if you all really want to have one, you will figure it out. it really isnt that difficult to do. the toughest part is screening and keeping up w/ emails.
in a land far far away a long time ago,
a few people posted a msg stating "want to be on the distribution list for gatherings? then email me." they screened very thoroughly and only added good upstanding folks to the list.
then when they got ready to have a gathering, they located a place, figured out food prices, then invited folks. men paid anywhere from $30-40 and women got in free. NO hanky-panky was allowed, nor was rudeness, illegal substances, etc.
the gathering would last from 3-4 hrs, depending on how things went. mostly just visiting, catching up, meeting new folks, talking about all manner of things.
some folks who attended had a private interlude BEFORE or AFTER the gathering, but it was not at all allowed during the gathering. contact info or board ids might be exchanged, but actual setting of private interludes were not allowed.
if the gathering was a private venue, there might have been some nudity, but that's about it.
redwolf, if you want more info on how that species of being held their gatherings, let me know and i'll pass along info.
