“We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states, periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal growth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience.”-http://www.crystalinks.com/trickster.html

A San Francisco ORIGINAL!     Friday, October 15 | 10pm – Late

This month Pink is Blue! We sing the blues, swing the blues and maybe even sting the blues.

Come out and learn how to Swing the Blues in our special Blues dance class play shop at 9 pm. Then practice your new swinging skills on our dance floor with the singing sounds of blues tunes old and new.

But the Blue doesn’t stop there. Oh No! We will be spreading that color all over the screen with some steaming hot vintage Blue films for your Pink selves.

Feel inspired to get in role? Come out in your fedora, spats, pin stripes, polka dots, rockabilly halter tops – wheeee!

Or come in your blue jeans – we won’t mind as long as you feel fine.

Mission Control events are for members only | Become a member, it’s free and instant
Cost: $30 at the door | $20 for Allies | Alliance Cards or Multipasses passes accepted

Dress Code: You can leave your costumes at home and just come all gussied up or even dressed down.

Vibe: friendly, low key, relaxed. Pink is pansexual: queer, kink, and fetish friendly.

NOTE: to attend this event, you MUST arrive and leave with a responsible partner, your “PAL” for the night. You don’t have to be a couple, but you and your PAL are responsible for each other during the party.

This is a private event. 21 and over only (we check ID!) No alcohol will be served. Please RSVP for invitation & location.

Author, blogger, and sex-positive pundit Violet Blue recently gave props to a couple of Mission Control projects, namely Kiss and the SanFranSexy magazine.

On her blog, Violet reviews a new movie produced by Private.com titled “An Open Invitation” which explores the ins and outs of non-monogomy and the swinging lifestyle. The movie follows the exploits of two couples which eventually leads them to the Upper Floor at Kink.com. The film utilizes real San Francisco couples. In fact, those couples are from Kiss.

And in another entry, Violet blue praises the new SanFranSexy magazine by saying, “Finally, a hip, warm and welcoming monthly magazine about sex in SF. Sleaze free, sophisticated, and more fun than a barrel full of sex kittens!”

Check out Violet Blues blog. It is certainly worth a book mark for anyone that wants to keep current on sex in the media and technology.
