Rope Lab

We'll provide the space, hardpoints, an amazing house photographer, and music; you bring your bondage supplies and lovely presence. Photography is encouraged at this event – with the consent of everyone in the photo, of course!

Please carefully read our COVID guidelines to determine whether attending this event is within your risk profile. Particularly, note the modified k/n95 mask requirements. Also note that full vaccination INCLUDING BOOSTER IF ELIGIBLE is mandatory for all attendees, absolutely no exceptions. Details below.

While this is not a formal educational environment, we will have knowledgeable folks available to answer questions. We welcome your bondage “lab time” experiments and are happy to collaborate!

Event from 8pm - 11pm. Please plan to arrive before 9pm.

Our full photo policy can be viewed here! Specific to this event, we are utilizing color coded wristbands/glow sticks to indicate photo preferences:

• Yellow = Anyone at the event, including the house photographer(s) and anyone else, may take your photo and post it anywhere. Wheeeeee!
• Blue = Only your tying partner or the house photographer(s) may take your photo, and only to be uploaded into the shared Dropbox for you to retrieve after the event.
• Silver = Only your tying partner (or someone you designate) may take your photo – NOT the house photographer(s).
• Red = No photos. (Note that if you have a red wristband on and the host sees anyone, including your tying partner, taking photos of you, they will ask them to stop and delete the photos.)

This event is 18+, ID required. All attendees must abide by our code of conduct, event guidelines, and photo policy. Please also read our release form, which attendees are required to sign at the door. Capacity is strictly limited to ensure space for distancing and sufficient hardpoints. Please contact us for further reduced price/free entry if needed. The entry fee goes to pay for the space, compensate our photographer, and cover expenses. The fee is fully refundable up to 5 days prior to the event, using the link at the bottom of the order email. Within 5 days of the event, the entry fee is transferable but not refundable.

Attire: Whatever makes you comfortable! Temperature in the space can vary; we recommend bringing layers. Anything from sweats to elaborate costumes are welcome!

Our COVID precautions include:

• Requiring proof of up to date vaccination (which includes a booster, if eligible), for all attendees, staff, etc – absolutely no exceptions. Sufficient proof of vaccinated status is a state/federally issued vaccine card, a legible photograph of your card, or digital vaccine record. Please see this page for guidance on what it means to be "up to date" on your vaccination. Attendees who arrive without proof of vaccination per the parameters above will not be allowed entry, and will not have their tickets refunded.
• Performing a symptom screen (including touchless temperature check) and attestation at the door.
• Strictly limiting capacity to allow for physical distancing. Note that Little Boxes is large and airy, with 2 story ceilings and square footage capacity far exceeding our attendance cap.
• Bringing portable air purifiers with HEPA filters.
• Providing hand sanitizer throughout the space.
• Masking – see below

We provide and require k/n95 masks – you can put them under your cute cloth mask! These masks provide very robust protection, even with one-way masking, regardless of what anyone around you is doing. If you determine that removing your k/n95 mask is within your risk profile, you may remove them when:

• Eating/drinking
• While you are playing and/or taking photos
• At this time, we do not anticipate requiring rapid tests for folks who wish to remove their masks while playing (although of course everyone has the option to protect themselves by choosing to wear their k/n95 mask continuously). Depending on COVID rates, this may be modified in the future – any modification information will be emailed to attendees at least 1 week prior to the event.

As always, despite all mitigation efforts, exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any location where people are present. When deciding whether attending in-person events at this time is right for you, please weigh your individual risk factors (health conditions, unvaccinated or immunocompromised contacts, age, and so on) to take care of yourselves and those around you.
