May Play Party: Kinky PROM!

Take a step back in time and have the prom night you wish you'd had in high school! Put on gender-affirming formalwear - no one here will judge what you wear - and come solo or with your seven partners for a night of raunchy debauchery!

There will not be a class or discussion tonight, but rather a fun-filled evening to socialize and play! We'll play 2000s top hits and if you want to bring snacks to share, you're welcome to (please do not bring anything with peanuts).

We will not be teaching any skills at this event. If you'd like to attend but don't know how to tie, you're welcome to watch or engage in another type of play.

Suspending at Box Tie Studio:

• If you want to do any partial or full suspension, you must be vetted to do so by either Jack or Cait. This means you must be familiar with tying harnesses, hangers, and uplines, as we cannot guarantee that there will be someone knowledgeable to supervise or help you. If you want to be vetted to do suspensions at Box Tie Studio, please reach out to us ahead of time - you can email Cait at cait@boxtiestudio.org, reach out to Cait on FetLife @ropespaced or Jack @Griffin207, or message them on Instagram at @rope.spaced or @griffin_ties.

Group Rules:

• Please review our group rules. Attending the party constitutes your agreement to follow the rules; if you're not willing to do that, please don't attend. You can also print and sign our Liability Waiver and Code of Conduct Agreement from the same page on our website. If you don't, we'll have you sign them when you check in. If you've filled these out before, you don't need to sign them again.
• Please don't attend if you're feeling ill or exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 (review symptoms here). If you can't attend due to illness, we'll refund your tickets fully. We don't care what the CDC says about isolation; if you test positive for COVID within 5 days of this class, have had a known exposure, or are feeling ill, please do not come and spread your germs.

Buying Tickets & Event Capacity:

• We have a maximum capacity of 30 attendees, so if you want to come, you should get your tickets online!
• If you want to avoid Forbidden Tickets's fees, you can select the registration-only ticket and pay an alternate way. We accept cash, checks, credit/debit cards, PayPal (@ BoxTieStudio), Venmo (@ boxtiestudio), and Cashapp ($ropespaced). If you pay one of these ways ahead of time (not at the door), please indicate which order it's for (the email address on your order works).
• "Our pricing is on a sliding scale, a system developed to fight against economic injustice and widen access to education and other events to build community. Please pay according to your available resources" (wording borrowed/slightly changed from the Boston Rope Collective, with their permission). If the ticket cost is a little out of your budget even at the lowest tier, please reach out to us and we can work something out.
• Tickets are a little extra for this event to cover the cost of the prom photos and pizza!

What To Bring & Wear:

• Bring a blanket or yoga mat to sit or play on, if desired; there are a few chairs.
• Also bring water, toys, rope, and safety shears.
• We will have loaner rope available to borrow or synthetic and natural ROPE FOR SALE if you don't own any.
• Formalwear/"prom" attire encouraged but not required, & fetish-wear is welcome! Vanilla to the door; once inside, genitals and anuses must be covered (thong minimum, free the titties!)
• You can come alone or with a partner, but we won't match up single attendees for you. You can pair yourselves up if desired.

Parking & Arrival Time:

• Doors open at 5:30. Please try to arrive early! We will be closing the doors at 6:00 and making opening remarks so we can start ASAP. Please don't start tying or playing before 6pm. If you know you're going to be late, please text Cait at (207) 558-2930. If you arrive and the door is locked, please knock loudly and/or call Cait - our doorbell is broken :(
• There is plenty of parking. When you turn onto Ingersoll Drive, the parking lot is the first left, and we are the first building on the left. We are the second-floor end unit; you'll see tall windows and skylights from outside. Please text Cait at (207) 558-2930 if you have trouble finding us.

Miscellaneous:

• No guns or other weapons are allowed on the premises.
• There is no smoking indoors. Please step outside to smoke.
• Use of drugs and/or alcohol is not allowed. If you are suspected to be under the influence, you will be ejected from the event without a refund.
• There may be dog fur throughout the studio, although we do our best to keep it as clean as possible. If you're allergic, please take note.
• There are 3 short stairs to get into the building and a carpeted staircase inside to get upstairs to the studio. Unfortunately, there is no elevator access.

If you have any other questions, please reach out to us! You can also contact @ropespaced (Cait), @Griffin207 (Jack), @ragdollbaby (Grace), or @Bratty_Beck (Beck) on FetLife. Otherwise, we hope to see you there!
