Welcome to the HNIC Schedule, Information and Rules Page!
HNIC at Le Baisodrome!!
HNIC/BBQNIC/?!NIC is a monthly Saturday night open-house party! We've been going for SIXTEEN (wtf!?!!?) years, and at the start of 2013, we switched from a weekly party to monthly. I live on Bloor, close to Dundas West station, and it's easy to get here by streetcar, subway and car. The schedule is frequently updated and below you'll find a heck of a lot of information.
HNIC SCHEDULE:
Please keep checking back for updates!
Upcoming Dates
22 June - My birthday party!! Rainbow themed!
27 July - Show and Tell!
Information about HNIC!
Where: Our place! Le Baisodrome, about a 5 minute walk from Dundas West Station
These days, events and directions are posted on FB, but you have to attend one (usually as a guest) before joining the FB group.
COVID PROTOCOLS:
Attendance Requirements
1- You MUST be 14 days past your booster shot. TRIPLE vaxxed at least!
2 - You must RSVP so we can keep an accurate count - we can only have 25 people inside.
3 - You must wear a mask in the public areas (foyers, hallways, elevators) of my building.
4 - RAPID TESTS - You must do a rapid test before arriving OR we have many here, you must isolate in the office for 15 minutes while we do your test.
5 - Please do not attend if you are experiencing any cold or flu symptoms
We have seating for 10 people on the balcony now, so if being inside with others gets too weird, you can go outside and regulate!
Further Covid notes:
The bathroom has a touchless soap dispenser and paper towel for drying your hands.
We'll keep the balcony door open and have all the fans on.
As always, there's hand sanitizer in every room, lysol wipes for the spanking bench and we've added rubbing alcohol spray bottles to every room as well.
BYOB if you like, we'll have spike-your-own berry punch, there is hella hella booze on the bar, and water in the fridge.
When: One Saturday a month. Usually the date will be chosen about a month ahead of time.
Show up anytime after 2000h, leave by 0300h.
Dundas West subway exit is at the west end. EB travellers aim to be in the last car, WB in the first.
Subway schedules: Dundas W Stn Bloor/Yonge Stn Saturday Last Trains! Dundas West Station: Last Westbound train @ 0203. Last Eastbound @ 0143. Yonge/Bloor Station: Last Northbound train @ 0154h. Last Southbound train @ 0135.
Who: Everyone* is welcome, RSVP's are nice!
*1) You MUST be over 19. 2) I must have met you IRL (at a munch, k-t field trip, etc) or you can come as the guest of an HNIC invitee. Exceptions are made to 2, usually for IRC friends who've been around awhile.
Food and Drink: There's spike-your-own punch, otherwise BYOB, and feel free to bring anything you'd like. The HNIC bar has some staples, but is mostly made of bottles that people bring to leave on the bar, so the selection here is random. You don't have to bring anything, but if you want to, might I suggest - a bottle of pop, booze, a bag of chips, a bottle of wine, fruit/veg trays, food that can be consumed without utensils, candy, sparkly presents for minxy, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
Visitor Parking - The first ten spots (red numbers) are for visitors, and there is street parking.
If you're here past midnight, or just to make you feel better.
1. Call (416) 213-9569 before midnight
2. Leave this message: "I am (FIRST NAME), calling from Perth Co-op (UNIT NUMBER). It is (DATE AND TIME). I am parked in visitors parking spot number (1-10). My car is a (MAKE MODEL) with the plate number (PLATE NUMBER) and my contact number is (PHONE NUMBER).
Exit to the back parking lot is level 1, front/garden exit is ground floor.
Bike Parking - There's a rack near the front/garden door, in front of the laundry room window. Please lock your bike there and NOT to the playground fence, it makes the garden committee froth.
Accessibility - There are automatic entrances at the garden and parking lot entrances to the building and curb cuts. There are no unavoidable stairs from Dundas West station to here.
FAQ, Rules and Notes:
What is HNIC like? It's a house party.. in a tiny apartment full of amusements and pillows! Sometimes it's like a munch, usually it's a naughty play party. Sometimes we play games, sometimes it's a potluck, sometimes we have pizza, there are craft nights, sometimes we watch movies. People get naked, sometimes people beat each other, sometimes we just cuddle and chat. There's a lot of play of all kinds. You do not have to participate in any activities if you do not want to, it's totally okay to just hang out. A lot of new people have spent their first couple of parties just chilling quietly, it's not weird, hakuna matata. :)
Who attends, and how many people will be there? Usually 8-20 people, more for birthday parties. Some of us have known each other for a long time, many are new. I love meeting new people, yay new friends!
Feel free to bring your +1, +2 (or whatever, we chill) with you. Everyone here is over 19, in the kink community and/or kinky, or kink-friendly, and queer-friendly - and if you bring a friend and/or date, they should be too. I strongly suggest you show them this page so they have an idea of what to expect.
What to wear? Whatever you like! Most people show up in jeans, some people show up in jeans and take them off when they get here. Some people dress up for theme nights, some don't, some have dressing-up forced upon them. ^_^
Why is it called HNIC? (Or ?!NIC or whatever) 13 years ago, I put out an open house invite for friends to come over and watch Hockey Night in Canada with me... and the name stuck. That's really it. ^_^
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: RESPECT CONSENT.
Many of us have known each other for a very long time and feel each other up with the familiarity of long and dirty acquaintance. We might wanna feel you up when we get to know you, but you do not need to be touchy-feely to be welcome here. Conversely, please be sure that you're not presuming a level of intimacy that does not exist. This is sometimes difficult, or hard to remember in a party where people are excited, where there are a lot of interesting things going on, and where orgies break out, but remember to always obtain consent. It is not weird to ask if it's okay to hug or touch someone, this is encouraged behaviour. Please respect the boundaries and property (human or otherwise) of others!
We cannot guarantee that someone will not overstep someone else's boundaries. Please make sure you are obtaining active consent and if there are any difficulties, please feel free to go to minxy for help (If you're able, please know that you're welcome to bring this up to me in person at the party, but also, please feel free to message me later.).
Wanna proposition someone? Try this sweet tip from the internet. "First, you approach someone and say, “Hi, I’d really be interested in doing X with you. If you’re interested, come find me.” And then you walk away. If that person is interested and has time, they’ll find you later. That way, it doesn’t make the rejection blatant and painful. I loved this way of asking for consent. It was direct, but in a manner that respected both the suitor and the one being propositioned"
You attend this party at your own risk! The residents hold no responsibility for the outcome of poor decision making and behaviour. We are not liable for any claims actual or contingent loss, claim, liability, damage, costs (including legal costs) or expense of any nature whatsoever (whether direct, indirect or consequential) and howsoever arising which you and/or, or your dependents and/or any third party may suffer or incur from any cause arising (including, without limitation, any negligent acts or omissions) in connection with or arising from attendance at the party.
You are responsible for your own body. You are an adult who knows their own limits and respects the limits of others. We will refuse attendance to anyone we choose as this is a private residence and a private party.
Photos are sometimes taken at this party, but are posted in a private group. If you do not want your picture posted you must tell minxy. Photos are generally candid, we will crop you out or delete the picture if you do not want any record. Organizers cannot guarantee that your picture will not be taken.
**************************************
Your attendance at ?!NIC means that you agree NOT TO DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE. You also agree that, should you SUCK and drive under the influence and somehow make it home safe and sound, you will come back on Monday and sign your car over to me. You will not be welcome back again.
**************************************
If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let minxy or Favourite know!
Lost and Found: There's a basket under the kitchen pass-through window that gathers a lot of left behind items. Please check it!
IMPORTANT OUTSIDE RULE! When you're outside on the balcony, please keep your voices VERY QUIET if your conversation would be considered NSFW especially if it is after 11 pm. After 11 pm please keep ALL conversations quiet. I mean it. Like, whisper. There are excellent acoustics on the balcony, everyone can hear you! Seriously, go outside, you can hear every word spoken in the parking lot. Indoor voices, we've had onetwo noise complaints!
?!NIC recycles! In the (only) hallway, across from the (only) bathroom there is a grey bin for garbage and a blue bin for recycling and a blue bin for LCBO. Red plastic cups are recyclable, as are the little mouthwash cups in the bathroom.
• We are not smokers, and have a giant cat.
• Cigarette and weed smoking on the balcony please.
• We have a very large and comfy covered/enclosed balcony with lots of chairs, blankets and cushions, and a nice big BBQ.
• Please do not bring ANY shellfish or seafood here EVER, i am extremely allergic!
There are many regular guests with peanut and tree-nut allergies.
→ If you have a severe allergy, please let me know ahead of time.
• Please do not bring your pets with you. Exceptions are made (one time, there was a falcon!), but please check first!
• This building is dog-free.
• Please do not bring actual children with you - it's an adult party & my apt is not child-proof.
• My apartment is kink, queer and giggle friendly.
• There is drinking/intoxication here! Participate at your personal level of comfort.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please ask me or email minxybot@gmail.com
