269.0. "A novel idea, so somebody probably though of it already... :-)" by DDIF::MACK (Embrace No Contradictions) Mon Aug 27 1990 21:19

There's less than a month of "official" summer left (and probably less of
practical summer), and thoughts are beginning to tend toward school days
and winter.

Some of the organizations like NENA will sponsor two or three events for the
winter, but otherwise, based on notes from previous years, it looks pretty
bleak.

What if somebody with a good-sized living room and either a very private lot
or better-than-average curtains sponsored a nudist noters' party?  If it can't 
be a notors' party as such, some of us could still keep a calendar and arrange 
for a rotation.  Some of us aren't in a position to do it because of our 
location or the size of our house or apartment, but if we had a rotation of 
house parties to break up the winter doldrums, it could make for a refreshing 
change, and make the time until spring not seem quite so long.  

While Lorraine and I are in a difficult position, renting a detached condo with 
a small living room (capacity: 4 really, 6 in a pinch) in the middle of a 
complex with no trees, I would be glad to help out in any way if anyone else 
is thinking of doing one. (I don't think Lorraine would go to one of these
yet, it's kind of a big step, but maybe after one or two more visits to Cedar
Waters...)  I am willing to put any energy into this that is necessary to see
it become a reality.  (If I had the money, I'd buy the house to have the party
in!)

What are the legalities of nudist house parties (particularly in Mass & NH)?
The cops can't bust up a private party as long as it stays private, can they?
I've never been to a nudist house party.  Does anything make a real "do" 
impractical?  Since I scarcely wear clothes at home anymore, I can't imagine
such a party being unpleasant or undesirable. 

								Ralph

P.S. You long-time nudists are going to have to put up with the unbridled 
     enthusiasm of a neophyte who has suffered forever from a lousy image
     of his body and is finally FREE!

	>>Some of the organizations like NENA will sponsor two or three events for the >>winter, but otherwise, based on notes from previous years, it looks pretty >>bleak. Actually, the NENA swims occur every third Saturday during the fall and winter season. I don't remember if they start in September or October. I think Solair stays open until October or mid-November... There's a place called Phoenix in upstate New York that is open year-round and has all sorts of stuff (including nude cross-country skiing...brrrrr). There are occasional CO parties that happen but they're usually just a bunch of friends who get together. I would think that having an open CO party for the sake of having a CO party wouldn't generate that much interest; there needs to be some other theme, like a hottub party, where there's an excuse to be nude. At the CO parties that I've been to, either the neighbors didn't care or the house was secluded enough so that someone really had to look in order to be offended. The best CO parties that I've gone to (which means all of them) focused on something other than nudity. Someone had a party and there was skinny-dipping, or someone had a hottub and/or swimming pool, or they were teaching people how to give massages. The fact that it was CO was not important. B.
269.2	I never need an excuse to party, BUT...	BAGELS::SKINNER	First Place in Nude Costume Contest!	`Tue Aug 28 1990 01:56`	8
	There's a place near me that rents hottubs to go for $100 for the weekend. If we all pitch in, I'd be willing to have a party sometime. It will be hard to party without Molly, but I guess we'll have to make the best of it.. Too bad we can't go nude ice skating on my lake!! Robin

	>> Too bad we can't go nude ice skating on my lake!! You mean, "not yet", right? :-)
269.4	Anyone else have a hottub??	BAGELS::SKINNER	First Place in Nude Costume Contest!	`Mon Sep 17 1990 17:36`	11
	I called the hot tub rental place and they no longer are in business, so I guess we'll have to see if someone with a hottub already installed would be willing to have a party. Otherwise, the first NENA swim of the season is on October 20th.. Course, if anyone is offered the buyout and can't think of another business to go into, maybe you'd consider a hottub rental place for us displaced Naturists to get through the winters!! ;-) Robin
269.5	By the hour	WEFXEM::GAUVIN		`Mon Oct 08 1990 20:00`	6
	There is a place in Grafton,ma that rents hot tubs by the hour. It is called the Oasis Hot Tubs. Some of the tubs can seat up to 6 people ...... Ron
269.6		CADSE::WONG	The wong one	`Mon Oct 08 1990 23:49`	4
	Hmmm...Molly's tub probably fit around 6, eh? (so what if we got 18 people into it? :^) ) B.
269.7	;-)	HYEND::SCHILTON	When they said sit down,I stood up	`Tue Oct 09 1990 11:39`	4
	Could it be that Ron is volunteering to host a little Halloween hot tub party? (We'd all have to wear masks, of course!) Sue
269.8		DCSVAX::GAUVIN		`Wed Oct 10 1990 19:59`	9
	Well I called the hot tubs to find out how many people they can fit in one tub. They told me for safety regulations they can only have 4 people to a tub. But they do have 2 tubs in 2 room with a door that can be opened to go back and forth. The price of the tubs is quit a bit. for 4 people it is $40. You do have to make reservations in advance. (masks are optional) Ron
269.9	Do we all have to fit at once?	FSTVAX::HANAUER	Mike... Ice~Cream~to~Bicycle	`Wed Oct 10 1990 20:21`	6
	Many people (me included) can only take so long in a hot tub. Shifts would therefore probably be ok, thus a smaller tub might be ok. ~Mike
269.10		11SRUS::LUCIA	Just one more cast!	`Thu Oct 11 1990 15:23`	7
	I second this shifts idea. Is there a limit on number of people/room? I like to be in for 10 minutes, out for 10minutes to cool off, etc. Tim (I'm up for the idea and my s.o. would probably be into it as well)
