Description:

Hitchin’ Bitches San Jose Bay Area Hookah Smoke & Rope Social – October

This is our casual monthly gathering skill share between all Hitchin’ Bitches while in a relaxing hookah smoke friendly atmosphere. This is not as regimented as the skill share on 2nd Sundays as it is centered around lounging near a hookah, socializing, and is a fundraiser. We would like to invite anyone who wants to support our mission of empowering women with rope. Men should come partnered with a top or bottom. We are making this exception to our usual guidelines to allow as many people as possible to support our regimented female top Skill Shares at Billy DeFrank and Center for Sex & Culture. This may be casual, but there will still be some sharing ideas, problem solving together, riffing with rope, and generally rope jamming together.
