I'd attend one in KC if the right person were doing the verifying.

People seem skittish for a number of reasons, certainly, going back to Houston (although CK still to this day promotes and hosts successful events throughout Texas regularly since HPD's infiltration of the Christmas event a few years ago). However, there were more than one (somewhat informal) gatherings in KCMO that were held at a local 'watering hole' much more recently where LE was not only in attendance, but also was seen to capture license plate information with their high speed trunk mounted camera system, detailing every vehicle within a four or five block radius of the event during the meeting. KC seems to be playing for keeps with M&Gs, using them to build and bolster their database of activity related to this business. This information I am speaking of is verifiable and is a mater of public record in recent proceedings in several prosecutions. Admittedly, LE may
claim to not be focusing directly on this endeavor and they may be looking for ancillary felony violations that unfortunately sometimes still accompany the "hobby", but in any instance, it seems risky in many situations to have one's vehicle and license plate recorded and then possibly "viewed" again in a hotel parking lot or at an apartment complex, etc. - and this has happened on both sides of the state line.
That said, however, I have access to a location that is approachable by several different routes, has private, off street parking where vehicles may not be seen without one infringing several hundred feet onto the property, and as it is private property, no one can legally enter the grounds without an invitation, a warrant or sans probable cause. I had been thinking of putting together a little something myself with a few other ladies, perhaps even a recurring event. I like the idea of gentlemen that may be interested in engaging a date with me having the opportunity to meet me socially if they would choose, prior to making a booking. If you'd like more information about this location, I'd be delighted to pass it along to you. Done correctly, these types of meetings should be of little issue and incur minimal risk . . . I have spent quite a lot of time considering how to make everyone as safe as possible even if (when) the information about the meeting were to "leak", which inevitably, it seems it always does. Using the location I have secured, LE would have to place themselves on a public highway blocking the flow of traffic to get any usable data as the location is that isolated. Additionally, as it is not in any incorporated city in the metro, it provides the added protection of being far enough away that budget constraints may prohibit LE's continued interest.
