SELF's  Parties and Meet Ups

Come one, come all! Little, big, and small! Want to hear a story? No, not a "Goodnight Moon" type of story. Do you want to hear a scary story? Something about things going bump in the night? Join Sir Horror as he reads scary stories and maybe even dresses up in a creepy costume. This event is open to anyone that might want to listen to scary stories and be a little scared.

Come join The Junction for a whipping, spanking good time as the make their debut at SELF! Get your kink on with good tunes and all the equipment you could imagine. Play Dungeon Pong or have a hot scene! It is a contest to shoot ping pong balls at masochist . The bottom will stand in the receiving area while tops compete by hitting ping pong balls at them until the designated target appendage is struck or the bottom reds out. Two or more people can play at the same time. Each top is given a basket of balls and a ping pong paddle. The distance between the top and bottom is negligible.

 This will be the first annual Cigar Social in Memorial of Jackie Harris, a.k.a.Bebe blue eyes, a lady who spent most of her life in the lifestyle, to include working for NCSF, where she worked the last five or 10 years, to keep us informed and protected in the world that we enjoy. She was a friend to all of us, a partner to a few of us and a great human being. Everyone will be welcome whether you were her friend, her partner, or just somebody that enjoyed a cigar with her.
