KinkForAll Providence

If you're sex-positive,
sex-curious,
&/or just plain sexy,
you should consider attending a KinkForAll.

What IS a KFA, you ask? To steal from the official website:

KinkForAll is an ad-hoc informational unconference on sexuality for anyone and everyone.

KinkForAll draws participants from an astounding range of sexuality-related communities. Anyone with the desire to learn or with something to contribute is welcome and invited to participate.

KinkForAll is an intense event with discussions, presentations, and interaction from all participants. There are no spectators, only participants. To attend, you must give a presentation or help out in some other way.

KinkForAll is an entirely free, open to the public event.

KinkForAll events aim to support participants face-to-face and to create shared knowledge with lasting benefit to humanity.

KinkForAll is inspired by and based upon the BarCamp community and unconference model.

I first got involved with KFA last autumn. I heard about KinkForAll (more specifically KFA Boston) from a friend and planned on attending. When the event last-minute lost its venue, I began actively working on helping make it happen and securing a venue at Brown. In the end, thanks to the efforts of many fantastic folk, we wound up keeping it in MA and holding it at Boston University. It was a rewarding, informational, and super fun experience, and I definitely wanted one to happen in Providence. So, we present to you KinkforAll Providence, happening February 6th at Brown University! :)

We're currently in the early planning stages, but there is already groundwork laid out thanks to previous conferences and the clock is ticking. I highly encourage ANY and ALL of you to get involved, even if it's in a small way. Every little bit helps, and THAT'S how these KFAs happen--thanks to the collective efforts of many people. So start clicking on links and exploring. I hope you'll join us there. :) If you have any questions, let me know. I'd be happy to answer them or direct you to the folks who can.

I'm really excited to see this happen, and you've done a great job putting the venue together and more, Aida. :)

With you at the helm, I'm sure it'll be fantastic. I hope I can make it!

FYI, the first "KinkForAll" link in this post is broken. :(

I'm super excited too! And no worries. It has all been a pleasure. :)

Like I said on the listserv, definitely hope you can make it. If you're swinging by Providence any other time, though, definitely let me know.

Methinks I fixed it; thanks for the heads up!
