Did anyone else think that this party really SUCKED? Not only was it very dark, but the seating was far and few, and everyone was so spread out that you couldnt figure who was at the party or who was just at the bar. I have been to a couple of these parties and each time I have found the same thing - they are VERY clicky. If you dont know anyone then you really just stand around watching, and when you try to mingle if you arent a perfect 10 it is like you have the plague. Or you are pushed over to the girls that look like they have boned everyone at the party. Just my thought - I havent been to a house party but if they are like going to a highschool dance I think I will pass there too.
we have been to a few of them and each one has been different, but this last one we were able to find a lighted spot chat with some pepole and able to hear them when they spoke.
so this last one was fine. no real complaintes.

Sorry you had such a bad time. Vortex does have a unique layout but we think it keeps it interesting and different from the rest. We're just wondering if you actually made an effort to meet people because we really enjoyed our night! Sure there were parts of the club that were rather dark but there were plenty of areas with light too. As far as not being able to tell who was at the party and who was at the bar, the private party area was definitivley seperate from the open club area and we thought staff did a great job of keeping uninvited people out. It was easy to tell who was there for the party. One, look for the red wristband. Two, either you were in the party area or you weren't. As far as people being cliquey, yes there are quite a few circles of friends who tend to socialize together but that's true anywhere you go. You hang out with who you know. Either way, we found everyone open to at least introductions and we look forward to the next party.
A Special thanks to the Admin, M&M and everyone else who had a hand in putting together what turned out to be, at least for us, a fun night! Joe & Becky

I know it must be hard to find a venue that will acomidate this lifestyle on saturday nights.
But we agree with pinkfluf. That place was bad for groups. And for us newbees it hard enough to get started and find other couples. But every one is in their little groups . The couples thathave been in the lifestyle for a while and know alot of the couples there and are more comfortable should take some time to welcome the newbees and who knows we might just hit it off and become great friends too. We would like to thank every one who sets up the spice parties we know its not easy work.

I know it was a lot of work to put it together and that it went well. But the lighting was so bad and there where only a few seats, We did try to talk to others but I like to see who we are talking to and the setup just made it hard to do that. But a thumbs up for putting the party together. We'll be back.
We're new too. We have only met two couples!! One before the party and one at the party. It's hard to actually meet people. We had a great time. I can't wait to go again!!
Its only clisks if u dont know anybody. Plus if u dont have a pix how will people ,knw but ur right.......... but hey lets think do u know alot of people tht wld go to another race as well???? please think people we love all kinds....If u want to know the truth Connie Hawkins is my cousin if u know he is
Just an idea. Even the wife and I have talked about this. When we first started in the L/S back in NC. We went to hotel Parties. Then a cpl from FL baught a house just for swinger parties. They didnt live there just opened it up on sat. for swingers. It was privite house so you didnt have to worry about cops and you could pretty much do as you like. We had a good time at the V but did not like the fact that on the dance floor there was a wall of guys just stairing you down. I know Ut has its own rules. Lets just get a house. 
for us all to meet.
for us all to meet.To the staff that put the party on... THANK YOU. We had a great time.
Just a few comments.
The Party was FREE.... for the price we paid.. it was terrific !!!
Finding a club or venue that will tolerate a group of people in lifestyles with the numbers that come and still provide entertainment and service is not that easy in this State. We have been to other clubs and parties, and yes there are other parties for people in lifestyles at other places. For us.. we are just glad that someone is willing to try and put on some of these parties.. we appreciate them, we have fun at them, we support them.
At the Vortex party, we met several people we have never met before.. if they read this.. thank you for introducing yourself and letting us know who you are. It was good to meet you. It takes some courage to say hi to a stranger.. but thats where it all begins. DONT be affraid to say hello at these parties... no one was rude to us. Everyone we met was great. (We know there are groups that band together .. cliques, but its mostly because they have something in common,, age, jobs, interests... but none of them we have seen wont give you a big hug and a friendly greeting if you try to meet them).
If someone gives you lemons, make lemonade. There will never be a party that is perfect, and if we continue to pick them to pieces, eventually no one will want the abuse that comes along with trying to host one. Rather, come up with some solutions for the next party, be willing to help make it better for everyone. I gaurantee you will meet alot more people that way.
Last of all... there was an animated story call the POINT may years ago. One of our favorite lines in that show went something like this. "You see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear."
We look forward to the next party, and the next and the next. And to the administrators... we thank you, offer our support and hope to see you again soon.
Hugs and kisses all.

I am new to this as well & newly single. It's even harder for a single person to "fit " in. I get alot of responses but, it's hard to decide which ones to respond back to. I really just joined to meet new friends with like minds. That doesn't always meen SEX! I would really just love to meet people just to hang out with to. Of course, don't get me wrong, if there ends up being sex than that's great to. The only bad thing is, after the sex, still being friends & hanging out. I have hooked up with 2 couples & 1 single female so far. And gone to 1 house party & the Vortex party. I am having alot of fun!! I'm sorry you had a bad time, but if you don't like the lighting issue then going to a club is usually not the best place to go. I had a great time at the party, especially dancing in the cages upstairs & I will defenitely be at the next one! Thank you to Admin & everyone who put it together.
This was our first party, and yes its a little intimidating, we're just grateful that there are so many people who are nice right from the first moment. We had a great time and we met quite a few new friends, and we had a great time on the dance floor.
Many Thanks to those who worked hard to put together a party when you know you cant please everyone.
