Everyone's Irish for St. Pat's Weekend.
To guarantee your green, Friday night, the one-and-only lassie Athena Knight - RMR's premiere Irish Ingenue,
Gaelic Goddess, Goidelic Gal, Erse Entertainer, and Celtic Coquette - presents her one-and-only, one-woman show (okay, there are three other, lesser lassies)
Isle of Promise
A
Tribute to the Celtic Woman.
Isle of Promise features new music and a few returning favorites! There is something for everyone in this show, including new costumes and a set.
Jessica Stone Hart reprises Chloe Agnew.
Scarlet Lettah returns as Alex Sharpe.
Athena Knight reappears as Lisa Kelly.
and newcomer Layla LaDiva debuts as Lynn Hilary.

Saturday, it's our Pot 'o Gold Party. Every paid admission sticks their hand into Doorman Kevin's magic kettle (no, it will not be placed on his lap with a hole in the bottom - that wouldn't be much of a prize!) and pulls out a coin. Some coins will score you a fine prize, some will score you a nice prize, many will score you a pathetic prize, most will score you nothing, and three will score you a contestant ticket that will automatically enter you into Manager Jayson's Let's Make A Deal Game Show.
Did you say, where's the poster?

Bears & Big Guys
March 19-21
March 20th is the first day of spring, so - by rights - Amanda could fall back on the old, trite "coming out of hibernation" quips that she and countless others have used in the past. She could also trot out that old photo of the bears seemingly engaging in wilderness hoo-hah (why, there it is now!).
Instead, Amanda will take the high road and speak of brotherly bonding and camaraderie and renewing old ties after this long, cold and snowy winter. While maintaining said high road, she will have to slip in the fact that guests can sign up for a complimentary massage (first come, first serviced), and that there will be a congregate dining table each evening, and that the hot tub and sauna will be open 24/7, and that there will be a hospitality suite and that there will be at least two (perhaps, three) dancers stripping for you on Saturday night.
Complimentary massages are offered by Butch, who attended the Baltimore School of Massage Therapy. It is a full-body, one-hour experience, combining a mix of Swedish, Pressure Point, and Si Itsu, done with oil, with an alcohol splash at the end, if desired. Click here, if you would like to contact Butch ahead of time.
Friday evening, it's discount beer, free hoagies and Bearaoke! If you haven't bagged your first catch at the Singles' Congregate Dining Table, rest assured that the karaoke host will announce your name before and after you sing (the host will also announce your room number - just ask). Once everyone knows your name, they're free to come up and compliment your singing, your song selection, your extraordinarily long tongue, your butt, whatever catches their eye. Basically, you're fair game. Still haven't connected? Stop by the hot tub, sauna and hospitality suite (yes, yes, and Melz Place) on the way back to your room. Leave just a little energy, in case anyone memorized your room number.
Saturday, wake up and repeat!
While that may well be exactly what happens, Amanda gets paid by the word, so read on. We are delighted to welcome Miss Chantel Curtis in her premiere engagement at the Mountain. While a performance by Miss Curtis is enough reason to smile, she will be accompanied by at least two (perhaps, three) dancing men. Miss Chantel has a number of men at her disposal (just like you last night), and photos will follow. Miss Chantel and her men will be joining the congregate table for dinner on Saturday. Yet, another reason to smile.
Manger Jayson toiled long and hard (okay, maybe just hard) to select just the right entertainers. The interviews went on for hours. Nonetheless, Manager Jayson steadfastly refused reinforcements, insisting he could finish the job. The envelop please...
Both stamped Grade A Beef(cake).
One additional tidbit: dancing man on the left will be spending the weekend, so he'll be sitting at the Singles' Congregate Dining Table on Friday, as well. And, because he's being so generous, we've added a second picture:
(And because there are some attributes that cannot be fully appreciated in a frontal view that just seem to pop out at you in profile.)

Spring Break Party
Saturday, March 27
Miss Heaven Leigh feigns mock horror that we have obtained a photo of Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz shirtless. (We know Miss Leigh likes her Chicken Tenders; we now guess she also likes her chicken tender.) Amanda is just sayin'.
It's the weekend before Easter and that's the official start of spring break week. Sure, you can travel to Fort Lauderdale, but if you really want to be where the boys are.... It's all about tropical drinks with little umbrellas and jello shots served up by a sleazily-dressed shooter boy and a Beach Boys Karaoke Contest. Yes, yes, there will be a Jan and Dean exception.
If you've never heard of the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean, then your chicken is just right for Miss Finger-Lickin' Leigh. Amanda just reports it the way it is.

Easter Weekend
April 2-4
We've been made privy to some of what Miss Scarlett Lettah has in mind for her annual Good Friday Drag Show and we are aghast. While the girl has never been known for her good taste, it appears all sense of decorum and decency will be abandoned in favor of a few cheap gimmicks and laughs. Amanda is, however, amused by the show title furnished by Miss FL Leigh (kindly see previous weekend's blurb to understand skewering humor).
Of course, it's no "Going Rouge".
Saturday, we once again allow Miss Scarlett Lettah out of her cage to host Lucky Bunny Lotto. If you've experienced this before, you know it begins as a polite game of distributing prize-filled plastic eggs. Buy an alcoholic beverage and get a numbered ticket. Bring 
said numbered ticket to Miss Lettah, dressed as a PlayBunnyBoy, and claim the prize-filled egg with the corresponding number. Well, that's how its supposed to work.
Then, someone buys the PlayBunnyBoy a drink to whet her whistle. One becomes two, two becomes three, three four and it's all downhill from there. Soon, she can barely read the numbers and her good-taste filter evaporates. Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed by Miss Lettah after her second drink do not reflect those of the management and management can not be held responsible for anything that comes out of Miss Lettah's mouth.

Ladies 2000 Spring Fling Weekend
April 23-25
Our bestest friends at Ladies 2000 have once again pointed their fickle finger of fate at Rainbow Mountain on the last full weekend of April and declared, "Ladies, Rainbow Mountain is the place to be". And, as the night follows the day, so, too , will hundreds of women follow their recommendation.
Friday, Amy once again takes on the karaoke hosting duties and brings The Singing Bee along with her. A well-known, albeit random, song begins with music and words supplied. You sing supplied words. Suddenly, Amy - just following the rules - takes away supplied words. Of course, it's a well-known song and everyone, of course, knows the words - except you! (Actually, you know the words, too; but, under the mounting pressure of holding the microphone and being expected 
to supply the words - all your mind can come up with is a blank. Seconds tick away and all eyes (and ears) focus on the words that are about to emanate from your open, but speechless, mouth. Get the words right, and you're on to the next round. Get the words wrong, and it's off to the walk of shame. No one can make the most out of misery like good, old Amy.
Saturday afternoon, we play what is arguably our favorite version of The Newlywed Gayme since, well, last Fall's Ladies 2000 Weekend. Manager Jayson hosts and we all enjoy seeing exactly how you put the fun in 
dysfunctional.
Saturday, starting at 5 pm, we host the Ladies 2000 MegaParty. It kicks off with the first of nine hours of continuous dance music and a one-hour $1 You-Call-It Power Bar. The complimentary dinner buffet starts at 6 pm. Amy hosts Karaoke in the MouseTrap Lounge. 'Round about 11 pm, local lesbian rocker
Regina Sayles
performs LIVE. Nobody gets the crowd pumped like Regina.
Be here. Or hear about what you missed.

Men's Fetish Weekend
April 30-May 2
Dare-aoke. That's how it all starts out (not really, it's out of sequence; but, follow Amanda out of faith in her masterful - get it? - sense of direction). Friday, in the MouseTrap Lounge, sign up for Dare-aoke. You commit to singing the song, we tell you what you have to do while singing it. Come on, it's Men's Fetish Weekend; if we can't push the envelope this weekend.... And to assure you're in the mood to let down your defenses, it's $1 off all alcoholic beverages and complimentary chips and dip in the MouseTrap.
Your first chance to show us just how far you'll go actually happens much earlier in the day. After you check-in, you innocently announce you're going to check-out the Hot Tub, Sauna, Melz Place, WS Area and Dungeon Hospitality Suite - just so you know where they are for later (winkie, winkie). If we don't see by dinner time, we won't bother to come looking - we'll assume you got tied up.
Speaking of dinner, there will be a Congregate Dining Table both evenings (and our weekend host will be there).
Speaking of weekend hosts, we could not be happier as we welcome back porn performer,
Fyerfli.
We culled the net (okay, we took off the Google filter, entered his name, and 
clicked on "images") to bring you some G- and PG-rated photos. Feel free to do the same (as there are many more photos of the R- and M- and NC17- and X- and even XXX-rated variety (not that Amanda has seen them).
Anyway, Fyerfli - in addition to spending the weekend - we be the featured performer in the Dance Club on Saturday night (you were the featured performer on Friday night at Dare-aoke in the MouseTrap). Last visit, he did a pre-show in the parking lot in front of the Nightclub, so stay on your toes.
Yes, Fyerfli will be visiting the aforementioned locations after hours to make certain you are having a good time (and to see if you are still tied up).

Brad Loekle & Undies
(always a winning combo)
May 14-16
Such a deal for us! Brad may be leaving on Saturday to entertain on a cruise to Bermuda, but - because he loves us all so much - he has agreed to a Friday night performance, even if it means getting up way too early on Saturday. Brad (and sidekink [yes, we know what it says] Kevin) may decide to just pull an all-nighter. That being the case, perhaps we should start taking reservations for the Hot Tub.
If you've seen Brad before, than all you'll need is the date (Friday, May 14) and time (10:30 pm). If not, his blurb follows:
"Brad Loekle has hit the scene in recent years as one of the freshest and wildest gay comedians in America.
"He was born and raised in a small town in Upstate New York to a mild mannered accountant mother and a truck drivin’, Harley ridin’, hard drinkin’ redneck father. Comedy, amongst other things, was in his blood!
"He can currently be seen weekly on TruTV’s new original series The Smoking Gun Presents... This "Best Week Ever" style show features celebrities and comedians giving their take on some of the most outrageous criminal video footage there is. Mr. Loekle is enjoying two seasons of success with TruTV and is currently signed on board through season 4 of this series.
"Brad's voice is recognizable to Sirius-XM subscribers from his 3 year stint as a weekly guest co-host on Sirius XM Radio’s "Morning Jolt" ( 7-11AM/ Ch.109). As America’s premier GLBT radio station, Sirius OutQ reaches millions of listeners every day across the nation and the world!
"For those more inclined to the written word, Brad is a columnist for the Key West Gay Rag, a monthly publication exclusively for the queer community on Key West, Florida. His op-ed pieces speak on everything from political issues facing the gay community to his sexual escapades as he traverses the country. When he’s not writing about himself, he opens his arms and his heart to the readers of The Rag in his “Ask Nana” column. Here he channels his inner “Mame” and gives no holds barred advice from the point of view of his alter ego “Nana”: a 70-something year old Jewish fruit fly, living in Southern Florida.
"And then there is always Brad’s first love: Live Performance! Every Sunday night he holds court over NYC’s longest running weekly GLBT comedy show & the most popular comedy show in Hell’s Kitchen. The Electro-Shock Therapy Comedy Hour has been featured in the New York Times, Time Out NY, HX, Next, and countless other publications and websites.
"As a comedian has opened for the likes of Darryl Hammond (Saturday Night Live), Jessica Kirson (Last Comic Standing), Nancy Witter (Nick at Nite’s Search for America’s Funniest Mom), and Frank DeCaro (The Daily Show). In New York, he is a regular at clubs such as Carolines, Comix, and Gotham Comedy Club. He has also toured the country, and the world, performing at night clubs, casinos, colleges and resorts. (If you build a stage, he will come…)
"For 3 years Brad was the comedian-in-residence at the Ice Palace on Fire Island. He co-hosted and produced the longest running GLBT variety show on Fire Island: The Kamikaze Kabaret. This led to Mr. Loekle’s knack for 
performing in gay vacation spots across the globe. From Fire Island to Key West and the Pocono’s to Puerto Vallarta, Brad has crossed the continent headlining wherever there is sun, sand, and “sisters”.
"Be it talking about his insane childhood and upbringing as America's premiere gay redneck, how his father believes only gays can end the war in Iraq, or the pros and cons of having a vagina installed on his hip to keep from losing his chap stick; he has proven himself a true comic star on the rise. Don't take our word for it... just see what these folks have to say...."
“Outrageous, sacrilegious, controversial and very funny!”
- Show Business Weekly
“A Homo-Hoot that appeals to everyone regardless of their sexual orientation” - Backstage
“I don’t know if he should be arrested or given an award!” – critic David Hurst
“A truly original and gifted voice in gay comedy” – HX Magazine
Click any photo to go to his website, from whence you can go to his MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Smoking Gun pages.
Saturday, It's an Underwear Party in the Nightclub. You can either wear your own underwear or score a pair of ours. Of course we'll have a sexiest underwear contest. If Brad's still here, he'll be the judge.
Spring TG/CD Extravaganza
May 21-23
We've said it before, we'll say it again - we love this weekend!
See how happy (and photogenic) the staff are? In fact, they were so excited to get their pictures taken that there was only room for two of our guests!
The weekend starts on Thursday, even though the weekend officially starts on Friday. Over the years the number of ladies who choose to join us a day early has continued to grow. After dinner, everyone heads down to Amy's Karaoke, which seems particularly klueless that night.
Friday day, there will definitely be a group day trip to nearby Mount Airy Casino. Car caravan over in your "ladies who lunch" attire and turn that place out. (Sorry, no floor length dresses permitted during the day; there are, however, no limits on the length of dangling ear rings.)
Friday afternoon, we always break out the wine and cheese for a Welcome Wine and Cheese Reception - a wonderful opportunity for old friends to catch up and for new friends to be introduced around. Then, a leisurely dinner in the Restaurant. No reason to hurry, you're here all weekend. We've arranged a Karaoke Contest for Friday evening. Open to all, but extra points awarded for clever song choices in observance of the weekend (Get Back, Lola, Walk on the Wild Side, Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, What it Feels Like for a Girl, I Wish I Was a Girl, TransMission) - to get your juices flowing.
Saturday morning, we kick off the clothing, jewelry, wig, etc. swap in the Lobby. Bring the gently used items that no longer fit into your wardrobe (or that you no longer fit into) and shop amongst someone else's treasures.
Saturday afternoon, we anticipate another day trip (think either horseback riding or miniature golf) and - if the weather is agreeable - a poolside gathering. The Pool won't be ready, but that doesn't mean you can't put on that new bathing suit and big, floppy hat and bask in a little sun. Seasonal affective disorder - be gone!
Saturday, it's a Classics Dance Party.
Throughout the weekend Jayson (aka Heaven Leigh) will be offering make-overs with a difference. He doesn't just improve your look for one night, he teaches you how to keep the new look even after you return home.
And we're reviving the Before and After Contest. Bring a baby picture and a current picture (dressed, not in drab) with you and give them to us when you check in on Friday. Saturday at dinner, all will be jumbled and on display in the Lobby for contestants to try and match. (If you lack a current photo, we can take it at dinner on Friday.)
Be on the lookout for our first-ever Summer TG/CD Weekend on July 9-11. To kick it off, we will be preserving the off-season rates you are used to , even though it's summer! Why? Because, we love when you visit. (See bevy of smiling faces in picture above.)

Memorial Day Weekend
May 28-30
Harmonica Sunbeam!
(but more on that later).
We start it off with our version of The Singing Bee in the MouseTrap Lounge on Friday night. You sign up to join in the merriment. When it's your turn, a random song begins with music and words supplied to lull you into a false sense of security. You're up there, singing your little heart out, perhaps even dancing a few steps, feeling pretty good about your prospects for the future. Then, the karaoke host pulls the rug out from under your good time (by which, of course, we mean s/he stops the words). Sweat beads up on your forehead, an anxious crowd (all of whom, of course, know every word to this song) waits with breath bated. Seconds tick away and all eyes (and ears) focus on the words that are about to emanate from your open, but speechless, mouth. Get the words right, and you're on to the next round. Get the words wrong, and it's off to the walk of shame. Tomorrow, we extract your wisdom teeth without novocain.
Tomorrow would be Saturday. Unless you are one of the fortunates who could get off a day early, this will be your first day poolside. Sparkling clear water, bright spring sun, boys in speedos, girls in bikinis, and pool bartenders Marq and Bobby. (We use the glamour photo of Marq, because we can!)
Saturday night, head to the Nightclub for a Beach Party!
Sunday, we could not be more excited, as we present one of NYC's premiere drag personalities,
Harmonica Sunbeam
This girl does it all.
"Harmonica Sunbeam, The Queen of Comedy has been delighting audiences at nightclubs, cabarets, fundraising events and supermarket openings throughout the United States and abroad for over 15 years now. Her live appearances along with her personalized dvds, have gained her a cult following of all ages, races and backgrounds.
"With her unique yet classic style and razor-sharp wit, she has all the necessary talents to reach her goal of mainstream stardom. "The sky's the limit!," Harmonica exclaims. "In the entertainment field, if people feel you are marketable, they will use you in any capacity". She is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and has been featured on several television shows(Law and Order SVU, Third Watch, Johnny Zero and 100 Center Street). Her film credits include Honey w/Jessica Alba, Uptown Girls w/Brittany Murphy and the Oliver Stone drama " WORLD TRADE CENTER". Her next movie project due out early 2009 is an untitled one directed by Nicole Holofcener.
"Miss Sunbeam has also worked alongside noted musical artists such as Beyonce, Mary J.Blige and Jennifer Holiday to name a few.
"Harmonica entered the world of music with three pumping club singles that were produced independently but yet made thousands of new and lifelong fans. These titles include "Ready to Pump", "I'm Here To Work" and the latest "This Is The Beat".
"Despite her busy schedule Miss Sunbeam has still found time to assist and work with many community based gay organizations such as POCC, GMAD, Jersey City Pride, Our Youth and AAOGC to name a few. Her commitment to being a positive role model in today's selfish world clearly speaks for itself.
"In closing, Harmonica wants to take the time out and thank all of her fans that continue to support her endeavors both on and off the stage."
