Wicked Grounds Presents: SpankLab!
A peer-led skill share to explore impact play
Hosted by @impossiblepain
SpankLab is something like a rope jam for impact play. We build community connections while learning skills from each other in a lighthearted, low-pressure space. SpankLab welcomes people new to the scene or curious about impact play, as well as experienced players looking to hone or expand their bottoming and topping skills. Bring toys if you have them, and wear whatever you like! @impossiblepain will be available throughout the event to monitor for safe play and as a resource for questions and hands-on instruction.
7 to 7:15: Impact play demo (different demo monthly!)
7:15: DOORS CLOSE
Please note: late arrivals after 7:15 will not be admitted and will not be refunded. Plan accordingly!
7:15-7:30: Review of rules and guidelines, toys show-and-tell
7:30-9: Socialize, observe, and practice impact play!

Kinky Speed Friending with PsychoKitty
2026-09-09 19:00 - 20:00 | Trellis Coworking and Events, 981 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
We can’t promise love, but we can help you with a fun night full of meeting people, a lot of people, fast.
Our purpose is to encourage you to meet new people.
– Find people with similar kinks as yours.
– Find people with whom to explore new kinks.
– Find new friends.
– Find new people to play with.

People will be separated by appetite, either top or bottom. (Switches can pick a side or wait to see what side is needed more.) And then you will get two minutes with each person and a chance to connect afterward.
The evening is about meeting people who complement your kinky appetite, not about identity or gender. The people you meet will be worth meeting, even if they aren’t your appetite.
Once the event has started, we can not add new people, so please be on time.

PRESENTER:
Ryan “Psychokitty” has been helping people connect with similar events for over a decade, from the old Shibaricon in Chicago to Dark Odyssey: Surrender, or hosting events at the SF Citadel, Catalyst, and of course Wicked Grounds.

ACCESS:
In SF, this event will be held at Trellis. Please note that doors will close quickly so we recommend arriving 15 minutes before the event starts for check-in.
We cannot admit anyone after about 7:10 (once the event has begun), so please plan accordingly! Late arrivals cannot be refunded.
Please do not attend in person if you have any respiratory symptoms whatsoever. Anyone displaying signs of respiratory symptoms may be asked to leave, regardless of vaccination status.
