Other Community Events to Enjoy!
The CSPC throws amazing parties and hosts many important discussions on various topics. But luckily, we live in a place where there are many more options to dive into sex- and body-positive culture. The list below is just a sampling of some great events coming up in the next month.
We include non-CSPC events in every issue. If you have an event suggestion or feedback from a past event you’ve attended, please email Marissa at newsletter@thecspc.org and it might make it into our next issue!
Editor’s note for all events*
As a reminder, these are non-CSPC events. We include them as a way to open your mind to other experiences, but we have no control over them, their content, or their missions. We encourage you to vet other organizations to see if they are places you would feel comfortable, and we appreciate feedback if we have listed an organization/event that does not appear to share CSPC values.

SEA-PAH | Best in Show! (free | in person)
Best In Show returns! Our dog show style fundraising event is back on Saturday, November 22nd at The Lumber Yard! Pups and Handlers compete in a series of challenges in front of a panel of esteemed judges. But the audience can “bribe” (donate money) to change the score of their favorite contestants.

December 1
Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center | World AIDS Day Fundraiser (free | in person)
Join us on Monday, December 1 for the 22nd Annual Stronger Together: World AIDS Day Event at Centilia Cultural Center. Gather in community and remembrance of those lost to AIDS-related complications while celebrating how far we have come and looking to a future that's stronger than HIV.
December 6
Pan Eros | More Holes in Friends, Uping the Intensity: Stacking, twisting, and tying off needles ($30+ | in person)
During this class we will learn specific intermediate needle techniques through some lecture and hands-on practice. Students need to have a basic understanding of piercing and blood-safety precautions, these will not be covered in this class. Experience piercing in a shallow and a deep manner will be a helpful skill to have prior to taking this class. We will cover stacking needles and making “buttons,” tying and corseting needles, and making needles more intense during penetration, while under the skin, and during removal.
December 9–11
The Beacon Cinema | Bye Bye Love ($15 | in person)
Lost and nihilistic drifter Utamaro chances upon Giko, a female-presenting shoplifter who immediately catches his eye. One thing leads to another and the couple soon find themselves on the lam for murder. This provides for a delightful pretext to explore notions of societal malaise, free love and gender fluidity in a rapidly evolving 1970s Japan, as both Utamaro and Giko begin to know each other on the road by way of a variety of encounters, alternating between surrealistic, psychedelic and sexual.
December 11
Theatre Off Jackson | Revelry!: A Night Of Drag And Other Shenanigans ($35+ | in person)
Help us ring (and sing!) in the holidays with a one night only variety show featuring drag, music, dance and campy surprises. Have your picture taken with a not-so-nice Santa and participate in some of our opt-in games. Cash bar and concessions will be available throughout the night. This event is come-as-you-are casual, but festive attire is highly encouraged! All proceeds benefit Lambert House LGBTQ+ Youth Center in Seattle.
December 14
EnFemme: A Sissy Sioree ($35+ | in person)
Come one, come all to the pinkest and frilliest party of the year! Come celebrate all things sissy with us! From the folx who brought you Diapers and Drinks, YML, Dom(me)icile, and The Clubhouse, we have a new event up and coming. En Femme: A Sissy Soiree is a celebration of all things feminine, frilly, soft, poofy, and joyous! This is a social mixer with light BDSM play allowed. Think light spankings for the naughty and service for the maids. Admirers might be able to find a special sissy to coo over as well!
