While the turnout was lighter than usual or expected, those who did show made it a great party.
A shoutout to rockson99 who covered for me at the front desk whenever I needed a break - thx man!
The usual suspects, besides TBM, TTO, DBC (yours truly)and Rockson99: Waterclone, Beaner542, Cirano, Vadhaman, BK57, et al.
We had some newcomers to the mixer, notably Destiny (as in DestinyDelight), looking very sexy in white. I look forward to my next chance for a session with her.
Other lovely ladies: Jessica Lynn, Lianna (WooHoo!) Gerrit, Diana Love, Johanna Potente, Lina (DDDBabe), Lauren Rose, Best Blonde award goes to the Lady In Red Chloe Carter.
Apologies to all those whose names I missed (and I know I missed a helluva lot) - beer memory got the best of me.
To those of you who NCNS'd, both ladies and gentlemen - a big Bronx cheer PFTHTHTHTHTHT! You missed a great party.
Once again, we closed out the party. As for the usual suspects such as Black Lab...sharing intel about friends and enemies is always a good thing.
Beyond that, first and only mention belongs to the ladies, whom, despite the less than usual overall attendance, were as always gorgeous and beautiful. I would be remiss if I didn't say it was great to see the lovely Lianna Gerrit again after all these months. A pre-Christmas rendezvous is in order. There were two of the Florida party ladies, Shyla and Esmeralda, that it was great to see again as well. Also, Jessica Lynn, Chloe Carter, Lina, Jennifer, Sophie, Lauren Rose, Raquelroxx from Seattle, Amanda Manhattan...lots of great ladies in attendance. My pick for blond of the evening is Katie...another lady whom is on my A-list for rendezvous sometime soon. Missing in action were my lovely friends Octavia and LB...hope everything is OK with them.
It's now officially late, time to sign off until tomorrow...
Now I'm even sorrier I missed it. Glad to hear Lianna is back. I wondered about her and just tried to get in touch. Didn't think Destiny would be back yet and sorry I missed her, too, also Katie. Wasn't the very hot Devin Davette there, too? Hope to see all of them before year end.
The ladies turned out in force and looked GREAT ! Serious A-List talent including several LEGENDS - Chloe Carter ! , Sophia Russo and Megan Knox , Esmeralda, Shyla , Soraya Leon, Larissa Pearla , Kendall Lynn, Devin Davette , Destiny Delight , Kayla Sunshine and the list goes on and on BUT - Where were the guys ? I felt so sorry for TBM and TTO. They deserved so much better. I know better than most how much time and effort it takes to pull off a good event. My best guesstimate is that at best 50 guys showed up and it looked like it might have been fewer than that. Wtf ?
If you guys want to see future events like this then you MUST be more supportive and show up. The ladies have nothing to apologize for. They showed up in both numbers and quality and looked awesome.
I've suggested to TBM that he start keeping track of the chronic "No-Shows" and delete them. Maybe downsize the event if he has to. Even go to a cash bar if he must. It would be a shame but there is no reason he has to take a bath.
You are so right!! Dinner took longer than expected, but I wanted to get there to support the good work of TBM. Sorry for only staying a half hour. Will plan better for the next one.
i concur with vadhaman here about the no shows and lower than expected turn out. i myself had to leave early and then not return til later but even at that it was clear there were more than a few no-shows. and i'm going farther than vadahman here and say it wasn't just the guys list. there were ladies on the yes list who definitely didn't make an appearance. Of course it was great seeing TBM, a slimmed down TTO-good job, DBC, vadhaman and a few others. due to my coming and going the only lady i had the chance to chat up was Kendall Lynn, of course no complaints there. always a pleasure. but i believe the low turn out did also contribute to Kendall being the only lady i spoke with. In the past i have either made an arrangement that night or made an appointment with a lady from the meet and greet in the next few days or so. but because it seemed most were paired up when i was there i left sans lady and no plans that night or any plans on seeing anyone in the future. not knocking the ladies who showed, in fact thank you, but there does seem to be a lack of follow up for the mixers of late, from both men and ladies. I hope TBM and TTO didn't have to foot any of the bill. and I agree that in the future maybe a scaled back version might be better suited. just thinking out loud. but again thanks to any who did show support. c
We didn't get bathed, but I will address these issues a little more on separate thread. Right now, I am just happy that we were able to bring part of our community together for a fun night. My positive thoughts are still weighing heavily on my mind, but rethinking the way the mixers are run may be in order.
I am very glad you didn't get soaked. If I get a vote, I like the location you just used over the other one. I am sure the Mixers will continue but I just think you should tweak things if you have to. No-shows happen with EVERY event. Many are nobody's fault = life happens. It just looked to me like the GUYS really fell down this time. Their loss and more's the pity because the talent level of the LADIES was probably the best EVER ! I can't recall a MIXER with so many A-List Legends and near -Legends in attendance. In my hosting, I keep a list of chronic "No-Shows" and they are shut out unless they apologize and mend their ways. I am VERY lenient and forgiving. But it is important for folks to understand that the hosts are not running a charitable operation i.e. they are entitled to cover their out of pocket expenses. In response to a poll, I have gone from open to cash bar. It holds down the door fee and cuts the up-front cost.
A lot of times, big events seem to have way more men than women. I always thought that was odd with the guys paying and the women getting in for free. You would think it would be the other way around.
I got there late and don't know how the numbers played out, but it seemed like the numbers were closer to even, still with men out numbering the women. As an attendee, I thought the numbers worked out nicely.
My only complaint would be that the place played the music too loud. It's not a dance club. It's a mixer and everyone is there to talk to each other. But I much prefer this venue over the west side location, and enjoyed the party very much, as always.
Agree with waterclone all the way - music too loud but I like the place much better than the West Side.

It was truly a pleasure to see you again, DBC! I hope we get together again soon!
Fresh off the plane from China , I was happy to see new and old friends. Please forgive me if I didn't get the chance to say hello. Very dry contacts and a bit sleepy, I had to come VERY close to people to recognize them. Luckily, no one seemed to mind. .. I hope.
The attendees were warm and welcoming and I would go again in a heartbeat. The women were amazingly gorgeous and friendly. I love putting faces to the names I have heard.
Thank you so much for the party, TBM, DBC, and TTO!
Big thanks to TTO for all of his help throughout the process, to DBC and my buddy Rockson99 for helping at the check in desk.
Even with a lower then expected attendance, we had plenty of hot providers and gentlemen, all who made it a good night in the big apple. I appreciate each and every person who attended.
Thanks again to all who showed up and made it a great evening
I concur and being a newbie was delighted to see so many of my favorites attend especially the mesmerizing Esmeralda...At first I didn't know who she was and was just drawn to her like a moth to a flame....lol Good laughs, Great time!!!
I got to hook up with Soraya for a fun time back at her place. She has that exotic look to her like Alena Lamore. I met Shyla and we hooked up the next morning before she left for Florida. OMG! Destiny, you looked so so amazing and we have to hook up again. Seriously, these parties can lead to great hook ups! thx TBM
Thanks for putting these mixers together. Really good time. Met some hot women and reconnected with one. Certainly have enough contact numbers now of those I'd really like to see again. But this time in private.
..worth coming to see such great peeps (you all know who you are!) I took the RED-EYE to get my lil' ass to the event and wasn't disappointed in any way,shape or form. Such cool guys and fantastic girls!!! thanks to all that contributed and put together a very intimate and lovely party. Kisses to everyone!!!! xxooxoxxo CC
