Pittsburgh GRUE

Kinko De Mayo was this last weekend. I am trying to catch up.

DoNotGoGently organized the Pittsburgh GRUE. I have been to more then several GRUEs in other cities, some as far as San Diego. It was wonderful not having a concerns for travel, hotel and other logistics.

The meet and greet was done at a restaurant. When my friends and I arrived, we had a set of tables in a good area assigned apparently. It seemed like this would be good for communication and socializing and it was. It had been a long time since I had been this particular spot.

The next day was the GRUE. The sessions were great.

I was especially proud of my playmate and a friend. They organized a neko/kitty session and combined it with a little. I couldn't help but asking questions and learning. This is why GRUEs are so good.

Later, I went to a session on "BDSM and dance". I was stuck in a rope centric mind set with rope dancing. This made me think outside of the box and I learned about the improvisational impact dance. Another fantastic win!

At other groups I have started sessions on various subjects, this time I gave a shot at doing a suspension and talking about how to use it and play with the mind. It was a good learning experience. I got some suggestions from others such as setting up a second set of ropes and letting them fall into them as a wicked idea. Alas, I also learned that doing a advance rope work is very personal, very focused and too difficult to mentally share in a class or audience situation.

I can teach rope basics but mixing what I love to do kink wise with something more complex that is like work isn't me. I don't need to be known as a presenter. I don't need to work my kink. I just want to have hot sexy fun.

We did the closing circle. It is good to have positive energy spoken from the heart at this time. I think this was the first one for me where someone read from their phone something poetry like and composed earlier. It was entertaining but weird.

The play party was fun. It was split in two with the second part being at someone's lovely house. I did some floor work and slowed down my lovely playmate from escaping the second time. She is such a good eel about getting out of rope. After that, we were both tired and went home to her place.
 
 In the morning, we went over and had Graydancer's cheap ass pancakes and did more socializing. It was enjoyable to meet, talk and say good bye to many good people.
