The Meeting Place

Sorry everyone that there was no post last week for the Wet T-shirt contest. I was at the club all week doing prep for this weekends party. I didn't realize how many of you read this until some of your told me your we're disappointed not to see a post last week.

So a quick note about the Wet T's , we had lots of ladies and even 2 of the guys participate in the contest. It was a ball. The guys were a riot and 1 of them almost won, we had some very excited ladies that can make a lot of noise. A was our winner though, and she did a great job making it through 3 rounds of voting. All of the ladies did an excellent job, although I was partial to watching the guys, Dave wasn't too happy watching from the DJ booth. Thanks to the Birthday boy for pouring the water for us, we know you enjoyed it too though R.

Ok so onto this weekend. Wow what an awesome time. I hear Friday and the better part of the day on Saturday they just all had a ball, playing cards and games and eating lots of great food.
Saturday night we just had a great crowd of people, everyone just seemed to mesh really well, ate lots of food and had lots of laughs. We named the mascot, danced to some great music and just met some awesome people. I hear upstairs was pretty good too. Sunday we all just chilled out in the backyard all day and enjoyed the beautiful weather, grilled up some great food, played some games and listened to some music. Later in the evening Jeff broke out the Karoake and a few people even got up to sing.

So there are a lot of thank yous to go around for this weekend. First and foremost, thanks to all of you that came out and just had a good time despite the bad weather. I think the only thing that could have made the weekend better was good weather on Saturday too, but it can't always be perfect. Thank you to everyone who brought or made food over the weekend, sometimes that's a really big job and having all the help was awesome. I and Phyllis want to give special thanks to Laurie for making the Salads, and Lisa for spending all that time behind the grill. The food was probably some of the best we've had there. To D, thanks for all the cleaning you did during the day on Sunday, you'll never know how much we appreciate it. To anyone and everyone else who helped pick up, clean up, and everything in between it is truly appreciated.

To anyone who missed the party, you missed a great time, and I think the food and atmosphere were some of the best parts, I know Sunday we all ate so much we needed naps. The steaks, chicken, ribs, french fries, and fried veggies were just so awesome. I know many of the guys who got to try out their hands at that grill now want one, that deep fryer was just so cool.

I know I missed some people that I should have thanked, so if I missed you, I apologize, but I myself and still trying to recoup from the weekend, so I will close this for now. Don't forget truth or dare is next weekend and Hugo will be joining us to do tattoos and piercings. I know many of you that were with us this weekend plan on coming back for Truth or Dare so it should be absolutely awesome. Oh and one other change, the party on the 16th, where you brings your own meat to throw on the grill, we are changing the party start time to 3:00, we all just had so much fun outside all day yesterday, we want to spend even more time enjoying all that deck and grilling out, so plan on joining us early that day.

Well Kristina never made it in to post about last weekends party, so I will just give you a brief bit on it. We had one heck of a crowd, and the pinata was a blast. I don't think there were too many empty chairs in the house and everyone just had an awesome time.

This past Friday we had 2 new couples, welcome to all of you. The party was small but still nice. We hope everyone had a good time.

Saturday was just another awesome party. It started out slow, a lot of people were out enjoying that beautiful weather we had. Once the sun went down though everyone came in and we just had a ball. The pole Dance competition took a little coaxing to get people started but once they got going we had a ball. We had 4 men and I believe 7 ladies compete, by applause C was our overall winner, but we thought the guys were just such great sports and we're really brave about getting out there we let everyone decide on a winner just for the men. So we had 2 winners C and M, M is the male 1/2 of one of our newer couples, he also won the sexy buns contest a few weeks back. Both of our winners got themselves a free party. We also gave out participation prizes too all of our contestants. So congrats to everyone that was brave enough to get up there and show us your sexy sides.

I'd like to welcome our 3 new couples from Saturday night as well, we hope all of you also had a great time and will come back and see us soon.

Just a few other things, next Saturday is our wet t-shirt contest, this is always a big hit and I'm sure this one will be no different. So come on our, we'll even give you the shirts and let you cut them up however you like.

The last Day we will accept reservations for Memorial Day weekend will be May 19th, you can either e-mail your reservations to reservations@meetingplacemichigan.com or sign up at the party on the bulletin board. Making a reservation for the whole weekend gives you a discount price. See the events page of the website for all the details. This year compared to years past, we will have activities going on all Day and night long. We already have the decks outside ready to be used, we'll have food on the grill and it should just be a great time.

I know Kristina said she wanted to post this week about Saturday's party and I'm going to let her do that. I just wanted to get in a quick post about Friday and maybe a little more. Friday we had an excellent party. We had a new single lady join us, and I think she had a really good time. I hope we all answered all of your questions.

I think we had 8 couples and 2 singles join us for Friday's party. We all sat and talked and just got to know one another better. We heard the group in the back of the room just laughing and having a good time. A couple of couples played some cards and before we knew it everyone was upstairs having a good time, well at least I hope they had a good time. LOL

A couple of Friday night's couples joined us again Saturday night, and Saturday the party was just so awesome. I will let Kristina fill you in on the details but I just want to welcome all of the new people that joined us, we hope you had an excellent time, I know I enjoyed meeting and talking with all of you. If I missed you I apologize, there were so many new couples I know I missed a few, I hope that was because you were off having fun and I just didn't see you in the meeting area.

We have some great events coming up for the rest of the month so check the calendar and pick your favorites. Don't forget if your planning on joining us for Memorial Day weekend to get your reservations in now, this is looking like it may be our biggest party of the year thus far, bigger than New Year's, so reserve your spots before May 18th to get the discount of the whole weekend. Sorry we do not offer discounts for individual night reservations, they are still welcome however, it does help us in planning for food and just having an idea of how many we will have for the night. If you didn't make a reservation though please feel free to just show up if you are a couple or single female, we always make sure we have lots of extra to go around. Single Males you need to make a reservation or there will be no space by the time the weekend comes along.

That's all from me, look for Kristina's post and everyone have a great week.

Friday night we had a nice party, I think we had 9 couples, and a couple of those we new, so welcome to the club. Friday's have sort of become the night to come in, really get to know people, maybe play a game of cards, or some dice and just kind of relax and have a good time. That's just what everyone did.

Saturday night we all had a blast with pictionary. We played until we ran out of phrases, and everyone had a good time. Instead of numbers for teams this time we had a picture on everyone's name tags and we're happy to report the aliens won. The other three teams did a good job too, the aliens are just a bit kinkier than the rest.....lol.

After the game Dave got the crowd up dancing and just everyone had a great time. He was having so much fun watching everyone on the dance floor he stayed DJing way past his time and the party just kept going.

We had a new couple Saturday night, welcome to you, as well as a bunch of faces we haven't seen in a while. It's so nice to see so many of the older club members returning after some time away, we hope you keep coming back now to visit more often.

I personally want to say thank you to everyone for the compliments on the changes to the club, the feedback really helps keep us motivated to keep going forward with everything, and knowing you are all really liking it makes it that much easier for all the staff members to do so. We have some smaller projects in the works (right now it's getting everything outside ready for Memorial Day Weekend), and if you've been to the club in the past few months you all know we have been working hard to raise the money to replace the dance floor, and with all of your help we are getting there. We appreciate all of you participating in the raffles and hope you continue to enjoy them, and to those of you who came right out and made a donation, thank you so much it's greatly appreciated. Phyllis and the staff will continue working hard to make TMP the best on premise club around for everyone.

I do have one last subject to touch on, the staff realizes, especially with new couples, that sometimes having a drink or 2 calms your nerves, and we don't have a problem with a drink or 2. When drinking becomes excessive though it usually turns into problems. The club is BYOB, so we really can't control the alcohol consumption, that is up to you, but we will ask people who seem to have a problem with the excessive drinking to find another place to do so at in the future. If you find you need to drink to excess just to be there, or to play, then maybe this lifestyle just isn't right for you. There's nothing worse than going up to play with someone who suddenly gets sick because they've had too much to drink. The staff doesn't appreciate having to clean it up and it generally upsets the play partners. There have also been a lot of accidents downstairs due to someone whose drunk and knocking over tables or drinks, we don't want to see anything get broken or anyone hurt because someone felt so uncomfortable at a party they needed to be drunk to be there. So please control the amount of alcohol you and/or your partner consume, or you may find we are asking you to go sleep it off and then telling you not to come back. It's not fair to the staff or the couples around you who have to put up with drunken behavior, and it will not be tolerated.

Thanks everyone,
Don't forget this Saturday is Cinco De Mayo and we are having a Fiesta, complete with food and a pinata filled with goodies.
See you all there
Trish
