Seattle Men in Leather Friday Social
Online via Zoom (from Seattle), 8:00–10:00 pm
Join us on Friday night for an online version of SML’s 1st Friday Leather Social.
We will use the Zoom video conference system, complete with breakout rooms so smaller groups can chat more easily. Gear up, grab yourself a beverage (adult or otherwise), and join us for some quality leathermen time.
Gear It Up! This is a *leather* (and such) social, so it’s time to break some gear out of the closet and drawers and bins — something casual, or full BLUF formal, if you like. Rubber, puppy, uniform, whatever floats your kink boat that night!
Bigger screens are better, of course (we’re all size queens in our way!), so if you have a tablet or laptop, that’s better than a phone. And if you can cast to your TV, so much the better.)
Zoom link will be provided to SML members via email and in the Facebook on the day of the event.
Special this month: The Seattle Leather Artists Media Art Show was originally scheduled for March, but was cancelled due to Coronavirus concerns. We are taking it online! This month, at about 8:30 pm, we will have special guest Ed Bader from Alberta joining us, giving a presentation on and showing some of his leather-themed art (and maybe selling some, too). Please join us. This will take about 30 minutes, maybe more if the discussion trends that direction.

Rain Country Line Dancing @ Home
Online via Zoom (from Seattle), 7:00–9:00 pm with lesson @ 7:30 pm
Lessons: (new from Stompede) + The Wolf recap / Instructor: Jim / DJ: Jim
We may not be able to get together to dance at this time, but we can still dance together. At the same time. Socially distanced but in synch. Join us on the Zoom video conference system — install it on your phone, tablet, or laptop (it’s free), call into the “meeting”, and set your device where you can see other people dancing. (You may also be able to cast to a TV and set your device in front of it.)
Jim will DJ a bunch of our Tuesday night favorites, and we can all dance — or have a beverage and just watch, and use Zoom’s chat feature. We will also try to add a lesson into the mix. A 6x6 space would be best, but you may be able to work with a smaller space than that. (NOTE: if you will be dancing on carpet, you’ve got to have slick-soled shoes or you might hurt your knees or ankles. It’s a lot different from dancing on a wood floor.)
Century Ballroom Line Dance Class
Online via Zoom (from Seattle), 5:30–6:30 pm / $20 (10 student limit, must sign up on web site)
Slowly we begin, step by step, to enter into the world of movement together.
We also reached out to the state directly for guidance and we feel ready now to begin safely.
It will take all of us to remain healthy and safe and this is what we are doing and what you can do to help.
What we are doing…
- Socially distant dance “spaces” are marked on the floor
- Hand sanitizer is in the hall and at the entrance into the space
- Restrooms are unlocked so that no codes are needed
- We utilize both the window fans and standing fans throughout the space
- There will be 30 minutes in between each class so that we may sanitize the areas of use
- Class size is limited to five couples or 10 people for solo classes
- The building’s exterior doors are locked. We will let you in five minutes before class
What we ask of you...
- Partners must be from the same household/bubble
- You will fill out a Waiver/Statement of being symptom-free, each day of class
- We will take your temperature at the door
- Masks must be worn at all times — including during class.
No details available about what will be taught.
Puppy/Pet Movie Social
Online via Netflix Party (from Portland), 8:00–11:00 pm
Instead of a social this month, PDX PAH will be bringing you a Netflix Party! Everyone in the party can watch the same movie at the same time and chat with each other on the same screen. We will be selecting a themed movie in the upcoming weeks and posting updates on here. Requests are welcome!
Last month we had time for two movies and we plan to do the same this month. First movie will start shortly after 8:00 pm, the second following a short intermission. Most movies run about 90 minutes, so expect to see the second movie start around 9:30–9:45 pm.
You can download the extension for free and follow the instructions to get it all set up. You will also need Chrome and a Netflix account; if you don’t have an account yet, Netflix offers a free 30-day subscription that you can cancel at anytime.
So snuggle up in front of the computer with your snacks, drinks, and blankets, and get ready for a relaxing night with all of us!
