Wed 4/30-The Way of It: Establishing and Maintaining Protocol Within Relationships Admission: $20 Doors: 7:30pm Class: 8:00pm -- 10:00pm "What's the number one reason given for dissatisfaction in an ongoing formal SM relationship?" asks Laura. " Lack of consistency from the top. What's one tool in a top's mental toy bag to keep this from happening? Establishing and maintaining a protocol of behavior." In her humorous, but deeply insightful discussion, Laura gives an introduction and personal views on issues of etiquette, protocol, and their place within personal relationships and our community. Laura is best known these days for her "Marketplace" series of novels, but back in the beginning, when pickings for good and readable porn was slim, Laura created the groundbreaking "Leatherwomen" anthologies, and edited several others. Some of the work she created for those anthologies are reprinted in The Catalyst and Other Tales. Laura's work has been published in the United States, Germany, Japan, and Korea, to international acclaim. Her short stories and non-fiction essays also appear in other anthologies. Laura will be bringing books to sign. Fri 5/4- Themed Open Play Party! "Pimps Up, Ho's Down!": SF Citadel has been known for innovative themes with many Open Play Parties over the years...& this night is no exception! Join us as we add a little extra "raciness" to the night. Although costume attire is not mandatory, we encourage you to "dress as you dare" for the evening--extra sexy, extra provocative, extra alluring---but your best fetish attire is more than sufficient! Prizes will be awarded for the best male & female themed costumes of the night! DJ Mystic Moods, "The Most Dangerous DJ", will be spinning flashback '70s funk & R&B as well as today's dark, dungeon sounds, & delicious snacks will be provided. As always, safer sex & dungeon furniture cleaning supplies are supplied...you simply provide the energy & the fun times! DISCLAIMER: Due to the sensitive nature of the theme, SF Citadel & Master Erik release this disclaimer: *This is only a costume-themed event, & in no way, shape, or form encourages the glorification of the negative aspects of the "sex-for-money" industry. For guests who do come in themed costume, SF Citadel & Master Erik sincerely request that you please respect the people, & images of those that you're imitating, as well as those who chose to attend, but for various reasons chose not to dress in costume.* Admission: $25 Membership required and always available at the door for just $10 8PM-1AM To volunteer (for free admission!) please e-mail sfcitadelvolunteers@gmail.com Sat 5/3- Tops Are From Gor; Bottoms Are From Roissy Admission:$30.00 Doors: 1:30pm class 2:00pm -- 5:00pm We frequently draw our relationship models from fictional universes, forgetting that those universes don't always work the same way. What happens when concepts like "master," "slave," and "service" are filtered through the Marketplace, Gor, Roissy, or other fictional universes? Laura will help separate fantasy from reality, discuss effective communication of roles, and explore how to borrow from fiction honestly while we craft our relationship styles. There's good stuff in our fiction as well as bad - be prepared to laugh at the unrealistic expectations, smile at fond memories of our dearest inspirations, and grimace at how we can turn something we did as a lark for a few years into a colossal waste of time.
