In this issue of David, we are getting ready and excited for the pool party – and by pool party, we mean the Joining Hearts Main Event SCORE at the Piedmont Park Pool on July 25. We give you the ultimate guide to the most epic pool party ever – and it applies to all the poolside events you will partake in this year! We also welcome Scott King back to the pages with his article series, The Land Before Time, that bridges the gap between gay life before and after the internet. This time, it’s about the dating game. And in the Lavender Lens, Tristan Lane discusses gym etiquette when the so-called bench press barons inhabit the gym and most of the equipment. That and so much more in this issue of David.
