Just in time for Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re single or looking to expand your circle of rope partners, this is for you. Tops, bottoms, and switches of any gender, orientation, and skill level are welcome at this fun event in a beautiful, alluring space lit for the mood and as comfy as can be.

Get to know potential soul mates through hands-on rope games — with great prizes (no experience required). Feel like just watching? Take a seat on a couch or plush floor pillow and eye the goings-on to your heart’s content. Would a drink loosen you up (responsibly)? Grab a very reasonably priced wine or beer at the bar. And if you meet someone right away, feel free to sneak off and negotiate some play on the spot.

This will be a no-pressure, consent-oriented environment. Before the games begin, we will review the basics of negotiating a rope scene and giving and getting an enthusiastic “yes.” Unwanted touching, excessive drinking, or other inappropriate behavior will get you kicked out. 

Newbie rope bottoms: Learn the basics of getting tied up and evaluating a rope partner at the one-hour class right before, then stay for the party — save 25% on the combo price! (Class or party alone: $20; class + party: $30. Get the combo package here: https://www.purplepass.com/#21601/RopeBottoming.com-Beginning_Rope_Bottoming_+_Meet_Your_Dream_Rope_Partner-Guava-February-12-2015.html).
