Howdy kinksters - I hope our kinkster friends in the US are enjoying a nice long weekend. I was delighted to spend Wednesday evening with some of you at SpankLab, and I've spent much of the time since exploring a small beach along the Mendocino coast. I'll be back in San Francisco this weekend for our first Saturday classes, and I hope I'll see some of you there! July is the soft launch of San Francisco's Leather Pride Season, culminating with the Folsom Street Fair at the end of September. This month, we are running a special at both WickedGrounds.com (for class passes, rope, gear, and books) and WickedGroundsAnnex.com (for coaching, multi-week courses, and digital downloads). Use code onlinepride24 at either site to get 20% off anything we sell. Start exploring our online and in-person offerings this week, starting with the list below! Events Roundup!
