The Crucible Flimflam on a Double-Throuple Date Night…read more So we met up with a dope ass Throuple at BAMM's Karaoke night last Thursday. All six of us caught a vibe but it was a vanilla event so the plan was to go on a double-throuple date Friday night. Not sure who picked it but we decided to meet up at the Crucible. I'm pretty sure it was the first time for all of us so we were excited to try a new place together. According to the event's fine print, the educational talks and demos were scheduled first but then "The Exploratorium" would be open after 11 p.m. I remember specifically reading, "More experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for open play." Well like I said, we had already caught the vibe the night before so we were ready to ride the wave the next night. We arrived at 11:15, dressed to impress and ready to party. The six of us stood in front lobby for a while. Apparently, no alcohol is allowed on the premises so the men had to run the drinks back to the car. I should have been paying attention to the faces of the people exiting or even the fact that folks were leaving soon after arriving. I guess I was so full of anticipation about the good time that I didn't notice. Well after we finally checked in, we were free to walk to the back. There are lockers and a changing area to the left. The restrooms are co-ed. The main hall opens into a large room with a bar and stage. There are several stations scattered about the room. A couple Saint Andrew's crosses, a horse, a canopy bed, a few overhead hooks, etc. To the right, there is a large open "theater" area. I think there were couches in there. And finally in the back left corner, there is a room with a swing and a couple fuckable chairs. I don't recall any music. It was eerily quiet with a weird mix of cocktail hour chatter and whipping noises. The lights were ON! Waaay too bright for an LS environment if you ask me. In fact, the whole setup wasn't really conducive to the type of on-premises fun we were looking for. The open floor plan makes it impossible to have an intimate experience. We walked around but it was difficult to find a place to get comfy with our party of six. I don't know if it was just a feeling we got or the fact that we were just in a new space but it felt like the entire couple watched us walk around and were waiting for us to "go." The crowd was almost entirely white. Maybe 30 people in the room. And we were six tall, sexy, Black people striding around the room in out panties and heels rubbing and groping each other. Even the men were shirtless and glistening! We looked good enough to eat and the crowd was drooling. We made our way to the room on the left with the swing. It's not at all private but at least we could get nasty without being on full display. The six of us started to "go" but the gentleman in the other couple was a little hesitant. He said that something was off so he wanted to check to make sure we could indeed play. He went to find an attendant to confirm that open play was allowed. Well, thats when they hit us with the flimflam. As the tip of my husband's dick just touched the lips of one of the young ladies, the attendant informed us that "absolutely no oral" was allowed on the premises. According to her, while sex on the premises is typically allowed, this was the one night that it was not. I went back and checked the fine print: "More experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for open play." Did I miss something? When they said play did they mean we could have play sex on their equipment? Were we really the only people who expected to "play"? Was there something particularly offensive by our half-naked Black bodies that prevented us from playing? Whatever the case, the Crucible is not swinger friendly at all!! Total waste of money. Date night killer. So basically we paid $100 to look at their equipment and pantomime sex. The shit almost blew our whole double-throuple date. We left for Shadows about 15 minutes after getting there. (The Shadows ripoff story is for another day.) Next time, we'll just go to a hookah lounge. Dance a little. Sip a little. Then we can just get a room. Unless you really really just want to attend educational event, stay away from the Crucible. It is an overrated waste of money.

Please Note: This review is based ONLY on ONE speed-dating event. However, I wanted to provide my…read morepersonal feedback for anyone who may be considering trying one such event. I went after finding a Living Social deal, was highly skeptical, had read mixed reviews. however, my experience was quite positive. The location was nice, the event was extremely well-organized, and I thought it was a good deal after the coupon. Who shows up at these things is a crapshoot, but fortunately, my event was just about even between men and women and I think I met about a dozen men. Looks like I am going to have at least one date as a result. After the event , you get an email within two days (I got it less than 24 hours later) allowing you to make a mini-profile, select those you were interested in and see "mutual matches" and exchange emails through that platform with anyone from the event. Again, I find the whole thing very well organized and I had a good time. My only complaint, like others, is that the event DOES start about 30 minutes after it says (at 7:30) so people who arrive on time or a little "late" end up awkwardly sitting around the bar not sure what to do. Fortunately, I struck up an interesting convo with one of the other ladies attending and enjoyed that. However, I suggest arriving at 7:20 to check in, get a quick drink, and jump ride into the dating!

It was a happy hour and learning-style event, and the space worked incredibly well for both. There was a great balance between areas that encouraged socializing and connecting, while also having comfortable spaces where everyone could sit down and focus during the learning portion. The staff was phenomenal. They were attentive and proactive in a way that stood out. They seemed to anticipate questions before we even had them and made sure everyone knew where things were and felt taken care of throughout the evening. I also ordered the spinach artichoke dip during the class portion of the event and I need to take a moment for that because it was, without exaggeration, the best spinach artichoke dip I have ever had in my life. I'm still thinking about it. A few others at the event also commented on how incredible their dishes were, so kudos to the kitchen because clearly this was not a one-off experience. I'll probably be dreaming about that spinach artichoke dip for a while.

First, it's an ADULT KICKBALL league that focuses more on the social aspects than the actual sport.

I am in the military as well and Dan has been nothing but wonderful when it came to dealing with military issues. Hell, he donated kickball gear that we are sending downrange for the troops to play to have a little fun. How awesome is that?!? You can't go wrong with this group. It is a ton of fun and the people are all great. The parties are a blast and it's a really fun way to meet new people in a neutral environment. I have yet to meet someone I did not like.

My friends and I signed up for the Thursday night winter dodgeball league and, less than a week before the first game, we received an email notifying us that the day of games was changed to Wednesday and the location had changed as well... Well, it turns out most folks on the original team couldn't make Wednesdays (because we're adults who planned to join a Thursday league and not a Wednesday league), so we tried to get in touch with them on a multitude of platforms to request refunds. This is how that went: - 5 of us sent multiple emails to their listed email addresses (info@playnakid.com and dc@playnakid.com) requesting refunds and all of our emails have gone unanswered; - we called the number listed on their website/facebook page/yelp page (855-466-2543) but the number has been disconnected; - I have reached out via the Feedback option on their website, which has been unanswered; - I TWEETED at them...but they haven't posted a new tweet since 2015...and... -I wrote this yelp review - which I don't think will do much good, but I'm frustrated and needed a platform in which to tell the Yelp World about how unorganized, unprofessional and overall shady this organization is. My recommendation: choose another league to throw balls at people's faces!! AND NAKID - GIVE US OUR REFUNDS, DAMMIT.
