Please Note: This review is based ONLY on ONE speed-dating event. However, I wanted to provide my…read morepersonal feedback for anyone who may be considering trying one such event. I went after finding a Living Social deal, was highly skeptical, had read mixed reviews. however, my experience was quite positive. The location was nice, the event was extremely well-organized, and I thought it was a good deal after the coupon. Who shows up at these things is a crapshoot, but fortunately, my event was just about even between men and women and I think I met about a dozen men. Looks like I am going to have at least one date as a result. After the event , you get an email within two days (I got it less than 24 hours later) allowing you to make a mini-profile, select those you were interested in and see "mutual matches" and exchange emails through that platform with anyone from the event. Again, I find the whole thing very well organized and I had a good time. My only complaint, like others, is that the event DOES start about 30 minutes after it says (at 7:30) so people who arrive on time or a little "late" end up awkwardly sitting around the bar not sure what to do. Fortunately, I struck up an interesting convo with one of the other ladies attending and enjoyed that. However, I suggest arriving at 7:20 to check in, get a quick drink, and jump ride into the dating!

I was invited to an event at The Gathering Spot, and while the event itself was wonderful, The…read moreGathering Spot truly felt like the perfect place to host it. It was a happy hour and learning-style event, and the space worked incredibly well for both. There was a great balance between areas that encouraged socializing and connecting, while also having comfortable spaces where everyone could sit down and focus during the learning portion. The staff was phenomenal. They were attentive and proactive in a way that stood out. They seemed to anticipate questions before we even had them and made sure everyone knew where things were and felt taken care of throughout the evening. I also ordered the spinach artichoke dip during the class portion of the event and I need to take a moment for that because it was, without exaggeration, the best spinach artichoke dip I have ever had in my life. I'm still thinking about it. A few others at the event also commented on how incredible their dishes were, so kudos to the kitchen because clearly this was not a one-off experience. I'll probably be dreaming about that spinach artichoke dip for a while.

I have been playing NAKID for three seasons now, and it is a lot of fun. I read through some of…read morethe reviews and have to say I am surprised there are those who weren't happy. First, it's an ADULT KICKBALL league that focuses more on the social aspects than the actual sport. Sure, most of the players are in their mid to late 20's but there are older players as well (like me). I am in the military as well and Dan has been nothing but wonderful when it came to dealing with military issues. Hell, he donated kickball gear that we are sending downrange for the troops to play to have a little fun. How awesome is that?!? You can't go wrong with this group. It is a ton of fun and the people are all great. The parties are a blast and it's a really fun way to meet new people in a neutral environment. I have yet to meet someone I did not like. Give it a try...after all, you're never lonely when you're NAKID! ;-)

My friends and I signed up for the Thursday night winter dodgeball league and, less than a week before the first game, we received an email notifying us that the day of games was changed to Wednesday and the location had changed as well... Well, it turns out most folks on the original team couldn't make Wednesdays (because we're adults who planned to join a Thursday league and not a Wednesday league), so we tried to get in touch with them on a multitude of platforms to request refunds. This is how that went: - 5 of us sent multiple emails to their listed email addresses (info@playnakid.com and dc@playnakid.com) requesting refunds and all of our emails have gone unanswered; - we called the number listed on their website/facebook page/yelp page (855-466-2543) but the number has been disconnected; - I have reached out via the Feedback option on their website, which has been unanswered; - I TWEETED at them...but they haven't posted a new tweet since 2015...and... -I wrote this yelp review - which I don't think will do much good, but I'm frustrated and needed a platform in which to tell the Yelp World about how unorganized, unprofessional and overall shady this organization is. My recommendation: choose another league to throw balls at people's faces!! AND NAKID - GIVE US OUR REFUNDS, DAMMIT.
