House Party: May the Fourth Be With You - in July!

House Party is a safe and inclusive space for the BDSM and kink community to explore, connect, and play, held on the first Friday of every month.

A long time ago On the Fourth of July, our First Fridays House Party returns and we’re bringing a little extra Force power to the party - straight from a galaxy far, far away. Join us for a special edition of House Party, where the energy is live, the vibe is playful, and the play is anything but ordinary.

While you can find more wretched hives of scum and villainy in this town, our inclusive open play event serves as the city’s premier sanctuary for all kinds of deviance and perversions; a playground for kinksters of every galactic stripe! For this special edition of House Party, we invite you to align yourself - not with factions, but with Houses drawn from Star Wars lore.

1. Will you embody the sensual strength of House Organa?
2. The sharp discipline of House Kryze?
3. The chaotic hunger of House Skywalker?
4. Or the commanding presence of House Palpatine

Costumes encouraged, but not mandatory - just bring your flavor, your intention, and your curiosity.

We'll typically have pizza and sodas among other snacks to munch on while we party on First Fridays. But we might change it up for this one depending on what inspires us.

Everyone from curious newcomers to seasoned veterans are invited to experience the full spectrum of kinky activities in a supportive and consensual environment. Come on down to Stopgap for a Friday night filled with fun connections and exciting play. Find your community and enjoy a night in your favorite club without needing to hyperspace a few planets over...

The Venue

This event will be held at Stopgap in San Francisco. The address will be provided to ticket holders for privacy and safety reasons. For planning purposes, it is in SOMA and a 10 minute walk from the UN Plaza/Civic Center BART station.

While a new venue in its current iteration, the building itself has a rich history in the kink community. The first floor has social spaces, lockers (bring your own lock or purchase a lock at the front desk), and two bathrooms. Descend into the 3100 square foot basement to enjoy historic equipment that many in the community may have enjoyed in days gone by plus some newer pieces from our collection. There will be crosses, benches, tables, bondage chairs, cages, and much more! @Stopgap is not only located in an important place of kink history, it's a place of history in the making right now.

Entry

Presale tickets are $40 and must be purchased through Forbidden Tickets. Presale tickets are highly recommended to save money and secure your spot. The confirmation email will contain the address of the venue. If you have previously been to Stopgap, you may buy a walk-in ticket at the door. Door tickets are $50 cash, Venmo, Zelle, or on Forbidden Tickets. Ticket prices include all fees.
