GENERAL INFORMATION:

Thank you for checking out our web page. We hope you will find this information useful.

We are a group of individuals who want to bring together people with an interest in the BDSM community. If you are an affiliated member of a group, this event is for you. If you are new to the scene and want more information, this event is for you, too. ThirdFriday will be a safe, non threatening environment for people to meet, exchange ideas, and enjoy some great company!

After the dinner, there are often various activities being hosted by members of the community. More information will be available at the dinner. You can E-Mail us or get more information at the link(s) on the bottom of this page.

Special Announcements:

ThirdFriday would like to welcome each new person who decides to join us each time.
Each dinner finds at least one new person venturing out to find out more information.
Please check with Belinda to find out about all the weekends events.

RULES:

We want everyone to be comfortable attending ThirdFriday and want to be as open as we can to everyone's individual situation and desires.  However, we do have to impose some limitations since this is an adult forum and it is in a public restaurant. 

Rule # 1 - Fetish Wear

If people show up dressed in some of the more elaborate fetish attire (even though it is considered legal from a public decency standpoint), it can prove to be somewhat unnerving to someone who has just ventured out into the public scene for the first time.   It is hard for us to say just where the line is for some things... for example, some collars are like jewelry and not garish... some people may consider wearing a leather vest to be fetish attire... so what we ask is to keep things reasonable.  Don't come in wearing floggers, corsets, latex outfits, etc. If someone takes exception and points out certain attire to one of the ThirdFriday representatives, you will be asked to leave.

Rule #2 - Children

We realize this is a public restaurant, so it is not unheard of for someone to consider bringing the family along.  However, this is an adult gathering, so some conversations may be of a nature that should not be overheard by children.  If you have kids that are old enough to walk around on their own power, please don't bring them.   Infants are ok because they cannot understand what is going on.

Rule #3 - Advertising / Promotions

ThirdFriday is a social event where people get together to share ideas and information.  We encourage vendors and groups to attend and talk with folks who show up.  People can hand out a short (1 page) brochure, representing their product(s) or group(s).  It is the responsibility of the individual to remove all brochures at the end of the night, so that none are left behind.
Please remember this should be a safe and "vanilla-friendly" event.

Rule #4 - Behavior

Behave like law-abiding, courteous adults.  We do not condone exhibitionist activities, spanking, or other acts that may attract unwanted attention to the group.  There are groups to attend that offer parties and places where you can do these things.  However, ThirdFriday is not one of them.  If we discover such activities, or if they are pointed out to us, we will be forced to deal with it at the time.

While the ThirdFriday group (Belinda, Steve, Beth, Steph, Jen) and a host of others have worked to put this together, the only way it will be a success is if people attend. This will be a great opportunity to meet with others, talk, share ideas, and learn!
We hope to see you there!

Please don't hesitate to let management at Pappas BarBQ know how much we appreciate meeting there.  Give them your business when you can.
