So, you're at a party, doors opened at 8pm. Core of guests arrived around 9. There's much mingling and socialising, which you take part in. You're making a good impression and building rapport with a few. There are playrooms at the venue, currently unoccupied. The hope is you're fortunate to spend some time in said playroom with company you've connected with at some point.
It is now 1am (venue shuts at 3) playrooms still unoccupied (good, so not long to wait) and the atmosphere is great with lots of chemistry and smiling faces. You take your chance to proposition one if the contacts you've made. The reply you get: "What's the rush? Why can't you just enjoy the social side?". You take that as a cue to back off.
At about 2-2:30am, most suddenly realise the time, and potential missed opportunity not taken, so there's a mad dash for the play rooms. Some are fortunate to find a space, others not so lucky as have to wait, but doesn't come to fruition by the time the venue closes.
So, Ladies, Gents, Couples:
For those that are interested in playing in venues as the opportunity arises, as in the scenario above, if it were up to you, at what point over the course if the evening is a decent time you'd like to play (assuming there's folk you do want to play with). Is 9pm too early? Is 2am too late?
