Nun goes to Petting Zoo.
May. 18th, 2025 09:24 amFor a few years now I've been hearing about events called Petting Zoo, mainly from the local latex gang. I finally got around to checking it out. TL;DR: A+ would groove with them again.
But first, who the hell are these people? It took me a while to find out, but they're kink-friendly* Burners who are raising money for the Slutgarden theme camp**. The theme was rainbows and unicorns, so as Rubbermaid put it, there were a lot of horny people around***.
Eye candy: first rate. Sweet thangs of all genders showing a lot of skin, in the grandest Burner tradition.
Choonz: very uptempo, in a good way. They had local dyke DJ Trinitron on the decks for an hour plus, and at least a couple of other women who did a good job, so points for that.
Met and chatted up cutie with lots of grey hair. She went grey early, so she's too young. Le sigh. But! Meeting people is good.
Got hit on by a dude, but he's a dude with manners.
A note about the venue: Club Sur has a lot of Latin nights, and Cuban-themed permanent decoration. I get the impression that Club Sur is by and for Latinos except when it isn't. They're also just down the block from the beloved Monkey Loft. I can get there from my place using one bus and no train.
*Several people in puppy gear and of course the aforementioned latex gang attended. And then there was yours truly in head-to-toe leather, which I though was at least adjacent to the fur theme.
**I have a friend who had a bad experience with Slutgarden related to beauty standard enforcement, which is all too common in the bigger theme camps these days. Cf. Robot Heart. I'll discuss this with our mutual friend, Dancer. Pity, really, because last night was the kind of event that got me camping with the Space Virgins back in '07.
***I'll see myself out.
