The Slippery Pineapple

The Slippery Pineapple describes itself as “a new lifestyle party club here in Springfield”. It says it rents a private location in downtown Springfield and emails the address and directions after an RSVP, and it points visitors to its Facebook page for its events. It describes its members as generally 18 to 60-plus and from “all races, sizes and demographics”. The club says the venue is set up with “an upscale nightclub feel with professional sound and lighting and a live DJ”. It is a smoke-free facility with an outdoor patio for smokers, and it says there is parking all around the venue. Getting in starts with an RSVP form that asks for names, an email address and a C4P, SwingLifestyle or FetLife handle, plus confirmation that guests have read the club’s rules and two notices. The club has a prepaid ticket system for paying before the event, with limited space on a first-come basis. Couples are welcome, including those who come only for the atmosphere, and the club allows “attractive, well groomed, stylishly dressed, courteous” single men while monitoring their numbers. It has no ice-breaker games, contests or initiations, and asks guests to say so if they feel pressured. It is BYOB with setups provided while supplies last, the dress is dress to impress with costumes welcome, and no weapons are allowed at any event.
