I have two tickets to a BDSM play party in San Francisco, and I don't know what to do with them. Any ideas? (I promise this is not the lead-in for a very belated Rabbit Hole Day entry.)
How did I end up with tickets to an event with torture and spanking and butt plugs and more naked people than all three seasons of Deadwood (plus whatever's aired from Game of Thrones) combined? Good frakking question. Basically, it's Wicked Grounds's fault.
About a month ago the owners decided that they were financially and emotionally exhausted by the effort of trying to stay afloat, and that they would be closing at the end of April. So many people protested that they decided to give it one last shot. If they could raise $50,000 (the bare minimum needed to keep the place open for another six months), they would stay open. To that end, there was a fundraising event yesterday at the San Francisco Citadel (dungeon in SOMA), with strip trivia and a raffle and auction. (Side note: we made our goal and Wicked Grounds will be around for at least six more months. For the motherfucking win.)
Among all the nekkid titties and cock (more than I think I've seen in the previous 26 years combined - also first time I'd seen an uncircumcised penis in the flesh, as it were) I ended up winning two tickets to a play party/art exposition at the Citadel on May 6. As it's not really Aaron's bag, and I'm a) not sure if it's my bag either, b) even if it is I'm not going to flirt or play with non-Aaron people, and c) my bum leg is still wrapped in unsexy and clumsy green plaster, if anyone else can make better use of the tickets, or knows someone who can, please let me know. (You can email me or comment anonymously if you prefer.)
From the Citadel's website:
The Dirty Palette will be a BDSM event that combines deviance with artistic creation, making the body a canvas in every sense of the word! The evening is set to provide:
* A 'bad' art gallery-
Guests will have an hour, 9pm-10pm, to create their own perverted (or not!) art image on canvas, paper, or the body at The Dirty Palette. Numbers will be assigned to each piece and a judging panel will vote on the best of our very own art show- Prizes will include passes to citadel parties, and various goodies!
* Tarped off Paint and Torture areas for you to create colorful and sensual or menacing art
* A human SpiroGraph performance and interactive bondage sculpture provided by Miss Maggie Mayhem
* Penetrative paintbrush demos and general fun -
bring a dildo or butt plug that has a Vac-u-Lock or vibe insert in the underside and join in the fun.
* Human collage with Nerine, Pink, and Muse
* Artist and Critic Takedown
* Surprise Performances!
* Littles coloring area!
* Perverted Paint-By-Numbers!
* Light fare, Sparkling wine and sodas from 9-11pm
* 2500 Square Feet of P l a y S p a c e
Bring your own art supplies and tarps if you'd like as a new extension of your toy bag, but we will have things provided. Canvases will be available at cost (3-10$) but there will be plenty of canvas boards and paper available as part of the fun supplies provided!
