Ladies night!

That sounds amazing to me... Would definitely love an invite to something like this... But only if I get to meet Ed, otherwise, I'm out...

Ed is a very cool cat.
You know, we've had so many requests from guys who want to join the next party, that I'm actually thinking about doing a soirée with a buy-in... guys all contribute and the ladies split the pot.

Say a few ladies, an equal number of gentlemen, several hours, all-inclusive partner swapping, hot tub, drinks, food.

I've heard about similar events happening in the hobby before, a long time ago. I think it would be fun! Thoughts? Originally Posted by Ginger Doll

Summer and I have had a cocktail planned for about a year now at least. Someone's schedule is always getting in the way of that happening… Either hers or mine.

I can already tell she would be a lot of fun, just from our phone chats!

ECCIE does not, in any way, sponsor or represent social events, meet and greets, or similar activities. On occasion, events may be announced here by our members, however, ECCIE is not associated with or responsible for such events. We are not involved with any related aspects, such as guest selection, screening, or hosting. Should members of our volunteer staff choose to participate in such an event, it should be understood that their personal involvement is of their own choice and responsibility, and in no way connected to their duties here on staff. If you are the host of one of these events, we will allow for ONE "announcement" post to inform the membership, which will be immediately locked to prevent further public discussions regarding the event.

Thanks for your input, Biomed. I'll be sure to check with admin & board owners to make sure I'm within the guidelines before posting it in my ad.

You do what you think is necessary.

As stated in the Guideline, the board is not to be involved with any related aspects of the event.

Until you become a member of Staff, you do not interpret the Guidelines nor do you determine what is or is not in compliance.

Please limit yourself to continued abuse of the RTM button.

Would you say that's an accurate interpretation, Biomed?
