Seduction in San Antonio: Inside Libertine Events with Hot Couple Chronicles Part 2 === [00:00:00] ​ [00:00:05] This week, on Hot Couple Chronicles [00:00:07] [00:00:08] We have learned a lot. We're all here just winging it. We're learning. We have camera, we have a phone and yeah, a couple microphones, couple microphones, idiots that are just talking in our bed. [00:00:19] [00:00:20] My whole body is freaking out, which is making my anxiety worse and I'm struggling there a little bit. [00:00:27] [00:00:28] Get comfortable, being uncomfortable. You're gonna have to talk about that stuff. You have to, again, communication is key and sometimes you just gotta say it like, this is what's going on. [00:00:36] [00:00:37] I have really bad stage fright. As soon as I stand there and I see people looking at me, my brain completely panics and I just wanna run and I forget everything. [00:00:46] [00:00:47] It helps when you have that realization that everybody in the room is there to watch you succeed. [00:00:54] [00:00:55] we might not be the most graceful, we might not be professional like everyone else, [00:01:00] but once we started to get into what we're good at, we are good at people. We're good at connecting with humans one-on-one. We're good at small groups of people and really teaching them that way. In this kind of stuff, it's, we remembered who we were. [00:01:17] you get so involved in connecting with this other person that you honestly lose track of how long you've been connecting with them and you don't check back with your partner and meanwhile you're not having a great time and your partner's not having a great time. [00:01:36] [00:01:37] But when you have a whole hotel and it's just full of your people, everyone's just living their best life. Everyone is just so happy to be there. Everyone is a great time and so easy to make friends at these. [00:01:49] You don't even have to try to make friends. [00:01:51] [00:01:52] They were all just so free and all just so, ugh, body positivity. [00:01:57] Uh, they'll make you feel so good about yourself. [00:02:00] They keep you in check and such a great group of humans. [00:02:04] Welcome to Hot Couple Chronicles, a podcast exploring the swinging lifestyle.

And this is Hot Couple Chronicles. Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday. We're back. We are back yet again guys, we only have two more episodes and this season is over. That's already, I know it just started. It's crazy time. I know. Really fast. We have. [00:03:24] Killing it. Killing it, killing it, killing it. So like there was a lot, there was hiccups. We learned a lot that we haven't, it has not been perfect, but it has flowed pretty perfectly. Yeah. And we've lost a few, we've lost quite a few episodes that we'll never get again. And it's pretty, you know, we've learned a lot. [00:03:44] We have, yeah. [00:03:44] We have learned a lot. We're all here just winging it. We're learning. We have camera, we have a phone and yeah, a couple microphones, couple microphones, idiots that are just talking in our bed. [00:03:56] Not that serious. Mm-hmm. Don't make it weird. Last [00:04:00] week we talked about your adventures with Pineapples After Dark Halloween party, so go back and listen to that one. Yeah. And this week is finally the long awaited part two of our LIBERTINE event in San Antonio. Yes. [00:04:24] Yeah. And then as you heard in part one, we had a whole day getting to San Antonio, flying on an airplane, getting all of our stuff there. Swingers, have a lot of shit. And it was stressful on two hours of sleep, two hours of sleep. [00:04:39] Had just mentally was struggling with anxiety and other stuff. And just the pressures and all the things of being hosts for the weekend. Adjusting to a new place, a new space, a new bunch of people. We've only been to one Libertine event, and these were mostly all new people to [00:05:00] us that we'd had never met, so we had to mingle and meet people and we have to do the same thing that you guys are doing. Yeah. Push ourselves outside of our comfort zone and actually talk to strangers and a lot of them travel to these events and go to these events. [00:05:14] They know each other. It's intimidating when you get in that space. So like when you guys talk about how you guys feel like that, we understand completely 'cause we also have a lot of these events that we don't go to these places a lot. We've only ever been to one or we've, it's our first time. [00:05:30] Miami was our first time ever with them. And so we also are still doing that as well as hosting and supposed to be the ones who know everything and the ones that are supposed to be the go-tos to answer all your questions and stuff. So we completely understand what it's like and how, and there's, it's hard, there was a whole new journey you had to navigate this particular weekend. [00:05:51] Yeah. That you woke up Friday morning and you had your period. Yeah. I had started 12 days early, [00:06:00] so I had nothing with me, never once. Usually I, I plan ahead. It's always been very predictable, so I take Wisp a lot. A lot of events fall on that week, and so I'll take Wisp and it's trusty every single time I can take it, and I'm usually pretty [00:06:17] on schedule for the most part. This last year, it's been a struggle. And I know a lot of you, I talked to a lot of you that also feel that way. It's been a struggle. Everything's been just outta whack. Crazy hormones, everything. I'm almost 40 now. [00:06:30] My whole body is freaking out, which is making my anxiety worse and I'm struggling there a little bit. [00:06:36] And because of that, I, once I got it that morning, I was like oh, that explains Thursday night. I was like, okay, I'm not crazy. And I know there's a lot of women that can relate to that. I just was feeling so anxious and mood swings and all over the place all day Thursday. And I'm like, what is going [00:07:00] on? [00:07:00] And I almost felt so much relief that like, okay. And I, it really was. It's like, oh, I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. And after I got it, I was like, this is, but it was also another thing I had to worry about because I had never had that happen to me. I've always can prevent it or push it back or I can at least bring what I need to take care of myself. [00:07:19] So that's when we, a lot of our CVS runs was like, I had to go do that. He had to go do that. And also like navigating, what does that mean and how much do you tell people? And when do you say that to a couple that you've just met? Yeah, like we had to steer away from quite a few. [00:07:35] Yeah. Like opportunities. Opportunities to play with some really fun people that we connected with. We had met a few and yeah, it sucks. It just sucks. It sucks. I mean, but I, I was there to spend time with you this weekend and you're like, I ruined the weekend. No, you didn't [00:07:53] And I understand how you feel that way because we never get to, we don't get to do many swinger things together [00:08:00] anymore. It's like very rare that we get to do stuff together. So it's like, I'm in my comfort zone I want to maybe play. And like he said, we had met some really hot, really cool couples on Thursday and Friday, and it was like, would've been a whole different weekend if that wouldn't have happened. [00:08:17] And there was like, there were opportunities and it was just different in navigating. And again, like I can, I'm sure there's a lot of women that have been through that and experience that. I know there has, I've talked to many of them and so I was like, I need to talk about it and I wanna bring it up. [00:08:33] 'cause I know, I know how that feels. Well and like we never, like, we don't wanna be the people that come out and say, oh, we can't play because yeah, I don't know when to bring it up. Navigating that. We just. Yeah, do what we do and just skeet, skeet, skeet, skeet. So to everybody that was there that weekend that you may or may not be listening. [00:08:54] We didn't, weren't avoiding you because we didn't like you. Because we're trying to figure out, I just [00:09:00] felt, I don't know. And it's brand new strangers you never met before. Yeah, my period. It just feels like, like every day you were like, I don't know, it's really light we, I might be able to, maybe and I wasn't worried about it, but, and then there was, I know this, you were definitely more worried about it then I was. [00:09:15] I know disks are a thing and everyone was like, I got disks and I just didn't know about experimenting with a thing for the first time at a place with new people that I, if it was friends or people we play with often, it wouldn't have felt so like, yeah, bad, terrifying, but I'm just a girl and I'm just a baby and I don't know what's happening and I am navigating all the things that you guys are all navigating. [00:09:37] And so I was like, I think it's very important to bring up though, because I think a lot of women have been there and a lot of people are worried about that. Yeah. I don't think, you're definitely not the first one that has happened to. No, no, not at all. I've heard so many, but you don't hear. No one talks about it, but you, no one talks about it. [00:09:51] So we, yeah, and it's very normal. It's a normal thing that happens to us and a lot of us are the same age range and we're kind of, we're going through things and [00:10:00] our bodies are changing and growing and we're doing lots of different stuff. So I was like, we need to bring it up. I think it's a good conversation to bring up and we, it was fine. [00:10:10] We still got to flirt, kiss, make out. My mouth was in perfectly great condition and in working order and I can vouch for that. Other things, you know, we still got to have time and do all that, but yeah, I did wanna bring that up. Yeah. But yeah, again, it really brought this, we had so much fun connecting with these people. [00:10:31] Yeah, we did that. If, yeah, or when we meet these people again, we connected with them and we, it's makes the anticipation that much better. Yeah. And then if we ever do play with any of these people, it's gonna make it that much more intense. And one of the couples was so sweet, they came up to me on, I think it was Sunday night. [00:10:54] And he's like, do you need a heating pad? Like she carries her heating pad everywhere she goes, and we [00:11:00] have one if you need one. And I was like, that was so sweet. I was like, no, I feel fine. I'm great. It's great. I just, you know, and no, I was like, well, thank you so much though. It was so sweet. So we did tell them, there was like certain ones we did [00:11:11] end up telling and stuff, but we had to learn, we were trying to figure out how to bring it up without killing the mood. And we're learning. Yeah. We're always learning. Yeah. We, we don't, we're not experts here either. We're doing the same stuff you guys are doing all of the time. [00:11:23] And it's weird. Yeah. [00:11:25] Get comfortable, being uncomfortable. You're gonna have to talk about that stuff. You have to, again, communication is key and sometimes you just gotta say it like, this is what's going on. [00:11:33] We're not sure how to navigate it. And, sorry. Like, it's not gonna be the same experience as you would've had otherwise. [00:11:39] But it was fun. It was a good soul. A good soul connecting weekend and yeah. But anyway, on to our, we still have two days to, oh yeah, sorry. We were just talking about all sorts of stuff, but we left off Friday night with Chip. Yeah. Old Chip. Yep. Good old Chip with Chip. Good old Chip. Chip was born that night. [00:11:59] Chip [00:12:00] was born that night. And yeah. So Saturday we had a seminar at 11:00 AM. Yeah. So we woke up and immediately had to get ready. It was a late night, so we were rushing in the morning. I didn't realize, still hadn't realized how big the last, the night before was. Lindsey came in the door. [00:12:20] I was everywhere 'cause we had a whole seminar. I was, I think most of my anxiety and my worry was the seminar. I am not a public speaker. No. Where we are not public speakers. [00:12:32] I have really bad stage fright. As soon as I stand there and I see people looking at me, my brain completely panics and I just wanna run and I forget everything. [00:12:41] It's just. It's always been that way. I've always struggled. This is really outside my comfort zone and I struggle with it, but at least it's just a camera. To me, it's a little easier at the time. I don't have to see people all staring at me. So yeah, I got up and Lindsey came in. We're both crying ever. [00:13:00] I'm like, this is my dream. [00:13:01] All my dreams were going to like this. Yeah. Ugh. You felt, you had, you felt like you were being a bad friend after the fact. Yeah. Because you were so worried about the seminar and, but I didn't realize how big, and you didn't realize all that happened. That was that night before. Yeah. I didn't realize it was on the middle of the road. [00:13:21] And so she was kind of trying to come and be like, look what happened. Yeah. And you were so panicked. Panicked, getting ready and so you later said like, I need to apologize. Yeah. 'cause I was being a bad friend. Yeah. I was so hyper-focused in the moment of just like, this is all you've dreamed of. Like you're gonna blow it if you don't get your life together. [00:13:49] And I felt a lot of pressure at that moment. And I am very, I guess I am very anxious person and I freak out [00:14:00] sometimes. Yeah. I overact sometimes. But we did get down there, we all did on time, get down there on time. And when we got down there, the door was closed and locked. Yeah. So we unlocked the door and opened it. [00:14:13] And there was a seminar before ours that was still in session. So I'm like, oh my bad. Closed the door. So we had, we stood there and talked to everyone coming to our seminar. Everyone coming to our seminar. And so the way Cate had set this up, it was the hotel. It was the hotel with the restaurant and lobby and everything. [00:14:36] And then there was like the driveway for the valet parking and then the conference room she had blocked off or had them block off the entrance and exit to the valet, like drive through for the hotel. So one people can't see. And but what it had done is it stopped [00:15:00] all airflow. So it was like a hot box and there was fans and stuff in there, but it was like [00:15:06] a heat tunnel. Yeah. So we're all standing in this driveway, basically talking, waiting for Bella and Prescott to finish theirs. Yeah. And stalling. Yeah. And then we got in there, so we didn't get to prepare. Yeah. We were thrown right into seminar with everyone ready to go. So we didn't even get a minute to really gather ourselves. [00:15:32] Yeah. Run through, run through it. Like, yeah, look at our notes, figure stuff out. I didn't wanna read anything I wanted to, I had worked so hard to like memorize it and I, but again, stage frights, I wanted to like run over it a few more times. We had no time, we were just, yeah. Thrown in there. Trying to get our life together and [00:15:53] it was a rough start. It was a really rough start 'cause of that, it was panic, pure panic, [00:16:00] everything we had again, rehearsed, practiced, everything gone, completely gone. And I looked at him and I was like, help. Yeah. So help me. The last seminar we did with Libertine, he up, I was the one that froze up. Yeah. [00:16:15] This time it was me. This flip flopped. It was, and she's like, I felt confident last time. Started, hey, this and that. Completely forgot. And like just went like, I could just see everything, just, just, you lose everything and you were lost. Yeah. And so I had to pick it up and it, I would say it was a rough five. [00:16:34] It was a rough five, 10 minutes once, but, once we got into it though, into stride, we realized no one's here to hurt us. Everyone is, wants to see us succeed. Everyone is on our side. No one's gonna. [00:16:46] It helps when you have that realization that everybody in the room is there to watch you succeed. [00:16:53] Support you. [00:16:53] Yeah. And support you. Yeah. They were the kindest people too. And once everyone was like warmed [00:17:00] up and everyone felt comfortable, I'd say we had, it was a big group, probably 30, 35 people in there. Yeah. Most of the chairs were full. It was a good size group and everyone was so excited to be there and get started and they were so kind. [00:17:14] They said that they met so many people and I really, really wanted this year to be focused on them doing most of the seminar because going into it, I know we're not public speakers. I know we are, this is probably gonna happen. We're not good at. At this. Yeah. We don't know what we're doing. We're still learning. [00:17:29] We've only, this is only our second one we've ever done, and so we decided that we were gonna really let them carry most of it and us just guide them. Yeah. After our initial speech, the speech was where we froze up. Yeah. The speech part was where, where, 'cause the whole seminar was about flirting. Flirting. [00:17:47] Making the first move and first move. And we wanted to kind of break down that. And that's what we froze up on. Yeah. We were, we were gonna teach that. So [00:18:00] we just, well, after we realized, all right, this is not gonna go well unless we, so we, we got, after about five, 10 minutes, we went into the breakout groups and we had, and we did it individually with the smaller groups and we both kind of took on like face to face. [00:18:15] Face-to-face. Kind of educating that way. Yeah. They were so receptive. And they said they actually learned a bunch of stuff. Yeah. They utilized a whole bunch of, we try to teach them little, using consent, how to use consent, how it can be sexy, how you can add it in there without it being weird, how you can use eye contact and smiling. [00:18:38] Just a smile. Just the eye contact. Yeah. Put the phone down. Nonverbal flirt. Nonverbal leaning in, but not being, not sniffing hair, pushy. We really tried to, you know, how do you, just a simple compliment, something a little deeper and how you can use that as an in or find something that you love and share. [00:18:58] Yeah. Shared interest and stuff and [00:19:00] once we actually got to talking to everyone and then we gave them each scenarios and how they would react and how they could flirt using that scenario. Yeah. We ended up working, like giving all the breakout groups, like different, different things and then we kind of just started working in the room and kind of highlighting each one and we worked and we lasted, it lasted hour [00:19:26] an hour. Yeah. And everyone wanted everybody. We still had more we could have done and everyone was so beautiful. Oh my gosh. Everyone was so amazing. We had some really good conversation and we met, we saw so many people afterwards having lunch together that were part of our groups and people that we connected with [00:19:44] through that, we kept on all weekend we were like, Hey, friend, like it was so good and everyone kept coming to us like, that was so much fun. Thank you for doing it. Yes, we met so many good people and we learned stuff and I was like, [00:19:55] we might not be the most graceful, we might not be professional like everyone else, [00:20:00] but once we started to get into what we're good at, we are good at people. [00:20:04] We're good at connecting with humans one-on-one. We're good at small groups of people and really teaching them that way. In this kind of stuff, it's, we remembered who we were. [00:20:15] Once we, once we got say everybody like talking. Yeah. Then it really, it took the eyes off of us, off of us and we could relax and actually just get into stride. [00:20:26] Yeah. It was more of our, what we do well and that's how we do it. But that ended up going really well, so good. And then right after ours was basic, the professional version, basic, but basically the same thing, but with actual licensed therapists. Therapists and couples coaches Expansive Connection afterwards, [00:20:46] did speed dating and flirting seminar. Yeah. They went and actually went into clinical side of it. Yeah. [00:20:54] Different types of flirters, different types of personalities. Yeah. What are who? [00:21:00] Who's more comfortable doing what and professional version of what we were trying to say. Yeah, yeah. They were, yeah. And then they had their breakout sessions. And they had kind of similar but different like breakout games, whatever you wanna call 'em. They did circles though, where they each rotated an inside circle and outside circle. So you got to meet a new couple and it was, it was [00:21:23] cute. We kept getting with the same couple they were, yeah. So much fun. They were fun. They were so fun. She, they, they were both hilarious. They were, but then we were talking about, you know, dynamics and play styles and stuff like that. [00:21:38] And I said, we mentioned how we're recently kind of exploring the whole hot wife. And so you are going on your own a little bit. And that's what she does. That's what they, their dynamic is. And that's, that's what they're, they lean towards the hot wife dynamic. [00:21:56] And she's like, I consider myself more of a warm wife. I told [00:22:00] her, I was like, I am stealing that. I am now a warm wife. That is a perfect way to describe it. Perfect. Perfect. I loved that so much. That was funny. Yeah, it was. They were funny. They were a funny, they were, they were a fun couple [00:22:13] [00:22:14] Looking to add some excitement to your social life?

We were always with them the whole time. But after that we made our way to the pool. Yeah. We checked out the pool party. There was [00:23:00] a pool party every day, every afternoon. The dj, dj, they had [00:23:04] drinks up there, bartenders, it was set up like Splash if you've ever been in a Splash Atlanta. It was set up like that where the hotel rooms were around the pool. It was like in the middle of the hotel. So we went up there and checked that out. We didn't stay there very long. No. It was. Pool was packed [00:23:19] full busy of people. It was very busy and we were like, we need food soon. We need to figure out food. We hadn't really eaten anything much and we've been running all morning and stuff, so we were like, we gotta start thinking about food. We ended up laying down not doing food. We ended up laying down and it was nice though. [00:23:38] We turned the lights off, shut the blinds and just relaxed. Those blinds though. They were the worst thing. And they would never shut. So there was something, there was something wrong with the mechanism. It was one of those big, where it was like a big roll and it would go down, but then it wouldn't want to come back up. [00:23:56] And it had those chains with the little, [00:24:00] a fan. Yeah. And it kept breaking so you have to put 'em back together. It was just super annoying and it would never get dark, dark 'cause it always had, it had to be open, it wouldn't go down any farther. So it was still sunlight in there, but we tried to blacken the room out. [00:24:15] Turn on Hunger Games or no, we turned on Maze Runner. Yeah. And just to relax, we took a quite a few, like little, I never fell asleep. You did a few times, but we took quite a few moments, like an hour or two whenever we could. And just relax and lay down and just unwind. Yeah. Just got away. Drink water. [00:24:33] Just drink water. Take a nap. Take a nap, do all the things that we tell everybody to do. We really did try to do it for ourselves. And yeah, we took a little nap and then we had friends that were there. They came down to the room. Yeah. Well these friends we've known for a long time. Yeah. This is the first time actually meeting them in person. [00:24:53] In person, because they live in Texas. So they, we finally met [00:25:00] them Friday and then Saturday we got to hang out a little bit at the pool, this and that. And then after we relaxed for a little bit, we were getting up, we were like, we get something to eat and said, Hey, you wanna come down, visit, have a couple drinks or whatever before we get something to eat? [00:25:22] We had made plans for dinner with this other couple we connected with on Thursday. Thursday. Yeah. We didn't know any times though. No. We didn't have phone numbers. That's, that's the thing. Yeah. We're all connecting through that app, app that the event uses. You don't get it right on time. [00:25:39] You don't get notified. Yeah. Like you do on a text message or something. So everybody would see each other in the hallway. And Lindsey and Rob came in and said that they were going out to dinner in 10 minutes and we were all going. Yeah. So they had gotten a big group of us together, like 12 of us. [00:25:54] And they had met in the hallway or, and they're like, yeah, we're leaving in like 10 minutes. I'm like, I wanted to shower, get [00:26:00] real clothes on. We didn't get to. We didn't get to, so threw the clothes on we had at the seminar and went to dinner. 12 of us. We ended up gathering people as we walked out the door and yeah, you know how it goes. [00:26:12] Everybody's hungry. Come on, come on with us. So we had a group of like 12 of us that walked down. They picked the best restaurant. They gave me hope in San Antonio food again. I've never had anything I've liked in San Antonio food wise ever. And we love Mexican food. Yeah, do all the time. Had it all over the place. [00:26:32] Even in Mexico. Like I, I'm here for it. Never have ever eaten anything in San Antonio that I liked. It's been bad. This place was so good and the service was absolutely amazing. Yeah, the waiter was. He, I feel like the waiter knew. He killed it. He killed him. The waiter definitely knew something. He got paid well for it. [00:26:51] Everyone was so happy he was on it. Yeah, it was. We had steak fajitas. Steak fajitas and queso and salsa. We did all, got all the things and it [00:27:00] was so good and then we brought it back for later. Yeah. We thought ahead we, so we both were full. Yeah. And we just so happened to be two more tortillas and I'm like, we're gonna need a to-go box and we made two [00:27:15] two fajitas, rolled them up, put 'em in and took 'em back. Put 'em in the fridge. Because we knew later, later that was going to be good. Yeah. Yes. So, but then after dinner, which was again fantastic. So good. So many laughs and. Just really good conversation. Had to really, really meet couples that we didn't get a chance to really talk to. [00:27:40] Yeah, it's been loud. It's always loud. You don't get a chance when there's so many people around. It's different when you get to sit down at dinner and actually have conversations with people and connect and stuff. So yeah, it was fun. Yeah. But then it was time, like yeah, we got back for the night party. [00:27:54] The, and then we finally took showers like we wanted and it was time to get ready for the night party. [00:28:00] Yeah. Yeah. And that was a really good theme that I hope everyone does all the time. I hope it catches on. 'cause it was wear your fantasy, so the whole premise was to have a, a costume with a story or like something that you don't get to wear very often. [00:28:16] Something you've bought that you've just never had a place to wear it to, something with a story behind it, something that was out there, something that you just love or you're comfortable, anything that you really love. Yeah. It was literally anything you wanted and that's what everyone did. And it was just a concoction. [00:28:33] It was, it looked like chaos. It was chaos in the best. Everyone was wearing wings. I miss the wing and the leather memo was, there was someone with like eight foot wings, like enormous. Yeah. She, she was always like had go against the wall, anything in the corner against the wall because she. Beautiful wings. [00:28:49] Biggest ones I've ever seen in my life. But it was, everyone was all over the place. A lot of leather, a lot of harnesses, chokers, yeah. I did see a lot of BDSM themes. I [00:29:00] missed that memo. We ended up going in our New Year's Eve outfits because they're too fancy for anything else. It's never fit. Yeah, we, but we love them so much. [00:29:07] I love that dress. It's like my favorite and I never have a reason to wear it. You got so many compliments on your dress. I forgot it was a New Year's Eve outfit because it's very heavy. It's for the winter time, it's not for a swinger event. And that was a bad idea. But then I added on masquerade masks that we had gotten five years ago at a random party and I never had a chance to wear 'em. [00:29:25] And I always look at 'em on my shelf and they're red and black and they're always so pretty. So I was like, that works. I mean, there's a story right there. So we wore that and we. It was so much fun. We had fire play. We had more fire play. We got to all, yeah, get our hands on fire. So the performers that she hired did a whole fire performance this night. [00:29:45] Yeah. And he had where a thing where it like bubbled up with basically propane and butane. Mm-hmm. And he put the bubbles on his partner and then lit it on fire and whole show. Whole [00:30:00] show. It was very sexy. And, and then he was like, anybody wanna be lit on fire? Come back to the back. So all us girls go running to the back. [00:30:09] Yeah. Yeah. He's like, so anyone that wants to safely be set on fire Yeah. Come on. Meet me back here. And so we were like, so everybody migrated back there. Everybody got set on. All the girls, all the girls got set on fire. Yeah. That was fun. And it actually does burn a little. I wasn't expecting to feel anything. [00:30:27] Yes, it does. It's. There's heat there. It's hot. I was surprised by that. I thought it'd be less hot. It was hot. Like I liked that. That was fun. We had a lot of fun. That was a good night. [00:30:37] I, I liked it. Then so me, you, Rob, and Lindsey all migrated to Rob and Lindsey's room. And we all did a shot and we're standing up there talking and where the room was is, so the floor that we were staying on was the same floor that the Playrooms were on, and it was the rest of the [00:31:00] hosts and, and the other hosts and Cate, vendors, and staff. [00:31:03] And vendors and staff. Yeah. So we, so everybody that was going to the playrooms had to walk past Rob and Lindsey's room. Yeah, it was right off the elevator. It was like right into their room. And they see everybody in there talking, partying. The lights. The lights, you know how it is. And hotel takeovers, Secret, that vibe where you see doors open and people, everybody's just popping in. [00:31:27] That's how you make friends all the time. So naturally everybody's popping in. And so we stayed up there for the rest of the night, basically the whole night. Yeah, we had people in there. Met so many people coming into the playroom. Yeah, we met so many couples just on the way to the play rooms or on the way back from the playroom. [00:31:42] Everybody that was coming up. 'cause it was the end of the night. So everyone was pretty much on that floor and we just kind of had our own little party upstairs and it was, it was fun. So I skipped ahead. I apologize. Earlier in the night we had a conversation with other [00:32:00] people about signals and not reading the room basically. [00:32:08] And not listening to your partner. Yeah. Yeah. It happened a few times this trip. Yeah. And it, it's not even that there isn't a signal, there is a very clear signal. It's just making sure that you're checking in with your partner constantly and you're on the same pages. [00:32:24] And we had a really good conversation that night we talked to. I think that they understand and they get it now 'cause we were very clear. But it's so important. We really talked about that in the room that evening about how, not like having a signal, a code word, a say for it is great. You need to do that too. [00:32:43] But when your partner doesn't even hear that, because they're so intertwined in their own fantasy and their own, it's, they're having a great time. They're not, it wasn't intentional. They're not being intentional. They're not trying to, you are, and I, I've been guilty of this as well. Yeah. [00:32:58] We've seen it happen. So I'm not calling [00:33:00] anybody out. But [00:33:02] you get so involved in connecting with this other person that you honestly lose track of how long you've been connecting with them and you don't check back with your partner and meanwhile you're not having a great time and your partner's not having a great time. [00:33:21] And it seems like forever for them. Yeah. For them. Yeah. So I, I've been guilty of doing that. Like we've, I've done it, we've done it. We've seen it happen so many times. That's why I wanna bring it up. It's, it is just so important to make sure you're constantly checking in. [00:33:36] At least looking at them, making sure you're making eye contact something 'cause then, you're over here, you have one person that's just yeah, help. Yeah. Save me. Yeah. And it becomes a problem. And then there's resentment that come from that. And you're not listening, you're not watching me, you're not taking my signals, you're not hearing me. [00:33:55] And it does build this little bit of tension and, yeah, it ruins the vibe. [00:34:00] It really does it, ruins the vibe. It's a bad experience. So, yeah, I think it's worth saying something and talking about, make sure you're constantly checking in on your person. Make sure you're listening. Yeah. When they're telling you, we had a very blunt conversation with these particular people, so they've been very clear. [00:34:15] They've done the signals, they've done all the things right. It wasn't being heard though. And no, that happens quite often. And so yeah, that was very important. We spent a lot of that evening talking about that. And yeah, just a lot of stuff about business and the lifestyle. [00:34:31] And we got to connect with a lot of people in the space and a lot of conversation. I know it's not spicy. I know it's not the story that you want to hear that happened, but hopefully a lot of you listening understand and know that is what the lifestyle is mostly, is a lot of connecting and talking and building relationships and building friendship and spending time with your partner. [00:34:52] We had spicy time together. Yeah. But it wasn't like that for this weekend with everyone else. Which happens, especially when you're hosting, especially when [00:35:00] you're the responsible people. So we do try to really just hang out and connect and help people and talk about that kind of stuff and help other people out. [00:35:08] And it's not as spicy as most people want. Yeah. But we end up so you don't get laid very much when you're hosting. Yeah, that's true. I mean, you just don't, but we're busy. We are. And there's a whole. It's just a different kind of experience that we have. And it's a whole different dynamic too. People haven't hosted, may not understand. [00:35:32] There's this whole power dynamic, power dynamic where somebody may not, may feel like they can't say no because we are hosts, we have to navigate it very carefully and we never wanna put anyone in. So we're very standoffish in advancing things in that way because especially in these situations because we don't want to make somebody feel like they can't say no or stop something. [00:35:58] It's our biggest fear is the [00:36:00] power dynamic and where we just want to be careful. We just be careful. Yeah. And we're picky. We already, without all of our stuff we have within the lifestyle and stuff, before that, we have always been very like careful about who we put our energy into and whose energy we allow around us and call us picky, call us, whatever. [00:36:21] But that's just how we do swinging. That's how we do it. And it's different than most people. But understand that, I want people to understand that. When we tell these stories and it's just like, oh, we talked all night and then we went to bed and then we got up and then we ate breakfast and then we talked and then we went to bed. [00:36:35] Because that's usually how it goes. 99% of the time we are talking and meeting. We have met hundreds of people in this journey. Easy. I've met tens, if not thousands. I don't know. I'm kidding. Met quite a few more than that. But I'm saying hundreds and hundreds of people that we've spoken to and connected with and talked to and we do a lot of talking. [00:36:59] Our [00:37:00] voices. Yeah. Anytime we come back from an event for two days, we, he never has a voice. I, yeah. Monday at my, my, yeah. Monday. I had no voice. I was whispering all day. Yes. Tough. This was almost an ASMR episode. We're just all whispering. We talked about just whispering the whole episode. This has been a struggle. [00:37:17] We've been doing really well. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to do a podcast this week because we have no voice, 'cause we had no voices. So, yeah. But understand that. We just kind of wanna explain that it's just a different. It's a different journey, but yeah. Anyway, so at the end of Saturday night, there was, ended up being maybe six people in this room, all just talking, laughing, laughing, laughing, making jokes, making fun of each other. [00:37:44] Yeah, talking shit. It was, it was funny. It was like Cate was there hanging out with us. Rob and Lindsey, whole crew of people. There's a whole crew of people in there, but it was, and the night before, like every night, we were just kind of like, what we do, [00:38:00] any of these events or hotel takeovers or any of that. [00:38:02] We just, we went into other people's rooms. That's how we met a lot of people. And we just would hang out in their room. Anyone with the door open? You just kind of go in and peek in. [00:38:11] And besides being in our room and Lindsey and everybody, we were also just all weekend just bouncing to everyone else's rooms. It's like any other hotel takeover. You just, any doors open, which everyone leaves a door open and you just kind of pop in and say hi. Everybody wants to laugh. Yeah. And have a great time. [00:38:28] And that's how you meet people and that's what you do at these things. We spent a lot of time in other rooms of people that we didn't know and we just kind of all, yeah, like as you walk down the hall, like. People will see you walk by, be like, you want a drink? [00:38:42] Yeah. You wanna come in? Sure, yeah. Yeah. And you go in and hang out for, depending on what feels like five minutes, it ends up being an hour and a half. Yeah. That's how it's all night of just talking. It's because we're just hopping around. We meet people in the hallway, people in the pool. I know Cate and a whole crew of people, we were going over the [00:39:00] bridge that went over top at some point in the weekend and they were yelling at us. [00:39:03] Yeah. There was a whole bunch of people down at the pool and they're yelling at us. Hooping, hollering. [00:39:08] But when you have a whole hotel and it's just full of your people, everyone's just living their best life. Everyone is just so happy to be there. Everyone is a great time and so easy to make friends at these. [00:39:20] You don't even have to try to make friends. [00:39:21] Everyone is just so welcoming and just, no one wants to be sad. No one wants to be mad. Nobody wants, everyone just wants to have a great time and they're so fun and so funny. And yeah. So a lot of that this weekend in and out of rooms. A lot of hanging out, A lot of talking. [00:39:38] Yeah. But that kind of wraps up Saturday. It was. Had a lot. Bed. Yeah, it was a big day. We had a big day. It was, we're tired. Well, after the seminar, we could finally just breathe. Yeah. Yes, that's what I was, I was, I don't know if I said it or not, but I was thinking it earlier. I think a lot of the anxiety that I was holding and a lot of the weight I was [00:40:00] holding was on that seminar. [00:40:01] 'cause I feel a lot of pressure to be perfect at all times. And it's not realistic. So a lot of that went away as soon as the seminar was over, so much pressure was off and it felt, I just don't want anybody down, Cate especially. [00:40:13] She is the only one in this space in this entire time we've done it, that has believed in us and trusted us and given us this huge opportunity. And just said, here you go, do with it whatever you want. And nobody does that. That's unheard of here. Yeah. That's all we've ever asked for in this whole entire time was to just, we love collabing with people. [00:40:35] We love helping each other. And Cate believes in that so much and has given us that space finally to be like, here you go. She shares it. Yeah. So here's an hour on this day. Do whatever you want with it. There's microphones and whatever you wanna talk about, whatever you wanna do with them. And she doesn't. [00:40:52] She just trusts us. And some reason that, so the first thing I said, I was like, for some reason, I'm not sure why Cate gave us these microphones in this room and all of you beautiful [00:41:00] people 'cause she is insane. But we love her and I don't wanna let her down. And I just don't, I wanna make sure that I am helping everyone there and making sure everything is great and perfect for them and everyone's having the best experience. [00:41:12] It's not realistic and I know that, but it's, I still feel it. No matter what I'm telling myself. I still feel it. And so once it was over and went well, also, people have to remember that this is your job. Yeah. It's different. It's a thing. So just like I, when I talk to my boss, I always tell my boss my expectations and standards are so much higher than his. [00:41:34] Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. The expectations and standards for myself are higher than their standards for me. I understand my standards are unattainable, but that's what keeps me trying to strive for that. That's just who we are as we. It's just who we are as people. And so we put a lot of pressure on ourselves always. [00:41:56] And if we don't meet [00:42:00] this unattainable goal, we feel like we are a failure. Yeah, we're failure. And this whole weekend was a whole bunch of that. It was a whole learning experience. And it was a lot of all the work that I've been working really hard on. Things about myself that I've been working through this past few months has all kind of came together and it was like, bitch, you've, you've done the work. [00:42:22] You know what your worth is. You know what your space is. You know what you burned at the table. Like stop, stop it. And it really was, it all came into like that. And yeah. Yeah. I had to work through that and had to, it's easy to retract back to your old ways and the old self, and it's very easy to just run. [00:42:41] And it, it was a lot of you can either run or you can take it. And it was it, when we took it on Saturday during the seminar, it was very empowering. Yeah. And reminded us who we are, what we bring to this space. That we do know we're talking about. That people want us around and we're here for a reason. [00:42:57] We have a purpose and stuff. [00:43:00] Yes. And so it was a lot of that. And the weekend, it was, it was a perfect, perfect space of people to be in, to get through that and to work through that. And it was, it was good. It was a good one. But yeah. And then that was Saturday. Yeah. And then, so we, we slept in Sunday. [00:43:17] Yeah. We did slept in, we slept in, we tried to sleep in every day, but we slept in Sunday. Yeah, we slept in, 'cause we had a canal cruise we were hosting. Yeah. We got, Cate also made us host of a canal cruise. So we had like 30 people that we had to get safely down to the Riverwalk onto a boat. Be in charge. [00:43:38] We had to sign paperwork and we were also not sure where we were going, what we doing. We were also doing tourists, so it was fun. Yeah. We also didn't know the area, so I knew the general area, like vicinity, where we were going, had a map. I also didn't know which side of the river walk the boat ramp was on. [00:43:54] We found it. It wasn't, it was great. It went fine. So we made it our way down [00:44:00] to the Riverwalk. Spent an hour. An hour and a half. Hour and a half. Something like that. [00:44:05] We had the best tour guide. With the tour guide. He was so good. Cruising around the river. He's been doing it like 33 years. He was on, he's on a movie coming out on Hallmark. He Oh yeah. Like he's been doing it forever. He's like working his way up. He does radio and stuff. He was fun. [00:44:20] He lived and breathed San Antonio and that was another moment that came around where I was like, I could see the charm. I could, he really did make me understand and changed my thinking about San Antonio. I appreciate, I appreciate that a lot. 'cause I needed that. But it was, it was so nice and everybody just, it was a nice calm afternoon. [00:44:40] Yeah, it was beautiful weather. He was great. Everyone, our group was great. More new people that we didn't know and [00:44:46] yeah, it was, it was a good afternoon. It was a good way to spend the afternoon. It was the last afternoon. It was the last day. It was, everyone was tired. Everyone. It's exhausting. Events are exhausting. It was a Sunday. It was a whole Sunday. Kept saying that all [00:45:00] day. It's a whole Sunday. Whole Sunday. And yeah, we did that and we got back right in time for Burlesque class. [00:45:06] And I had been wanting to try that and I was curious about it, but it started at three. The boat was over. It was supposed to be over at three. So I was like, I'm not probably gonna make that. So everyone, the doors were open, everyone was in there. And so we were just gonna peek in, see what they're doing. I just was gonna watch. [00:45:21] And then the sweetest women ever, it was such a sweet group of people and men that were there. And they were like, come on, come on. Do it with us. So I did it. I'm not graceful and my, I'm very stiff body and I don't do very well at dancing. Love doing it. Not well at it, but it was fun. It was so fun. It was just a group of people that were just feeling themselves. [00:45:46] There was men with Boas. Everyone was just, oh, it was so beautiful. I was sitting along the side with a whole bunch of the husbands, the men were all sitting in the chairs watching the wives having a show, a free show. And they [00:46:00] were like cheering us on. And it was a, it was a great everything. Cate's got everything you could ever want to do and imagine and she thinks of everything and the people that she has running it. Perfect. [00:46:13] And the people that she has at her events are next level, you'll not find it. That's why we brought Rob and Lindsey. Rob and Lindsey, were very, a lot of our friends are very burnt out with the party hard scene, the very fast scene. It's a different, you know, down here in Southeast, it's been go, go, go, go, go. [00:46:31] And that's when we told them about Libertine. It's just a, you're not gonna find that anywhere else, and you can't describe it unless you have been to a Libertine event. It's a, the group that comes along is so beautiful, so, such beautiful souls. Yeah. And so if you're looking for something more and it's, there was cocktail making class, there's so many things you could do. [00:46:51] Yeah. Signups for all the Sunday activities open. Like she had signups at 10 o'clock in the morning. We got down there at 10 30. They were already [00:47:00] long gone. I mean, there was a lineup. Those cocktail classes were gone quick. [00:47:04] And I wanted to do that so bad. We made it, but we thought we were there early. We thought. Yeah. Like, oh yeah, yeah. But in that 15 minutes where we missed it, one boat, like Canal Cruise was completely full. Ours was two thirds full, and both the cocktail making classes were full. They had a line down the lobby. [00:47:24] I was like, impressive. Dang. Everyone was excited and, but yeah, there was so many different classes and different things you could do and. It was. It was endless. But we ended up making it to a burlesque class. I was so excited that I did make it to the burlesque class. You did. It was, you got a pink boa. [00:47:40] Yeah, pink boa. And now I'm gonna practice on my own. I could do it on my own a little bit better. The, so after the burlesque class, the floor of this conference room was just covered in feathers. It was so many feathers [00:48:00] everywhere. And then also in the hallways. In the elevator, yeah. That you, because it sticks to like your shoes and your feet and everything. [00:48:07] No, everybody knows. Swinger events that's just, you see feathers everywhere. It's just part of it. But yeah. And then we, I think we took another nap again. Took a nap. We got hot dogs. Oh we did. We got hot dogs. We ended up just, we needed food and there wasn't very much food around right where we were. [00:48:26] Unless you went down to the, like Riverwalk. If you went down to the Riverwalk. Which, it was right there. Yeah, it was right there. But like I really wasn't feeling Mexican. No, that's really, and that's the only like barbecue. There was one barbecue place and the rest of the places are Mexican. Which, you're in San Antonio, I get it. [00:48:45] We were kind of out off of the Riverwalk a little bit, so you had to walk a little bit of a ways to get there and it was down and we were the end at the Riverwalk. But we found a hotdog place and we dipped it in for a hot dog. Yeah, we're walking around just for looking, just kind of [00:49:00] like looking for some that catches our eye. And I looked. Chili cheese, uh, and I saw gourmet hot dogs. I'm like. I could eat a hot dog. Yeah. We've been on a hot dog kick. We got hot dogs. [00:49:12] We sat there, had hot dogs. We took another nap. We really tried to be good. We tried to rest, we tried to eat, we tried to hydrate. We had case water. We were really worked hard to do all the things we preached to everybody. That's what we got. Protein shakes and water and stuff. And then while we're out, we're like, we need to get real food real, something more than a protein shake. [00:49:34] So yeah. Yeah. We did hot dogs and I was so excited for Sunday night because we were going to Colette, San Antonio. [00:49:41] We have been to Colette, New Orleans and Colette Dallas, and we had never been to San Antonio, so I, and I have loved every Colette club that I've been to. Yeah. And so I was really excited to check it out. She booked all of Colette and was doing shuttle buses, but beforehand at seven we were going down and she had [00:50:00] snacks and then two different drinks that you can get on the house. [00:50:03] Yeah. She had, yeah. Mojito and another blue drink. Was my jam. That's my favorite. They're both fruity drinks, whatever, that were safe. Yeah. And then we had tapas. Empanadas. Empanadas, some chicken skewers and mozzarella cheese ball skewers with, yeah, [00:50:22] tomatoes. I was trying to think of the name. Balsamic vinegar. I was trying to think. It has a name. I couldn't, can't think of it right now. Anyways, it was, yeah, she had snacks and drinks. She had snacks and drinks. Everybody just said goodbye and mingled and connect and get numbers before a whole club night. [00:50:37] So we had a whole club night on a Sunday night, which we've never done. That night's theme was lace. We were excited about that. [00:50:45] It was another more BDSM. Everyone kind of went with leather, lace. It was. You wore your really, like, I love the dress you had on it. Yeah, I wear that a lot. That's my trusty. Like black and then it has like lace, the middle in the middle and lace choker. I had [00:51:00] my lace blazer. That is my favorite. [00:51:01] And your white pants. And my white pants and the harness underneath it. I love that outfit. It was my favorite outfit. But we went down, we had snacks. Went back up. Got our pictures, did all, got all our swinger stuff. 'cause we had to, I had worn flip flops down there 'cause I was not trying to wear, I'd worn heels for three nights. [00:51:19] I was not wearing heels again until I had to. So I had changed shoes, we got our pictures, ran down to go get in line to shuttle. The traffic, there was a road closure no one else was expecting. So every, it stopped, everything. And it took, it was already 25 minute drive there, so, yeah. [00:51:38] Which I didn't realize at the time. It was a hike, but, and then they had a road closure and traffic, regular traffic and it was chaos. So we just grabbed an Uber and all jumped in a big Uber and we made it down there. It was in a strip mall. Yeah, it was kind of reminded me of Red Room. You had said Red Room. [00:51:58] Yeah. It reminded me of kind of that venue in [00:52:00] Nashville. Yeah, it had definitely had that vibe towards that. Yeah. Not the club, but where that, and loved the club. John and Jackie, if you ever listen. Amazing. So good. I've, there's so many good things in there that one day, our dream is to one day own our own club. [00:52:16] So we do enjoy going all over the country and just kind of taking note of all of our little favorite things and things we would love to do in a space one day we have one. Yeah, like walking in first impressions, it was very much almost like a strip club vibe. Yeah. It remind me a little of Tempted, a little. It was like a strip club vibe with a really nice dance floor. [00:52:38] On the actual floor, lots of poles and cages. They had the stage with the poles and they had the stage with the cages, the dancing, the pole, there's three poles in the middle. There's a stage, and then there's the main stage with poles and cages. And it reminded me a little of Tempted. [00:52:53] Because it was the floors, the multilevel and the balconies and stuff. A nice bar on the left when you walk in. And [00:53:00] then, yeah, it was a lot of tables and chairs and then stages and poles and they had a shadow box, which I had never done. And that was fun. That was really fun. We were lucky we had connected with this couple that are from San Antonio. [00:53:12] And so they're like you on a tour because you know they're, you take pride. So we do the same thing at Trapeze. She was giving us the grand tour of the whole space and yeah. She was so sweet and gave us Yeah, like the local tour and so showed us everything. We would've not seen all that stuff [00:53:29] otherwise, they had a glory hole and all the play rooms and it was just, it was a lot of space. It was a lot of room in there. I was surprised. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a good, another good colette. It was a really great time. We danced a lot. Did the Wobble. [00:53:46] I got to do my Wobble in San Antonio, Texas. he went up and requested the wl. I'm like, and had everyone of this. Yeah. Which, that, yeah. I went to the dj. I'm like, Hey man. [00:53:55] He is like, what you, what can I do for you? I'm like. There's not enough people. They hate that request too. They [00:54:00] hate it. I'm like, there's not enough people out there. I'm like, I will get everybody in this club on the dance floor. That's the reason why I like the wobble isn't because of the song or the dance. [00:54:09] You play the wobble. It's so much fun. But yeah, we did that. It was fun. It was a really good night. We got such up. They did a fashion show. [00:54:17] They did a fashion show, and everyone, oh, everyone got up on the middle stage and just did their little dances, did their little poll, spun around. Ugh. It was a so beautiful, again, greatest group of people you'll ever meet, and I cannot wait to see them again. [00:54:33] They were all just so free and all just so, ugh, body positivity. [00:54:38] Uh, they'll make you feel so good about yourself. They keep you in check and such a great group of humans. [00:54:44] I love them so much. But yeah, we did that. We, and then headed back. [00:54:49] We missed the last shuttle. We almost made it. Didn't have all of our stuff ready. So we stayed a little bit longer and ended up just Ubering back. And then we, well, I ordered an Uber and there was a [00:55:00] group outside and I'm like, guys, I ordered an Uber XL for this reason. [00:55:07] Didn't know any of them. I didn't know any of 'em. Didn't know any of them, but, so we all piled into this Uber XL with strangers. Come on in. Yeah. And as we do, just all rode back and we all went our separate ways. And then we ended up back in the same hotel room full of people. Same group of people as the night before until, God, I don't know how, when we finally went to bed, but it was late. [00:55:34] We laughed and laughed. Oh, that was so much fun. And I got to connect with Cate. Haven't really had any time in the time we've known her, the years we've known her to really just t-shirt on end of the night. Just human, you know, just everything. And we got to connect and we got to talk to a lot of good people and hang out with a lot of people. [00:55:55] Had some awkward moments, some weirdness. It was uncomfortable. [00:56:00] We had to navigate being swingers, as you know, we're always learning. We're always in weird, uncomfortable situations. There's a always stuff happening to us that's happening to you guys too. We're always navigating the same thing. So, you know, and had a great laugh. [00:56:17] We great people. It, it was so, yeah, so good. It's always fun 'cause for the actual organizer like Cate, that's actually investing in these events. And it is so like, I don't know how she actually does it, because she went to bed the same times that we were going to bed and she was up [00:56:43] early, like she, that woman couldn't have slept for three days. It's crazy. But that last night you could finally see it's over. It's over. And she just kind of put her hair down a little bit and laughed and [00:57:00] talked shit. And it was so much fun. Good. Laughs good. Good memories, good times, good conversation. [00:57:07] Got to learn more about her and outside of the professional space and social media. Yeah, it's fun just to, you know, yeah. We know each other from social media. That's really, yeah. That's really it. So it's nice to see people outside of that. Yeah. As people. See them as people. That's what I was gonna say. [00:57:23] Yeah, definitely. It was a big weekend personally with us. We had a really good time and we navigated some big things. We worked through a lot of stuff. It was a great memory. I cannot wait to do it again. I hope that we get to do it again with that group, because it is highly recommend if you're looking for something different, something you don't get to see all the time. [00:57:45] Something more Libertine events is where you're gonna find that it's. It's so good. So good. So good. And yeah, then we were off Monday. We luckily didn't have to fly out until five o'clock, so [00:58:00] we checked out like normal. Yeah, it was, we packed up in the morning, checked out like normal, went right to the airport and Lindsey's work friends picked us back up. [00:58:09] Dropped us back off. We got there, ate dinner or ate lunch. Plenty of time to sit and relax, wander around, get coffee, get drinks, get. We flew like wee like on the way home. Yeah. And it was good that way. [00:58:22] We were tired. We were, and then there was no layover on, it was a direct flight, which was nice. It was perfect for the last day. Yeah. And got back to Atlanta then. Oh, we should have drove to the airport. So we had to drive 45 minutes to go to their house to get our car to drive two and a half hours home, which yeah, I mean, it wasn't horrible. [00:58:45] Horrible after, but we could have saved 45 minutes if we just would've drove home. That ride from Atlanta was tough. It was a tough 'cause we were tired. It was like 11:00 PM at this point, and we were done. We were tired. So it was a long day, but so worth [00:59:00] it and can't wait to do it again. Such a beautiful group of people. [00:59:04] If you guys are listening, I know there's some of you listening. I love you. I mean it so much. Thank you for being so kind and amazing, beautiful, wonderful people. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. My soul needed it. It was a good, good memory. Good times in San Antonio, Texas. Yeah, it was a good time. [00:59:23] Yeah, that was, we did have a time. What? What does it say? We had a time last night. That's what we said at the airport Monday morning. We had a time last night. We did not. We were all planning on going to bed early, being good responsible adults, knowing we have to fly out the next night. We were gonna go to bed early, be good, but then you can't, you're just trying to soak up every little minute you can with these people. [00:59:46] We don't get to see each other very often. We just wanted to keep soaking in as long as possible. So that's how we end up in bed at 4:00 AM. But I don't regret it. It's so worth it. We have so much fun and thank you Cate so [01:00:00] much with Libertine events. Thank you. Definitely check them out if you're looking for something amazing. [01:00:06] Wonderful. Beautiful. Go do it. It's gonna be worth it, I promise. And hey, she's still got Miami in May of next year, and then Scottsdale will be October of 2026. I really wanna go to that one. That's gonna be, yeah, Scottsdale would be fun. It looks beautiful. It's gonna be a good one. [01:00:21] So yeah, go check them out. We will have all of that, all of our links and as always, it's not that serious. Don't make it weird. We love you guys. Bye. Bye. [01:00:33] [01:00:41] ​
