Ticket Cap Reminder

With cold and flu season rapidly approaching (if it isn’t already here), we want to remind you that in the months of December, January, and February we will be capping parties at 100 tickets. This is especially important for the parties that sell out consistently — looking at you, Fresh Meet and LaQueer — and will also mean that parties that don’t usually sell out might do so in these months! We encourage you to grab tickets early if you want to attend parties, and take advantage of the Ticket Transfers channel in the Discord server if you are looking for last-minute tickets or want to offload tickets you bought. 

Another great way to get into parties is to become a volunteer and sign up for events! You can find more about how to get started as a volunteer on our website. Please note that the volunteer approval process is not instantaneous, so get started soon so you’ll be ready to go when your favorite party hits the calendar. You have to have an active membership in order to volunteer, so make sure you’re up to date before you submit your volunteer application. 

Lastly, thank y’all so much for continuing to stay home when you’re not feeling well. It’s a huge bummer to miss a party, but we see everyone taking the necessary steps to protect yourselves and each other, and the community is a lot better for it. 

Stay safe and stay sexy, even in the depths of cold and flu season! 

Event Arrivals and Departures

Arrival Reminder

When attending an event with a New Member Orientation (NMO), please be aware of your impact. If you arrive while the NMO is still in progress, keep noise levels to a minimum. Talk only as loud as necessary to complete registration. 

Once you move from the registration area to the main area, please wait quietly for the NMO to end. Save conversation for when the event has started or take it outside the building. 

If the downstairs is open, you may proceed there to socialize, put your items in lockers, or use the restrooms. Please be aware that play is not permitted before the event start time and that early admittance to the downstairs is not always possible due to the demands of setup. 

Members are welcome to attend NMO with a regular member ticket, just let the registration volunteer know that you are a member so they can look for your name on the correct registration list.

End of Event Reminder

All play should wrap up at least 15 minutes prior to the end of the event. Attendees should be ready to exit the building by the event’s listed end time.

The only people remaining in the building after the listed end time should be volunteers involved in strike, trash removal, or with Event Coordinator permission, such as attendees waiting in the reception area for their transportation to arrive or to provide transportation for a volunteer. 

This is not a new rule, rather it is a return to enforcing our already existing policy. Thank you for your understanding.

Additional Changes for New Member Orientation offerings

We have made some new adjustments to when we offer New Member Orientation based on community feedback, volunteer availability, and event host suggestions. 

Back in April, both Power Play Mixed-Tape and The Grind events ceased to include a New Member Orientation (NMO). These parties now begin one hour earlier and end one hour earlier. 

NEW! We have added Myself! to the list of no-NMO parties. Check the Event Listing for more info!

We are hosting our first in-person New Member Orientation and social hour at the Gallery on June 4th, 2025. If you’re interested in becoming a member and the idea of attending a full party feels like a lot, we encourage you to check out this new NMO format as a gentler introduction to the CSPC and our community.

If you are interested in becoming a NMO leader, please email volunteerliaison@thecspc.org to get more information!

PPMT Update!

Come join PPMT on July 13 for a little pre-Frolic fun! Model your Frolic outfits! Put up a tent for people to voyeur you in! Try out items that could be used as pervertables and get ideas from everyone! Play hard, play lighter, no matter what, and get consent to take it higher!

Check out our party on the CSPC Event schedule

Note: August PPMT is canceled. Why? Because we will be kinkin’ it up in the woods at The Frolic 2024! 

GRIND REBOOT IS COMING IN JULY!

by Teeebone

This year, the CSPC is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and part of that celebration will include bringing back some classic parties from the past! On Thursday July 25th, the CSPC will present Grind Reboot as a throwback party! An homage to Grind, which was a weekly club favorite during the Interbay days, this is the CSPC’s first weekday event held as a one-off to see how things go!

What will this party be like? What it says on the can: A Reboot of Grind, which turns our dungeon into a nightclub with music by professional DJs and lots of space to play. If you miss the classic Grind party, like it dark and loud, or want to dance and play in the same space, this event has it all! BDSM and sex are encouraged. Come celebrate our 25th Anniversary with this blast from the past! 

There is no dress code enforced, but we encourage you to please dress for a night out. Fetishwear is welcome. If you would like to know more about how Grind was, check out my article on the subject HERE!

April (Non)Event Reminder

Hi sexy CSPC members!

As a reminder, every April the event listings can look a bit…empty toward the end of the month. This is because our wonderful sister organization, the Pan Eros Foundation, hosts the Seattle Erotic Art Festival, a three-day event that celebrates the freedom of expression and sex positivity through various forms of art, including painting, photography, sculpture, film, literature, performance, and more! We highly encourage you to spend the last weekend of April at SEAF, and soak in the sexy, kinky, artsy atmosphere. 

P.S. See also our alert for SEAF volunteers!

Sense and Sensuality [in-person] - Masking Requirements

Starting in April 2024, Sense and Sensuality will be requiring masking during their quarterly events for all attendees, including volunteers.

Wearing an N95/KN95 or equivalent mask will be required at the party at all times other than when actively eating/drinking, or when engaged in a scene. If you leave the scene you're in temporarily (e.g. to take a restroom break), please mask up first.

SaS and Femmes on Top are currently the only two in-person CSPC events that require masking. All other events are masking optional. 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the SaS event, you can contact the event champions at sas@thecspc.org.
