OLD TOWN, Maine — When members of the Bare Nekkid Mainers rent the Old Town Bowling Center, all they really need are the shoes. "Hey, you can't go skinny-dipping at this time of year," Hessa, who organizes the gatherings and wanted to be identified only by her first name, told the Bangor Daily News.
Self-described naturist nudists, the Bare Nekkid Mainers belong to an international organization and participate in nudist events throughout the year.
The group used to bowl in Albion, but their venue there closed.
During the three events held at the Old Town center since September, the one-story building was closed with its windows and doors covered. Signs announced that a private party was in progress.
"I have absolutely no problem with it, and I hope nobody else does," Charles "Chip" Carson, the center's owner, said Monday. "They just happen to like having a good time without their clothes on."
Still, on one occasion earlier this month, a man apparently ignored the signs and entered the center with his 8-year-old son.
"I tried to stop him," Hessa said Monday. "He walked through two doors that were covered in paper and had signs."
He apparently saw a nude male playing pool and went to police.
"One of our officers went over there to check," Old Town police Capt. Kyle Smart said Monday.
Police found no violations, and after checking with the city attorney and municipal officials, concluded there has been no wrongdoing.
"We're not doing anything sexually explicit, and we're not out there doing it on Main Street," Hessa said.
About 60 households belong to Bare Nekkid Mainers, and several dozen people have participated in each bowling event in Old Town, the newspaper said.
Carson turns the thermostat up to make his patrons more comfortable and says the events are handled like any private party.
"Everybody's laughed at it, to be honest with you," he said
Doesn't everyone?
"Officer, I was shocked to find nude people in the pool hall where the sign said 'Warning: nude people in pool hall'".
ew. No pics please!
Doesn't everyone?
My ex-wife didn't.
"I tried to stop him," Hessa said Monday. "He walked through two doors that were covered in paper and had signs."
He apparently saw a nude male playing pool and went to police.
I do believe that this man was trying to find something in order to make a complaint. Either that or he was just dumb.
And now we know the plot of Stephen King's next novel...
:^o
Kinda gives Seven Ten split a whole new meaning...
Unfortunately, the majority of nudists are the LAST people you ever want to see naked.
You may be thinking Playboy, but the reality is more like National Geographic.
There's nudists in River City!

Yeah and the guy was obviously cheating since he had two sticks. (One looked like it was for the short shots)
Obviously it wasn't pocket pool.

And it goes without saying that they look more like Rob Reiner than Rob Lowe.
