Happy Anniversary to ALL of us!

Hello kinksters –

Our 13th Anniversary is this Sunday, and I want to thank each and every one of you for bringing us to this day. We absolutely, truly could not have done this without a massive amount of support from our community. Because of you, we offer a unique safe space for the kinky, queer and sex-positive communities. So congratulate yourself on this massive accomplishment!

If you’d like to hear our take on how the kink community has evolved and changed over the past 13 years — or literally ask us anything! — we hope you’ll join our panel discussion Thirteen Lucky Years: An Oral History of Wicked Grounds this Saturday at 5pm PDT, either in person or online. (Don’t forget that members at the VIP+ level can get free tickets with your discount code!) 

Over the years we’ve had:

• A few sets of owners
• Two major near death experiences
• One epic showdown with a national coffee chain
• Hundreds of munches
• Thousands of classes
• Dozens of pop up booths at local play parties
• Thirteen Folsom Street Fairs
• A half-dozen or so Wicked Grounds Playground play parties
• Two podcasts
• One YouTube channel​
• One Patreon​
• A set of rehearsals for a queer musical (EyeZen’s Out of Site: SOMA)
• One tribute as the setting for a queer dark comedy (Awesome Theater’s Mercy Killing) 
• One blink-and-you’ll miss it scene in an adult murder mystery (Shine Louise Houston’s Snapshot: the film)
• A few instances in Kink.com and SeriousBondage.com porn clips and several indie student film clips
• Several memorials
• One wedding

A few trips down memory lane on video:

• ​What is Wicked Grounds on YouTube
• A community profile from four years ago
• This crazy video from eight years ago when Mo & I first joined the team, which was also the video for our first ever fundraiser. Oh . . . youth! I’m delighted to say that all the things we promised to do in this video, we did!
• The very first profile I was able to find, interviewing Rose thirteen years ago!

If you’re in San Francisco, help us celebrate at our 13th Anniversary Fair from noon – 5pm Sunday at the cafe & Annex. Yes, we know it might rain. The fair is indoors. so come anyway! (If you’re part of Leatherwalk, your Leatherwalk wrist band gets you in for free!)
