Flying in a Presenter.

I have been chatting with Roughinamorato for a few months about coming out to Seattle and giving us the Rough Crowd treatment. So he is coming all the way out from Chicago and I am hoping that the community will rise up and give him an incredible welcome to the PNW. (I have been talking us up, after all.)

We're finally making it happen March 7th through 9th. Over those 3 days, we'll get 4 classes including the Explore party where you will have plenty of time after the formal workshop on Rough Body Play to ask more questions, try out your new skills and pick Rough's brain for ideas.

Since Rough can't exactly pack his usual demo bottoms in his suitcase, I have been working with him to get some demo bottoms lined up. That is very strange. It's a little like procuring and being a matchmaker mixed together. Without the money aspect, of course.

If you are on FetLife, you can click on the links below for each class. Or you can go to the FSPC calendar page and check out each class description.

Thursday, March 7 from 7 to 9pm before Grind/Chill - Spanking 201- Full Body Spanking

Friday, March 8 from 6 to 7:30pm before Tie Me Up, Take Me Down - Predicament Bondage
(I am very excited about this one.)

Saturday, March 9 from noon to 2pm in Pioneer Square where YAREG happens - Introduction to Breath Play
(Breath Play workshop will NOT be held at the CSPC due to the rule of the facility.)

Saturday, March 9 from 8pm until midnight- Explore! Rough Body Play

If you are interested in checking out these fantastic classes, you can buy advance tickets via Stranger Tickets. Purchase a package ticket for all 4 classes and save!

SEAF Art Submission Update

Thanks for your patience with us. We are working hard on the artist portal so all you amazing artists can send in your submissions. The goal is by dinner time tomorrow (6pm Sunday 2/10) you will all be able to start uploading your art.

The only real change to the website is a fairly big one, our credit card processor. If you will all remember, PayPal froze our account because of our "adult" nature. Turns out being an art organization did not protect us from their policies. We got all our money back and ended out relationship with them. Now, we have a new system that is working out nicely in the testing process and by tomorrow night, we should be ready to go.

There will still be the early bird special going until Feb. 24th that we did last year. That will save you $10 off the $30 submission fee.

Another change we are working on is allowing artists to pay for additional submissions. That means you could pay a second $30 fee to upload another 5 entries for consideration. Now, don't get too excited. This is a much bigger project than switching out the payment system and that one is pretty big! This may not be ready by the end of the 10th. I will keep you updated.

Thanks for your patience and I am excited to see everyone's art this year!
