These are fetish themed events at disco nightclubs where SM play is staged and play by public for both Tops and bottoms is welcomed as well. Because these are public events no nudity is allowed at any them. The rules on the amount of required coverage varies. If in doubt you should ask the nightclub's promoters. Generally the rules are about the same as on the beach. Some clubs are worse than others in regards to sound levels. It is generally wise to have both earplugs and nutrients as counter measures against damage to hearing due to sound levels when attending them. The most effective earplugs I know are the Max model type made by Howard Leight. These are commonly available in drug stores. There are also nutrients that have protective effects that should be taken no less than one hour before exposure and continuing for five days after exposure. These are the combination of vitamins A, C, E, and the mineral magnesium.

Thefts of equipment at these events happen often. Night Clubs are attended by all kinds of people, not just people active in the kink community who are generally far more trustworthy. Anything not kept on your person or closely watched over is at risk and is best kept out of sight in luggage or locked up.

Because these are nightclubs it is inevitable there will be bottoms that have had a few alcoholic drinks before play. I have come across bottoms about to have their first BDSM experience not want to play until they have had a drink or two. Recommendations on my part to have them afterwards  never were accepted by them. I have yet to see this as a problem for Tops because the vast majority of the Tops that go to these clubs to play are very experienced and know better. Alcohol and BDSM play do not mix. The bottoming experience is about feeling and enjoying sensations the Top provides. This is lessened when a bottom is numbed to it by alcohol. There is also a safety issue because it is important for a bottom to know what is being received. If a bottom appears to be under the influence by personality, wobbly walking, or breath smell, it is best to tell them to try it some other evening.

Some of these nightclubs have webpages where free or discount passes are available. These are easily printed without the rest of the webpage they are in by right clicking the image that is the pass and selecting the "Print Image" item in the pop up menu. If you are not using the MS Internet Explorer there may be a "View Image" menu item. In this case select it and the image will appear alone in a new browser window where it can be printed.

Warning: The music is LOUD. Loud enough to permanently damage hearing even with earplugs designed for such protection. In the low frequencies where the most damaging part of the spectrum is it is loud enough to feel the vibrations in the chest. The speakers are everywhere and impossible to avoid. If you have ringing in the ears (tinnitus) anytime from during attendance or several days afterward, or in increase in the volume of tinnitus you already have, this damage is happening.

A slave auction is an event where the right to a play session with a bottom is sold to the highest bidder. Although these are always called "Slave Auctions" it frequently happens that Tops get on the auction block as well and it is the bottoms that do the bidding. Any limits a bottom has as to what is done at play are respected and usually given before the auction. The currency used to bid with varies from event to event.

Mistress Cyan's Slave Auctions

Held a week or two before Thanksgiving and again a week or two before Christmas. Others may be held at other times in the year as announced. At the one before Thanksgiving the currency is a voucher the value of which is determined by food donated to charity. At the one before Christmas it is toys donated to charity. These exchanges for vouchers are done at the event just before the auction. The donations can also be made in advance by delivering to Mistress Cyan's dungeon in Reseda. When Mistress Cyan makes the deliveries to the charitable organizations she lets them know it came from the fetish community.

The value of the voucher is determined by how much has been spent on toys or food. It is best to bring the receipt for what you have spent. Vouchers can also be gotten in exchange for cash donated at the auction.

This past year, in 2009, there was also a slave auction on April 18. Everyone attendong will choose an envelope. Each envelope will contain a voucher for "auction money" to purchase a slave for the evening of play. Those who would like to acquire additional "auction money" will be able to do so at a rate of 10 auction dollars for every real dollar). We will also be able to process credit cards as well. Whether this will be a yearly event in April is unknown by me at this time.

The auctions are usually held at Dragon's Gate Studios in Placentia. When they are the location is given to those who RSVP. To RSVP email: Jeidom AT aol DOT com. (714) 270-9403. There is a limit if about 85 people there.

Auction dates for 2009 are Saturday November 21 and Saturday December 12. Both are from 7:30PM to 1:30AM and will be held at Dragon's Gate Studios. The RSVP deadline for the auction on Nov 21th is Thursday Nov 19th and for the one on Dec 12th it is Thursday Dec 10th. Do not wait until those days to RSVP. It will likely be too late. Admission price is $20.

Buccaneer's Day in Two Harbors, Catalina Island

Officially the first Saturday in October. The partying in costume starts the Friday evening before.

This is a day when yachtsmen and all others that can make it there by ferry dress and party as pirates.

There is a live band and later a DJ at the outdoor dance floor at the Harbor Reef Restaurant. Be sure to get your passport on arrival or the children might put you in the Hoosegow.

There are two restaurants in Two Harbors. There is the "Snack Bar" open most of the day. This is a cafeteria that also grills items to order. The other is the "Harbor Reef Restaurant." This is fine dining and opens in the late afternoon. The Harbor Reef Restaurant books up quickly for Buccaneer's Day. It is best to reserve by phone two days in advance of your arrival. If you have not phoned in advance, reservations can also be done in the Snack Bar before the Harbor Reef Restaurant opens and should be done there as soon as you arrive.

The campsites and the one hotel at Two Harbors book up one year prior to this event. Booking is best done on the day of the event for the next year in person at the Two Harbors office. My experience has been that the Monday after the event is already too late. For those who have arrived without reservations sometimes there are cancellations or no shows for the campsites. Otherwise there is overflow camping in Buffalo Park. This is a playground behind the Harbor Reef Restaurant. None of these last two possibilities are to be counted on so if you are going there without reservations it is best to have a precautionary return ticket on the ferry that evening. The Catalina Express has a special late ferry for this event and they allow ticket changes for $5.

The demand for overflow camping in Buffalo Park for this event has increased dramatically in the past several years. In 2007 there were just three tents there. In 2009 there were about 200. It has become like a tent city, and unfortunately, with this growth has come big city crime. The Two Harbors management was expecting this and beefed up the presence of the Sheriff's Department and police. In spite of this there were thefts of camping equipment, especially sleeping bags. Luggage left in or outside tents was riffled through and items such as cameras stolen. In the case of the sleeping bags the thief was caught when the victims recognized their gear when tents were being taken down Sunday morning. At about 3 AM there was a disturbance caused by people at a tent that caused the sheriff to send them home at that hour of the night via the sheriff's boat.

Normally it is possible to rent tents and sleeping bags from the Two Harbors Rangers. In 2009 there was a decision by Two Harbors management not to rent anything on Buccaneer's Day. It is now necessary to bring your own camping gear to this event.

It used to be that Buccaneer's Day was mostly attended by well mannered and wealthy yachtsmen. This has changed. In 2009 a waitress was mugged for her tips by four women in gothic attire while she was on her way home after the bar closed at 1:30 AM. They were arrested. Sunday afternoon a woman went berserk in the bar and threw her food all over the place. She was kicked out. After that she and another woman assaulted a women who was asleep in the grass while waiting for her ferry. She was straight punched to the face. This was a random act, the assailants did not know their victim. The two assailants were quickly pulled away by a group of onlookers. The assailants were banned from the ferry and required to wait for the sheriffs to arrive who were elsewhere on the island at the time.

Most of Catalina Island is privately owned by the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy. They maintain a blacklist of people who have been trouble makers. Anyone on this blacklist is banned from the island and cannot buy a ferry ticket in their name. There are many who were added to this list on Buccaneer's Day in 2009.
