The inaugural GASP (the Georgia Spanking Party) by AASS held on March 21 – March 25, 2024, in the Alpharetta, GA, area was Rey and Autumn’s first ever spanking con. For Todd, this was his first in many years since hosting his own parties in the early 2000s.
To say we were buzzing with excitement and nervousness is an understatement. We had no idea what to expect; we just wanted to connect with other Spankos.
The Drive
For us, Atlanta is about a 9 hour drive away, so a wee-bit of a hike. To make it easier we broke things up by stopping about halfway and staying with vanilla friends.
They aren’t into spanking, but are very open-minded. We shared where we were going and they were totally fascinated. Couldn’t believe such a thing existed… a spanking party – wow, really!?! But they thought it was super cool.
They asked a real common question too. ‘Is this like a swinger party…are people having sex?’ The answer is (not that there is anything wrong with it) no this is not a swinger party. And yes, people surely are having sex – back in their own hotel rooms. In the party areas it is spanking and friendly conversation.
After our lovely visit and fun Q&A we got up the next morning and started the second half of our drive. And given we had to traverse Atlanta on a weekday afternoon, we made pretty good time.
Checking-in
The party was at a mainstream hotel, a well known and very nice chain. First thing when we got there was checking into said hotel… and they were awesome. The staff knew what we were there for and they were super relaxed and friendly. And FAST. Took like 5 minutes to check-in.
We grabbed our luggage and headed up to our very nice room. Cool thing too was our entire floor was booked by party guests and there was party security ensuring only party guests entered the floor. That meant ZERO concerns about bothering a vanilla guest with noise. Super cool!
We put all our spanking implements out on the table, which is always fun. Also set out our spanking game… Spankopoly. So we were ready for anything!
Then it was time to check into the actual party. Headed back downstairs to a private area and went through the easy check-in process.
They did require proof of a COVID test… which, whatever to that. It makes some people more comfortable – so good enough. They needed that and an ID. Took maybe 5 minutes and done and done.
For their inaugural party and given there were about 280 guests (280!) – truly an amazing job by the good folks at GASP.
One thing they did, which was a great idea, was color-code the lanyard that came with your ID badge: Blue = Top/spanker (Todd), Yellow = Switch (Rey), and Red = Bottom/spankee (Autumn).
They also offered a black lanyard, which meant not playing, and then wrist bands that indicated what gender you were interested in possibly playing with.
Pizza Party
After checking-in to the party, we did a quick tour of the hotel which had a restaurant and bar, as well as many places to sit and relax. After the tour we headed up to the 8th floor. The 8th floor featured ‘party suite’ rooms. Some of these were open most of the day/evening and allowed party guests to come and go as they pleased. One can have a snack, engage in some good conversation or engage in some spanking play.
One of the suites offered several types of pizza, and salad and sodas. Complimentary. We had dinner and got to meet a few people… one of whom shared there was going to be a ‘Littles’ gathering shortly after dinner.
The Littles Story Hour
The Littles was a room set up for those that enjoy indulging in their “little” side. So, like an age role-play. Littles wear jammies and have stuffed animals… and “bigs” read bedtime stories. This is totally up Autumn’s alley.
She loves to escape for a bit into an age play in which she has no responsibilities or lists of things to do. She gets to relax, get ready for bed and listen to stories. Of course, this IS a spanking party so it wasn’t all relaxation. Some of the little girls did act up a bit, including Autumn. This led to her getting her first ever party spanking… by a ‘big’ (and event organizer) Listener.
A very mild hand spanking over her PJ bottoms.
Then she also got a spanking from Todd, which while a little bit harder – was still very much on the softer side of things, fitting the theme nicely.
Bedtime
By the time we returned to the room, Autumn was ready for bed. She got tucked in for a nice sleep.
That left Rey, who was not quite ready for bed. She ended up getting a really long hand spanking… with some fun thrown in, … to close out the day.
It was a lovey first party day.
