Held right as we open, this event is an opportunity for people new to the scene, to cons, or even just GKE to come learn a bit about it, ask questions, and generally get comfortable with some of the things they’ll experience.
The hunt is an interesting game of 'primal hide and seek' a 'kinky ice breaker' or perhaps just a 'really cool way to meet people.' Players will chose a style or play, open season hunters, prey, or private. During the hangout we'll meet other hunters/hunted, go over the rules of the game, and hand out wristbands.
Everyone interested in playing must come to the hangout to go over the rules and get a wristband.

We've all had the paranoid notion that the creaking noise coming from downstairs was not "just the pipes" but a maniac with a hatchet. Through Hypnosis, we can take advantage of that feeling and have some fun with it. If that description didn't scare you away (see what I did there) join D'artagnan in learning how to set up the most frightening possible scene with your partner(s). Through a series of demos, Q&A sessions, and open discussion we'll go over the best way to scare the daylights out of someone while staying risk aware enough to make sure no one's scared off for good.

Why is it so hard to meet people? Whether you are looking for a play partner for the evening or a partner for life, it can be difficult to make a connection. Why can some people play as much as they want at an event like GKE, while others watch from the sidelines? It’s not about how you look. It’s about what you do. In this workshop, we will discuss techniques, strategies and mindsets to find a partner and create a connection, but we will do so with a constant awareness that our potential partners are *people* to be treated with respect and honesty at all times. This is not a workshop for pickup artists. It is for good, honest people looking to have a safe, sane, consensual time with other good people.

We discuss techniques for building and maintaining connection between the participants in a rope scene. The goal is to better give and take in scenes where we stay focused and immerse ourselves in tying sensually and with affection. We then will practice a variety of exercises together for tying in a slow, mindful and connective way. These activities assume little in the way of prior experience as the emphasis is on the participants themselves. Participants should bring one eight to ten meter rope.
No matter what side of the slash you may be on, we are all facing battles others often know little about. Trying to keep ourselves confident, healthy and balanced isn't always as easy feat. Life always seems to present challenges and stresses no matter where we go, and we must rise to the occasion each time. But we're human, and this can cause us to feel depressed, exhausted, frustrated, impatient, etc. How can we manage a healthy relationship and dynamic while balancing the reality of our resources, emotional state, and the difficulties is what this session is all about. Moderated Group Discussion.

In this “please try this at home” style presentation, D’artagnan goes over some of the Hypnotic tips and tricks for finding your ideal doll (android, robot, golem, seriously have fun with it) head-space.

Wouldn't it be awesome to turn a simple bed of desk into a rack or a simple snap of the fingers into a great big pain explosion? If any of those questions excited you, then you're probably the kind of beautifully twisted person who would get something out of this class. Join D'artagnan for a discussion and series of demos on how to maim and torture (in all the most fun consensual ways of course) someone with the power of suggestion.
D’artagnan is a New York based Hypnotist, producer of hypnotic (often horror based) audio recordings and a co-coordinator of TES’s Hypnosis group. For the last few years, he has dedicated an inordinate amount of time to developing experimental skills and techniques for kinksters... Read More →
What makes a good rope bottom? You’re guaranteed to get a different answer from the tops and from the bottoms. This class will attempt to bridge the communication gap between rigger and bottom, while providing safety and body awareness tips for bottoms – which is valuable information for folks on both sides of the rope. This is a lecture/discussion with a workshop component. One of the exercises is partnered and will require a few pieces of rope (of your choosing).
Have you ever looked at a toy & wished you had the skills to create one yourself? Or are you a crafter who has wondered what else you could make with your growing stash of materials? Come to Delirium’s Kinky Crafting class where you will be taught how to make your own flogger out of materials you can buy at any craft store. Whether you are new to crafting or someone who has a knack for fabricating homemade wares – this class is for you! Attendees will be shown how to customize their creation to fit their style of kink. All supplies will be provided – there will be a $5 fee (cash or Paypal) to cover costs. Seating is limited to 25.
Session full. If pre-registered attendees do not show up, we will take first from the waitlist (closed 8/2) and then from walk-ins).

Living the lifestyle requires balancing the demands of real life and the desires within the relationship. There are always competing demands on our time, resources, attention, and focus. This discussion will look at ways to think about our roles, dynamics, and competing priorities and help resolve conflicts between them.
Key points include: Accepting the now -“ appreciation of thought is mostly false or distorted; Creative perspective - everything is possible, although not necessarily probable; Fluidity and adaptability - staying flexible with intent versus plans; Principles and prioritization - keeping what matters most in sight; Excellence versus Perfection- forgiving of self or others by being realistic

After hijacking more than one class on cock sucking with the “what about condoms?” question, stranjbird found others begging to teach them her ways. In a hands (and mouth!) on class, you will learn some of the key differences between giving head with or without a condom and how to give your partner brain-breaking pleasure either way. This class has a slight bias towards organic/bio-cocks, but techniques for hot, connective play with strap-on’s will also apply. Please bring your own cock (bio or removable!) if you wish to follow along.

We present an introduction to ties that keep the legs of the rope bottom bound together. We begin only with the idea of reversing tension to create a pattern accessible to anyone first handling rope. We will then introduce hitches and locks to recreate a very sturdy version of what we’ve done before. We will discuss its uses in suspensions as well as difficulties it presents. Participants should bring six eight to ten-meter ropes.
Platforms, stilettos, ballet boots, corsets and more. How to decide what to buy, how to wear it and sometimes, how to walk in it. Why can one pair of 6 inch heels be so much easier to walk in than another pair? What's the difference between different styles of corsets and which one is best for you? What's the best way to lace a corset? Comparisons, demonstrations, and hacks to make life more comfortable will be provided. Have a wardrobe piece you are having a problem with? Bring it with you and let's see what options we can figure out.

The starting point for many elements of rope bondage is the basic one column tie, but which basic one column should we use? Popularized by the rigger Topologist in Somerville Massachusetts in 2009, the Somerville Bowline is a particularly secure choice and also quite attractive. We will discuss advantages over the Boola Boola and other competitors and go through several different methods, varying in difficulty and speed, that one can use to tie a Somerville. We'll also teach the Slipped Somerville, Reverse Somerville, and Two-Column Somerville and talk about the uses for each. In the end, we finish with a single tie that combines the Somerville techniques we've learned. Participants should bring one eight to ten-meter rope.
Everyone has something they find interesting and want to share with others. Come watch fellow GKE attendees share a presentation on a topic they are interested in. The topics will range from geeky to kinky so this is a great chance to find something new you might be interested in. Who knows? You might even learn something new!
