Reviews: JACKS OF COLOR and THE OMEGA PARTY

One of the blog readers, who seems to attend every party that I don't (we're a great team!) offered to send me some short reviews of his adventures. We've been emailing back and forth for some time about a lot of parties. Here's two short reviews of JACKS OF COLOR (JoC) and THE OMEGA PARTY.

"As for the JoC party I attended at Paddles last night: Paddles is a relatively nice and clean space as such play spaces go. This is the first time I've been there. Relative to the size of the space and by the accounts of others I spoke to who have attended JoC parties held there before, this party was not particularly well attended, probably due to the holiday weekend and perhaps too because it was a special party that may not have been part of the consciousness of those who attend regularly.

People were of all sizes and shapes: a few young and trim but many beefier types. There was a lot of anal activity, which is not my cup of tea so from the viewpoint of what I like to do (oral) it was less than ideal. I'm not interested in doing oral with anyone who's been in someone's butt so when there is a lot of << anal (not oral)>> going on I feel my opportunities are limited.

(Also) I went to Omega a few weeks ago for the first time, I guess just before they stopped using the W.46th St. location. Despite the statements of the hosts that "our patrons like it pitch black this way" in response to my comments that I thought it was too dark, others there I spoke to said they did NOT like it that way, that being able to see other guys was arousing to them (as it is for me). Nevertheless I stayed, groped my way around and over-all had a reasonably good time."

I've never been to JACKS OF COLOR, because I hear that they are not very selective (and I am), but have heard some reasonably good reviews of the party. They have parties every Monday night and sometimes on Thursdays, and weekends. Also, the host of the JoC is a legend among some of the other hosts. I have been to OMEGA, but not for a long time. Now that they've moved to Long Island City, I've gotten some good reviews of it, but the sex would have to be very hot to get me to Queens. Guys, if you want to go, here's the contact info...
