allthatjaz -> How not to run a munch (7/24/2009 4:59:38 AM)
Arriving in a new town we decided to look up the local munch. We were pleased to find one just a few miles from us and decided to give it a go. Now we are avid munch and club goers and have had the experience of good and not so good munches but we like to keep an open mind. Arriving at the munch we looked out for Mistress Munchrunner and soon spotted her with her (as advertised) rose on the lapel. We walked over, smiled and introduced ourselves (or at least tried to). It only took us about 2 seconds to realize that she was as drunk as a skunk. She turned her back on us, fell to her knees and started screeching 'fredeeeeeeeeeee, FREDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I need some lovin'. We stood back and watched as Fredi hurried over to give her a hug before helping her up. We got ourselves a drink before introducing ourselves to some more sober people. Nice people, interesting people. Steve was chatting away to this woman when Mistress Munchrunner staggered over and grabbed his arm and slurred 'oooh hate your tats, only stupid people have tats'. He ignored her and continued to talk to the other woman who blushed and apologized for her friends drunken and rude behavior. I was over the other side of the room chatting to an interesting guy when she walked up, plonked herself on his knee, turned her back on me and then started to demand that he pulled her hair. I looked over at a few lone and bewildered people that were looking very lost and decided to go and spend my time with them. I can't imagine what it must be like for someone totally new to this who has plucked up the courage to go to his/her first munch. I thought her behavior was appalling and in all my years of munching have never come across a munch organizer as bad as this. Any others had bad munch experiences?

Ye Gods, no I havent been to anything like that. We dont allow drinks at our local munches...I suspect for this reason. I'd be writeing a very strongly worded letter about it and send it to the Munch directors. She's sober now, I'd for damn sure let her know how her munch is now viewed in other states/outside that town.

Wow... sure it wasn't a slosh rather than a munch? Did the regulars have any comment on the hostess? I would really be embarrassed by such behaviour. I hope you were able to meet some nice people, anyway!

allthatjaz -> RE: How not to run a munch (7/24/2009 5:29:14 AM)
Oh I have let her know! I explained that she can get anyone to come to her munch at least once but getting them to come back a second time takes a good amount of PR and I have also explained (though I doubt she will get it!) that if someone goes out and has a good time then they may tell someone else about it but if someone goes out and has a bad time they will tell everyone who is prepared to listen. In the UK we tend to hold our munches in pubs and we are free to buy alcohol at the bar. They tend not to be play orientated and normally everyone is expected to turn up in vanilla clothing because the pub is open to the general public. Its just meant as a social get together in a discreet kind of way. She is the munch director!

OMG that sounds horrible! I have never heard of anything that bad. I would bet that more than a few people found that unacceptable but they lack the skills to change it. Personally I don't mind having a munch in a bar now and then as long as people are not stupid about it. But I will always prefer a private room in a restaurant which is large enough so people can mingle. Maybe ms munchrunner was having a bad day? I would give it another go just to see if this was a habitual thing. If it is perhaps you should think of starting your own. Kyst

It seems to me that Mistress Munchrunner has serious problems that manifested themselves due to her inebriated condition: she is insecure and does not feel loved. She requires counseling. No alcoholic beverages munches also seem like an excellent idea to me.

I hope you were able to meet some nice people, anyway! The regulars told us she was actually behaving quite well that night! I think the problem is that there is nothing else going on in this town and they would have a long drive to get to anything else. Personally we won't be going back. We met some really nice people but I don't want to be in a place that annoys me to the point of wanting to punch someone!

Oh see I have been known to get a little tipsy at the munch that I run, but I am sure I am endearing. Yeah I went to this one munch, it was an under 25 deal, so I sat around with people just about old enough to drink, the munch runner was in a sickening relationship (puppy eyes across the table) when she wasn't slavering over him they were talking about computer games or slagging off other people from the area. I didn't go again, I do think under 25 munches are good tho, keep them separate.

There's something that just doesn't make sense here. She's a randy drunk, clearly. She should attract other randy drunks for a bacchanalia. From your description, everyone else was sober and polite and embarrassed. Why don't any of them have the gumption to start up a competing munch?

They probably cannot be bothered and just want to take advantage of the drunk Munch Mistress.

popeye1250 -> RE: How not to run a munch (7/25/2009 1:50:18 PM)
jaz, that sounds pretty bad! The last munch I went to a few years ago was just that, a munch. Most of the people there were morbidly obese! They had about 7 kinds of macaroni and cheese, huge pans of lasagna, cakes, pastries and all kinds of other calorie-laden dishes. It was more like a meeting of people with food addictions and eating disorders than people who were interested in wiiwd! Man, sparks were flying off of their knives and forks! The insulin levels in that hotel suite must have been sky high! They should have had it at a gym with diet yogurt, fresh fruit and bottled water. "Yeah! Fat Patty did 4 minutes on the treadmill without passing out!" I mean these people looked BAD! Many of them must have been over "300 lbs." "My Eyes! My Eyes!" If any of them tried to sit on someone's lap they would have broken their femur. It was a real "flabalanch." Half of them would have had trouble getting a blood pressure cuff over their ample arms. I ambled over to the end of the room where there were some people of normal proportions congregating. We were the only ones standing. The only time the blimps got on their feet was to overfill their plates again. It's not a lot of fun being around people with addictions whether it be food, alchohol, drugs or gambling when you don't "share" those addictions. I'd like to see some munches for, "non-addicted people." No-one likes being around an obnoxious drunk or druggy do they? I haven't been to a munch since! And I lost any craving that I had for "mac and cheese." Gawd i was bad.

I have been to two munches in the Los Angeles area. First of all, the munches that I attended here are definitely 'hetero'; there are not many bi-sexual or gay people at these munches; moreover, the only munches here are sponsored through hetero organizations. Bi-sexual/gay are definitely welcome, but not visible. I found that the two munches that I went to were attended by people who already knew each other, and they talked to each other and sat with each other; My friend and I felt kind of nervous and timid, and although we spsoke to people we werent going to interrupt cliques. At these munches (in restaurants) they had everyone sitting at one long table around the walls of the room, and we sat with next to and across from 3-4 people. Conversation was extremely vanilla as everything said by us was heard by everyone at the whole table and vice-versa, there ws no way to talk privately with anyone sitting across from us let alone sitting farther away. Some business card exchange was all that could be accomplished. Also, the other tables in the restaurant room had non-sexual people: famailies with cryign infants, etc. so we all had to be careful what we said aloud around them. We never went back to any of these munches in public restaurants.

Is that the etymology of 'munch'? Because it is a place where fat people stuff themselves with food?
