the details / getting invited

- events take place every month of the year.
- these parties occur at various times - some in the later afternoon, some in the evening, and some at night.
- each party has three 20 minute arrival windows, so you have flexibility in when to come - and the second and third “waves” always bring new people to meet.
- you can respond to an event several days or weeks beforehand, but if you are more spontaneous, you can respond on the day of the party. in fact, you can even respond up to 30 minutes before a party starts!

location:
- the events are held in a private apartment in the dupont circle neighborhood, located in northwest washington, dc. the actual address will be given to you once you are on the door list for a particular event.

alcohol and drugs:
- these are drug-free events. you may NOT bring any drugs (no crystal, crack, g, k, 420, powder... hopefully this is “crystal” clear). poppers are ok to bring- after all it’s just “video head cleaner,” right? however, poppers are not supplied.
- alcohol IS allowed, but you will have to supply it. hence, these are BYOB events. please note, for everyone: getting drunk at one of these parties is NOT cool. no one wants to have sex with a sloppy drunk (well, most people don't.)


how much:
there is no set fee for these events, although a donation is requested to cover the supplies and other party expenses. first timers: if you’ve never been to an Open Minded Event, a donation is NOT requested for your first party. one of the great things about these events is that there's always new faces, and not asking first timers for a donation is one way to encourage that.

to get invited, you must be cleared for events:
good news - it's very easy to do!

how to get cleared for events:
just send an email to havingparties (at) gmail.com
in the subject line write “want to get cleared for events”
in the email, include the following:
-your height, weight and age
-a face pic
-a naked body pic (ok to block your face in it)

blurry pics, distant pics, or pics of you with sunglasses just don’t cut it.

and sorry, guys... please do not send a close up pic of your cock as your only naked body pic. it's just a PART of your body - and you're a complete man. i hope.



how to rsvp for an event:
you must first be cleared for events. you'll get an email invite for a particular party, and you can respond to it whenever you like. it can be several days or weeks beforehand, but if you are more spontaneous, you can respond on the day of the event. in fact, you can even respond up to 30 minutes before a party starts.

can i bring a friend along?
yes. you may bring a friend who hasn't previously been cleared for parties. as long as you have been cleared, you may bring up to two other guys for any event. but please, do these things...
1. BRIEF YOUR FRIEND about the parties. tell him if there’s a theme. let him know there’s no pressure to do anything he wouldn't want to do (even to get naked). and let him know that a donation is normally requested, but not for his first time attending.
2. (this one is Very Important) LET ME KNOW beforehand. it would be a real drag if i had to turn someone away because there wasn’t space. and then, you would look like a real jerk to your friend.
