9/22-9/23/06
Saturday was our Leather and Lace night. We had a lot of the ladies that participate, and I have to say you all looked fantastic. Thanks for joining in. We had a lot of couples and singles that haven't been around in a long time, it was really nice to have you back, and we hope we see you all more often.
There's been rumor flying around we hear that TMP is closed or closing, this is just a rumor, there is absolutely no truth to it at all. TMP has been around for over 20 years and it's not going anywhere. In fact TMP just keeps getting better, we've been making improvements and updates all over the club, so if you haven't been out in a while come check it out. We don't know where the bad information came from, but we wanted all of our current and future members to know we aren't going anywhere.
The staff at TMP also requests your help. If you see something that needs attention, or someone is having a problem, or you need something, please see a TMP staff member. All of the staff wears little clear plastic name tags throughout the night, so they're easier to spot. We want to make TMP as pleasant an environment as possible for everyone, but we don't always see everything, so sometimes we may not notice something that you have.
One last note, this is coming from a discussion with some new members this past weekend. We want everyone who comes to TMP to be comfortable being there. I think a lot of people come to a swing club thinking that they have to do something just because they are there. This is definitely not the case. It is your body and you do only what you want to do. There are couples that come to the club from every background, have all different fantasies and are there for all different reasons. That's the beauty of a swing club, you get to meet open minded people who share similar interests, and if more happens that's a bonus. It is more than ok to say no, and if your told no you shouldn't feel offended. It's not something you should take personally, it's just not the right time for that match up for what ever reason and you have the option to stay and make friends or move along to a different person you may be more compatible with. I can't tell you how many times new couples come in the door, or probably never make it in the door because they think there is an expectation for them to have to play with other people. This is not the case, if a new couples just wants to come in and hang out for an evening and never do anything, that is perfectly ok. Anyone who comes in can always just hang out, there is never an expectation for more, it's up to you what you want to do, and you should never feel pressured into doing anything your uncomfortable with. The Meeting Place is just that, a place to meet people.
So looking forward to Saturday, this will be our first ever Sexy Pictionary game at TMP. I'm sure we can even find some prizes for our winning team. The club members who were around on Saturday helped us with some of the words for the game, and I'm sure we will have a blast getting everyone to draw them. So come join us for a fun game, and then some great music supplied by our own DJ Dave, and then who knows what after that. Hope to see lots and lots of you Sexy people there!
