Upcoming Events


-=-=-=-=- MEN'S-ONLY BEAT AND GREET THIS FRIDAY

The Men's-Only Beat and Greet is coming up this Friday. Since these are held only on the FIFTH Friday of each month, there are only a handful of them per year, as opposed to the pansexual events on the third Friday of each month. We've recently started a new tradition that seems to work well... If you would like to ride-share to the play-space (parking is awful downtown), meet me at the entrance to the DMV in Hillcrest by 8:30Pm SHARP. Newbies are particularly welcome, since there are ample teaching/learning opportunities, taught by some truly great guys like Bryan, Mike, Joshua and Jerry.  

I ALWAYS teach at these events - I call it "stocking the fish pond", because if many men become comfortable playing together in our community, it creates more opportunities for brotherhood. Nobody wants to be inexpert or awkward, but in our broken-apart Internet age, we tend to stay stuck at one level. This is because we don't often offer each other assistance and one-on-one mentoring, outside of occasions like this one. Don't miss out on a chance to become serenely comfortable with your own progress, growth and satisfaction!

At the last one, I gathered a big crowd of newbies together and gave a toy-bag tour, to break the ice. It worked; everybody got into the groove, and nobody was left out. At the end of the event, EVERY guy left with a big, happy and comfortable smile. In fact, the guy who started out being the shyest newbie couldn't stop giggling when he left!  Many thanks to Bryan, Mike, Joshua and Jerry and their team of volunteers for hosting this event, and making it a safe and welcoming space - It's a huge asset to our town.
