Oh I love those places!No, but I did play a few places, the closer it got to last call and the drunker they all got, it was becoming clothing optional for the more-well-oiled.

Sure...now I find this...Just don’t go to the pool right before the gig.
I’ll actually be playing my first clothing optional gig in a couple weeks. It happens to be a band I’m subbing in, playing electric bass for the tuba/sousaphone player…. Now I think I know why he asked for a sub.
Not exactly. I did play a gig that was basically a bdsm party. It was pretty wild. People wearing fetish clothing dressed up like dominatrix, people getting spanked, tied up, a lot of nudity. There was some pretty wild stuff. The people were all very respectful though. They marked everyone’s hands so people knew who was and wasn’t interested in participating in that stuff. Random pictures were not allowed as a lot of the people participating probably didn’t want their employers or families to know. Overall it was a fun time. I always kind of enjoyed playing themed shows. Stuff like that and Halloween gigs and stuff. People are out to have a good time and seem to be more laid back and fun.Got hooked up to sub for an old friend's husband for a gig. Looking forward to it. Guy is a good writer with a following, not really in my genre but I'm flexible. Not sure what the pay is like but probably fine, and it's not super important.
Turns out the gig is at a clothing optional resort. Oh my.
Still doing it, perhaps making a weekend of it with my wife.
Anyone got any experience with something like this?
