Activities

Note: all the following activities will take place at Breathless. For the activities that take place over meal times, you are welcome to bring take-out food, snacks or bagged meals to enjoy.

Opening Words and Cirque du Sado Cabaret!

Friday 8:30 - 10:00 p.m.

Theme: Cirque du Sado
(followed by the weekend’s first play party, 10 p.m. – 2 a.m.)

Join us for a few opening words and a warm welcome from Jacqueline and Andrea! Then sit back and enjoy a fabulous Cirque du Sado show featuring Harvest’s very own pervy poi spinners, kinky contortionists, breast-baring burlesque performers and more. The audience members wearing the best circus-inspired outfits—lions, tamers, acrobats, jugglers, and whatever else your devious minds can conjure up—will win prizes, and everyone will have a chance to compete for some excellent door prizes from our sponsors, including Venus Envy and After Stonewall Books. We guarantee you’ll be properly teased and titillated before the weekend’s first play party!

Fresh Meet

Saturday 11:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.

Fresh Meet is our traditional Saturday morning circle jerk. Uh, that is, meet and greet! Right. Come meet fellow Harvesters and mingle over coffee or tea. The few fun introductory games will hardly hurt at all (unless you want them to). And there will be (gluten-free) baked goods! It’s a great way to get to know all the sexy perverts you saw the night before but were too shy to talk to. Come join in the fun!

Tattooed Ladies, Fat Ladies and Cooch Dancers: The Women of the Sideshow

Saturday 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.

Bring your lunch and come see a very special slide show presentation. Check our Workshops section for details!

Body Painting and DIY Poi Spinning!

Saturday 6:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Impress the ladies! Wow the gentlemen! If Friday night’s performance got you curious, come learn how to make your own poi (hint: it’s ridiculously easy and cheap), and then get a few lessons in how to spin it. We’ll have nylons and balls available for making a few sets of poi, but feel free to bring your own supplies if you wish. And if you already have a few tricks up your sleeve, don’t be shy to come share! Or, if poi isn’t your thing, strip down and get someone to paint you up to show off your best assets for the evening. We bet nobody would complain if you did both, even.

The Personal, the Political and the Professional: Sex Workers Speak

Sunday 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.

This first instalment in our soon-to-be-annual Kink and Identity panel series promises to be an exciting one. Check our Workshops section for details!

Film Screening: Post-Apocalyptic Cowgirls
by Maria Beatty (Bleu Productions)

Sunday 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

(Okay, so it’s not circus-themed, but it’s crazy hot.)

“After the Third World War and global warming have transformed the planet into a desert, what remains? Two post-apocalyptic cowgirls in leather and Stetsons! A tough exotic Amazon with a gun and boots hitchhikes on a bleak Arizona highway. A car stops. A delicious submissive invites her into the car. The chemistry between these two sexy, dangerous lesbian chicks is gonna make you hotter than the desert sun. They spank, fist-fuck, lick and play with boots, guns, snakes, and cacti in the dust. Their sex is a dripping wet oasis from the heat!”

Closing Ceremonies

Sunday 9:30-10 p.m.

For the first time this year, we actually do plan to get a bit ceremonial. Nothing too scary or woo-woo, we promise... but you don’t want to miss this last chance to reconnect with the whole Harvest crowd, celebrate the amazing energy of the weekend, and wish each other well before the last play party gets underway. Your presence—yes, YOU, you sexy thing—is deeply desired, politely requested or sternly required, whichever floats your boat!

Kinky Klean-up and Bye-Bye Brunch

Monday 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

You’ve made some awesome connections over the weekend, and you just can’t bear to say goodbye quite yet… plus, you’re up for lending a hand to bring Breathless back to its pristine (cough) pre-Harvest state. What to do? Join us at our main venue to be part of the community clean-up crew! Many hands make light work, and when the job is done, we’ll all head to a nearby kink-friendly brunch restaurant that’s expecting a herd of leatherdykes to descend for a satisfying meal to cap off a more than satisfying weekend. (Brunch is at your own cost.)

 

An Unholy Harvest extends its sincerest thanks to our 2011 sponsors!
