Greetings and hello, folks–Teeebone here! As the CSPC moves into its next chapter, come gather around and let the Bone Man give you the scoop on what things were like back in the day. Mind you, there are many chapters to this story, so let’s start with the basics: Once upon a time, in January 2008, a new party debuted at the CSPC and it was called the Hump.

The Hump was a laid back, sex-focused party held on Wednesday nights on the weekly at the CSPC (Hump Day, get it?). It had a free two-hour social that was open to the public followed by the four-hour party for members and their guests only till midnight. Originally conceived as a dance party, the Hump evolved into a couples and moresomes party geared towards consensual non-monogamy and open to all sexual orientations and genders.

It was the kind of event where you could just show up after work or dinner and hang out or hook up or whatever. You didn't have to have sex if you didn't want to. There was no pressure to "score." The staff did everything they could to make the Hump a safe space to play. For many new members, the Hump was the first CSPC event that they attended after orientation. And if you arrived before 8 p.m., you could take advantage of $5 off admission during “Ecstasy Hours”!

The Hump was the proverbial comfy chair for almost everybody. As an attendee, you could chat in the social area, dance on the main space dance floor, have fun in the cuddle/romp pile, watch porn in the solo space, or have sexytimes in the back room. Some BDSM activity was allowed, such as suspensions, rope bondage, sensation play, and birthday spankings, and on the 1st Wednesdays of the month, there was also the Whump at the Hump, held in the RAW Dungeon next door that allowed full-on BDSM play.

The Hump ran for more than eight and a half years and became a classic CSPC event, ultimately being among the last parties held during the final week of operations before the closing of the CSPC’s original site at Interbay.

What made the Hump so special? The fabulous humans who poured their hearts (and sweat!) into building an event that served up what the community wanted and needed. Want to be part of the team that helps create the Next Big Thing at the CSPC? Learn more about volunteering here!
