ORIGINAL: HollyS . . . There are only a few pics on the [Galleria Domain 2] site, but you can get an idea of what half the place looks like. . . Unfortunately, the photos paint only a partial picture of Galleria Domain 2 and actually show substantially less than half of the club. Since the photos on the website were taken, the decor of two of the rooms has been updated, numerous pieces of furniture and equipment have been added, and two additional rooms have been added as well. quote:
ORIGINAL: HollyS . . . Unfortunately only members are allowed, so visiting from out-of-town is a bit difficult. . . . When I was in SF I had no trouble visiting The Citadel (a beautiful space BTW) - my friend simply called and put my name on the guest list in advance. . . Galleria Domain 2 is a membership-only club, but it also is easily accessible to visitors via a trial membership. All it takes is submitting an application for a trial membership, which lasts for 21 consecutive days/three consecutive weekends, by the Wednesday before one plans to attend. In addition, the membership structure permits members to bring guests to the club without any advance notice. quote:
ORIGINAL: HollyS . . . It's a real shortcoming of the Chicago area that the local clubs can be so hard to access. . . Because Chicago area BDSM clubs are membership-only, they are more difficult to access than some clubs in some other places (although, as noted above, it's not all that difficult). About 5 years ago, both Galleria Domain and the Leather Rose were shut down and fined by the City of Chicago, which resulted in clubs becoming membership-only in order to comply with a variety of city and county ordinances and state and federal law. There is a positive result of them being membership-only, though: they permit kinds of play that typically are prohibited at clubs in most other areas of the U.S. <wink wink nudge nudge> If anyone would like additional information about BDSM goings on in the Chicago area, I'd be happy to forward you additional information about Chicago's BDSM clubs, fetish nights, munches, etc. Best regards, Wilson
