I'm thinking of taking Maximum Escorts on tour - need suggestions...

[stephen_maximum]

Hey guys...

 

For a while now I have been contemplating taking a handful or so of our guys out to different cities. My problem is that I just don't know how I can make it work out logistically and financially so it is worth the trouble. There are the obvious overhead expenses of transportation, lodging, and food. Also, if I took guys to another city for a period of time, I would want to make sure that they came back with enough money to justify the time away, and also I would want to make sure that outside of paying for expenses I came away with enough that would justify the entire venture. I am concerned that because rates tend to be lower in other cities we simply couldn't generate enough business to make it all worthwhile.

 

What prices could we charge? Which guys/types are the best choices to bring? What cities might have the greatest interest in our guys? I would welcome any and all ideas about this concept, especially from guys outside of the NYC area. Post here, but also feel free to email me.

There are several escorts that seem to make a good living as "traveling escorts" so some of them can probably give you some advice. The traveling ones seem to always stop in DC, Chicago, LA, someplace in Texas (Dallas or Houston). Of course none of them ever seem to get to KY x(

 

While, I sort of take that back, SmallTownJohn seems to stop here for 1 night every year. Of course I'm never home in KY on his annual 1 night stand.

Hey Stephen,

 

I have a very nice house with pool down here, bring the boys and stay for free. Not sure my neighborhood would understand the meaning of Brothel, but it's worth a try.

[JT Brooklyn]

Stephan..Sweet Idea! But the Logistic's of this Venture, seem a little Rough. IMHO.. It would be a matter of What Goes Right & What Goes Wrong for "Traveling" Working Guy's.. X's what 3 or 4 Guys!

 

Hopefully you will get the needed info, from those in the know to see IF... the Traveling Max Guy's is worth it Financially, for all concerned.

:P

Stephen.....Please send the boys down to Jawja. Your stable of studs is in short supply in our neck of the woods. We have been overrun by prissy twinks and thugs; you guys would be on a mission of mercy to make a relief trip here.

 

Unfortunately, the market in Atlanta supports a rate of about 200-250, but good hotel rooms are much cheaper down here. If you guys come, I'll be the first customer knocking on the door. :9

[Guest empire]

A very ambitious idea.

 

As you most likely know your NYC rates won't fly in the majority of cities that have a large client base. The only exception might be Los Angeles. However, I feel it still can be financially successful if you adjust rates to each city you visit.

 

As to what cities would support such a venture I suggest starting in the west and move east. Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Denver and Chicago. Each city should have enough clients willing to pay $250. and Los Angeles probably would support $300. fee. Plus keep in mind that several of your guys could end up with evening or overnight appointments that would produce greater revenue.

Things must be dead in NYC for Maximum if it's time to take the show on the road.

Hey Stephen,

 

I'm taking a year off starting in June and aside from my Euro-Trip and some other vacations, this sounds like fun. Keep me posted

[RockHard]

Why can't I get the visual of 4 Liza Minellis in "The Rink" out of my head. Damn you, Stephen.

[stephen_maximum]

Thanks Allen. When I plan to take them down to FL I will definitely let you know!

for "private tours", what are your rates for say a weekend from friday afternoon to monday morning? i realize it may be different for some men but what is the range? the rate would be plus travel costs, of course.

 

it may be easier to promote a single man on tour than a group. man to man escorts from LA does these single man tours.

[Traveler North]

Hey Shephen, best time to take guys on tour to Florida is in winter months. If you take up Allen on his offer, let me know. Be glad to connect with some of the boys. Live not far from Allen.:9 :9 :9 :9

Don't, you'll take a financial bath.

 

Helpfully yours,

If you are thinking about taking the Maximum show on the road, I would recommend a trial run with an excursion to a nearby city to minimize your cost risk. This suggests Boston or Washington, DC, both of which are close by NYC, accessible by Amtrak, and connected to good public transportation systems. Although hotels are not cheap in either city, you can often get good deals, with Priceline or some other such place. I know in DC many guys stay at the Carlyle Suites, which is in a good location, in the gay part of town, safe, with plenty of restaurants at your doorstep. It is also within easy walking distance to the Metro (subway), and many room have kitchenettes, a big plus for the bodybuilding crwwd with their complex diets.

 

To put your best foot forward, you would want only your most reliable guys to go. Flakes need not apply. It seems to me that muscle guys are always in demand in DC. We don't have any/many of our own. Fitness magazine cover guys can write their own ticket it seems. If they are versatile and affectionate, they will be the escort equivalent of universal donors at the blood bank.

 

I think the going rate in DC for high quality guys is probably $250 to $300 for an unhurried hour.

I would be concerned that such a road trip could attract the attention of the local fuz. While they might turn a blind eye to a single visiting escort, a group of hos on a scheduled tour could be hard to resist for a local DA, especially if he is up for re-election.

Normally, I wouldn't recommend that such a project as travelling escorts (either single or a group as you are proposing) include a Canadian city as the exchange rate has really sucked until recently. However circumstances have changed and the rate is now within 10 percent of the US dollar and the cost of hotels/restaurants is more than 10 percent lower than Manhatten rates.

 

While rates for New York escorts are higher than most escorts in Montreal, this summer there will be a huge influx of gay travellers for the Outgames in late July (starting July 26th I believe). This event is expected to attract thousands of gay men from all over Europe and North America. The only problem may be securing hotel accomodations. Many travel organizations are proposing travel packages including travel/accomodation.

 

Moreover the Outgames are taking place right after the Gay Games in Chicago. At this point it is not clear which event will attract a larger number of visitors, although Canada's reputation for welcoming gays is clearly superior to the US's. For instance there is a huge issue in the US about screening for HIV at the border which many gay men from abroad find offensive. As well, Montreal is gearing up for a large number of gay weddings during the games which will be performed for visiting foreigners.

 

Also, gay escorting is legal in Canada and there is no harassment by the authorities (only street prostitution is discouraged).

 

Anyway, it's something to think about.

Maybe I should have mentioned that until 2008, you still don't need a passport to visit Canada if you are a US citizen and arrive BY LAND, not air. That means escorts without passports could take the train or bus from New York, as long as they have their birth certificates and a second photo ID such as a driver's licence.

>don't need a passport to visit Canada if you are a US citizen

>and arrive BY LAND, not air.

 

Isn't that strange? What could your mode of transportation possibly have to do with your entry documentation requirements?

[Luv2play]

I think it has to do with the fact that there are many more land-based crossings than airports which service the US market. Since 9/11 the US has been upgrading their border security measures including installing new technology. This has been done in the airports as a first priority and is only being addressed at the land crossings later.
