The Hole parties are awesome!

I've been going the past few years to their semi-private BNC and Cumunion parties. These parties are REALLY fun. It's just one big orgy. Tops, bottoms... there is enough for everyone.

Get there before midnight on the weekends to get in before the crowd & often avoid a cover charge.
