$5 -- you receive a $5 off coupon for the following pan party

Don't miss this unique fundraiser for Evergreen Leather Events, producers of Leather Reign. This money will be used to help defray the cost of the conference this year, and will also help cover the costs of bringing a traveling exhibit from the Leather Archives and Museum to Leather Reign in November.

For fun and fundraising, pies will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and that bidder will be able to cream one of our willing targets.  10 + pies are available for bidding.  We are still working on our list of "targets" -- look for some well-known personalities around the Center.  We will have board members, one of the producers of Leather Reign, and more.

Positions to help clean up the targets will be raffled off.  How you help will be negotiable between you and the target. The pies will be auctioned starting at 8:30, the person or group with the winning bid will be able to throw the pie. 

Note: targets may bid against the bidder(s), so get together with your friends to make it worth their while to get creamed.

After Getting Creamed -- Join us after the throw for the Pansexual Play Party: Hot Leather on a Summer Night, and receive $5 off your admission (with coupon).


Special events in August....

Max's Bondage Workshop Series: Mean Rope

Rope skills for sadists and masochists

Sunday, August 1
2:30 PM to 5:30 PM
Main Space
$35 (and $5 discount for Bondage is the Point)

Many of us like rope bondage because it's pretty, sensual and intimate. Tops often like demonstrating their technical skills and bottoms often enjoy the firm, snug caress of the rope. And some of us like being mean with our bondage - or like being tied up in mean ways.

Come learn more about using rope to produce powerful scenes and intense sensation. We'll cover motivation, technique, safety and some style elements which complement this type of play. Most of our time will be spent on demonstrations and discussion but there will be a few opportunities for hands-on practice.

Please bring two 30' lengths of 6mm or 8mm rope and a few 15' lengths of 4mm if you can. If you don't have suitable rope, Monk (www.TwistedMonk.com) will be selling rope before the workshop. Please show up 15 minutes early if you would like to buy rope.

This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels and all genders / orientations. The emphasis is on learning and having fun.

Zenith Workshop ~ Fireplay
Come on baby, light my fire.

Tuesday, August 3
7:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Main Space
$10

Fire play brings out the primal urges in all of us. For some, it's playing with the flames and making them do what you want them to do. For others, it's about conquering deep-held fears. Either way, fire play and massage is a fascinating and romantic form of sensation play.  Brittany and Kevin will be showing you the basics of fire play, including wand creation, safety precautions, and making your bottom feel comfortable. Pre-made wands will be available for sale, $15 a pair.

View the event listing for more information.

Playwright and performer Cameryn Moore presents...

Phone Whore: a one-act play with frequent interruptions

Sunday, August 29
Show is at 8:00 PM
Little Red Studio
$12/adv., $15/door -- play only
$20/adv., $25/door -- play and reception package

A gripping, slice-of-life comedy/drama, Phone Whore invites audiences in for an unflinching look at taboo, fantasy, and the place of 'deviant' desires in society today. Playwright and performer Cameryn Moore wrote the play during downtime between calls, and drew extensively on her work experiences at a no--aboo company to flesh out both the absurdities and difficult truths that pervade the world of phone sex. Truth and taboo collide in this intimate, one-hour visit with a phone sex operator. Listen closely: she may change your views on sex forever.

Seattle is the second US stop on the 17-city tour of Phone Whore this summer and fall. Phone Whore is running in Seattle for one night only! The adjoining Little Red Bistro is offering a special pre-show dinner menu to people purchasing tickets to Phone Whore. There will also be a post-show reception and dance following the
performance.

Tickets are $12/adv., $15/door for the play only, or $20/adv. and $25/door for the play and reception package. Get advance tickets and www.camerynmoore.com.
