Ford Hall turned out to be a great venue for us and many people said it was a better fit than Blegen. Yay for happy accidents. We had a lot of great workshops presented by a lot of super rad people. Everything went smoothly for the most part and it seemed like everyone had a pretty good time. In our round table discussion after workshops were done yesterday, we planners got a lot of good feedback about what people enjoyed and what could be improved/changed/added/removed/&c.

Thank you all for coming and being a part of this year’s Sexy Spring! Thanks to my fellow planners for all their awesomeness and to everyone that gave us a hand in making Sexy Spring happen.

As we looked over the growing list of performers in this year’s Cabaret (we’ll keep you waiting a little while longer, but will start announcing them soon!), we realized that they’re all storytellers of one sort or another. Imagine a naughty after-hours story time in the library, filled with fairies of every sort!

The Cabaret will feature dancers, singers, strippers, storytellers and other performers whose work addresses sex, sexual identity, and sexuality; gender and gender expression; body image and our culture’s impact on our experiences as fragile, strong, sexual, embodied beings.

There’s still time to get in on the show! If your work addresses our themes, we’d love to hear from you!

interested in volunteering at Sexy Spring as well as everyone that plans
to present. It’s at the Firehouse in Powderhorn Park at 821 East 35th
Street from 6-8. We’ll have two kind of separate groups, one for
presenters on facilitating good skillshares and one for anyone that wants
to help during the event. For people interested in being a Vibes Watcher
(maintainers of the safer space) there will be some training and
discussion about safer space and dealing with conflict. If you’re
interested in helping us with anything from set-up to break-down to food
to hanging out at the desk come and hang out with us! There will likely
even be food!

Let me sum up:

Tuesday June 10th, 6-8 pm
Powderhorn Park Firehouse @ 821 East 35th Street

Volunteers
Presenters
Food
Fun

Hope to see you there!
with love,
Sexy Spring Collective

p.s. if you can’t make it to this meeting and want to volunteer or
present, we’ll have another meeting the morning of the 14th. This isn’t
mandatory for presenters, but strongly encouraged!
