THRESHOLD: Some Assembly Required

Friday, March 20, 2026 9pm - 2am

Start time: 9pm

Playshop: 9pm-10pm - TBA

Last Entry: Midnight

End time: 2am

This Threshold, we’re turning the space into a human furniture showroom.

Expect a space where bodies are treated as objects on purpose. This party centers on human furniture. People may choose to be used as tables, footstools, cup holders, side tables, or other supportive surfaces.

While this night highlights human furniture as a featured kink and playful theme, this is first and foremost a dungeon party. All consensual kink expressions are welcome here. If being human furniture isn’t your thing, that’s totally okay. You are invited to come as you are, play how you like, and engage in the kinks that light you up.

In the garden tea party, the furniture comes to life… Cups are set into waiting hands. Plates and trays resting on bodies. Feet are placed on awaiting human stools while people chat, pour tea, and snack. Everything is negotiated. Nothing is assumed. Some furniture is meant to be functional, load-bearing, decorative, and some simply present to be looked at.

Each piece of human furniture will have a desire card clearly displayed, describing what they are offering and what is off-limits. For example, a card might say that someone is a foot stool, open to feet resting on them, spanks, or gropes, and a hard no to pinches or bites. Desire cards are a starting point, not automatic consent. Just because someone is a yes on their card does not make them a yes to you. You still need to ask, check in, and get consent before engaging. Furniture can change their mind, update limits, or step out at any time.

We’ll also be featuring a few human snack tables, where volunteers become part of the furniture and hold space — literally — for light bites and grazing.

Now Seriously… Read the instructions.

Some assembly required.

ABOUT

Threshold is Mission Control's kinkiest party. It's a place to unleash your dominant side, go deep into submission, explore restraints, role-play, and experiment with kinky toys. Whether you're a BDSM-curious newbie or a veteran with a toy bag who knows how to play, Threshold is a great place for exploration and kinky play. Our community gathers quarterly at Mission Control, where Allies (our dues paying members) play for free.

We start each event with a playshop or demonstration where iconic fetish personalities come to share their knowledge with us. If the topic of the playshop doesn't tickle your fancy, don't worry, you can arrive after it ends and just enjoy the party. Each event brings a new focus which guests can then explore in our Fun-geon upstairs… and we are expanding the fun into the gazebo and creating a whole new Fun-geon space!

Threshold is the place where our community explores the deeply erotic world of BDSM and Dark Tantra. Pleasure and pain. Intense sensations. Power play. As with all Mission Control events, Threshold is built on a foundation of consent and responsible play.

Threshold is an all inclusive gender space. Any individuals who identifies as a woman, female, man, male, genderqueer, gender fluid, trans masculine, trans feminine, transgender and others with identities beyond the binary sex or gender spectrum are welcome, including all sexualities, sexual orientations, and sexual expressions.
