Welcome to the May edition of Rope in Seattle!

This month, we’re particularly excited about the Seattle Erotic Art Festival, which runs from Friday May 2 through Sunday May 4. It’s a great event, with tons of art and lots of great eye candy (it’s a great excuse to dress up). And perhaps we’re biased, but we happen to think the very talented rope performances are the best part of the festival.

Rope in Seattle is updated weekly and is available via the free web, email, RSS, and Google Calendar.
