$30 online or $40 at the door.

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.

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.

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.

In the year 2009, there was also a slave auction on April 18. Everyone attending chose an envelope. Each envelope contained a voucher for "auction money" to purchase a slave for the evening of play. Those who wanted to acquire additional "auction money" were be able to do so at a rate of 10 auction dollars for every real dollar). Whether this will be a yearly event in April is unknown by me at this time.

In the past the auctions were usually held at Dragon's Gate Studios in Placentia. Now they are held at Sanctuary LAX in Lennox.

The slave auctions are announced at her Yahoo Group and the Sanctuary LAX Website's Events Page.

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.

To attend this event there is a need for luggage locks on all luggage and zippers on tent doors. Without these it is certainty thieves will get into both.

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.

Sampler

Held once yearly in mid to late October in a resort in Palm Springs. An entire resort is taken over for this weekend event.

The Sampler offers each participant two one hour private one on one workshops in the presenters room in the resort. If you bring your own submissive the two of you are entitled to a total of four. The emphasis here is in learning by doing so it is best to bring a submissive to the workshop. If you do not own your own a volunteer male submissive is usually available (female volunteers will not be likely.) In addition to these one on one workshops there are group workshops as well.

The Sampler is also a dungeon party on the common grounds of the resort that starts in the early morning and lasts until the late evening. Dungeon furniture is set up on the common grounds of the resort. When not used in workshops they are available to the Sampler attendees.

Usually every room in the resort is assigned to a presenter and the attendees stay in hotels nearby. In some years there are rooms for attendees at the resort where it is held as well.

The Sampler is an OCLA event. Information about it is available at their website and also their Yahoo Group.

The Sampler isn't held every year. During those years there isn't one the "Taster" is the subsitute event.
