Purgatory, Heaven or Hell, 2019 Q n A for Purgatory 2019

Q: How do the guys dress for the night time main events. 

A: If not dressing in theme. Please dress to impress. This is a upscale, fun and very sexy event. Treat it as you are going on a nice night on the town at a fancy restaurant or a club venue. No flip flops, gyms shorts, ragged out jeans, dirty worn out tennis shoes, uncollared t shirts that are not theme related are allowed. Getting lots of questions so this is pretty specific. One entry/exit point for night time events and staff will be strictly enforcing dress codes. If you have questions then please ask here, PM and or emai info@desirousparty.com  Plus log onto the DesirousParty.com site and look at last years and previous years party videos and party photos. 

Q: Are people cliquey at Purgatory as we are new to the scene?

A: We have people attending from 35+ states and 4+ countries which has become a norm for our bigger events during the year. So its hard for people to be cliquey as so many people are new, perhaps meeting for the second time etc........Hence why we do mix n mingles, pool parties etc... before the main events. We suggest to go talk to people, mix n mingle and meet some new great people from all over the globe. Your Dp staff cannot wait to meet everyone and will be wearing STAFF shirts during the day. So if you have questions then please stop us and ask. 

Q: Are we allowed to take pictures at Purgatory?

A: You are allowed to take pictures of yourself and or your group of friends. Please be mindful who is in the background for their privacy. No crowd shots are allowed. We will also have photo backdrops set up as well as a mirror photo booth as well this year. 

Q: Can we make song requests to the dj's. 

A: No song requests are accepted on Purgatory weekend. Requests make it virtually impossible to build the energy and its like selecting songs from a juke box as its all over the place. We want to give everyone a great experience, ambiance and vibe. At night you will have two ballrooms with different music genres to pick from. During the day the experience is like a Las Vegas/Miami pool party. Meaning you will hear a little bit of all the music genres. People are mixing, mingling, dancing pool side etc...Thank you for understanding and the dj's will watch the dance floor and audience to make sure that people are dancing either on the dance floor or where they stand as the party progresses. 

Q: Can nipples, butts, topless be shown?

A: No nudity is allowed. Please cover up until you get to the event areas. A coat rack is outside the event area. Pasties, bra, thongs etc... are ok inside the event area. But no nudity. For the pool parties it is the same. Itsy bitsy is ok but nipples must be covered. Pastease only in the pool area is not allowed. A sheer bikini top over your pastease is ok. While in your bikini and going back inside the hotel. Please grab a towel as a courtesy to hotel staff or air crew who might be mingling about in the lobby area. 

Purgatory-The Who, The What, The Why, The Whole Enchilada

We get quite a few questions asking what is Purgatory every year from first time guests. This themed party weekend was brought to us 14 years ago by some good friends. The first year it was beyond crazy and attracted a audience from across the U.S. of around 200 people. It definitely set the bar very high on that first year and put the Houston couples lifestyle scene on the map. 

So what is Purgatory, Heaven or Hell party weekend? First and foremost we are not making a religious statement. We like to call Purgatory weekend a Summer Halloween style event. Pool parties and mixers amping up the energy leading into the main events each night. Take the idea of the popular lingerie fashion show with angel or devil wings added in, then think all things you might see in Purgatory such as unicorns, fairies, devils, angels in all states of dress or undress. It's three nights of adult costumed erotica and nothing is to tame or to wild. 

Along with Halloween, Purgatory has become a signature event for DesirousParty.com. The party starts from the moment you set your bags down in your room. For the third year we are starting the event on a Thursday with a mixer and then the night time Heavenly Dreams- Lingerie event. 2019 will be the first year we do all thre nights in both ballrooms. So choose from the Heavenly House Ballroom (EDM, House, Trance, Dub Step) or the Purgatory Grand Ballroom (top 40, hip hop, old school, remixes, etc..). Then 11 hours of parties the second day and 14 hours on the third day. Add in your own private after parties if you so desire. We have an incredible dj lineup this year as well. All making up the ingredients for a epic weekend. So make plans to join the hottest couples from across the U.S. and Canada this July 2019 here in Houston for Purgatory, Heaven or Hell weekend. 

Now let's begin because we know you want to know all about Purgatory weekend.

Hotel

 For the first time in 8 years we have a brand new hotel venue at the Sheraton N. Houston. The hotel is bending over backwards to accommodate our group. Managment had heard about the Purgatory event and they realized what a classy upscale crowd DesirousParty.com attracts and management is looking forward to the upcoming Purgatory weekend.

Everyone will get a welcome letter upon checking into the hotel. On the letter we will have some do's and don'ts. We just ask everyone to basically use common sense (not being sarcastic) and remember that this is a corporate hotel and we will have to abide by their rules, city and state laws. Meaning no nudity in public places. What goes on behind closed doors is to your own level of fun. You cannot be topless in the pool, ballroom etc.. If you are roaming the halls please remember to cover up to some degree. The hotel understands what style of party this is, the theme etc...They know we are there to party and let our hair down so to speak over a great weekend of fun. They will be putting a coat check outside the ballrooms for those not staying at the hotel or needing to cover up from their hotel room to the party areas. Pasties are acceptable as part of your attire in the ballroom.  As is full body paint etc.. Other than two floors for air crew from different airlines we have a total hotel takeover on Friday and Saturday nights. So the hotel understands that the parties start early and go late. The hotel also understands risqué attire and that the group is here to have fun. Just please remember to cover up to some degree when in public places such as the elevators, lobby area, esplanades etc..Skimpy bathing suites are fine but please be covered over the nipples and lower genitalia. 
One last foot note is the after parties. We let everyone in the group blocks host their own after parties if they so desire. We bring to you five great events and we let you decide on your own after parties and your own level of fun. We have found that this works best as the guests can amp up his or her own late night fun with whom they desire.  No one likes to have that intrusive couple barging into the fun in the so called "after parties". 

Basic Rules before the Q n A.

Alcohol Policy: There will be cash/credit bars at all events. Hotel guests can also charge to their rooms. Insulated cups are allowed into the pool area. However they must be empty to enter the pool area. Meaning you can leave the pool area with a drink but to return into the pool area your cup must be empty. Very basic rule as that makes it easier on our security team. As no outside beverages are allowed into the pool or ballrooms. This goes for jello shots, water bottles, etc.........have a question please email info@desirousparty.com 

Music: See DesirousParty.com for a full list of djs and their times. 

Play Areas: We let guests make their own play areas in their rooms. Hence the group blocks to amp up the after party fun. 

Event Rules: Below are basic rules for the event to be used as guidelines for conduct.

• Desirous Party never shares guest information with anyone, so please ask guests directly for their contact information about the party.
• Please respect the venue at all times by keeping it clean and picking up after yourself. If you have an accident, please do your best to clean up, and/or notify staff to help you
• All guests should respect the dignity of others. No violence or rude conduct toward a guest or staff will be permitted.
• This event is for couples and single females only. Couples must arrive together in order to receive wristbands. 
• No means no, so if someone tells you no, you need to respect this decision.
• Please ask for the consent of others before touching.
• There is a no-tolerance policy against drugs or prostitution.
• No cameras, cell phone camera or recording devices are permitted for use. Desirous Party will have special photographers on hand for event photos. All photos will be blurred as well which is a standard policy of Desirous Party. 
• Overly intoxicated guests will be asked to leave the party area or will be denied entrance.
• Purgatory staff employs licensed Police Officers who are there for your safety. They are not there to ruin your party fun. Just simply to ensure your safety and assist Purgatory staff if the need arises. 

Now the Q n A- 

Q: Do we have to get a hotel room to attend the events. 

A: No you do not have to get a hotel room to attend any of the events. We offer the room blocks as it amps up the weekend fun. So we create a total hotel party weekend where all events are held at the hotel. Guests can mix n mingle all weekend long. But if you wish you can attend one or all events and come and go. Hotel rooms are already sold out for 2019 and we are doing a stand by cancellation list. See DesirousParty.com/purgatory fon how to be added to stand by list. 

Q: Is this a BYOB event. 

A: No, as the hotel follows TABC and City of Houston laws. We will have cash/c.c. bars set up at each event and Sundance Lounge will be open at the hotel for our guests as well. Full bars will be set up in all event areas. 

So no outside food/beverage allowed into the event areas. Hotel has given us some incredible drink prices and this allows them to make their money so we are allowed to host these events at their facility. Which is very unique for our party group as in the State of Texas it's very hard to get such a warm welcome from a upscale hotel who loves to cater to our crowd. Normally its sub par venue hotels. So we are lucky. 

Q: What is the dress code for the pool parties and night time events. 

A: Itsy bitsy bikinis, scrunch bottoms etc.. are great for the pool parties. Just keep those tata'a covered. No pastease at the pool as they come off in the water. For the night time events you can dress as little as thongs, pasties and wings. Just keep the naughty parts (lol) covered. If roaming the hallways, elevators just stay covered of some sort as we do not freak out the hotel staff. Body paint is also perfectly fine. Just make sure those parts are painted. We have a video to watch to get an idea along with last years party photos to get an idea what to expect. But the sexier the better. 

Q. Can I buy tickets to only one event?

Yes, we will be posting in the near future single event ticket prices.

Q I am a single male and do not see ticket prices for such.

A: Gentleman must have a date for this event. So couples and single females only. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Q: How do I pick up my party tickets?

A: Starting at 5pm on Thursday at the Heavently House Ballroom mixer.  You can pick up your weekend wristbands. Both parties have to be there to get wristbands.  As staff puts on all wristbands after ID's are verified. After that Purgatory door staff will be set up at all events and pre purchased wristbands can be picked up along with event tickes purchased. 

Q: Can I get bottle service for the night time events.

A: Yes, the hotel has a special bottle service form and guests have until July 5th to get these forms in. Please email info@desirousparty.com to request bottle service. 

Q: How much are drink tickets?

A: Drink tickets are $9 for mixed drinks and $6 for beer and wine.  All drink prices are inclusive with tax and gratuity figured into the drink price. 

Q: Will there be a waiting list for hotel rooms in case this event sells out. 

A: Yes, we have started a stand by cancellation list as we are currently sold out of all 400 rooms. Please see DesirousParty.com/purgatory to get put on the stand by cancellation list. 

Q: Will you start another group block at another hotel.

A: No we will not. As we have produced this event to handle a certain amount of people. We believe in quality over quantity. So if we reach the point where tickets have been bought by what the event can handle. We will then sell out the event. So with that we are not going to start another group block at a different hotel. 

Q: Can we get reserved table bottle service. 

A: Yes, please email info@desirousparty.com and let us know which night or nights you are requesting. The hotel requires that botte service be done ahead of time on reservation forms. We can send those to you. 

Q. Can we bring our pool chairs into pool party area. 

A: No, not this year due to the size of crowd anticipated. We will have first come lounge chairs available but due to the amount of pool deck space needed we are not allowing any outside chairs, loungers etc.... into the party area. 

Q: Can we be nude or topless in the pool.

A: Texas TABC alcohol laws prohibit this along with corporate hotel policy. Itsy bitsy skimpy bikinis are fine. Pastease under see through or mesh tops is fine. Pastease in the ballrooms is also fine. Just cover up to and from your rooms and we will have a robe or coat check at each event. Body painting is also fine as long as all intimate areas are painted over etc..... Please watch the last few videos of Purgatory and you will definitely see that less clothing is perfectly fine for this event. 

Q. Will there be a pool party?

A: Yes, we are hosting a pool party on both Friday and Saturday.
