SF: SparkLab Hosted by Carmen PanDiego

This event will be offered only at the Folsom Street Community Center in San Francisco. No online tickets will be available.

Are you interested in all things electro? Then SparkLab is for you! In a similar format to SpankLab or a rope jam, SparkLab is a once-monthly play jam centered on electro-play. Whether you enjoy the sensual, the sadistic, or the silly, or want to focus on elaborate scene building or improv play, you’ll find tips, tricks, tops, bottoms, and switches to lab with.

**Join us this month for a conversation on the combination of electro play with impact - a stimulating good time! We will discuss different methods and toys that can be used, and the results that can be achieved by pairing these with your violet wand or tens unit (or stand-alone sparky devices like an electric fly swatter). Demo to follow, including violet wand, tens, and stand-alone devices.**

Bring your favorite toys, your fun accessories, your new ideas, and a sense of creativity. Each lab will have a short conversation on electro-play safety, negotiation tactics, and a short demo or concept discussion, followed by open play and labbing time for the majority of the time. Questions, additional information, assistance, and support will be made available by the event host throughout.

The host will often focus on violet wand play as part of personal preference, but as are the joys of labbing, bring your tens units, your cattle prods, your tayzappers, and all other electro toys and play can be adapted.

HOST:

Carmen PanDiego (she/her) has been a lifelong kinkster, but a part of the vibrant Bay Area kink scene for about five years. She is the president of the Bay Area Kink Access and Inclusion Initiative (Bay Area K.A.I.I.), a group founded in 2021 that works to improve access and prioritize inclusivity in the San Francisco Bay kink scene by reducing barriers based on various factors of societal marginalization. Carmen is a lover of electro-stimulation play, and is always looking to develop safe, new, and creative electro scenes with friends and play partners - some funny, some seductive, and some downright sadistic. If you ever see her at your local munch or play party, please say hi - she would love to hear more about you and your involvement in the scene.

The regular ticket is $10. This is what most people should pay.

The $5 ticket is offered for those for whom the $10 ticket would be a barrier to participation. If $10 is too much, we take your word for it! Just pay $5.
