Standing our ground!

February 19, 2025 By Miriam Green

 A day without a Wicked Grounds. Unimaginable, right?  Unfortunately, staying here for you is an ongoing battle.  On Tuesday, July 17th, we will be closing at 4pm so that all staff and our community can attend a community input meeting for a proposed Starbucks at L7 at 8th and Harrison. We encourage you to take advantage of our being closed for this inconvenient afternoon to speak up for the integrity of the Leather Cultural District and the importance of true community businesses in this space.  Get active. Get involved. Light a candle for Stormy Leather. And get out there to make spaces you believe in.  To attend the Starbucks community input meeting, you must RSVP to Aishleen Spiers at aspiers@bergdavis.com. The meeting will be at the L7 Apartments Community Room at 8th and Harrison from 6:30 – 8pm on Tuesday, July 17th.  Again, WG will be closed starting at 4pm that day so we can focus on attending this meeting.  Want to keep up with the latest about this? See our event listing for Ungrounded on Facebook.

Patreon Pride 2018

February 19, 2025 By Miriam Green

Hey there Kinksters June is Pride Month and at Wicked Grounds we’re celebrating! So, we thought it’d be fun to give you our final pledge drive ask video for a little bit with a bit of Pride flair.   I know we’ve been doing a lot of Patreon related video content that you, our subscribers, already know about. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it probably a million times forever, but we’re so thankful for all of you. You’re keeping us going and we’re trying to build a foundation that takes some of the pressure off of…well…everyone. New videos with topics other than Patreon are coming SOON. You’ll want to stay tuned for more updates. Patrons at the Furiosa ($10) and above tier are seeing this goofiness first, before it’s released to the rest of the world! Again, thank you all so much and have a fun, safe, happy Pride, Johnny

30 Days of Pride Day 4: Kink concierge services

February 19, 2025 By Miriam Green

  Monday, June 4th: Kink concierge services! We have always said that Wicked Grounds are kink concierges first and foremost — coffee is just how we’ve traditionally made that happen. (And now, through the power of the internet, we can bring our knowledge and expertise nearly everywhere!) What does that mean? It means when you come into the shop, our baristas will help you figure out the best party or munch for you, and when it happens. It means that we keep a full “propaganda area” near our bathrooms where you can peruse flyers for local parties, organizations, craftsfolk and kink-aware professionals — or leave propoganda or your own. It means that when you ask for a book recommendation, we’re going to take time to learn more about you to give the best possible advice for who you are, how you play, and how you learn. It means that when you ask for a toy recommendation, we’re going to listen and tell you what we think is the best fit for you — whether that’s something that you can buy from us, or we send you to another shop or website. It means that we host the Kinky Queer Revolution podcast (20 episodes and counting!), offer KINK 101 classes, teach in the local community, and are re-launching a regular advice column. In short, it means that we want to be your trusted advisers on all things kink. Do you have a friend or loved one who needs help on their kink adventures? Send them our way! We are happy to help. #30daysofpride#pride2018#coffeeandkink#kinkconcierges
