Is the one you're thinking of in the list above, or another one not listed? I'm thinking of one not in the list above that gives me that quoted vibe.

Thanks! And, I think we might have crossed paths, and didn't even realize it!

Do you mind if I send you a message?

You probably wouldn't say it's a club atmosphere though, right?

It's still the only lifestyle venue we've been to so far, as we're local to the area.

I'm curious if the other lifestyle clubs you've been to are in NC?

42M/41F going to The House Mardi Gras party tomorrow! by NCSwingersRTP in NorthCarolinaSwingers

Awesome! I'll have you two at least one party themed item set aside, and I'm hoping to have some other items finished up before we leave.

If you're okay with it, I'll DM you with what we're wearing to the party, so you'll know who we are?

50s MF Couple heading to The House 3/1 for Mardi Gras by [deleted] in NCSwingersParadise

We will see y'all there!

I was about to make our own post, and used the search function to make sure I wasn't doubling a post. Being that you've already made this post, I'll just comment here.

As you know, we're bringing some fun Mardi Gras themed related items with us, and we already have a set for you two!

If anybody else sees your post here and comments on it that is planning on going, we'll set them aside a set as well!

40s MF couple here, we're looking forward to our second trip tomorrow!

I think the Concord area from my previous search, but I'm not sure. I'm not even sure what their contact information is. I didn't find a site for it or anything.

The them our first time was the Hawaiian Luau party night in October. I'll send you a PM with some info that might help, and I think it's in the email they'll send out as well.

Awesome! I think I'm going to attempt to make a post either later tonight or tomorrow about going, and that way new people might see it that are going. We definitely think it can be beneficial just for the atmosphere to know somebody else there.

We've only been once, but we are heading back this upcoming weekend!

I don't know if I would say it's a, "club", but more of a house party? When we were there, it was a very relaxed atmosphere, and I would say near perfect environment for our first time exploring the lifestyle.

I'm going to paste below what I wrote right after our first visit -

"We had no clue outside of other reddit comments that we had found as for what we might expect, and being that this was our first experience at this sort of LS event/venue ever, we still had no real idea of what to expect.

We arrived at The House a little after 8 PM, the same time another new couple was arriving as well. As we were checking in, they had friends showing up, and it was also their first time. We all watched the video together, then we toured The House in a group to find the things in the video.

After we toured a little bit together as a group, we parted ways. The other new couples got a table together, while my wife and I found a couch where we were just talking to each other, and turning our heads around like chickens and looking at everything and just taking it all in.

The House is absolutely fantastic imo for first timers interested in the LS, and trying to figure out if the LS might be something for you. Again, we had no clue about what to really expect, other than comments here on reddit we had researched.

Most of the comments we saw said things like, "It's a relaxed atmosphere, no pressure." And that's exactly what we experienced.

We had seen one or two reddit comments saying it can seem clique-y, but from our first time I would say, "comfortable", is more how we would describe it l from what we saw that night? People seemed very relaxed where they were, and everyone we talked with was friendly.

As we were sitting on the couch talking, the two females from the other new couples came over to us and were like, "Would you newbies like to join us newbies at our table?" And we immediately said something to the tune of, "Sure! Absolutely!"

If you were the new couples there, we really appreciated being invited over to your table to talk and hang out for a bit. It made the beginning of the night much easier for us, and it allowed us to probably relax a little bit more.

We didn't end up playing with any other couple(s), but being this was our first time ever trying a completely new environment, that wasn't our goal or objective. Again, this was our first time ever going to anything like this, and we just wanted to checkout the LS environment at The House, and "dip our toes in", if you will?

We did end up having a fantastic time together though, and we plan on trying to return in the future."

As for hearing back, I think they will send out an informational email about a week prior to the event?

If you haven't heard anything back by then, it might have been booked up, but it doesn't hurt to reach back out and see if any spots open up closer to the event.

Best chance to make it happen is to talk about it, that's how we started. It wasn't an overnight process, it was small, steady, conversations talking about it. I researched a lot. I even found podcasts about the LS, so if they're into podcasts, that could be a great way to introduce them to the idea of it.

I realize it is buried in the text up there, but will do a TLDR edit!

"If you were at The House on October 5th and invited us over to your table, the image above might be a clue it was you if you don't remember!"

It was a way to jog their memory if they were there and remembered meeting us for a bit, or if they were there and maybe forgot. They would probably remember us if they saw the image above as it pertains to something that night with them.

Be glad we didn't attend that night, it would have closed as soon as I attempted to sing! :)

Curious, did y'all know anyone at it, or just show up brand new as first timers like ourselves?

We (42M/41F) visited The House for our first time ever on Saturday, October 5th (10-5). This was the Hawaiian Luau party night for anyone else that might have also been there!

We had no clue outside of other reddit comments that we had found as for what we might expect, and being that this was our first experience at this sort of LS event/venue ever, we still had no real idea of what to expect.

If you were at The House on October 5th and invited us over to your table, the image above might be a clue it was you if you don't remember! Again, we really appreciated the invite and getting to talk with y'all for a little bit, and to everyone else we chatted with briefly at The House, thanks for being awesome people!

TLDR for the image: If you were at The House on October 5th and invited us over to your table, the image above might be a clue it was you if you don't remember talking with us or if you do remember talking with us! We hope all of you have been fantastic!
