PDX Queer Munch
Radio Room (1101 NE Alberta, Portland), 6:00–8:00 pm
This munch is for anyone who identifies as queer and their partners. By queer, we mean gay men, lesbians, fags, dykes, bisexuals, pansexuals, and polysexuals along with transfolk, those who are genderqueer, gender flexible, gender fluid, and gender fuckers. If the word queer feels like home for part of you or all of you, you are welcome. And when we say “partner” we mean everything from play partners to life partners. The Portland Queer Munch will happen every month on the first or second Thursday (depending on scheduling options).
The space is wheelchair accessible and the menu has lots of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options (and all clearly labeled!). There is plenty of free street parking and the 72 bus will drop you off within a block of The Radio Room. The munch will meet on the main floor instead of in the lounge areas so that we won’t be limited to 21+. This does mean that we can’t be too demonstrative about our kink so as not to scare off their other patrons, but the venue is completely aware of what our group is about and is happy to have us there! Please buy something to support the venue so that they’ll keep having us back. They do know that not everyone will be ordering food/eating full meals, but please do get a drink or a snack. Bottomless coffee is $2, and an order of fries is $3, to give you an idea of the prices.

From the deranged minds of Seattle’s Queen of Kinky Comedy Claire Webber and practicing sodomite Bobby Higley comes a game-show style kink show. This is a sexy show, but it is in no way a sex show. There will be no nudity, and no one will be made to feel uncomfortable or ashamed. If anything like that occurs at the show, anyone to report the bad behavior will be deeply rewarded in praise and love of their fellow people. There will be no photos until after the show. Photos will be taken by the incredible Shan Collier.
Because (_-Consent is List AF BB-_) we have a one-strike rule: break the rules, you will be escorted out. The lovely staff don’rsquo;t take kindly to assholes, creeps, homophobes, transphobes, MAGA hats, and dumbass rule-breaking hooligans!
There will be some built-in audience participation, and we want it enthusiastic, playful, and shame free! That includes the comics!

Meet new folks, catch up with old friends, share information, techniques, skills, and the like. This open event is a great way to find out about local events, parties, or to just grow your own personal network. No guided discussions, no presentations, just relaxed conversation with some great folks.
This event is held twice monthly, on the 2nd and 4th thursdays, at one of Tacoma’s favorite pizza joints, Puget Sound Pizza. While it is open to the public, we tend to take over the entire lower bar. Dress is casual public. Eating dinner is not required and tips are appreciated.
NOTE: This is an 18+ event and not a topic discussion group. If this is your first time attending please say hello to our host Sir Doug so that he can properly welcome you!
If you don’t see Sir Doug around, please introduce yourself to any of the SSLA Members in attendance (we are usually wearing a leather vest with a SSLA patch on the back) or our surrogate co-host, Maxx who also hosts the Kinky Cocktails & Karaoke afterwards. We want to have the opportunity to say hello, welcome you, and answer any questions that you might have!
Women’s Rope Enthusiasts Group
Gallery Erato (309 1st Ave. S,
Seattle), 6:00–8:30 pm / $5–10 donation
Come to a women-centered Rope Enthusiast Group. Practice ties, show off new ties, ask questions about rope practices and issues in a warm and fun environment focused on women tops, bottoms, and switches. Or just hang out and socialize! There is a lot of experience here and all the support and encouragement you could ask for! If you knit and want to bring your knitting, go right ahead! It is, after all just really small rope, right? Similar to other rope enthusiast groups, WREG is a place for the ladies to work on their rope bondage skills and techniques. It is a place for our community to practice, learn, and share. We encourage you to bring books, questions, friends — anything that will help facilitate your learning. WREG is open to everyone but with a primary focus on women and female-identified folks. Men and male-identified folks are welcome to act as practice bottoms for rope work. Also, chocolate. If you want to bring something to share, bring chocolate. It is always appreciated.

Exploring Electrocity
Gallery Erato (3019 1st Ave. S, Seattle), 1:00–3:00 pm / $30 ($22
in advance, duo and trio tickets available)
Electricity is versatile. The buzz and crackle of a violet wand is sexy. The sound of a high-voltage stungun can grab your attention like not much else. Direct nerve and muscle stimulation with TENS devices can take you anywhere from a pleasant tickle to a hands-free orgasm; from a silent signal across the room, to instantly folded on the floor. Want to learn about these? We’ll talk about all of them and more, with plenty of demonstrations. Electricity can also be dangerous. This workshop will provide the few simple basics you need to know to manage your risks when working with common equipment. The focus will be on practical skills using electricity for scenes that create some combination of joy, terror, and bliss with your partner. Taught by Russell Harmon, who has sometimes bought electrical contacts instead of food.
No late entry will be allowed due to the intimate nature of this workshop. Doors will be locked at 10 minutes after the start time.
Open to all 18+.
Attendance is limited to 30 people.

We provide high energy mats for moshing and rough’n’tumble play, or take some time on the quiet mats to recharge, cuddle, and receive treats for being such a good puppy! If it’s your first time at the public mosh and you don’t know where to start, keep an eye out for members of our Outreach Kennel, identifiable by their green and blue cords. They are there to answer questions and help you enjoy your time at the mosh.
The LEEP Kennel is proud to offer a new experience at the Public Mosh: Mat-Side Puppy Training! Whether this is your first visit to the Mosh, or maybe you’re just not quite sure how to get in on the fun, our Guest Trainer will be teaching the basics of Moshing to help get you comfortable getting in on the fun and engaging on the mats with all the other Pups! Look for Mat-Side Training during the first 30 minutes of the Public Mosh in a corner of the Quiet Mats!

Olympians Gathering
Private location in south Seattle, 6:00–10:30 pm / $5 for guests ($20 annual membership)
The Olympians are a social club for gay (and straight but not narrow) men who enjoy the freedom which comes with nudity. The group gets together in whole or in part on a monthly basis. We call these “events”. They are not necessarily “parties” but potluck functions, which consist of a meal and dessert, followed with social interaction and “other” forms of contact, including physical. These events are usually hosted in the homes of Olympians’ members, but a few times a year held in a rented space, with complete respect to be given to the owner’s property at all times. We always want the events to be a pleasant experience, as sharing the company of several other nude men can be. Pool and outdoor patio.
Pump
PumpJack Pub (1167 Davie St., Vancouver, BC), 9:00 pm / $5 (no cover in dress code)

for Pump — our monthly leather and fetish-themed event. While the dress code is not mandatory,
for those of you who abide, receive complimentary entrance (subject to venue
capacity). Come early to mingle in the
leather dock, and be sure to check out the various kink demonstrations that will
be happening from 8:00–11:00 pm. Event partner: Vancouver Men in Leather. Soundtrack: DJ Del Stamp w/ gogo support from our beefy studs.
