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!

Rain City Jacks is where guys masturbate together in Seattle. We are a private club for men, 18 years of age and older, who want to jack off openly and safely in a uniquely sex-positive, non-discriminating and mutually respectful community. No penetration of any kind is allowed. The fundamentals are “no lips below the hips” and “nothing goes inside anybody’s anything.” Membership is required to attend any RCJ event and enrollment is available at the door for every regular club gathering. (First-timers are allowed in early and must arrive between 6:45 and 7:45 to sign up and receive new member orientation before joining the event in progress. Make sure you bring your photo ID and cash. A 30-day trial membership is available for first-timers.) Rain City Jacks provides the time, place and everything a man needs to fully enjoy masturbation with a group of genuine, like-minded men. You should come.
Theme: Underwear Bate! You know all those underwear parties you see happening in gay bars everywhere these days? Maybe you’ve been to one or a few. They’re incredibly fun but something is missing… PENIS! Come to Rain City Jacks for this special theme night. Wear your favorite underwear (briefs, boxers, long johns, jock straps, hell you can even wear your mate’s panties if that’s your jam) and feel the freedom to expose your penis, stroke it up and spray cum all over yourself, your buddies and your gear. Keep your underwear on and win a free pass to your next RCJ event! At precisely 8:45 pm, 15 minutes after check-in stops and everyone is in the space, all attendees who are still wearing underwear will be automatically entered in a free drawing for one of three free event passes to be awarded at the event, on the spot. (Note: This event has been nudged 30 minutes later than our normal time in order to avoid conflict with local sports events. To make the most of this event, do not arrive early! Free street parking will be available if you can wait until we open the doors at 7:15.)

Whip Group
The Wise (1882 Adanac St., Canada Vancouver, BC), 6:45–8:45 pm / By donation
Come join us for a fun couple of hours cracking whips. Newbie or well practiced, curious or have an extensive whip collection, all are welcome to participate and socialize. It’s an opportunity to connect with others who share your interest in whips. This is a skill share activity. There is no predetermined technical instruction set up for each practice. On occasion, a mini-workshop is offered by an experienced whip enthusiast to highlight something they find interesting and wish to share. For those that are new or nearly new to whips, and do not own a whip, there is often an extra whip or two that can be borrowed. Where other participants in attendance are willing, you may get to experience throwing their whips if you ask nicely (depending upon their preference to share or not). Some of us are quite partial to our whips, ya know!
Bring your juice or caffeinated beverages as you will get thirsty during practice. Water is provided as well a plastic cups but you may want to provide your own container. It is requested that alcoholic beverages be left at home. MVK, which sponsors this event, the venue (Wise Hall) and/or the host(ess) assume no responsibility for any injuries incurred while attending the practice. It is entirely at the attendees’ risk. Note: we will be practicing on balloons, pom poms, and/or stuffies during practice, not people. Practice bottoms are not required for this event. In keeping with MVK’s mandate of accessibility, this skill share is by donation. The majority of MVK’s monthly education runs at a loss overall, the shortfall of which is covered by our annual fundraiser, Westcoast Bound. If you can donate, we ask that you do. If you cannot, lack of finances is not a barrier to participation.
