Some years ago, while talking with my friend BraXteR, he thought out loud about promoting a worldwide event where those who love rope, beside the style we practice, would have an opportunity to celebrate together our shared passion. As soon as he said it I told him I loved the idea and that he could count on me for organizing it in Buenos Aires, or wherever I happen to be in the world.
So it happens that since 2010 I’ve been gladly participating in this amazing activity. It all started in Barcelona (where BraXteR lives), I followed him from Buenos Aires, and with the years it started to spread all through Europe and Latin America. On 2013, it was a complete success on all these cities around the world:
Argentina: Buenos Aires
Canada: Quebec, Montreal
Chile: Santiago de Chile
Colombia: Cali, Bogotá
Germany: Berlin, Düsseldorf
Mexico: DF
Peru: Lima
Spain: Cadiz, Oviedo, Madrid, Granada, Málaga, Gijón, Tenerife, Barcelona, Valencia
USA: Hartford, Oregon, Portland and many more !!
We expect to grow larger and farther on 2014 with new places joining the move all around the globe.
As a Shibari/Kinbaku and rope lover I felt seduced by the idea of being part of an activity where you can celebrate your simple passion for rope, specially as it has no commercial bindings, no logos, no geographical, cultural or gender barriers, or rope-style questioning.
That’s why I’m so proud to invite everybody (for the very first time in KinbakuMania) to attend the next Bondage Picnic 2014 we’ll be celebrating on Sun Jun 29th. We’ll meet in a public park to enjoy a nice winter afternoon, let our ropes fly and see what goes on next… Those who’re willing to learn will have the chance, and those who’re willing to teach will be welcomed!!
DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR ROPES !!
For better organization, in this case, we’ll start at a meeting point (close to the Bondage Picnic place) where we’ll meet from 13:00 to 13:30 hours (keep in mind it’s winter and sunset comes earlier). Then we’ll go altogether to the exact location where we’ll spend the rest of the afternoon and where the picnic will take place. Please keep in mind punctuality to avoid missing us.
We’ll be sending you a personal email where you’ll find all information about how to get there, including a map and all transports available nearby. All Bondage Picnic activities will be within Buenos Aires city. You can bring whatever you want to snack and share during the afternoon. Hot tea or mate are welcomed as also are towels, blankets or anything you think appropriate to keep us warm.
Yo have to confirm your assistance through our contact page with a valid email. We’ll be replying back to those who confirm at the stated email with all needed data of where and how to meet us. We look after protecting our privacy and keep our meeting within those who are interested in ropes. Please keep your ethics and good manners by not forwarding the email or the information to anyone.
As always we reserve the right to refuse admission and/or the right to ask anybody to leave from the meeting as to keep peace and good manners granted for everyone.
See you there !!
