Folsom Europe

[Guest Chiilfuck]

Hello,

Spunkdump,  thanks for posting your detailed accounts from Folsom Europe; I have enjoyed reading them.  The Big Weekend still seems as wild as ever .  (I have been a few times, including last year).

I do, however, find your account of the Lab interesting and aligned with my experiences there  over the past few years.   Though I do still find it’ll the Lab a one-of-a-kind place with hedonistic enjoyment, the percentage of the “standing around and looking” crowd has been gradually increasing over the nearly 15 years I have been going to Berlin.   I attribute it to the Lab being internationally well known, and attracting tourists who might not be as “piggy.”  (Oh, there is a 24-hour N1 bus that parallels the route of the U-Bahn on weeknights; so one does not have to truncate the fun to catch the last U-Bahn😊😜😊)

 

You did not mention it in your post, but Scheune’s Sunday naked party is always exciting.  And as you mentioned….the Bull is  quite a place.  As I tell people, if any “type” exists in the gay world, it shows up at The Bull.   It has always  provided early morning fun and a reason to walk back to the hotel smelling of smoke and sex, while regular tourists are having breakfast.

Thanks for your posts; keep writing!!

So question is, today is the last day of Folsom… will this afternoon and tonight be better spent arse up in Bull or in Scheune??

Hello,

I would suggest going to Scheune’s naked party, with entry from 17:30 to 18:30,  then to Bull later.

My experience at what is my 7th and last folsom. Firstly the sat street party was jam packed.. far too many people in that small area..made smaller with dug up areas. The crowd seemed to me to be dominated with younger puppies and older leather guys.. largely gone are the 40's 50's etc. People however were in the most friendly. Overall didn't enjoy it as much as the pre covid ones.

Turning to tonight's Scheune party. I went there in 2023..ages ran from 20's to 70's with good representation of all brackets. Got there tonight about 6.15pm..place was packed, noticed that there were guys leaving as I got there. Had a good look around..it was like an old people's re-union. The vast majority were over 60+ and as far as I could see there were only 3 or 4 that would have been under 35. Went downstairs.. the guy that I fucked 2 years ago was on the bench with a cock up him.. looked around for about 5 mins or so then an alarm went off and most went back up stairs (smoke alarm???)  I know that I'm getting on in years but this weekend hasn't been great. Having been to nude parties in London eg vault139 (mon and thurs) + SBN on Sundays..then in Australia  at NUD at club 80 (when it was going).. this would have rated at best 1 out of 10,

Be interesting to see what others have to say

Back home and will try to process Saturday night:  

After Friday's sort of good and bad night- Sat was better weather but lot going on -Horsefair at 5:30 and then PIG event at 9pm till late-- Horsefair- i should have skipped- ADVICE- for Mares- get early on line if you're not in first group of 20 -25 men - good luck- i was 65 probably out of 125-140 mares. The reason KitKat club is small and only so many benches to bend over -and these guys get in early undress fast and mark their spot with their hoods.  otherwise you get stuck like i did standing in a corner - some of the helpers did bring chairs to some guys but not enough chairs. The benches and the small cushion areas were yo u wantd to be -- this was an XL event but still they only open the other side of KITKAT but not use of the big bed or leather round bench at end-roped off-! why? who knows-- anyway i knew it was going to be bad night when one guy not even an hour in -crashed on drugs -they had to pull him out and take him to another part of club and he was just gone- i think they let him rest and then sent him home.  Not a good omen.   Like I said i was stuck standing in a corner so not great-  i could see a bit when the Tops came in and it was like that scene from Space 1999 when those "Eyeball creatures" were masking as  human but then you saw what they were actually- it was like that-- a turn on and a omg moment but as you can't see-well thats what happens - i did ask for a break and then a new spot- got fucked a bit but lots of guys were just there - the round benches and the main room on left of bar was where all the action was happening- like i said get early and get a good spot to be comfortable- it really does matter.  I left thinking let me go to PIG get in early before the crowds.

PIG--this was a short trip by UBAHN -and its held in a old sort of Capital event building -a courtyard and a lower level with various rooms -some like vaults, bars, dancing and sex areas with benches and slings for fisting , some benches etc.   I got there early - i wasn't the only fool-they didn't open until 11pm -really!  I did make it in- I paid for the VIP-- they only gave you Proseco or beer free- if you wanted water or coke -you had to pay! go figure- must be a European thing-so stupid.  VIP was worth it- you get your own private check in and rest area from everywhere else- and its the main dance hall building-they do have their own private play space- but it was slings and gloryholes but it was so bright and pinkish-and cold- so unappealing.   The other side of the venue had a check in and their lower level was more in line with sex club vibes- but so many guys and so much to explore- i think it was overwhelming for someone not use to a big circuit event.   And it was thousands of guys- i didn't stay long- i had plane to catch so i knew this wasn't going to be much for me- you can't compete with skinny twinks and roided out gays.   What surprised me the lines to get in at 1am were around the block for standard entry and VIP - so it was so so crowded. Wow, i'm glad i went but it wasn't for me- i had more fun at Tiergarten to be honest and hotter. but just for the experience it was good to go- i won't have FOMO anymore.   Its LAB on meth is what i say but its huge- i found a whole set of mazes when i was trying to find the exit from the lower level - i didn't even see it when i got there early so i know i must have missed out on other areas.  I went back and went to BULL but that was so crowded -too much - i had guys asking me to sell them meth-i was like - i don't even know what that is and they were so high whisky dick and all- lots of pushing and standing.  Bull is great when its just crowded enough but overload- not great.   When I went earlier Sat -i thought i would go loaded up to Horsefair- i got two loads and it was pretty empty but enuf guys and to me it was hot- afternoon at 4pm and got fucked twice and loaded wasn't expecting but hoping and it paid off...Late night on a big event-its alot and New Action was in the streets.   

I missed Scheune naked party but honestly better-the darkroom in basement isn't very big and not easy to get around so if it fills-not a lot going to be happening and I"m not sure they play upstairs but navigating that isn't much easier if you been in that bar.     I missed the Coffee and Cream parties from years ago at Mutchman's and the old Horsefair market then -- even LAB- used to be scary to get in - that old gruff guy wouldn't have let 85% of the guys on line get in- that was the point when it opened but now its a different scene but that's my perspective as an "elder gay" now ,  but back in early years it was a bit of fear mixed in -which was the point.  Too much flamboyance - and PIG Stated no women allowed well i saw a few at the party.     

In end i'm glad i went but Berlin is more fun when its not a huge event- but going in summer for Tiergarten is all worth it and more- you 're so lucky to have that and so much freedom to be that piggy at night. Beats Central Park and Hampstead Heath by miles!!! So jealous -i'm glad it shared some of that last week. My hole much appreciated the action!
