HMU Academy: Play Parties for Dummies (+ Clothing Swap!)

This Hit Me Up event is open to the public, 21+.

About the Class

Have you ever wanted to attend a play party but didn't even know where to start? Do you even WANT to go?

This class aims to answer some of the pressing, but potentially embarrassing questions about the scene in New York City. It will cover everything from what to wear, to what to bring, and how much room to leave for the cheese plate.

Class will be an hour of presentation to cover all the basics, followed by a designated period for Q+A. After please stick around for wine and snacks, as Tide will set up a typical HMU party layout so you can mingle in a clothes on, non play, but sexy environment.

This is your chance to tour a working dungeon in a laid-back atmosphere, without having to worry about walking into someone's back swing.

This time, the class will also include entrance to the HMU clothing swap happening the same evening! This is a great chance to meet HMU members, and maybe pick up some lightly used gear for yourself!

FAQs

FAQ: what should I bring?

Yourself! (And for this time if you would like, clothes for the optional clothing swap)

FAQ: any skill pre-requisites? (i.e., is this for beginners, advanced, everyone?)

This class assumes no knowledge so it is very much for beginners!

FAQ: what should I wear?

Casual! This is not a play event, the venue will be set at the end to get an experience for what it's like but play will not be allowed.

FAQ: can I attend solo, or do I need to come with a partner?

Any and all are welcome
