigan - from where I am penning this column. For yet another year this area on the opposite shores of Lake Michigan was FUN, FUN, FUN!. Campit, the gay campgrounds, had up to 600 folks semi-roughing it; the Dunes Resort complex was a busy beehive of activity featuring DJs David Knapp, Brett Henrichsen, Mark Valesse, and John Olson; and all rental houses, hotels, and B&B Inns were booked solid with "family." Finally, yours truly had the honor of DJing the Saturday night Farm Party for 1,000 of my closest friends. Usually preferring modesty over self-aggrandizement, even I after to say that this outdoors after-hours party under the Michigan skies was "of 'da hook!" (The bass beat and dance music you heard early Sunday morning in Chicago was actually the sound from the Farm Party traveling across Lake Michigan. ) Thanks to the many of you who showed me some love and expressed your appreciation.
