Howdy kinksters - Leather season is upon us! The last Sunday of the month is Up Your Alley in San Francisco, and many of San Francisco's Leatherati will be out on the SOMA streets making it happen. We won't personally have a booth this year, but several of our favorite vendors will be there. If you're looking for two of them right in one place, you can find the Rough Cut Leather pop-up booth right with our friends at ByrdBeaks. If you're looking for Rough Cut Leather and other Wicked Grounds gear, you can also find us vending at the AfterSHOCK party next Friday night to kick off Up Your Alley weekend.

We have some classes this weekend that you can easily attend without staying up into the wee hours! Join us online at 2pm Pacific for Determining Your Risk Profile Workshop with renowned kink educator vahavta. In this workshop, we will use a framework based on how we want to leave our kink scenes to determine what our priorities should be, as well as discuss how we make sure our partners have thought about the same. Get your tickets on Forbidden Tickets or Plura. Sunday, July 21Join us online at 2pm Pacific for The Littlest Sub: Balancing Multiple Dynamics with HypnoStory and PandaPet. Daddy/little, Master/pet, Master/oblate, nesting partners, household management…these are all aspects of HypnoStory and panda’s relationship that coexist on a daily basis. Join them as they discuss their relationship journey and exploration of balancing their multiple facets in ways that fill both their cups. Then, they’ll share tools and techniques for developing and deepening your own combination of dynamics. Get your tickets on Forbidden Tickets or Plura.
