Well, I (finally) made it to my first ASSCon last night! I'm more of a midday midweek activity type of monger, so I'd never been able to go before.
Were any other UGers there?
All in all, I was there from about 7:30 to 9pm and had a great time! What particularly struck me was the relaxed atmosphere (dancers, staff and patrons). I guess I'd heard stories of high pressure hustling, etc., but I just didn't see it last night. Great mix of dancers -- various ages, races, shapes and sizes. I hung out and got dances with Tiny, Veronica, Hush, Kat, Celeste, and a couple of others whose names I don't remember. I was actually waiting to talk a particular brown-skinned honey (never caught her name) into VIPing with me but she seemed busy all night.... I ended up talking a bit more with Celeste, who told me it was her first ASSCon (so we had that in common); I bought her a Jack and Coke, and decided to go to VIP with her. Great time, she's a sweet girl....
About an hour-and-a-half of drinking, hanging out, dances and 1 VIP set me back around $170... not bad at all.
The only negative: One of the dancers must have had glitter and heavy perfume on. I didn't notice it there, but when I got back to my office, before heading home, I noticed specks of glitter and the perfume smell on me that I had to make extra sure was washed off before I got home to my wife.
