Nest?

[Newcastle Uni]

What exactly is Nest. How did it all get started and why is it called Nest (which i think is a rubbish name).

I've never looked into this, but i presume that you all pay a fortune to go to some rich persons house where you tickle each other for a weekend and then go home. Why????? Come on guys, we're far more enteprising than that. Why not agree to meet up ourselves whenever we want? We wouldn't have to give a big cheque to a person of dubious reputation. It'd be fun!

Wow, this will be fun to respond to.

First of all, the name. NEST is not just a name, it's an acronym. It stands for North Eastern Society for Ticklephiles. NEST. You have a better name? Let's hear it, but don't expect anything to change...we've been doing this for eight years.

Secondly, don't make assumptions...we all know what assuming does. We don't go to ANYONE'S house, in fact, we go to a hotel that the lovely QBWeaver and MaxSpeer book for everyone. They are NOT of any kind of shady background, in fact, most of us trust them more than we trust some of our own family. The price of admission is only $30 this year, but I guess to some that might be called a fortune. After spending time meeting and greeting each other for a day, we traditionally go to a club that, AGAIN, Max and QB helped to book. It's a private party that only us tickle-freaks are invited to, and although, yes, we do sit around and tickle each other silly, we talk, we hug, we dance, we associate, and we become family.

It's not as simple as "getting together and tickling each other." It's so much more than that. It's about getting together with people who think along the same wavelength, it's about being with a group that knows how to have fun, it's about expressing yourself in a way that is just not possible in other venues. It's about being comfortable with yourself and others, and knowing that no matter how "weird" or "abnormal" you are, you're still accepted, but more than that, welcomed and encouraged.

PS. Don't call QBWeaver "dubious." It won't make you any friends. 🙂

You know, that sounds wonderful!

My impression was entirely wrong. I assumed that Nest was run by some fetish group that regards tickling as just another market. I think I assumed that it would cost in excess of $100-$200 and that you all met up at some big house (that had been used by Swingers the week before and by sado massachists the week before that and will be used by swingers again the following week). Is there a NWST, SEST or SWST?

Yes WE did

You lucky guys!

I'm glad you had fun. I look forward to reading about your exploits over the next few days! 🙂

Viper - I couldn't have replied better than you already did! And Thanks for the nice words.

And Newcastle - QB, in QBWeaver, stands for Queen Bitch (but I'm nice, really I am). You don't want to get me riled up though... It's not a pretty sight! LOL Fortunately it's a rare occurrance.

I'm not rich financially or famous in anyway. However, I'm rich in friends I've made at NEST over all these years. I help organize NEST every year. This year Bride of Dracula and Starwolfe helped SO much which really eased the amount of work I had to do. I'm located in California so I can't go around looking at motels and places to have the NEST event. Between MAX and Bride and Greg we had it all covered.

And the $30 goes far. It covers the Saturday social, and the main event on Sunday with all kinds of food, munches and associated "stuff" needed for the event.

That sounds cool!

but how did you make sure that everything runs smoothely? What if some of the other hotel guests object to the noise? Or what if the management objects? Ever had that happen?

Anyone who comes to the door to complain is either converted to the cause or never heard from again!

I got the impression the rooms absorbed noise pretty well. I can only say that nobody came to complain when I was making Nici squeal. That reminds me, she had a quote that I thought was rather cute. When we were wrapping up the session and I noted that my fingers hadn't said good night to her back yet, she cried out, "That's all right, it understands!"

 

[ViperGTS]

Speaking of converting...howcome a cute college co-ed couldnt come to the door and say "Whats all the noise?" and we get her to join in the fun? 😛

Ummmm... ask the Bible Study group how soundproof the rooms were as Jeff had me screaming my fool head off with about ten of them gathered outside the door discussing how "disturbing" we were.

Should have told them Jeff was the exorcist hired to "save You"...

I'm pretty sure I did PLENTY of praying during the session... even if it did sound like I was speaking in tongues, trust me, it was prayer.

My favorite line of his while I'm working on forming coherant sentences is when I managed to get out "THAT TICKLES! I MEAN IT!!!!!" ANd his polite calm response is "I believe you, I'm sure it does tickle."

 

[TMF Jeff]

My own personal favorite was when Kitten kept saying "You just can't resist torturing me, can you?" and all I could say was "I really have no idea, I haven't tried to resist that impulse yet."

You're evil. I couldn't even eat breakfast without twitching like someone with tourettes because of your wandering fingers.

 

[ViperGTS]

Touettes?

"YESNOFUCK!"

Touettes?

"YESNOFUCK!"

Tourette's Syndome? Knowing for twitches and uncontrollable bursts of swearing.... much like the comment "yesnofuck!"

 

[ticklishscribe]

Kitten you are absolutely priceless...

...I can't wait to meet you...
