I remember going to a Meet and Greet many years ago in Los Angeles. It was fun. We got to dress up and hand out cards.
I would be more interested in a Kinky, Fetish, BDSM Meet & Greet. I attended one of those in Boston when I was visiting. Again, this was years ago. I woul dlove to get back in the loop of these meetings.M&G would be fun! I do miss them.
If anyone wants to set one up, I will be available to answer your questions. But, I will not host or co-host. Though I may attend. LOL.
Bond
I attended several way back when…. I was pregnant at one M&G in Las Vegas at a huge mansion it was not fun for me because my feet were super swollen. I have attended Bonds parties in LA where no one offers to buy you a drink. lol 😂
I think some fellas refuse to understand how providers invest in attending these parties. I had to pay for childcare & dog boarding, plus travel to the venue. Don’t attend assuming you will get business. Some people hook up at the events. I like to plan in advance. I have escorted people previously to parties.
I remember going years ago and had an appointment with someone who was attending as well. We left after having a great time and then had an even better time with each other. I'd be happy to help arrange another one. It give everyone a great opportunity to meet face to face and get a good idea of each others vibe, etc. Kinky, fetish, etc etc would be awesome!!
I remember the last Beatpoet lunch. It was maybe February or early March 2020, just before Covid. I remember thinking is this Covid stuff going to be a problem. (I still have never gotten Covid!) I got to meet the amazing Andrea too! I'd be down for a lunch meet. I also took an amazing girl home once from one of the lunches!
I believe that with the absence of ladies on this board, it would be more difficult to try and start one that isn't going to cost somebody and arm or a leg. While I charged $40 years ago for a gents attendance at my M and G's, I don't think anything less than $100 to $150 will work. Some ladies and gents will attend of course. But, I don't think a great many will.
Just my opinion.
Especially in a place like LA where there's lots of money around. When I helped organize M&Gs in Manhattan and Las Vegas years ago we always charged the guys $100 and we never lacked for attendees.
My guess is that the real challenge is finding enough guys who were interested after all this time.
My parties averaged 150 per party. That included about 95 gents and about 50-55 ladies. As a general rule. But my mailing list was 750 people.
First, u would need a place that didn't charge u 2 arms and a leg for a private room. 2nd, I am with you as far as number of gents attending. 3rd, I am even more dubious about how many ladies to attend.
If you can get all the above, maybe u throw a party. Thats a big maybe.
We just booked a 2 BR suite with a living room in between.
I found a bar in Santa Monica that gave me the room for free as long as my bar bill was at least 3k. That was no problem to achieve. Had the place to ourselves including music and security and bar. Paid the manager $250 I believe and he acted like a DJ. Was a great place. Used it for years. They loved us.
I could never get a suite to accomodate the 150 people. Somebody would have been called. LOL.
However, given the state of the current board, I think u would only get a small amount of people to a party. In LA at least, I think a 2 bedroom suite would most likely work.
