It is looking amazing--all of the incredible people who have been giving of their time and energy are making a beautiful space. This week we received several donations for prizes to raffle at the Volunteer Party. Blowfish.com has donated over $250 in toys Jildos.com has donated a $149 hand crafted beautiful wood dildo. We also have a plug and movie night option. A butt plug and two movie passes...plug your favorite sub and take them to the movies...or plug yourself and treat a friend to a movie of their choice. And we will have two packed out toy belts. If you haven't had a chance to put anytime in yet, make a plan to come down and help in the next couple of weeks, and if you have already put in sometime, it would be greatly appreciated if you could find a little more to give. We look forward to seeing you. Hours for the Week of August 11 - 15, 2008 Monday, August 11, 2008 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm Tuesday, August 12, 2008 10:00 am - 6:00 pm Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursday, August 14, 2008 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm Friday, August 15, 2008 11:00 am - 6:00 pm Note from Ali: So I've been away from my computer for nearly 5 days: I think that's a record. Wake up, work, eat, crash has been the cycle. But guess what!? We are starting to come out of the building phase and into the setup phase!! EXCITING. This week we had super yummy food--Erin, I NEED that salad recipe--and Nikki NEEDS that quiche recipe as well! Oh and our pizza rescuer, Alison, Mmmmm. Brownies and homemade cookies from Jonathon yesterday kept us going. I'm sure I'm forgetting something..likely something obvious too--sorry my head is so fried. We knocked out a HUGE amount of work this week and are nearly ready to bring the lift back for putting up suspension points, wiring in insulation, putting up wiring in the Vic room, and more. We need those in the know with the bondage, and those willing to take on heights! We will plan to have the lift on Tuesday and start with the smaller stuff and get to the suspension points later in the week. We are in need of strong chain by the way: if there's a chain god/dess out there anywhere :-) Everyone keeps asking the question: so has the place been cristioned yet? Yes, via orgasm, play and hey...does anyone know if someone has actually fucked in the space yet? ? And well, the dancing that ensues is great as well. If you've been by recently you have most likely seen us dancing to the tunes and lamenting the loss of a stable point above for the stripper pole. We could really using some help if someone wants to take on creating either a base for the pole, or helping us find and putting in the pole in a stable place at the space. Perhaps a concrete base can be put under the stage, a hole drilled through and it connect?? I don't know. But we miss dancing and stripping on it!! We cleared out the last big room and starting its painting--looking forward to putting in the trim and such. Have you all seen the 'Slammer'?? Stop by and try it out!! Shove someone or get shoved into it. we've got lots and lots and LOTS of little things at this point. Shuffling things about, hanging stuff, light painting, and tons of cleaning needed to start taking the dust out! Looking forward to another week. And some fun Monday night (from 7:00 pm - 9:00) with the first Women's Play Lab "Head and Face play". Come by and see the new space, play, learn and share. I could use the smiles and company! Hugs to you all. And no, bringing food and smiles and stopping by to say hi is NOT any less than getting your hands dirty. It's more than sitting behind your computer wandering 'what going on down there' and for that, I keep going! (I'm told "That's a fine line, little miss" but it's my heart and this is a community work of love--and community is 'giving for giving sake alone' my Papa Bear says--so I'll share my heart on my sleeve, instead of hiding) We do this together and I'm literally thrilled when I see someone walk in and offer to help: whether I've seen them once or a ton! Hugs!! Mon, 11 Aug 2008 06:41:16 GMT http://BayAreaBDSMPolyamory.tribe.net/thread/df30f389-1c80-4b10-9805-ae6017d87d0d#f212d488-1649-464f-80ba-1b83f726f51e Tarabeth 2008-08-11T06:41:16Z
