Friday, Sept 8, 2006 from 7:00 to 9:30 PM: screwup:
BDSM for trannies, genderqueers and their friends, presents... Silly Perversions:
Wacky scenes and other ways to incorporate humor in your kink.
Laughter is something that is not heard very often in dungeons and play spaces. There are some kinksters for whom a good case of the sillies has made their most memorable scenes. Age play, sploshing and clown scenes are but three of the many aspects of play where humor can be used to great effect.
Please join us for an evening of discussion, exploration and idea sharing about how to bring humor into your kink-o-sphere. Participants are encouraged to bring memories of and ideas for silly scenes, pictures of past silly scenes (if you have consent of all people in the photos to share them with the group and you were one of the participants), and small props for idea sharing.
This discussion will be moderated by Phoebe. Phoebe enjoys instigating laughter with her play. She will be bringing stories from past scenes and some pictures to share.
screwup is for trannies, genderqueers, and our friends. This event is open to all genders and will be held in Room 22 at the New College of California. Folks sometimes go out for coffee or food afterwards, so come prepared...
$0-5 donation will be accepted to cover the cost of supplies and flyers. No one turned away. The New College of California is wheelchair accessible and has gender-neutral bathrooms!
Please contact screwup [at] screwup.info if you'd like us to arrange for an ASL interpreter, to get involved, make suggestions or with any other requests.
New College of California in San Francisco, Room 22 (2nd Floor), 766 Valencia Street (near 18th Street), San Francisco.

Nude-for-peace protesters may be displaying peace signs, and/or an Earth flag,
and passing out leaflets which say (in part):
" OUR BODIES SPEAK FOR US: Beyond mere words, our nakist bodies signify our ideals of human liberation. They represent the genome of the human species, surprisingly similar on every continent.
Our semantic nakity conveys messages of hope, and of danger. Our bodies speak for our souls.
Our anti-costume calls for freedom now. Our public nakity, open to sun and fog and wind, calls for understanding that our Mother Earth is mortal, and that we must come swiftly to her rescue.... "
