I am officially a San Francisco resident. I have adjusted to the hills and the fog (mostly) but I need a primer on west coast group dynamics. Help me calibrate?
Lead time:
Does the Bay Area plan its debauchery like a board meeting or a startup pivot (spontaneously)? What is the ideal runway to ensure a full roster? Two months or two weeks?
Location:
What hotels offer the holy trinity of soundproofing, discretion, and suites large enough to accommodate a crowd? I need a venue that doesn't require elevator key access and turns an approving (or at least blind) eye to our proclivities.
Density:
A previous event involved 14 gentlemen, with a rotating cast of about 9 active participants in the room at peak intensity. Is there a local appetite for this kind of volume? More or less?
Viagra:
A question of etiquette: Is there a graceful way to encourage the use of Viagra/Cialis beforehand? I really mean to say, is there a way to ask the question without causing insult or hurt feelings. This is a meaningful question generally, I think.
I appreciate your help, I really do.
West coast eccentricities:
Anything I missed, please pile on. I'm new to the bay.
