Rose & Thorn FAQ

GENERAL PARTY INFORMATION

TIME: 8 PM (usually end around midnight, but some people stay longer to talk) PLEASE be on time. We do announcements around 9 PM, and the demo soon after. Also, our greeter has to stay by the door and wait for late arrivals which doesn't allow them to enjoy the party as much. Thank you!

DIRECTIONS: Are ALWAYS sent Wednesday prior to the event when RSVP's close.

DRESS: Please read our dress code.

FOOD: We'll ask you to bring drinks, desserts, or appetizers. That request will come with the directions.

ALCOHOL: This event has a policy of "light" alcohol use only. That means no more than two drinks during the evening. We will not be providing alcohol.

NO SHOW POLICY: To prevent crowding we limit the number of guests. We prefer notice as early as possible, but we understand if something urgent comes up and you have to cancel. As long as you e-mail the membership coordinator by the time of the party, or call the host that evening we won't hold it against you. Of course if there is a real emergency there is no problem at all. If you are a no-show, you will not be invited back and we will remove you from our mailing list.

RAINDATES: We never cancel our parties because it is too difficult to reach everyone. If you cannot make a party because you were snowed in, we will accept that excuse… as long as we were all snowed in.

COST: It's free of course! Just bring some food to share.

SMOKERS: Smoking is fine outside.

OTHER LEGAL POLICY STUFF:

1. All guests must be 21 years old or over

2. No drugs

3. There is a two drink limit, and we do not provide alcohol. Anyone who becomes inebriated will be asked to leave.

4. Unfortunately, due to recent legal issues, we cannot allow professional Doms/Dommes to attend these events. We are very sorry about this, but we cannot put ourselves or our guests at risk.

5. There is no cost to attend

6. You must be living on your own. Students in their early 20's living with their parents cannot attend events - the parental involvement issue seems to come up every time.

Thanks for your interest!
