I've sent out & had a few emails sent to me re this topic, & am wrapped to hear the support of others regards such an idea.
(thanks for your feedback, you all know who)
At this point, for the sake of the integrity of the subject, & my interest in the possibility for such an event happening, I feel it's important to offer the following points from one of these emails;
"I guess you could say we're 'cautiously enthusiastic'........However - I will (be) very interested in how you go with it all. If we were to go to a private event yours would probably be the perfect one ... yay, bluelighters on our wavelength! Sounds like heaven.
Please let me know your progress & keep me updated.
Best of luck to you and your partner
Kind Regards,".
It doesn't matter who it was, the email was sent to me & as such, afforded the identity of the sender as much respect for privacy as I'd want.
My point is this, I too would want to go to a gig that, as quoted within the above, "If we were to go to a private event yours would probably be the perfect one".
To be honest AND realistic, I don't know that I'm networked, driven, & as a parent in a relationship, have the time enough to get such an event happening.
I see the existence of such an event as being a luxury, a choice, an exploration, not the creation of it.
Although, I do recognise that without discussion AND 'grass roots' support, it's not likely to happen.
While it's not a priority in life to get this happening, I'd love the option to consider & discuss it with my partner!
I'd rather have this gig was an available option, as opposed to the compromises that exist (& so far, it seems most would agree).
More to the point, many fine things have created by a few people having an idea for something that's not presently out there.
Be it a belief, a venue, a public place, or indeed a global website for sharing ideas (such as bluelight)
A catalyst, by its very nature is not the sum total.
By who & how bluelight was begun, it couldn't have been only one person doing it all.
Just as it's highly unlikely that I'm the first person to have considered a gig that sounds like this.
Where there is a need, there's often an answer, like bluelight, it's often better that it's started by enough like-minded people, rather than 'grabbed' by a commercial interest.
Even it's a one-off event, it doesn't matter, if it has the support, if it meets that need, dare I say it if it fills the gap, it can & probably will continue.
Is there a venue owner, or does someone know one re the following:
If it's to go commercial, let it not be too much so, after all, it sounds like it'd have a lot of very fine aspects for an owner of an appropriate venue. ie, how many people are going to want to leave such an event, if it meets the needs proposed & supported by the above posts.
How many people are going to want to be on the invite list to such an event?
Also given my few experiences at swingers gigs, hassles, fights & tension have, from what I've seen NEVER been an issue.
How select could it be kept, without the need to be too exclusive.
Is there an operator of an existing swingers club, or someone who knows one who can see merit in this.
Is there someone out there who knows someone who owns a house with facilities that'd suit such a night. (damn I used to live in a house that had heaps of rooms, shag pile rugs throughout & a King-size bed built into a bay window overlooking a garden with a very high fence!)
Remember----catalyst----, therefore
I do like it that, if this is meant to work, then somehow it will.
Please do either email me, or add posts here if you have any advice, input or requests re this.
Would love to have the option, the choice to see you at such a gig.
With fun & consideration,
Dingodoof
