Bound In Boston XII: October 13 & 14, 2012

Bound In Boston XII will be held on October 13 & 14, 2012, at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, Norwood, MA. The hotel is 30 minutes from Boston, 35 minutes from Providence, 1 hour from Nashua, 4 hours from NYC, and 25 hours from Salt Lake City.

We will be departing from our usual "large-format" con, with an eye towards creating a more focused and connected community weekend. The classes will be tightly integrated with one another, with attention paid to fine-tuning our skills and creativity. Attendance will be capped at 125 people (For reference, our last con in March was attended by over 300 people). And, of course, we'll have a very awesome party on Saturday night!

All attendees must buy a ticket in advance for the con. No walk-in registrations; if you arrive at the con without a ticket, you will not be admitted. Ticket sales start on Fri, 6/1/2012 and end on Wed, 10/10/2012 at 9:00 PM.

If you mostly like to be the one who does the tying, you should definitely bring rope. If you usually like to be the one who gets tied up, bringing rope is optional, but still recommended. If you don't have rope, or you're not sure what to bring, check out the rope page for suggestions on what to bring.

All attendees must be at least 18 years old, and will need to sign a waiver.

This Bound In Boston website serves members of the bdsm rope bondage kink and fetish communities in the Boston, Massachusetts area. It is particularly of interest to people who are interested in Shibari or Kinbaku. These are the origins of the Japanese-styled rope bondage techniques that we learn about and practice. Very often people in the kink and fetish communities are interested in rope bondage, having heard the terms Shibari and Kinbaku, but are uneducated in their origins and use. While we are not technically teaching the pure rope bondage forms of Shibari or Kinbaku, we base our teachings on those artforms. Our workshops are in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Hemp, jute - different types of rope are used.

There's nothing down here.
