Hello my name is mickimichele and I am your host for this months munch/mixer.
For all of you in the lifestyle I am sure you have attended at least one brunch, munch or mixer. SIR and I were asked a few months ago to become board members of a local group and we happily accepted. One of the things we gladly volunteered to do was host the monthly brunch and to give the people who had been hosting it a break. Our first brunch was held in February…and to say it was a dismal failure was an understatement…in my opinion. I was expecting (wrongly) that the person who usually hosted the brunch to continue coming up with the topic and moderating the brunch. (I would gladly host it at our home, and provide brunch!) Someone else on the board came up with a topic…and while it sounded like a good topic, it was not something I had much knowledge of, and was really expecting to hear what others had to say… so that I could at least put my two cents worth in. Anyway…not one person wanted to say anything. It was strange and un-nerving because we know most of the people there, at least on a speaking basis. To say I was unprepared to moderate the topic does not even begin to cover my inadeqecy. (To boot the person who had suggested the topic as it was posted on our local BDSM board, did NOT make it to the brunch.)
SOOOOOOOO……that leaves me in my current state which is frantic for a topic for this month as I do not want a repeat of Februarys fiasco. (Brunch is this SUNDAY!!) Our brunch for March was a very laid back affair with just 3 others besides SIR and myself, and with all that had happened last month (see last post) I was not too worried about not having a topic it was nice having the 3 who did show up and we spoke of different BDSM things. I have already had enough RSVP’s that it will be a decent size group this month I think, and I want it to go well. I am asking for suggestions for a topic. Or suggestions for something that would interest you, if you were to attend the brunch. This group is open to all who are interested in the lifestyle, its not just for Switches, Doms, Masters, slaves, and subs. So if someone is interested in the lifestyle, they can attend, and learn more. So with those parameters, does anyone have any ideas? Want to share? Please feel free to comment or e-mail me if you would like or if you would rather me not post your reply/comment, but would like to make a suggestion…please feel free. I welcome all comments. (Yes I know its hypothetical to think that you guys would come to my brunch… but if you were in the same town…you might!!)
To think, I thought it was as simple as providing a place to have the meeting, and feeding everyone….that would be a piece of cake! The topic thing keeps throwing me….me of all people. It just baffles me.
Some days I still feel like a true newbie at all this. HELP!!
Topics anyone…suggestions for me?
