While things have been somewhat slow in the forums, the play time activity this time of year seems to be off the wall and I hope it is the same for others in their areas. Halloween is one of those peak times, but even a month or so before it has been event filled. We had one week a month ago where we attended 3 parties in a 7-day span.
Up coming, there is a party next Sat we can't make because we'll be at our timeshare, but posted Hot Dates for the timehare area, so we'll see. The weekend after that is our Halloween party that's looking like it will easily be 50+ guests, then another Halloweeen party on the 31st.
One year we had a party right after Thanksgiving and made it a "Leftover Thanksgiving Dinner Pot Luck" that worked well, but will be unable to do that this year. It really has to be the Sat right after so the leftovers are still reasonably fresh. Of course, nobody is coming to the party for the food, but it does make the pot luck part that much easier. Last time I think we cooked anoter turkey just for the party.
There are of course plenty of Christmas and New Years parties, and one of the hosts we know got a new venue and it's looking like she'll be having 2-3 parties a month. These are SM friendly parties, which we prefer. We have another friend that does weekday parties, but this time of year he's in Florida.
All of this is in addition to our regulars on Tuesdays and it's around this time of year that our regular Thursday couple frees up. We do still meet new people from the site as well and have started something new for us, which is having a guy over on occasion to do a MFM with the Mrs. Did one Fri with the male half of a LS couple we know well. Still looking to get 3 or 4 reliable guys that can work well with each other to maybe give the Mrs a small gangbang once a month or so.
Some people do a regular vanilla thing like a bowling league, pool night, darts, bingo, etc. For us, this is kind of like the LS version of that, but wouldn't rule out some fun vanilla activities thrown in.
Today we have another LS couple we're close with coming over for dinner, cards, and some play time. Good way to spend a cloudy dreary Sunday. It's also a good way to get some regular physical activity, health-wise. Plus, this is way more fun than going for a walk, or to the gym.
