Folsom Europe

[kitpig]

Is anyone attending Folsom Europe in August, and if so, are there any events people will be joining or places to visit with the intention of  swapping loads? 

[Countrybbaus]

I will be there - there will be the usual places - Lab, Bull, New Action etc...plus the different parties going on. 

Program: [think before following links] https://folsomeurope.berlin/

I'm coming for the first time - never been to Folsom and never to Berlin in warm weather so will be interesting.  Already have my ticket for Pig party. but i plan to do Tiergarten and Bull every night and LAB on Thursday naked night.

Sadly, Biohazardmen Party seems to be still a no go...

Hi everyone,

I’m super excited because I just booked everything for my first-ever festival trip! 🎉 I’ll be going alone, which is something I’ve never done before, and while I’m looking forward to the experience, I’m also a bit nervous. I’m not a very social person and can be pretty shy in crowds, so I was hoping for some advice on how to navigate this kind of situation.

I’d love tips on how to enjoy the festival, make the most of being solo, and maybe even connect with others without feeling overwhelmed.

If anyone has tips for navigating the festival as a shy, solo attendee, I’d love to hear them! Also, if you’ve gone solo to a festival, how did you make the most of it?

Feel free to connect with me—my Telegram is @otter99999. I’m open to exchanging notes or chatting about the experience.

Thanks in advance, and I hope to hear from some of you! 😊

Hi mate,

It can be daunting travelling to these events on your own.  There is no clear recipe for success, but I find the basics hold well:

- respect - be respectful to other people, read their ques....do they mind you watching, feeling, participating or joining in on the conversation?

- open communication - be open to chatting to anyone  - both those that approach you and those that you approach.  Read them and how they respond...sometimes he just be fleeting - "hey mate, you look amazing in that" to something a bit more  "Hi I really love that harness/chaps/mask you are wearing, do you mind if I ask where you got it from"  or "cute pup, do you mind if I pet him?" through to the basics of "Hi, are you having a good time/ is this your first time here/can you tell me where I can get...."

- Body language - it is critical...stand tall, shoulders back, don't close yourself off by crossing your arms and legs, demonstrate self awareness and a bit on confidence (and not im a cocky bastard and you are all dumbshits!)

- keep turning up - find out where your kind or your kink are gathering and keep turning up....familiarity eases connections

- read body language - so much a glance is a glance and you move on, other times a random glance makes you turn and the next minute you are the bottom in a 20 man gang bang and getting married 6 months later

- Rest - its all a bit of a marathon...mentally, physically and financially.  Give your self a down time and time to sleep....also Folsom world is not real life, so time away for a morning and visit a museum, go for a walk, have a long lunch at the Adlon are vital

and probably, what I think is the most important thing.......

- Smile - be light, be friendly, treat each experience as a learning one, grow and enjoy!

Very well said!! 

I visited Berlin at Easter this year as my first outing and loved it!  As Countrybbaus said, be respectful and subtle admiration work well, and I hope you have a blast on your first event 🙂

With Unterage, Mutschmanns and Connection club having been used in the past but now all closed they really have run out of willing venues 🙁

WOW!  Connection club closed!  And Mutschmanns closed too after they had to move.

Untertage is supposedly undergoing renovation.  So it might open back up later this year (hopefully).

In the meantime, BiohazardMen might consider becoming a roving party.  There's got to be some space they could possibly find outside of Berlin until Untertage hopefully reopens.

Is anyone thinking of going to PiG @ Folsom in Berlin?

[spunkdump]

PIg Party- i'm going -- could any one write to me and tell how it is? Is it like LAB -and just  bigger-- seems to be like rooms in the venue -but what rooms - is there a piss pit? i imagine fisiting slings but in other rooms -is it just a dark room - no beds or benches? I" m just trying to get a sense what to expect -eveyone says its so great but never really any details and I've never been before.  I don't do alot of circuit parties so i know there is dancing but i'm wondering about the cruising ---I love LAB but that places you get a sense of that place once you go- and discover the layout where you want to be but with this i just cant tell.  And, what is Tiergarten like during Folsom Europe?   No sex is allowed at the street events-i get that but what about at night. and what bars have daytime action- since its going to be all day events in the gay district.  i've only been in Berlin in Winter so its going to be a nice different setting end of summer. Boots and harness packed!

 

[blkoraltm]

It is similar to Lab but on a much larger scale.  There are a few different locations for play. So do explore before you commit to a location. especially if it's at the same place that it was last year, I spent half the night on one side and then decided to leave, about two am and grab my clothes and discovered the other play space.   having got dressed, I ended up taking off my shirt and just pulling my shorts down.

One more thing. to be prepared to wait in a long line to get in if you are not VIP
