Over half a year ago, during a discussion about the post “Hiding in Plain Sight“, someone brought up the following as a reason to keep kink events hidden: There is also, I think, a quite legitimate desire to not have to deal with “tourists” – and if the BDSM/Kink community wants a idea of what

I went to an anime convention recently (yes, feel free to roll your eyes and judge accordingly) and had a wonderful time. There were so many people there who were so dedicated to dressing up in character and being someone they truly enjoyed. It was a moment in time where they could be around others

Your little munch group has been growing. You have added a few other types of activities and there is talk of collecting dues to enable the group to do more things, or to perhaps even host a BDSM conference.
