An orgy sounds like a great M&G..IMO!!
Not many on here are willing to let it all hang out...what a shame!!!

To get serious again the thread was started with getting a M&G together. The parties that are held in a private venue will take a lot of work and money. The cocktail type parties would be easier but still a devil to get started. I have been to both types and each one has been fun. The idea is to start with a small group(10-20) and grow from there. The ladies have a better grasp of how to select and invite the guys. I have always made it a point to buy for the ladies as I like to see many at the party.

I would love to mix with the Lads and Ladies in a social setting, but overall it doesn't seem like a really good idea in the long run..

At one time, a few years ago, there was such a gathering almost once a month in Houston, alternating between evening and lunch events. They always sounded like fun, but I never could schedule the time away and UTR.

Wasen't it a busted Christmas gathering that lead to the demise of ASPD in 2010? I did not attend and stayed out of the on-line scene for amonths afterward. When I did came back, ASPD was gone.

I suppose that one way to kick-off something like this would be to simply declare a lunch or evening event at some restaurant/bar like Twin Peaks (or anywhere else) and see who shows up. I am sure that it is not that simple . . .but WTF?

BJs Brew Pub is a nice place that has areas where you can sit away from every other group. The wait staff are open to group seating and willing to add more tables if needed. At some of them every one just moves from table to table so there is a chance to meet every one.

The Houston event had nothing to do with the demise of ASPD. People got too relaxed and careless and made mistakes in Houston. Business should not be discussed, at that time, and the meet and greet should only be used to see if you might be compatible for future plans.

Forum Guideline #30 deals with this
#30 - ECCIE does not, in any way, sponsor or represent social events, meet and greets, or similar activities.

If I make a tiny suggestion, why couldn't it be planned under the guise of "speed-dating" type event? You know a short 1-2 minute interview per couple, switch, so really every fellow has the chance to briefly meet every lady, and ladies, obviously, bring a business card, which a cheap investment anyways, easily disposed of... And there wouldn't be that much covert acting required....

2 cents!
