Find hand-drum circle for grandson - as a surprise.

2011-12-17T23:06:01Z

Although I have several non-music PhD's -- music has enriched my life and as a surprise to Anthony -- I am hoping to find my grandson - hand-drum circle / group / tribe, for his own experience. Several family tragedies resulted in adopting my grandson, as my son. He is now a freshman in college and opening to life experiences. Please help introduce Anthony to new, enlightening music experiences and opportunities for mutual friendships. Location: East Bay (preference, Castro Valley). I can be reached after 2PM @ 510-881-2636. Ask to speak with Dr. Metz. If Anthony picks-up your call first -- without giving away the secret, feel free to test his interest. Consider he as anyone may naturally be reluctant to speak to strangers. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes their precious time to help others and provide a referral(s). P. S. If I can't figure out how to delete this listing by 1/31/2012, please disregard -- unless you have great alternative referral. By then, I hope Anthony will have found a group-match.

Scottish stick and ball sport

2011-12-17T01:13:09Z

Scottish stick and ball sport Come out and try your hand at Shinty, one of the oldest team sports in the world. Shinty (camanachd in modern Gaelic) is about two teams of players striking a small leather ball with a curved stick, known as a caman. Comparisons have been made to field hockey, but in shinty a player is allowed to play the ball in the air and use both sides of the sticks. The ball does fly through the air quite often. Several players on our club have come from field or ice hockey backgrounds, while a couple had never before played organized sports. We have a wide range of age and skill level on the squad, and all teams are coed. We also traditionally grab a round of pints at the nearest pub after practice! More info at www.norcalshinty.com and please e-mail with questions of any kind at info"at"norcalshinty.com

Someone who has a tortured soul sometimes. If you like walking aimlessely then we'll get along. Someone who can make me laugh like Joel McHale ( The Soup). Sometimes I relax by watching some T.V. programs, which I don't want someone to judge me over. I love to meet real people, dreamers, artists, romantics and revolutionaries, from anywhere, especially people who are honest, intelligent, zest for life, truth and making a positive difference in the world.sexy musician, someone who calls me back, someone who doesn't lead me on would be nice.I'm a hopeless romantic and look for beauty in even the darkest corners of our beings and our worlds.An artist who'll take me out of my shell and create with me..Someone positive. I looking for someone who is sex positive, sweet, intelligent, has friends in the queer community. I am ready to start changing my day old routine. I want to find someone who can spend the night painting, writing or making music with me. I want my infant spirit to awake. I am attracted to those who are unbridled and untrammeled. I feel most alive when my lover is creative. I have a tendency to get itchy feet at times and need change and travel. I am driven with a need for knowledge and learning. if you like mumford and sons, jeff buckley and antony and the johnsons, i might just love you ! I tend to be really attracted to funny, sensitive, sweet tattooed men. I love piercings as well. I want to meet ambitious, hard working and dedicated man that's climbing the ladder to his dreams. I want someone who is ready for intimacy and a real connection with someone.

Food Reclaimers/Dumpster Divers

I am a fourth year anthropology student, and I'm working on a big, wonderful project on the reuse of discarded food, based in the Bay Area, I'm looking for people/organizations/groups who regularly dumpster dive for their food, or forage or otherwise are creative acquirers of their food. If you are an active food reclaimer/dumpster diver (especially if you are part of a larger household like a coop) and have no qualms with an anthro student tagging along in the name of research (I'm trying to make it very clear that this is a research project meant to further my and others knowledge of the interesting and unexpected places our food waste goes to)--PLEASE send me a message. I would not be a threat to your routes, your favorite spots or present you any competition, I just want to understand businesses that discard food, and how it is re-purposed. Thanks!

2/11 Dark Desires: Chocolate Fetish – a Paideia playshop, at SF Citadel

2010-02-11T05:56:37Z

Dark Desires: Chocolate Fetish playshop with Angela and Iain SFCitadel, 1277 Mission St at Ninth St, San Francisco Thursday, February 11th, 2010 doors 7:00, workshop 7:30 – 10:30 PM $20 - $25, sliding scale; plus $5 materials fee (paid separately) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EduKink http://EduKink.org http://edukink.tribe.net http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 http://fetlife.com/events/12010 http://sfcitadel.org Just in time for Valentine's. Nothing says romance like dunking your sweetie in chocolate. Literally. Tonight we focus on painting warm thick chocolate onto ourselves and each other. Then finding fun ways to remove it. This play can also be done both large and in delicate mehndi style. This is our tastiest playshop. It combines touch, taste, smell, art, imagination, and intimacy. We'll look at the origins of chocolate cravings. Half of women surveyed said they'd choose chocolate over sex. Now you don't have to choose. And we'll see how to make chocolate healthy for you! We cover the practicalities of using chocolate in erotic play, and learn how to avoid each of the potential problems. What are the most effective tools and ingredients? We'll use mainly strong dark chocolates, at 72%, and provide all the equipment and materials. After a demonstration, tasting, and discussion, we'll all practice it ourselves in a sensual, romantic setting. This is a messy, hands-on, clothing optional event, mainly aimed at couples and groups that want to play and learn together. It is suitable for beginners to advanced. Splosh indeed! RSVPs to edukink AT yahoo.com (subject: "RSVP chocolate") strongly requested, but not required. We need to estimate the amount of materials to provide. The evening has four parts (times approximate): 7 – 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 – 8:30 Presentation, Tastings and Demos 8:30 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on Chocolate Play practice 9:30 - 10:30 Open practice. You don’t need to bring anything. You may bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. Undressing is permitted and common, but not required. This gets messy. Bringing a washcloth or change of clothes would be good. We have sinks, but no access to a shower. You must clean your own mess. Partners: Chocolate play can be practiced alone or in pairs/groups. It’s better to prearrange a lab partner, rather than try to pair up during the munch period. If you want to find a suitable partner in advance, we recommend you join and post on http://edukink.tribe.net or http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need to wear or bring anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink / fetish / sensuality. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome. If you have questions you may write to edukink at yahoo dot com Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the guided hands-on workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice. = = Angela and Iain are officers in the Society of Janus, Dungeon Monitors for SF Citadel and elsewhere, and teach BDSM classes at all levels, at many venues. Their teaching style combines humor and approachability with clarity and thorough research. = = What attendees have said: “Best Valentine's Day gift I've every had.” “What's so kinky about drenching your partner in warm chocolate and goodies?” “I thought I'd tried everything.” "I attend every year!

12/10 Kinky Holiday Fantasia show and Paideia playshop

2009-12-10T01:01:05Z

Kinky Holiday Fantasia (sixth annual evening of fun-themed performance scenes) with Iain, Angela, and friends at SFCitadel, 1277 Mission St, at Ninth St, San Francisco Thursday, December 10th, 2009 doors 7, main event 7:30 – 10:30-ish PM $15-25 sliding scale Open to anyone 18+ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EduKink http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 http://fetlife.com/events/9875 http://edukink.tribe.net http://edukink.org http://sfcitadel.org This annual event is both a kinky performance and a playshop for those who wish to participate. An evening of holiday perversion is the perfect antidote to the ongoing saccharin Christmas mall onslaught. We take several holiday themes, and base kinky scenes on them. Amid the fun, we explain the various exotic techniques used. We also teach those interested how to pervert their own favorite traditions. Bring your toybag if you wish. There may also be volunteer demo model opportunities. Santa Rich Trove may slide down the alley, for those who haven't been Naughty enough yet, or who want to tell Santa just what they need. Sip hot chocolate or mulled cider, and munch cookies. Watch hot scenes. Typical scenes include Living Buffet, Jingle Boobs, a living Christmas tree, Angels we have Hung on High, living Christmas Presents, a Victorian caning, a living menorah, St. Lucy, and seasonal bondage fashions. Each show contains new material, plus your old favorites. Learn more techniques, such as sewing ornaments onto skin, decorative bondage, candle play, and quick-release bondage. A heart-warming evening for the whole leather family. Feel free to wear your holiday finest, whether that’s as a Snowflake, Elf, Santa, Victorian Schoolboy, Nutcracker, Dreidl, Tannenbaum, Ornament, Solstice Priestess, Ski Bunny, Scrooge, Marley in chains, or holiday pervert. Costumes admired but not required. Clothing optional. This evening will give you plenty of inspiration to get through more mundane holiday parties. “Can they really show that on stage?” “Your best value in adult holiday edutainment.” “The emphasis is on 'anyone can do it'.” “That's how Rudolf’s butt got so red.” “If you attend only one all-pervert, pan-sexual, pan-theist, three-ring, participatory, kinky holiday cabaret this season, attend this one.” = = Angela and Iain are officers in the Society of Janus, Dungeon Monitors for SF Citadel and elsewhere, and teach BDSM classes at all levels, at many venues. Their style combines humor and approachability with clarity and thorough research. Reservations not required. Membership not required. Participation not required. You don't need to bring or wear anything special. If time is tight, you can bring dinner to eat during the event. Some snacks will be provided. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome.

Spanking provides a specific pleasure/pain connection, due to its focus on the sweet spot. This class covers the range of spanking scenes, including sensual, punishment, role play, and more. We’ll provide demos and step-by-step instructions, from negotiation to positions to pacing to aftercare. Includes tips to help a bottom relax and enjoy the spanking. We’ll cover the emotional impact (and potential pitfalls) of childhood associations. The class is suitable for beginners to aficionados. You’ll always have your toys with you. This is a “hands-on” workshop, not just a lecture and demo. Plenty of spanking time, for those inclined. The evening has four parts (times approximate): 7 – 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 – 8 Brief Introduction 8-9:30 Demos and Hands-on Workshop 9:30-10:30 Open practice, using spanking and paddling in a scene of your choice.

9/19 Primal Wilde, a queer / trans / LGBTIQ celebration, in SF

2009-09-17T07:03:13Z

Primal Wilde Saturday, September 19th, 2009 8 pm - 1 am a private party for Queer and Trans folk, and their friends at a confidential SoMa location, San Francisco $20 (Do not forward this message to any list without permission.) "I can resist everything except temptation." It's the Fin de Siecle, and Oscar Wilde is the talk of London. Following Beau Brummel, he perfected the persona of the dandy. He is also a celebrated wit. “I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” He made great strides in being out of the closet, until he became publicly involved with a powerful man's son. He spent time in exile in Paris and San Francisco. (Not bad places for it.) This month, Primal welcomes Oscar back to San Francisco. "It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world." Wilde created the modern story of Salome, including the seven veil dance. "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." Come to Primal, Where the Wilde Things Are. = = Strict Dress Code. More information at http://EduKink.org/Primal/Wilde = = Future Primal dates include: November 7th (Primal Necropolis). Primal parties are large erotic social events for Queer and Trans folk (LGBTIQ) and their friends. They are closed and invitational. Each has a different theme and music. Age 18 and over. This is a non-commercial labor of love. For bay area locations, membership, dress code, philosophy, and complete details, see http://EduKink.org/Primal = =

We see people at parties who want to get together, but never quite make it. People in relationships sometimes get stuck, even though both are ready for progress or changes. This workshop goes beyond the usual checklists. Tonight we teach and practice how to open a conversation, make an offer, give good no/maybe/yes, and how to negotiate for what works for you. Differences between scene and relationship negotiations. How to ending and reopen negotiations. These skills apply from cruising strangers to improving a LTR. We also address negotiating with beginners. After the negotiation practice period, you're welcome to negotiate and play out a real scene if you like. This is a hands-on playshop. We'll do guided exercises in negotiation. You may also bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. This is our 50th Paideia.

World Leading Thinker, Futurist & Visionary pushing his Masterpiece 'The EU-US Merger Project' a Global Unification & Integration Project/Initiative toward the Upgrading of the Global Operation System

2010-03-01T22:56:40Z

The EU-US Merger Project Toward: 1)- the Prevention of the Annihilation of Humanity 2)- the Resolution of the World's Major Problems 3)- the Restoration of the Balance of Power on the Planet 4)- the Establishment of World Peace and World Prosperity 5)- the Upgrading of the Global Operating System and the Existence of Humanity 6)- the Rendering of War, Capital Punishment & the Burning of Fossil Fuels Obsolete 7)- the Creation of a Highly Enlightened World Federation 8)- and the Advancement of Civilization The "timely" solution & advanced global political strategy that i propose (i.e. my very own personal contribution to the evolution of humanity) to solving many if not ALL of the worlds major problems including war, corruption, global warning, poverty, the economy... lies in what i call the "ultimate power move," merging the 2 most powerful governments on the planet, the EU & the US. Precipitating or more accurately quickening the "already-in-motion" Global Unification & Integration process, toward the resolution of the world's major problems, is the overall goal (which includes saving humanity from complete annihilation & destruction of course). Merging the EU & the US will obviously "check" all aberrant countries/nations (North Korea, Syria, Iran...) from doing things they shouldn't otherwise be doing, included in the mix of being checked will be the US & the EU of course. After merging the EU & the US other countries can then be "systematically integrated" as well if they so choose. The "button-up" approach of the "North American Union", that is the US merging with Canada & Mexico, is childs play & essentally "less relevant" compared to the "top-down" approach of an EU-US Merger. The one VERY important caveat/requirement to having a "fully unified & fully integrated planet" is having the "right people" on top, unenlightened heartless half-wits will not only "not do" but they will worsen the already f---ed up & despicable condition of humanity & planet earth & obvioulsy that's a no no.

Cabaret Revival

2009-08-13T21:56:08Z

Do you rock? Do you have substantial proof? We're looking for versatile cabaret performers of the female variety - able to quickly learn and properly execute technical hybrid choreography. MUST be 18+ years of age MUST be dependable and willing to commit to at least 3 rehearsals a month MUST own professional performance demeanor MUST know at least a lil' about : FOSSE, TAP, the origins of HIP HOP, and the history of BURLESQUE and it's artsy counterpart NEO-BURLESQUE Send video submissions to counterculturedance@gmail.com Photos are a + For in person auditions visit the contact page at counterculturecollective.com ===================================================================================================== A little about us: We are movement artists - we create movement, inspire movement, we document it, share it, teach it and are constantly engaged in the act of promoting self exploration through it. This collective consists of activists of all flavors who are dedicated to the creation of dynamic hybrid works. We hold the belief that it is the social responsibility of the artist to build support networks, create open source forums and knowledge banks related to but not limited to our crafts. Moreover, to create the ripples that will spread cultural awareness and the kind of curiosity that leads to self exploration. Because of this, we work hard to connect with local talent in an effort to consistently push this forward. Our lives, our heARTs and our rehearsals are all intermingled. We train hard and party hard - all with the understanding that each moment is to be considered a unique chance for skill sharing and think-tanking. It is crucial for the growth of us all - for opportunities like these to be recognized so that each artist comes into their full potential by means of learning how to be both teacher and student, curator and collaborator. We are here because we love our art. We think about it night and day. We eat, sleep and breathe it. And, like nervous parents - we squint hard to get a glimpse into the future, to see what a fine adolescent it has the potential of becoming. We are mad and slightly obsessive. We perform because it hurts too much not to. We are thoughtful in our approach to the craft. We know that we were put on this earth to motivate and educate. Moreover, we are proactive and ready to fight - mainly for the sustainability of our heART form(s). We are creative activists with a diy method of living. Perhaps you too are a gipsy, with a grand itinerary full of travels intended to help you touch and share and learn. Perhaps you have work to do right where you are sitting. In any case, we are here and so are you. :)

8/13 Empty Handed - Scenes Without Toys, at SF Citadel

2009-08-13T05:09:18Z

Empty Handed - Scenes Without Toys with Angela and Iain at SF Citadel, 1277 Mission Street, San Francisco at Ninth St. in the SOMA district Thursday August 13th, 2009 doors 7, program 7:30 PM - 10:30ish PM $15 - $25, sliding scale http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EduKink http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 http://fetlife.com/events/4880 http://edukink.tribe.net http://EduKink.org http://SFCitadel.org - - Sometimes BDSM toys are more of a distraction than a help in conducting a scene. There are dozens of ways to play without using any toys. These span every category of BDSM play. Tonight we will learn and practice many of them, with emphasis on many toy-free forms of sensation, bondage, and impact play. After this class, you'll always be prepared to play, even if you didn't plan for it, or if the TSA "lost" your toybag. But more importantly, you gain confidence in being free of the props. You'll know how to construct a whole scene without toys, and how to augment any toys you do have. No luggage, no expense, no cleanup - just good connection. This is a hands-on playshop. We'll do guided exercises in toy-free techniques. You may also bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. The evening has four parts (times approximate): 7 - 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 - 8:00 Presentations 8:00 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on exercises 9:30 - 10:30 Open practice or play Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the guided hands-on workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice. Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need to wear anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome. If you have questions you may write to edukink at yahoo dot com No materials fee. *grin* - - Angela and Iain are officers in the Society of Janus, Dungeon Monitors for SF Citadel and elsewhere, and teach BDSM classes at all levels, at many venues.

7/09 Double the fun: Florentine Flogging - a Paideia playshop, at SF Citadel

2009-07-07T06:58:38Z

Double the fun: Florentine Flogging playshop with Angela and Iain at SF Citadel, in SOMA district of San Francisco 1277 Mission St at Ninth St Thursday, July 9th, 2009 doors 7:00, workshop 7:30 - 10:30 PM $15 - $25, sliding scale http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EduKink http://edukink.tribe.net http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 http://fetlife.com/events/3323 http://EduKink.org http://SFCitadel.org This playshop focuses on so-called "Florentine" flogging - using two similar floggers, one in each hand. This workshop teaches several two-handed techniques, including chases, butterfly, fanning, and three-beat weave. Double flogging greatly extends your repertoire and versatility. This is a second-level flogging playshop. You'll get more out of it if you already have solid skills in one-handed flogging (in each hand), and perhaps have tried two-handed. Good preparation is to practice flogging with your "off" hand. During the presentation we will not repeat introductory flogging material. However, during the hands-on part, we'll work with each attendee at whatever is their current level. The class is aimed at intermediate and advanced players, but may be suitable for some relative beginners. This is a hands-on playshop. Bring floggers if you have them, but you don’t need to bring anything. Flogging practice equipment will be available if you don’t have your own. You may also bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. You might also want a target pillow. We use special techniques borrowed from other disciplines, to make learning the more intricate moves faster and easier. The evening has four parts (times approximate): 7 - 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 - 8:00 Presentation and Demos 8:00 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on Double Flogging practice 9:30 - 10:30 Open practice Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”.

Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice. Partners: You can practice solo, e.g. on a pillow, or in pairs. It’s better to prearrange a lab partner, rather than try to pair up during the munch period.

6/11 Wet and WarmMmmm: Hot Wax play – a Paideia playshop, at SF Citadel

Wet and WarmMmmm: Hot Wax playshop with Angela and Iain SFCitadel, 1277 Mission St at Ninth St, San Francisco Thursday, June 11th, 2009 doors 7:00, workshop 7:30 – 10:30 PM $15 - $25, sliding scale; plus $3 materials fee http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EduKink http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 http://fetlife.com/events/2857 http://edukink.tribe.net http://EduKink.org http://sfcitadel.org Hot Wax play can vary from a warm sensual scene, to a form of bondage, to pain, to theater, to terror. Wax can be delivered from a lit candle, or many ways from a melter. Each gives different sensations. We cover all techniques, and how to choose equipment and supplies. And we’ll debunk some widespread misconceptions. This is not related to “Brazilian waxing” type hair removal. You’ll learn how to play with hot wax, how to keep it safe, and how to minimize the mess. The class is aimed at intermediate or advanced players, but may be suitable for some beginners. This is a hands-on playshop, not just a demo or brief sample. We’ll teach and demonstrate the range of play, then coach you through your own experiments. We provide complete loaner equipment. Wax can be hard to remove from clothing. You’ll want to be careful, or bring/wear expendable clothes, or be undressed. The evening is clothing optional. This is popular evening. The evening has four parts (times approximate): 7 – 7:30 Brown Bag Munch 7:30 – 8:30 Presentation and Demos 8:30 - 9:30 Guided Hands-on Wax practice 9:30 - 10:30 Open practice. You don’t need to bring anything. You may bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. Undressing is permitted and common, but not required.

5/30 Saturday Dog and Pony party

2009-05-29T06:08:24Z

Dog N Pony - animal role play party Saturday, May 30, 2009 8pm – 1 am ”Pets on Parade” at 9:30 SF Citadel 1277 Mission St at Ninth St, San Francisco $25 A gorgeous show pony, a well-trained police dog, a pile of romping kittens, a latex stallion pulling his mistress’s cart, a shiny zebra, a leather wolf, a leopard, bunnies, lemurs, manatees, and meerkats – animal role play creates magic for the participants and observers. The Saturday party is usually the busiest event of the weekend. The place is packed with animals, handlers, furries, littles, and various kinksters. We’ve had over 30 species attend. There's a lot of romping and interaction. The party provides stables, lunging, and grazing areas for ponies and large animals, plus cages, romp, and training areas for dogs and small animals. And plenty of laps and scritches for kitties and lap pets. There are also social areas and large bdsm play spaces with dozens of stations. Those new to pet play will have a chance to try it (if they like), under the guidance of experienced players. This includes both new handlers and new animals. Experienced players will have an opportunity to discuss their experiences, and demo their style. It’s also a good chance to find new partners. About 9:30 on Saturday we’ll begin our “Pets on Parade” segment. This allows anyone to show off their identity, tack, or style. It can be a routine or just a walk through. Preparatory coaching is available both Friday and Saturday. All events are anyone 18 and over. All genders and orientations. RSVP not required. SFCitadel membership ($10/year, available at the door) required for the Saturday night party - one member may bring in up to three guests. No photography or recording devices. Costumes admired, but not required. We suggest everyone wear something special (animal, trainer, fetish, sexy, leather, evening wear, club wear, all black, etc), rather than plain street clothes. To be clear: 1) This is a participatory experience, rather than a staged theatrical performance. 2) Everyone involved is an amateur, though many are quite dedicated and skilled. 3) This is about humans role playing with other humans, there are no non-human animals involved. If you've never been to a party in a dungeon before, we have some notes that tell you what to expect and how to behave. Although at Dog N Pony there's more romping, petting, sniffing, and prancing. Volunteer slots and work exchange available. See DogNPony.org/volunteers Questions to edukink in the domain yahoo dot com.

Representin’ on the playa: Seeking People of Color for a new Burning Man camp

2009-05-25T19:44:13Z

Hello Lovely Peoples! We are second year burners looking to create a majority person of color camp for Burning Man 2009. For us, Burning Man is a wonderful experimentation of how the world could be. We want to bring to that experience an inclusive space where people of color have a strong presence rather than playing an anecdotal role. In the default world we find people of color working together towards creating a positive existence and finding strength in that solidarity. We want to bring that element of strength in solidarity to the playa. We don’t know what will come out of this but we are ready and excited for the journey. We hope to create not just a haven for people of color, but an instrument for our unique creative and cultural contributions. So far we are women of color in our thirties who refuse to fit into anyone’s box, even though we might like to decorate it for you. One is a hula hoping, crafty PhD candidate whose dance moves makes the entire crowd stop and watch. One is a Japanese speaking, community organizing, dreaded yogi master of both the culinary and flirtation arts. Our cultures are integral elements of our personalities and help to make us the creative, fun, and thriving individuals we are. What does that mean exactly? That’s up for discovery and EVOLUTION (this year’s theme). Calling on all appreciators and participaters, hip hoppers and indie rockers, self-loving and self-celebrating mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers, grandstanding bootie shakers as well as reserved observers. We want to meet you and start planning this year’s evolutionary experience as soon as possible. If interested in making some new friends, going to burning man, and exploring this idea with us please get in touch. pixievixen420@hotmail.com

You don’t need to bring anything. Flogging practice equipment will be available if you don’t have your own. But if you have floggers, bring them. You may also bring your general toy bag for the open practice period. You might also want to bring a target pillow and/or a sheet, towel or blanket. Paideia (“pie DAY ah”) is a Greek word meaning “learning through play”. Paideia evenings are more than regular workshops. First we socialize. You may bring your dinner or snacks to eat during the munch period. Then we see demos. Then we do the structured hands-on workshop. You’ll mainly work in pairs learning and refining your skills. Then during the open practice period, you may integrate your new skills with other play techniques. Or you may do more practice, or watch the variety of techniques that others practice. Partners: Some of the exercises are done solo, others are more effective done in pairs. It is better to prearrange a lab partner, rather than try to pair up during the munch period. If you want to find a suitable partner in advance, you can post on http://edukink.tribe.net or http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 Reservations not required. Membership not required. You don't need to wear anything special. The event is open to anyone 18 years and older with a sincere, positive, personal interest in BDSM / leather / kink. All roles, genders, and orientations welcome. If you have questions you may write to edukink at yahoo dot com = = Angela and Iain are officers in the Society of Janus, Dungeon Monitors for SF Citadel and elsewhere, and teach BDSM classes at all levels, at many venues. Their teaching style combines humor and approachability with clarity and thorough research. = = What attendees have said: “It’s given me confidence and a lot more options.” “Thorough and pragmatic. Very effective.” “A class, a mini-party, and a munch. The best way to spend a Thursday. It’s already on my calendar for next month.” = = “Effective Flogging” is part of the Paideia Series of monthly BDSM/leather events / workshops mainly for those of intermediate or advanced experience. The format intends to combine the best elements of hands-on workshops, a munch, a play party, and a peer workshop.

4/18 Cigar and Port Social at NWLC

2009-04-17T16:29:31Z

Cigar and Port Social at NWLC sponsored by Society of Janus hosted by Angela and Iain at Northwest Leather Celebration / Northwest Master-slave contest in Sunnyvale, CA Saturday, April 18th, 2009 Conference Fri-Sun, this social 9-11 pm on Saturday http://NorthwestLeatherCelebration.com http://soj.org http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EduKink http://fetlife.com/groups/1780 http://fetlife.com/events/1417 http://edukink.tribe.net http://EduKink.org Conference Registration (day or weekend) available and required. After the Saturday evening contest and run show at NWLC, many attendees retire to the outdoor pool and hot tub terrace for conversation and complimentary array of ports and cigars. Port is a luxurious fortified dessert wine, usually red. This social is part of the conference, and so requires conference registration. Sponsored by Society of Janus since it's inception in 2008, and hosted by Angela and Iain. Suggested attire ranges from formal leathers to fetishwear to swimwear / hot tub wear. As the evening progresses, you may want to add a warmer layer. The pool is brisk, but the hot tub is open and gets used. Sometimes people get served port or cigars in the hot tub -- more kinky decadence. A covered area is available, as well as space heaters. Some attendees decline the cigars and/or port - the social part is the key. Being outdoors, the smoke is less of a problem for the many non-smokers in attendance. And for some, this is their only cigar of the year. The energy of the social is a nice blend of leather protocol, relaxed mingling with local and national people, and celebration of the NWMs contestants. Conference Registration (day or weekend) available and required. = =
