A huge thank you kiss to all sexy and sassy couples and single ladies that made it out to our BIGGEST PARTY EVER last Saturday night!  Mission Control was truly standing room only – so we’ve got some VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES coming your way for the next party and beyond…

As KISS has now become THE place to be on Saturday nights, we are now going to be a PRE-SALE-ONLY party…some of our members were turned away last weekend due to the insane number of people packed into our little slice o’ heaven, and we don’t want that to happen again!  So that means that each and every time you want to attend a party, you will need to buy your tickets through Brown Paper Tickets, our awesome new ticketing system HERE. (This link is for Kiss Members only.)

Also, you may have noticed that we shortened the name of the party to Kiss. Simpler, easier, and more to the point.

Please remember that Kiss occurs on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.

So until the next party we hope that y’all are getting up to some seriously naughty shenanigans and enjoying the summer!

Kisses, kisses, kisses….

At the April 16th Pink, we were honored to host fetish artist Nancy Peach, on her birthday(!), following her art reception at the SF Armory. Along with Ms. Peach, over twenty fetish art lovers joined us as the official Femina Potens after party!

One of our Femina Potens guests was Marc Taro Holmes, aka Tarosan, who spent a bit of time using his marvelous talents to capture some of our Pink play in the above watercolor sketches. Thank you Marc!

Twenty plus after-party folks at Pink plus close to twenty rope riggers at Madame Butterfly‘s pre-class mixed in with another 50 ALLIES and friends made for a hot and steamy night. All that rope was thrilling – why at one point there was even a woman suspended from the pole on the dance floor!

Speakeasy Japan was a huge success! Thanks to everyone that volunteered to make Mission Control’s first Speakeasy a great event. And thanks to all the folks that came out and participated in a truly unique and memorable evening.

Nearly a month ago we had asked folks to tweet a motto for Mission Control. Many twits tweeted. Here are the entries. Do you have a favorite?  We sure did! Can you guess who the winners are?  Stay tuned for the grand announcement!

The mottos will be evaluated by our esteemed panel of judges and the winner will be announced at our Mission Control Launch event on NYE and of course on Twitter! The winning motto as well as its runner ups will be made into buttons. Runner ups will receive a set of winning mottos for free.
