A Word From Our Hostess
Stephanie Mufson – Chief Trickster, Curator, Director of Trickster

“After almost 2 years of invoking creative mischief & magic at our home, Mission Control, Trickster has got the travel bug (as Tricksters are known to do!). Trickster will continue to host events at MC quarterly & in the months in between we will bring our community & our artistic hi- jinx to other art & event venues throughout the bay area. MC Allies will continue to receive free entrance to all our events at Mission Control, and will be given a 75% discount on door prices at all other Trickster venues. This is a very exciting transition for all of us, as branching out will help build our community & our mission & bring more love & empowerment to our beloved artists, performers, and of course the Mission Control community! Mission Control, the venue and the vision, will always be at the core of who we are and what we do at Trickster- and we hope you’ll join us as we continue the adventure!”
AS ALWAYS, PLEASE DRESS TO ENHANCE THE ATMOSPHERE!Think: Tribal Masks, Tribal attire, Venetian Masks, Ballroom Gowns, Pin Striped Suits, Baby Blue Tuxedos, Steampunk, etc. We always love bold colors and patterns and costumes of all kinds, weather or not they fit the theme! 

Please No Jeans! (No, you will not be turned away for jeans, we’d just really prefer something with more schnazzz, if you’ve got it)
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.”

PrePink Playshop: Bind Without Twine

Posted by Gravity On February - 19 - 2012


Friday, April 13th, 2011 – 9pm to 10:15pm

Another fabulous pre-Pink play-shop coming your way!

Every Pink party launches with a playshop free for party goers. This month we learn a little about freestyle bondage.

Bind without Twine: Bondage Ad Libitum!

Whether you don’t own rope or just want to experiment with something a little more unexpected, this class will have something for you! We will succinctly discuss safety and negotiation for restraint, then jump right into involving you in creating bondage with unconventional materials. From the expected (neckties, belts) to the less cliche (the clothes off their backs, nylons, pillowcases, necklaces), this playshop will look at a large variety of “found” bondage implements and how to apply these safely and creatively. Just wrapping a pair of pantyhose around your partner’s hands isn’t going to cut it- we will cover the entire process, from specific application guidelines (including variations like limb to limb bondage vs tying off to furniture), execution in context, setting and maintaining a “mood” for your scene (from silly to sadistic), all the way to aftercare and follow-up. Then practice what you learned at Pink after the playshop- no extra supplies required!

About Stefanos and Shay:
As Purveyors of Perversion, Stefanos and Shay are known for teaching classes that are entertaining (they’ve been called “better than a Vegas act”) and also packed with useful and applicable information. Their classes always include a detailed handout. Together they host events and teach classes several times a month in SF Bay Area and beyond. Chey is an ER nurse by day, while Stefanos is all kink all the time in his professional life as the Steward of The Upper Floor on Kink.com and as DM and manager of Bondage-a-Go-Go. They are compulsive volunteers within the leather community, and identify as pansexual polyamorist playsluts (and probably a few other P’s they haven’t thought of yet). They have performed, presented, and hosted events at many venues including the SF Citadel, Mission Control, NorthWest Leather Celebration, KinkAcademy.com, the Exotic Erotic Ball, Behind Closed Doors in Arizona, and in a number of documentaries across the world. You can read more about them on their web site, www.StefanosandChey.com

PrePink: Convertible Pervert-ables!

Posted by Gravity On January - 17 - 2012


Friday, February 10th, 2011 – 9pm to 10:15pm

Another fabulous pre-Pink play-shop coming your way

Every Pink party launches with a playshop free for party goers. This month we consider how to make kinky toys from everyday objects:

Convertible Pervert-ables!!

Everyday items transformed into delicious toys of sensual torture and delight? Are your ready to pervert your kitchen utensils? Yes? Yes! In this class we will discover the wonderful world of kinky toy making. Topics will include how to use your creativity when making your pervert-ables, materials that are well suited for kinky crafting, safety, and ways of making your new toys work for you. This class is geared towards those who want to add some variety to their toy bags as well as folks committed to having the only one of a kind! Whether you are edgy or just playful this playshop will help you to be creatively sexy!

Presenter: UltraViolet

A San Francisco native, UltraViolet is known as an “energizer Top” – she can play all night and still want more, much to the delight of her lucky playmates. Some of the toys that she has a special fondness for are single tails, floggers, and the dreaded yet also welcomed rubber bands, also known as “candy stripes”. In her spare time she enjoys corset-making, fetish photography, and conspiring with other sadists. UltraViolet also has a talent for making her own “implements of torture” as most of your “garden variety” toys are just not quite mean enough for her.
