Low Sensory Leather Social
Saturday May 17th
LOW SENSORY LEATHER SOCIAL Want to get back to Leather & alternative community social time without the late hours and loud environments? We're seeking a back-to basic earlier, low-volume social, open to the entire Kink and Leather communities, so you can get out early and meet new and old friends. Low Sensory Leather Social (LSLS) is an opportunity for those in the leather, BDSM, and alternative communities to have a low-key, relaxing social held earlier in the day, conversation-enabling, with sober-aware drink options. LSLS may occur just before later, louder events, allowing you to come earlier and decide how long to stay. This event welcomes the entire kink and leather communities, other organizations, including all sexualities, gender expressions and kink/fetish interests, that want to chat and explore. Gather in any attire, vanilla, casual leather, and gear of any kind (bar legal) to experience and learn more about leather and kink. What to expect? Each night may be different as we develop our style. We will have informal conversations. An event board with sicky notes will be available for you to write down and display other events you know about in the community. Announcements may be made about coming events. Name tags will be available for optional use if you’d like to help others remember your name. Some events may include a short speaker session. Event Features (check back as we update this) Free raffle for leather item of your choice. Kink & Leather History, Trivia, Humor videos playing on big screens. Optional LSLS nametags We are working on one or two flash-talks (15 min or less). List or announce your event for others to see on sticky notes. Kinky Mocktails (no alcohol) available Chat with others, old friends and new! Bootblack: Boy Christian Vendors: TBD Cigar Time on the patio - organize your own Cigar time with others.
