Presented by Max.  This is a highly interactive event, mostly comprised of demos on attendee volunteers.  It provides a safe and informal space to observe, experience, learn, and discuss a number of kink activities.  After a brief introduction covering scene dynamics, negotiation and safety, volunteers have opportunities to bottom to Max for demos which may include:
• Rope bondage
• Electrical toys — violet wands, TENS/ErosTek, stun guns and zappers
• Needles / temporary piercing
• Pressure points
• Floggers
• Singletail whips
• Canes
• D/S and service dynamics
• Leather & metal bondage (including hoods)
• Cages
• Erotic hypnosis
Each demo will include some time for a debrief and Q&A.  This is a great workshop for anyone curious about kink, as it’s an unusual opportunity to see many different types of play up close and personal.  It’s also valuable for more experienced kinksters who would like to see a professional demonstration.  And it’s a great opportunity to meet Max and to do a demo scene with him, of course.  This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.  You can bring a partner or a group of friends, but coming alone is completely comfortable and appropriate.  If you miss this workshop or want a deeper experience, Max also offers private instruction for bondage and many other BDSM techniques.  Class size is limited and preregistration is required.

This is an online event, modeled after the highly successful All The Demos event that has been running since 2014.  Max will have demo partners on-site, and you get to watch, learn, and interact remotely. Online event information will be shared with registered attendees.

Lessons: Groovy Love + I’m In Love With You recap / Instructor: Jim / DJ: Jim

Line Dance Step Sheets and Videos: http://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/groovy-love-ID127139.aspx

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.)

Here is the link to the meeting.  Go into Gallery Mode so you can see everyone who is in the meeting.  Oh, and be sure to Start Video so we can see you, too.  Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/181948351?pwd=KzN0ZEI1YW8yNlczQm1zYXJudnlvZz09 (ID: 181 948 351 / Pass: 522008)

https://www.pan-eros.org/event/womens-rope-enthusiast-group/?instance_id=3554

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.

Theme: Let's talk about asymmetrical tying this month!  It provides both freedom and a challenge while we balance whims with necessary structure.  Sometimes, form follows function, as we include more dynamic and asymmetrical body positions.  It can also add visual interest, as the eye is drawn to unexpected places of the body.  Asymmetrical tying comes with its own set of challenges and dangers (of course!) that we can discuss and try to overcome through practice and effective communication with our partners.  Please RSVP on FetLife.

Bruceport County Park (South Bend, WA), $25 US members, $35 US guest (with sponsor)

Info: https://borderriders.com/rides/2021/5/15/2021-brmc-may-run

Bruceport County Park is not a new one for the club as we did a day ride there in 2020 when Seattle and Portland met there, but a new one for camping.  Basically halfway between Portland and Seattle.  Day ride opportunities include Westport, Ocean Shores, and Long Beach in addition to some inland routes.  There is not a “group camp”, but we have the shelter area for both days and campsites B1-B8 for camping.  A restroom with flush toilets and shower is close by to the area we have.  Food opportunities are in Raymond and South Bend.  We will not be doing a group dinner on Saturday night as usual, instead people are encouraged to bring food back to camp and join together at the covered shelter.

Online via Zoom (from Seattle), 6:00–7:00 and 7:15–8:15 pm / $25 per class (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.   Please fill out the COVID acknowledgement form at https://centuryballroom.com/home/classes/drop-in-classes.  
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

- There will be 15 minutes in between each class so that we may sanitize the areas of use

- The building’s exterior doors are locked.  We will let you in five minutes before class
What we ask of you...

Take this opportunity to join your board of Directors for SEA-PAH’s monthly Board Meeting and take an active role in your community.  This is, hands-down, the best way to know what is currently happening in the SEA-PAH community and to offer your ideas and input for future plans and events!  Important!  Since this meeting will be using Google, please take care to edit your username to your liking prior to joining the meeting!  This is an 18+ event.

Online via Zoom (from Portland), 3:30–6:00 pm

Come in all your favorite gear, bring your chew toys along, and munch on treats and snacks.  You can even wear the spiky collars and shoes that you can’t at our regular moshes!  We will be using Zoom, a video chat platform that allows up to 100 users to tune in at a time.  All you need is a computer or phone that allows you to tune in; if you don’t have a video camera or mic, you can still chat with folks and see what is happening on the screen.  This format also lets you create a custom username so people can see you by your pet or scene name instead of a legal name.
Notes:
1) Please wear bar-friendly gear.  Tail plugs are ok.
2) This will be a strictly 18+ event.
3) Please refrain from heavier BDSM and sexual play.  While we are all adults, not everyone is comfortable seeing that and you never know who may be tuning in on their lunch break.  Fetish gear, restraints, and light play are okay.
4) While we love squeaky toys and barks and howls, please be mindful of getting them too close to your mics.

About MAsT South Sound: We are an inclusive and integrated group and would love for you to come talk with us about the fundamentals of healthy power dynamics.  We won’t pretend to know the answers, but instead offer a starting point for discussion in the hopes that we may all reach greater personal and relationship growth.  All types, statuses, labels and identifiers welcome!  After MAsT: Sometimes the conversation is so good that we want to keep it going!  Develop deeper connections and relationships and enjoy further discussion over dinner.  Location: To be announced after meeting.

This month: Share your story!  We talk about a lot of serious stuff here but sometimes it’s good to remember that we are here because it makes us happy too!  I have several sub-topics to go through from best bruises to top rope ties. Come share your voice, time, memories and laughter with us.  And hopefully come away with some deviant and delicious ideas, too!  We look forward to this casual and fun conversation.

Join us on Thursday night for an online version of SML’s 3rd Thursday 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.

Lessons: Strip It Down (*** NEW ***) / Instructor: Jim / DJ: Jim

Line Dance Step Sheets and Videos: http://www.copperknob.co.uk/stepsheets/strip-it-down-ID107574.aspx

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.)

Here is the link to the meeting.  Go into Gallery Mode so you can see everyone who is in the meeting.  Oh, and be sure to Start Video so we can see you, too.  Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/181948351?pwd=KzN0ZEI1YW8yNlczQm1zYXJudnlvZz09 (ID: 181 948 351 / Pass: 522008)

Join us on Friday night for an online version of SML’s 1st FridayLeather 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.

Each demo will include some time for a debrief and Q&A.  This is a great workshop for anyone curious about kink, as it’s an unusual opportunity to see many different types of play up close and personal.  It’s also valuable for more experienced kinksters who would like to see a professional demonstration.  And it’s a great opportunity to meet Max and to do a demo scene with him, of course.  This workshop assumes no previous experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.  You can bring a partner or a group of friends, but coming alone is completely comfortable and appropriate.  If you miss this workshop or want a deeper experience, Max also offers private instruction for bondage and many other BDSM techniques.  Class size is limited and preregistration is required.

This is an online event, modeled after the highly successful All The Demos event that has been running since 2014.  Max will have demo partners on-site, and you get to watch, learn, and interact remotely. Online event information will be shared with registered attendees.

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.)

Here is the link to the meeting.  Go into Gallery Mode so you can see everyone who is in the meeting.  Oh, and be sure to Start Video so we can see you, too.  Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/181948351?pwd=KzN0ZEI1YW8yNlczQm1zYXJudnlvZz09 (ID: 181 948 351 / Pass: 522008)

Join us on Thursday night for an online version of SML’s 3rd Thursday 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.

We’re hoping to be a bit more social and connection-oriented this time around, and we’ll try out some social breaks to catch up with each other and chat about things between dances.  So even if you don’t feel like dancing, drop in to say hello!  Before the dance you can check out our website, stomptown.org, and see a list of our common dances with teaching videos and step sheets on the “Instructions” page.  DJ Ra will be spinning your favorite line dances, and you can join in by video from your living room!  Join us on Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/449604231.

Come in all your favorite gear, bring your chew toys along, and munch on treats and snacks.  You can even wear the spiky collars and shoes that you can’t at our regular moshes!  We will be using Zoom, a video chat platform that allows up to 100 users to tune in at a time.  All you need is a computer or phone that allows you to tune in; if you don’t have a video camera or mic, you can still chat with folks and see what is happening on the screen.  This format also lets you create a custom username so people can see you by your pet or scene name instead of a legal name.
Notes:
1) Please wear bar-friendly gear.  Tail plugs are ok.
2) This will be a strictly 18+ event.
3) Please refrain from heavier BDSM and sexual play.  While we are all adults, not everyone is comfortable seeing that and you never know who may be tuning in on their lunch break.  Fetish gear, restraints, and light play are okay.
4) While we love squeaky toys and barks and howls, please be mindful of getting them too close to your mics.

About MAsT South Sound: We are an inclusive and integrated group and would love for you to come talk with us about the fundamentals of healthy power dynamics.  We won’t pretend to know the answers, but instead offer a starting point for discussion in the hopes that we may all reach greater personal and relationship growth.  All types, statuses, labels and identifiers welcome!  After MAsT: Sometimes the conversation is so good that we want to keep it going!  Develop deeper connections and relationships and enjoy further discussion over dinner.  Location: To be announced after meeting.

This month: Share your story!  We talk about a lot of serious stuff here but sometimes it’s good to remember that we are here because it makes us happy too!  I have several sub-topics to go through from best bruises to top rope ties. Come share your voice, time, memories and laughter with us.  And hopefully come away with some deviant and delicious ideas, too!  We look forward to this casual and fun conversation.

Lewis and Clark Trail State Campground (Dayton, WA — near Walla Walla), cost TBD

Info: https://borderriders.com/rides/2021/3/13/2021-brmc-june-run

The club was there for a weekend a couple of years ago and the riding opportunities in the area are fantastic.  Lewis and Clark Trail State Park is a 36-acre camping park with 1,333 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Touchet River.  Like an oasis in the middle of the desert, this lovely forested park on the banks of the Touchet River refreshes visitors with its unusual vegetation and geology surrounding arid grassland.  Rich in history, the park has interpretive displays with information about explorers Lewis and Clark and original area homesteaders.  The campsite has restrooms and showers.  Unlike many parts of Eastern Washington which are flat and straight, there are some interesting roads in the Palouse and Walla Walla hills.  Campsite is 5.7 miles west of Dayton and 4.4 miles east of Waitsburg on Highway 12.

We have a water bottle filling station.  We now accept contactless payments by Venmo, Paypal, Zelle ,and credit card.   We can accept cash but we cannot offer change.  If the amount is prohibitive for anyone, we have scholarships available and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.  Since there is a cap of 12 dancers, it is first come, first served but you can preregister to reserve your spot by email.  Can’t make it in person?  We still want to see your beautiful face!
