Today! Folsom Street Fair and a call for YOUR support of kink education


Hi everyone!

If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area today, I hope we will see you for Folsom Street Fair. This unique outdoor celebration of all things kink has a bit of everything: educational groups, opportunities to try hands-on play with demo tops, top-notch bondage performances, tons of kinky vendors, and much more!

You can find us at the Wicked Grounds booth (#77) between 10th and 11th on Folsom Street.

We will mostly be out to talk about classes, coaching, and intensives. We'll also be selling new gear from Rough Cut Leather, and offering deeply discounted books and gear from our old cafe stock. Proceeds from our books and gear will go to benefit the Wicked Grounds scholarship fund.

Why contribute to the fund? You could call it altruism, but it's not just that. When you help other kinksters get their start (or continue their journey), you help to create kink spaces that are more fun and more safe for everyone. Helping people get quality education is an investment in creating the world we all want to live in.

(Can't be at the fair and want to contribute? Please, please, please do! You may contribute via Venmo, PayPal, or Patreon -- just note that your contribution is for the scholarship fund.)

If you're not at the fair today, maybe take some time to peruse our class listings and think about what you'd like to do next on your own kink journey. There's no need to have FOMO, when there are So Many Classes and adventures to take.

However you spend today, I hope it's glorious.

xoxo
