sparrI went, I saw, I evaluated.
The location is OK. It is part of a building in the Armour Dr industrial area. The neighbors are bands who practice at all hours and got along OK with us in the shared smoking area. Access to the building is more public than elsewhere, but not nearly as much so as Spring 4th.
As to the space itself, I liked it. The first room felt about 400 square feet, for socializing, eating, etc. Some seats, some art, the front desk, a small stage/platform. The second room is the play space, about 350 square feet. A good variety of furniture (cross, large cage, electric-like chair, adjustable spanking bench, wall manacles, electric winch, etc) spaced around the perimeter and a couple of places in the center. I would say room for 8 compact scenes, or 4 with plenty of space to spread out and swing your toys.
The crowd tended more to the younger side than I have ever seen at a dungeon. A cross between Whippersnappers and Phobia, in terms of demographics (and actual folks, to be honest). This is a trend likely to continue, due in no small part to the lower age limit (18+) than most places.
They are planning to host educational events on the third Saturday of each month, in the early evening (3-8 was mentioned, I think). I did not hear of any other scheduled events yet. The space is also available for members to rent for private functions, at a rate of $50/hr or $400/12hrs. This fills a good niche for party space, a deal that a number of people that I know will be taking advantage of.
I expect to be spending time here in the future. I wish them well in the endeavor, and think it will succeed.
