Posted: 6/18/2006 11:30:32 AM | I think what annoys me the most about this all is that there were people saying that the girls involved in the contest dont respect themselves (and yes i overheard a lot of it at the party) Yet... where were these same people just moments before?? Standing in the crowd watching and cheering with the rest of them. The girl that flashed did so after she had already won, AND, she did so, in the company of her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is PROUD that he has a hot woman... and to all of the women brave enough and secure enough with their bodies to enter the contest, kudos! You are all beautiful women and I am glad that you all realize this and are confidant enough to show yourselves off.It has nothing to do with not having class, or not respecting yourself. Quite the opposite actually, it shows that they have more esteem than probably half the people on this site! So everyone knows, the bar DID provide the shirts for the contest as well as the water bottles, so everyone had dry clothes to put on after the event.
This was all about having a good time and meeting new people. Im sorry to those of you that didnt, but as I have said before, no one forced you to come, or stay for that matter. IF you ask around, there will be far more positive feedback than negative, so I suggest you all check that out rather than sticking with this ONE thing.
Also, the bar did give out free pop to DD's. All you had to do was mention it. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 11:52:52 AM | It looked like most people had fun and that is what these parties are all about.
I didnt do Karaoke or wet t-shirt competition but those that want too, enjoyed themself and entertained others.
Theres always entertainment at home if you dont want to be there. I dont get entertained at home thats why im there lol
And it did say on the forum what would be happening. So u did have a choice to go or not.
Im just glad we have kind and thoughtful people like our hosts Thanks once again

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:05:01 PM | it seems I left this party just in the knick of time...as the wet t-shirt contest began, it didn't interest me so I went outside for some fresh air, laid back with a few friends while it was going on outside and headed home from being tired and sorta bored. (Bored cause I was DD'ing that night...didn't know I could get free pop  may want to mention it in the main party forum next time!).
Anyway, seeing as I went there to meet up with friends and such, I knew the wet t-shirt contest was going to happen and I knew I wouldn't want to see it (I am sure I didn't miss much as I did watch the contestants come out)...anywho...Carri, I hope you're eyes have stopped bleeding...don't worry...there are good peeps out there (like MEEEEEEEEEEEE) and if what I've heard is correct then I am so very glad I left when I did.
Just like to mention the party was good...the venue was a little odd but meh...if it's free it's great! The balloon popping scared the crap outta this small town girl at first but other than that it was nice to see some old friends and meet some new ones (HELLOKITTY THIS WOULD BE YOU ALTHOUGH YOU DIDN'T MEET ANYONE NEW AS YOU POSTED  ).
Anyway, thanks to HH for the Iced Tea's...yum yum. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:30:31 PM | LOL my eyes are better haha..
The pop wasnt free. it was 1.75, DD'ing or not. Water was 2.00. I know because i was DD'ing too and they still charged.
It was nice seeing you again SnS, nice to see your move went good and you're still alive lol. We'll have to hang out one night before I leave this city. You're definately good peep's haha.. dont you worry about that! There's a lot of good people, I have met many and look forward to seeing them when I can. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:39:15 PM | Wading in on this stuff...
This was my first POF party and it was obvious to me that there were a lot of people having a great time and a lot of people who weren't and that is fairly typical of events of this type. To respond to the gal that said something about kudo's to the girls who had the confidence to enter the wet t contest - I don't personally believe it has anything to do with that - I was just surprised that there were women who entered were taking things to the next level and showing us their naked breasts...that was just going a bit too far. However, whether you enter or don't enter a contest of this kind is irrelevant - and it was posted that this was happening so whatever - but the naked boobies we could all do without.
My issue with the party was that there wasn't any opportunity to mix and mingle with people that didn't know many people there. There seemed to be a load of people who all know each other and there was no effort made to introduce the newer people. Not a big deal I was there to sing and hang out with my friend and observe but I am sure there were people there who felt left out. I wonder if more could have been done to make people feel welcome...just a thought...
Anyway, I am with Lady In Red that I won't be attending anymore Hamilton events as it wasn't my type of crowd. Also, I am with MizLizz that if there are events in Hamilton in future if they were not held in that type of low-end place perhaps there would be a better more balanced crowd. Anyway...I am ducking for the attack....

Posted: 6/18/2006 12:40:54 PM | | Correction, DDs had to buy the first pop and if you brought your glass back up and reminded them that you were DD you got free refills. If that didnt happen for you thats not my fault. I would have posted it but i wasnt sure untill I got to the bar. | |
|
| Boomers June 17th Party Pix
Posted: 6/18/2006 12:47:32 PM | One more quick note...I am seeing a lot of comments like "not my fault etc" from Habs...I don't think anyone is blaming the organizers for anything - you gals did a terrific job of getting the crowd out and organizing everything. People are giving you their honest opinions in hope that future events can be better. If there wasn't opportunity for improvement in the world we would still be driving around in Freddy Flintstone cars! My philosophy in business and in life is anything negative is an "opportunity" for improvement. It isn't a bad thing to hear what people think both good and bad - it means people are interested in seeing things improve...no harm in that right?!

Posted: 6/18/2006 1:15:22 PM | I'd hate to see people give up on all Hamilton events because of one party. I wasn't enjoying myself, so I went home. Maybe the venue, maybe my mood, maybe too much sun in the afternoon? We have fabulous patio nights in Hamilton and I have met many terrific people. Not every party is going to be for everyone. I had a great time at Philthy's in Burlington but there were many complaints about that party, too. I agree with funflirtyover30. Listen to the feedback, both positive and negative, and try to improve things the next time round.
Hey, I'm a regular Derby girl and many of my friends wouldn't be caught dead there. To each their own - and everyone is entitled to their opinion without getting insulted for it. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 1:31:29 PM | | I really have only one thing more to post on this all and then I am done with it, to all of the people that complain.... this was detailed in the original post that it would be A) a KARAOKE party .so those that complain that there wasnt enough dance music... that wasnt the point of the night, if you want dance music, go to a club) .... B)this is a singles party where you go to meet people. If you yourself arent walking around mingling, you cant expect everyone to just come up to you, ya gotta give a little to get a little so if you didnt meet anyone because you were sitting at your table all night... maybe next time you will try to introduce yourself instead of waiting for others to do it for you.... C) to ppl that were offended or whatever about the wet tshirt contest and that there was some nudity.. though she shouldnt have flashed her ta tas off, you could see them anyways, its the point of it all. to complain about witnessing a wet tshirt contest at the party when it was clearly posted numerous times in the forum that there would be one, is rediculous. D)as for anyone who thinks that Boomers was a "lower end" establishment, though it may not be very big, the owners AND staff have all done an excellent job and were, in my opinion, extremely polite and patient when so many patrons were getting frustrated with them. E) for anyone that plans on attending future POF events, I suggest you clearly read all of the plans for the party as well as the forums before you actually sign up and go. And if you do go, go with the mind set that you are going to have a good time and chances are you will. if you go and theres things you dont like, just leave and dont complain about them. it is a lot of work putting together a party like this.... i would like to see all of the people that complain about parties (not just mine) get together and put one together that everyone enjoys. chances are you wont be able to pull it off either. and maybe then, you will actually APPRECIATE the effort it takes to put something like this together. and if i get banned for this i really dont give a shit. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 1:35:38 PM | | Habs - it is too bad you are taking the comments personally instead of constructively. The effort put into the event is appreciated - what is not appreciated is the inability to accept people's opinions and understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion. | |
|
| Boomers June 17th Party Pix
Posted: 6/18/2006 1:38:56 PM | | not at all, i value constructive critisism. what annoys me though, is that none of this has been. its people complaining about how they didnt like this or that... if you want to make a suggestion, thats great im all for hearing it.... but if you are just going to whine and complain about things, then no, keep your comments to yourself. | |

That my dear is called constructive criticism...I said I didn't know and putting it in the main party thread would be a good thing for next time and as for planning parties...been there, done that...know what it's all about and to be honest, bar parties are the easiest ones to plan. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 2:01:04 PM | YOu obviously dont read everything properly then. Here's some stuff you can look into already from the posts:
These parties are meant for everyone, you want to try and make it pleasant for everyone that will come out.
Obviously wet t shirts right off the bat didnt get rave reviews, and some people mentioned not having a chance to meet others:
1. You can think of a G rated fun contest where girls and guys are involved to get some giggles from the crowd.
2. You can make a contest when people come in they get certain items or whatever it might be (fixed so one girl gets the same as a guy) and have a contest so that way girls and guys might meet and say hi that wouldnt normally have.
3. Not have contests at all if you're saying it was too hard to put together. Focus on greeting people at the door and introducing them to some people so they wouldnt feel so alone and left out. Be a host, not the partier at your party.
You as a host for a party should make it your responsibility to ask questions about drinks and DD drinks as well. You could have asked about pop for the DD and post it so people knew to hold onto their glasses instead of letting the waitress take them away. If you look at how other successful parties are posted, you'll see they post costs of drinks, any perks like free pop for DD's, etc.
Some people mentioned the music/kareoke. Ok, yes, it was mentioned kareoke party, and it was nice you put a bit of real music in between, a balance of it makes for a more content night as some people want to come out and meet others, but don't want to just hear kareoke. You are the only party in hamilton going on and lots want to come out. Making things balanced a bit is what people want. It makes everyone happy.
Yes, it's your party and you'll do what you want to, but that is some ideas from what I got from the thread. There's many more but I won't give away everything. The first boomers party was fun. The place itself I think should change too. That's not the nicest of places to hold a hamilton party. A lot from the first party didnt like where the party was held, they didnt feel comfortable, hence why they didnt come back. You're showing a dumpier side to the city and they are not the best at serving. Those girls need to go find a job they like.
Hopefully you won't take this post the wrong way and maybe re-read some people's posts and see what is really being said and not taking it all as a personal attack. | |

Best singer of the night. . .
Matt the young guy with the beard.
Great Bobby Darrin cover Bud.
Best Racks?. . .
The ones that were not being shown off ;-)
As for the party as a whole it was lots of fun - For a roadhouse style event.
Roadhouses are ROADHOUSES. They are designed to be loud, noisy and vulgar.
Thanks Habs Dave and gang for putting on a show for us. You did exactly what you said you would do.
***************************
Wet T shirt contests and "hurling contests" inside and outside of the washrooms are all part of the "entertainment".
I must admit they are not my kind of place to go for entertainment. But it's what is being presented. So some of us go simply because its the only thing to do.
We are under strict rules as to what we can and cannot provide as entertainment. We can't have any events where the hosts or their friends make any sort of profit or charge any form of fees or advanced fees. Charity events are also banned. This limits the kind of places and styles members can choose from to host events.
We can't rent out a hall or buy up tickets to a major public event in advance. That is very limiting. Also never knowing how many people will be attending an event also limits what you can plan.
Personally I'd like to see some events based more around social interaction rather than loud music and booze.
I'd like to see some mini-put, dinners in fancy restaruants, winery tours, euchre parties, fancy dinner theatre, movie nights and Barb-B-Q's.
Singles Events where you can actually hear the other person speak and sit down and talk without being judged.
They are going on around the area but sadly we can't post them here.
MODERATOR NOTE: The above statement is incorrect. Perhaps a reading of the events rules would be helpful.
http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1156438.aspx
Events such as miniput, dinners, tours, theatre, etc ARE MORE THAN WELCOME. The catch is that hosts can not collect any monies - PERIOD. Doesn't matter why. Doesn't even matter if you collect it on behalf of someone else. Hosts are not to collect monies. As long as members pay the venue directly there is no problem
The party was great fun. Not my favourite choice in music style /entertainment for the most part. But fun for what it was. A Roadhouse party.
Nedly.

Posted: 6/18/2006 2:41:33 PM | There seems to be a constant complaint about this party anyway. It's the whole "not meeting other people rhyme".
Well you know what guys? Everyone is on this site for personal reasons, but mostly just to meet new people. What I have found from these get togethers is that for the most part the posing and posturing are for the most part removed. I think maybe it's because we all kind of know each other by checking in on the website.
I can't understand for the life of me (please bear with me here) why there are people that show up and sit on their hands all night and complain about not meeting anyone the night before. It's up to the individual to mingle (who DIDN'T see me last night, honestly...for better or worse) and introduce themselves. Not the hosts. Not anyone.
The individual (and I just know I'm going to be crapped on for saying this!) is responsible for their own fun...the hostesses' jobs in my opinion is to bring people together and inform people of events. Bar none.
Carrie offers up some pretty good ideas to be fair and this post is not in retaliation of her post. These parties I'm sure is a learning process. I would like to see someone step up (my friends won't host another, which I find sad) and give all of us a party that would be universally accepted. Instead of hiding behind a keyboard and complaining about it, maybe we should do a survey or something so we can mix up everything just right. It's a daunting challenge for sure.
Anyhow, I hope there's no malice from this. It's just that everyone else is venting and I wanted to add mine that's all.
Ciao for now. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 3:06:47 PM | Just to be clear, a host is not obligated to host a party according to what the masses want. Any user is welcome to host a party, however they want, as long as it falls within the event/party rules.
Additionally, it is your responsibility as a attendee to socialize & mingle. You can not expect/demand that the host of an event make sure you get to meet people. You need to take responsibility for your own fun.
The best piece of advice I can say is that if you don't like what type of event is advertised: DO NOT ATTEND. It is not right to attend and then expect the host to run the event to suit you.
That being said, lets leave it at this. How about focusing on the good things instead of the bad. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 3:41:10 PM | It was a good night met a few nice people but would have been nice to meet more. I am not one to go up to people and start a conversation expecially when most of the people where in thier own little groups...I went alone cuz the girl i was going to go with couldnt come but i was going to meet a few people i chat with on here but either they didnt show or i didnt notice them lol I met a few people none the less so all in all it was good. Next time i will just have to get more courage to mingle a bit more lol
Some amazing singers out here ... I havent been to kareoke in a long time so it was fun to get up there and sing again 
I still cant believe i did the wet t-shirt contest that was way to funny and im still in shock lol My pants where soaked felt like i pissed myself  But next time see if the bar can buy some bigger tshirts some of us bigger breasted ladies cant fit a med lol I was barely able to squeeze myself in but it did help to hold up the twins  And to Angel24butterfly ... you grabbing my boobs during the contest was the most action i had in a long long time so thx for that
If there is another boomers kareoke party I will be there for sure ... great job ladies  | |
