Have you ever wondered what the weekly event schedules were like back in the day when the CSPC was at Interbay? I dug up three examples to give you an idea of the length and breadth as well as the sheer enormity of just how much the Center had to offer. I often look back and wonder (as long-term volunteer) how I managed to survive such a crazy, busy time in my life. :3
First, here’s a weekly schedule from 2004. I had been a member for little over a year and the Center was often referred to as the “Wet Spot,” though back then its official name was the Sex Positive Community Center or SPCC. It consisted of only the Main Space in those days, and on-site parties/events typically happened 3-4 times a week.

And finally, we have a schedule from 2015. At this point, the CSPC had acquired the Raw Space, which greatly expanded the play space for events held in either the Main Space or the Annex. Also of note is that the Grind had switched from a weekly to a monthly party in the schedule, which allowed a bunch of other new events/parties to step into the available Thursday night slots.
