Welcome to the October edition of Rope in Seattle!
We’re particularly excited about the new Bondage Slam event on November 8. This event creates a place for up and coming rope bondage artists to present performances in a supportive space. If you might be one of those up and coming artists, the organizers still have room for one more performance.
On the educational front, we see that Knottydevil and Pixiebait are teaching Body Manipulation 101, Connectively Tying Harnesses, and Tying to Furniture on Sunday 10/26. We’re big fans of their work and are excited to learn from them.
Rope in Seattle is updated weekly and is available via the free web, email, RSS, and Google Calendar.
