The time and venue has been set. You have my personal assurance that this might not be the best, but definitely has the potential to be the most scandalous SM meet-up EVER. The last L.A. meet-up was planned by Taz and was a great success (and quite wholesome). This time around…well, I’m in charge. Since we are closing down SM’s Los Angeles Bureau within 10 days, this is a “can’t miss” event.

Who: Bloggers, readers, commenters, lurkers, and…groupies

Where: Nirvana Lounge in Beverly Hills

When: Friday Dec. 15th at 8p.m.

So what does this venue have to offer that isn’t evident from the picture I provide above? I’m telling you, this place has mangoes and peacocks all over the joint (not to mention an enormous Buddha head in the back there). It also provides us with three levels of gastronomical service:

* FOREPLAY
* LOSS OF INNOCENCE
* SENSUOUS PLEASURES

My philosophy as an event planner has always been that in order to host a good party you need to first properly envision a good party. You need to think to yourself “this is what I need to do to throw a good event AND this is how it will “look” if the event is to be successful.”

The painting below (found on one of Nirvana’s walls) epitomizes in my mind what a successful SM meet-up would “look” like:

But really folks, the beauty of SM meet-ups is that everyone has a good time, even if their vision of an ideal meet-up does not match mine. In the end it is really about about chillin’ with good new people and talking about the important issues of our time while lounging on beds and eating.
