FREE!...This is one of the few ZULLUU concerts that are FREE. So please donate something what you can spare at the door, even $2 would be most appreciated.

A 100% goes to the "Unity Home". ( I will be donating a turkey, to start it off)

 ZULLUU Band

DRESS: It is traditional for ZULLUU events to have a theme, this one, is Fairies, Angels, White and Black, or Zebra with any mix of "Bling". We will be smothering the place with fairy lights so it should be a fantasy land of light! Let it be a great starting party, to set off the festive season.

The Party - Desert Cities Trouble Makers!

"

"Groovyman" Mr. Outrageous
Dennis Groveman & Anna Miller

Yup, we're the culprits. The Desert Cities trouble makers spreading the word about local venues, places to go and people to see!  Dennis' idea to start this blog has produced a never-ending stream of free advertising opportunities for local businesses, friends and artists.  We plan to make local events a news worthy story whenever we can. 

Dennis Groveman also known by his friends as Groovy, Groovyman and Mr. Outrageous has been a staple in the Desert Cities area for a very long time.  As a childhood actor he learned early on how to steal the show and get the party started.  His main role is Social Director & Host at gatherings where we decide to land for an afternoon or evening of fun and adventure.

As Photographer & Writer, Anna Miller brings balance to Dennis' over-the-top personality.  Our friends mean the world to us and having a place to share their expertise is more than fun, it's exhilarating. 

Visit The Party - Desert Cities Blog often to see what's happening around town.  Join the email list and receive one email with all recent blog posts.  Enter your email address on the upper right sidebar area "Follow This Blog By Email."

Hope to see you out and about soon.  When you see us, please stop and say hello!  Mention this blog, and we'll see if we can get you a discount or free cocktail!  Keep smiling.  Have fun. Join the posse ! 

John Stanley King at Escena Tuesday Night 5-9

John Stanley King & James East at Escena

Some of the best music in the Desert Cities area is made by a group led by John Stanley King.  John's background and passion for music is a must see and hear venue.  Whenever you hear or see the name John Stanley King be prepared for a treat!  His heart felt music is reminiscent of days gone by.  As he sings and strums his guitar memories flash in the minds of his audience.  He has a way of bringing the past to today's reality.

Along with John is James East (above photo) and Eric Frankson (below photo).

  

 Eric Frankson

 

James East's laid back, smooth, classy style brings the perfect balance for the group.  Eric's fiddling is totally awesome and has a way of stealing the show.  The John Stanley King Band is a Desert Cities must see, hear and feel!  Oh yes, and their original songs make you want to get up and dance!  Move and groove!

We look forward to every Tuesday night from 5-9 p.m. at the Escena Golf Club.  The lounge is absolutely gorgeous and the atmosphere is relaxing.  They have great happy hour prices for food and drinks all night long!

For more information or to book this group for your event, contact John Stanley King.

Some of us know why Dennis has that silly smile on his face, and we won't tell, but you can guess!

Dennis "Groovyman" Groveman had an idea.  He said, "Why don't we start writing about our experiences around town?  We'll visit places, establish relationships with the owners and give them free advertising."  The idea was a perfect fit for our group called The Posse's Party.  

Welcome to The Party - Desert Cities Blog.  

We are a group of fun-loving, self-sufficient people who are known to gather from time-to-time for dinner, dancing, lunch, shopping or to do whatever our heart desires.  We live in Southern California's Desert Cities area and frequent establishments in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Desert Hot Springs, La Quinta, Indio and other nearby areas like Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley and Joshua Tree, too!

The purpose of our blog is to share with our readers places to go and people to see within the Desert Cities area.  We cover news, views and share our opinions.  We share photos, video clips and links to the local hot-spots we visit.  

We enjoy listening to good music; especially tunes to make us get up and dance!   

Our life is an open book, and we intend to share it with you on The Party - Desert Cities Blog.  Come join us for fun, food and frolic!  We hang with the best and enjoy just about every moment we are together.
