15th Ave Bookstore

Until recently it had been months since I went to the ABS due to work, travel and to be honest all the bs that has been floating around about the place. I was in the area and curiousity got the best of me so I decided to drop by. Usually I won't go near the place unless I see it posted that someone I want to see is going to be there. I noticed the parking lot was pretty empty, but figured I was there to check the place out more than to play so decided to go in anyway. As noted the GHs are open and there are now signs posted throughout the theater and booth area forbiding cameras. When I first started going to the ABS they had similar signs but they disappeared some time ago and all of a sudden everyone in the place seemed to have a camera snapping away. Personally I'm glad to see the signs back. Hopefully the rule will be enforced. I respect others right to "do their thing" including photography, but also feel I have a right to do my thing without having to be worried someone is going to post pics or vids of it on the net. In the end my curiousity was satisfied about the changes, but otherwise it was a waste of time and money. There were only about 6-8 people in the place for the whole 2 hours or so I was there, all male of course. I have been there enough to be well aware of the hit or miss aspect of the place, but this was the deadest I have ever seen it. Not only was it a sausage fest but a poorly attended sausagefest at that. It was pretty sad considering the memories I have of the good times I have had there. Hopefully the place will get back to the way it was in the past with a good size group of ladies coming fairly regularly.

Something just ain't right at the playhouse. I got there at 8pm sharp. Nothing but about 15 guys. There was a sign at the counter mentioning the 3 play, spa, party room and theater for 40 bucks. Theater and glory holes still 20. I started with the 20 buck option. Again, the people that work there are very professional, no pressure to talk you in to the 40 bucks. Of course I am there for female action and here is how the evening played out. The first couple to come in was some obnoxious drunks and I mean drunk. They were moving from the booths to the theater a couple of times but did nothing but talk in their drunken stupper, sorry for the blatant honesty but that is the truth. I can't believe they drove there. At about 8:30 an attractive couple came in, she was classy and cute with short dark hair and a decent bod. They went straight to the spa, a couple guys I spoke with that paid for the spa said they were not playing, just messing around by themselves. Then at about 9:15 an older Filipino couple came in. They started in the theater for a few minutes, no action and then went to the glory holes, they basically went in the middle booth with holes on both sides but basically just stood there and did not play at all. A heavier set black lady came in with a skinny guy, they went to the party room and as of 10pm they were not doing anything. Right when I was leaving sheeba, her hubby and rogue drove up and backed up to the party room to unload supplies for tomorrows party. I left at that time so I don't know what went on after 10: 15 but for a Friday night it was absolutely dead and for such a nice night and holloween to boot, I would have thought the action would have been good if not great. What blows my mind is the lack of females and couples because the place is very playable. The owners are not running around watching like a hawk, they are very cool. The playroom behind the screen is relatively large and like I said before, it has a swing and two gynee tables. What happened, this place has completely lost its mojo. During the summer on a Friday you would have 20+ couples and a bunch of single ladies playing. I was there during the summer and you would have action all over the place. One of the better Friday's, femcar, nancy, honey and a nice hispanic lady all playing on or near the couch at the same time. It was wild, where did all the action go. I don't buy it's the cops, why, because of the attitude of those working there, they are very laid back and not much has changed in how things are run. Very, Very disappointing for a Friday. The owners have their work cut out to get the action flowing again. I think they are up to the task but it is going to take time. I hope someone reports on the party sheeba and hubby are throwing tomorrow, it should be much better. Someone please report.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me were the movie theater is located and the "old one" that is mentioned on the posts.

Did anybody from this board attend the party? I was wondering how many females attended and did you think it was worth $50.

[QUOTE=Shebahubby]Just wanted to post that our Groups ATS Meet & Greet Halloween Party is this Saturday at the Monteclare Spa and Private Party room at melrose so if your interersted you can hit me up with an email or PM. Should be a greate time and hey fun too.

Peace,

[QUOTE=Dudder]Did anybody from this board attend the party? I was wondering how many females attended and did you think it was worth $50. [/QUOTE]Several have asked about the ATS Halloween Party and the results of that party. Here it is for those who didn’t or couldn’t go and are wondering. We had between 110-130 people in attendance and in that we had 28-32 couples and 12 single females, we also had Misty Highwood who is a AM Internet Porn gal in attendance who absolutely loves to fuck and suck. We had two tables set up with food and snacks for all which included a Chocolate buffet with Chocolate fountains, Chicken wings, and more lots more. Beer, Wine, soda and water on hand as well as harder stuff for pay otherwise it was also BYOB as well. There was music and some dancing till the action started, which was relatively early in the eve. Around 9:30ish, with several gals on the stage getting fucked or eaten. The two free private rooms were busy all night long with Misty Highwood and others having fun with those who wanted to have fun. The glory hole booths was also used by several couples as well as the theater and the new room in back of the theater where the exam table and massage table and sex swing are. The party went till 2am and sex didn’t stop till closing. We didn’t have the same crowd as the last Meet & Greet as many were out of town and informed me that they would be (more couples) and I also believe because of the speculation (crap) that has been flowing through the Y-Groups in the last month and a half as well as here. Never the less, it was great fun and a decent turn out in spite of the speculations. Those who attended (well at least the many that came up to me and talked with me) loved it! Sheba had great fun all weekend long but especially at the party. Stay tuned for the next one as I’m sure it will be even better as people realize that our venue there at Melrose hasn’t changed much as some of the nay sayers want people to believe.

Thanks[/QUOTE]There was action on Friday night for sure just later as three other couples showed up and played and was very hot. Sheba played in both the back room of the theater and the spa as well as Rogue in the same. This couple played in the booths and the back room too. Sorry you missed some of the action. Especially this other couple and the Female half was hot for sure.

The owner has his work cut out for himself as not much has really changed but the speculations on the web has caused its share of damage as it has scared off some of the women and couples from attending that venue. I know this because several are friends of sheba's and mine. But, it will bounce back as they see that most of the crap was just that crap & speculation from those who don't really know anything. As I said a good friend of mine the Nickster who runs several Y-Groups as well as his wife BJ who used to be one of the "stars" in the day, went to the playhouse for himself to see what all the who-ha was. He was surprised to find that it wasn't like some have said and his report was it was great. Again Melrose is still the Best Place Going in the Midwest Bar-none!

Thanks for the report that sounds like a great party with 2:1 male/female ratio. I think the best hotel party I ever attended had a 4:1 ratio. I am surprised nobody else on this board attended the party.

I was attended at Halloween Party.It's excellent I'm very enjoy it.One couple with very hot white female fucking at Spa,Some couple playing at party room and private rooms and Shabba was fucking and sucking all night long.But the only bad is Nancy and Femcer did't show up.I leave two shot at the party.Next time I need Viagra ;-)
Also thanks Shabbahubby for the party info.

Kinda strange that there are only 2 independent posts about the Halloween party on the main Chicago Y groups. Those two posters DID say they had fun.

There were a ton of post for the previous parties.

Three reasons I didn't go: As a single male, I don't feel welcomed at Melrose anymore, the cost to attend, (as a single male.) Those two things would have been overridden, if I had seen post by couples and single females stating they were going to attend. There were no post by the regular Melrose women.

I suspect these parties are now geared towards swinging couples. At swing couples parties only a small number of single males are admitted.

You have to be careful mentioning the money. Some guys in here go bonkers over that issue when its raised. But it does bring home the point that single men are not wanted. They never have been. Only a select few get to play. The rest are called verizon zombies. While I'm sure some deserve it, not all of the guys standing around deserved to be lumped in that category. They might as well make this place a couples place. But then how will they pay the bills without the single guys who show up daily?

I think the problems at Melrose all come down to price the owner just got greedy. When the place opened it was $15 for single males, single women & couples were free now it's $20 for single males & $10 for couples and single men who dress womens clothing. I can guarantee you the $10 has kept alot of couples away you bring a girl to get gangbanged then have to pay $10 that makes no sense at all. Plus they have all these upcharges for the spa, rooms, etc. or if they have a party with beer, pizza, & wings they want to charge another $20. Price is just a total mystery at 15th Ave. they need to come up with one set price for total access like $25 single males & single males dressed in womens clothing, single women and couples are free.

Ditto for me. My feelings exactly.

The parties are not geared to couples, we simply have a lot of couples that attend as I truly try to set an atmosphere for everyone and Sheba and I have alot of friends that are couples that we have either played with or simply want to attend our Meet & Greets. We do not limit the amount of Single Males in anyway and at each party had alot of single males present. Remember we all want the couples and single women to come to the parties otherwise it would simply be a sausage fest lol. Next time come check it out for yourself. And Sorry Femcar emailed me the afternoon of the party letting me know whe was out of town on the west coast and said to all "Have fun " and that she would be at the next one for sure! I haven't heard from Nancy & Steve for a month or so ... so I taking it that they are either very busy or out of town too.
Prices has not changed and unless my costs go up will not change, This last party cost me a mint especially for the chocolate for the chocolate fountains lol oh and the steak and shrimp skewers not to mention the Vip Bar and table wow lol but all in all was a great nigh to fun and all my exp. got covered with $150 to the plus which I will put towards the next party!!! This time I have a Chef of many years making the Food and several other extras too for all to enjoy.

Again come check it out if you are not sure, but most importantly come to have fun not to look for faults.

Peace,

Thats the way it has to be. The prices didn't go up much and most don't complain about it. As far as the Parties that are hosted there. Some are done by melrose and some are done by private groups such as Our ATS Meet & Greets or even the Gentlemans pages parties and more, which they rent out the party room and spa, Their prices are their own to set as they have to cover the cost of the room rental and more and Melrose does not dictate those prices. The prices are not a "total mystery" as the last year so far it went from $20 single male, Couples & single women free and TV/CD $10 to Couples paying $10 and all else remains the same for the theater/arcade The spa prices changed once in the last year (acceptable since it was a new thing) Melrose party prices are up to them and private party prices are set by those private groups and usually based on overall expense. Seems like some simply want it all free LOL. I suppose most don't realize what it takes to run a business for profit, with staffing and building lease, utilities, product etc. Hey Melrose is still the best place going for the venue we want & the prices are what it is! The great part of being in the USA is You can Choose Not To Go! You Don't have to spend your money there! And even if you go, You don't have to go to the spa, You don't have to attend the (private or melrose) parties as well! I suppose some will sleep better knowing that they got to "*****" about something that they really have no control over nor that they can change LOL. I remember when gas prices were. 62 cents and now we've seen it over $3. 80 and the fact is no one likes it but they still go fill their tanks LOL. This is not as necessary as gas (Melrose), so why is it such an issue with price changes and what other private groups charge for their parties and such when YOU still have a choice? Ok I'm done LOL just trying to understand the mindset of some who constantly complain.

Peace out,

Thank you for the report and the many that did talk to me there said they had a great time and can't wait for the next one! Femcar, did email me the day of the party letting me know she was out of town. Got that email the next day. She also said she will be at the next one we host either at melrose or at another venue TBA. Most all of the couples that showed up (lots of new ones) did play. I don't know who she was but this tall Black woman with her guy showed up and she dressed as a cop was absolutly hot and she was on the stage sucking cock and getting eaten and then there was Misty Highwood who was also fucking and sucking everywhere from the spa to the theater and party room. Sheba was fucking and sucking all night long form 9pm when the action started till close. Anyway it was all good and we are expecting a even better party in a few months. Takes me a month to recupertae LOL!

Peace and thanks,

Shebahubby
