Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.

“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 gtrirowth 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.”

Ever been to a hot and heavy queer dance party, found a sweaty little cutie, and wished you had some place to sneak away and get it on? Yea, we have that.

Welcome to VELVET, San Francisco’s Premier play party for queer perverts, located at the same venue as the infamous Kinky Salon!  Whether you are kinky, shy, exhibitionist or just curious VELVET is the only queer dance party where you can do the dirty.

This month we are featuring a pre-party workshop with Allison Moon: Girl Sex 101 from 8-9 pm!

Allison Moon is a writer and educator from Oakland. Her first novel, Inner Moonlight, is about lesbian werewolves and will be released in October 2011. Allison is also a founding member of Camp Beaverton for Wayward Girls, Burning Man’s largest home for queer women. Learn more about her at www.TalesofthePack.com.

We also welcome Chloe Camilla as our special guest performer! Chloe Camilla is a queer femme-inist performance artist, sex educator, sex worker, and writer. As a Phi Beta Kappa pervert who has won awards for her work in sexuality (in both the academic and porn worlds), she enjoys sharing her knowledge with learners of all ages. Stilettos, glitter, consent, kink, and fierce politics get her off.

PrePink: Getting the Good Stuff!

Posted by Gravity On June - 8 - 2011

Friday, July 8, 2011

PrePink Workshop: 9pm to 10:15 pm
Pink Party: 10:00pm to 3am

Getting to the Good Stuff!

With Marcia Baczynski

Cost: Free with paid Pink admission

The Playshop:

Getting to the Good Stuff: Playful Play Party Negotiation
You’re at Pink (or Kinky Salon, Or Kiss) and you notice that hottie looking at you. How do you get from sideways glances to hooking up without missing a beat (or looking like an idiot)? How do you figure out what you’re each up for? What do you do when safer sex needs to be discussed? How do those other people make it look so easy?!

This hands-on (and hilarious) pre-Pink Playshop will show you how to

  • Ask so you’re more likely to get a yes
  • Hear a No without being rejected
  • Handle uncertainty in yourself or your partner
  • Use playful counter-offers to get more of what you want
  • Get more of the Good Stuff while staying inside your and your new friends’ boundaries

About Marcia Baczynski

Presenter Marcia Baczynski is known for her eminently practical, light-hearted, playful approach to intimate negotiation. As co-creator of Cuddle Party, she’s helped thousands of people explore non-sexual intimacy and boundaries, and as the founder and head coach at AskingForWhatYouWant.com, she works with individuals and couples to help them find out exactly what they want in relationships, love and sex, and how to get it. Marcia is a former member of the Bridge at Mission Control and thinks more people should hang out in sex-positive spaces while dressed like clowns.
