Pink Playshop: Spanking Hot Times

Posted by Gravity On May - 19 - 2013

 

Friday, June 7th, 2013 – 9pm to 10:15pm

Another fabulous playshop coming your way!

Every Pink party launches with a playshop free for party goers. This month you will be guided into the world of spanking!

Spanking Hot Times!

It’s time to redden the rump, thwack the tuckus, and paddle the posterior! Depending on your mood, a good spanking can be exhilarating, challenging, or calming.

In this playshop we will cover all the usual ways to hit butts: soft, hard, with hands, with toys, viciously, or with decorum. In addition, we’ll look at hit zones, sensations, and creating the mood you desire. We want to make this a highly interactive workshop, so if you can bring your own spanking top or bottom! If you can’t, come watch anyways and we will make sure you have a good time.

Aids Walk 2013

Posted by Gravity On May - 2 - 2013

 

 

Last July, a rag-tag team of Mission Controllers walked 6 miles through Golden Gate park to raise money to fight against AIDS. The walk itself was gorgeous as thousands of people hiked the route under warm skies. The atmosphere was positive and the energy was amazing

This year marks TEAM MISSION CONTROL’S 4th annual Aids Walk. The team is bigger and more oganized than ever before! Over the past 4 years, we have raised close to $20,000. The Aids Walk is a blast and it’s for a good cause. So get your walking shoes ready, come out and walk with Team Mission Control on Sunday, July 21, 2013.
What is the Aids Walk?:

In 2013, up to 1000 people here in our little 7×7 peninsula by the Bay will contract the HIV infection. One in five will not know they are HIV-positive for months or years, and will pass the infection along. Consider the math. This really affects anyone and everyone in San Francisco.

 

We would really appreciate your help in making an impact! Please sponsor or join us for AIDS Walk San Francisco. It’s fast, easy, and safe to make a donation online with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal. Your donation goes directly to the SF AIDS Foundation, and gets dispersed as grants to organizations like Larkin Street Youth Services, AIDS Legal Referral Panel, Homeless Youth Alliance, and other direct service organizations for individuals living with HIV.

SIGN UP HERE!

Benefits of joining Team Mission Control:

Each Team Member receives breakfast, lunch, ICE CREAM! plus other snacks along the route.

I have signed up, where do we meet?:

Meet at the Official Team Table located in Sharon Medows near Oak/Fell & Kezar drive. The tables will be in alphabetical order.

The Aids Walk opening ceremony starts at 9:45am. The actual walk begins at 10:30am SHARP!!

Do you have Questions or Concerns?

Contact Joe (Team Captain) at djtennessee (at) gmail.com

We hope to see you on Sunday, July 21st!
