Spellbound: Opening night performance extravaganza

Step into a realm of mesmerizing mystique as Twisted Windows brings an enchanting extravaganza to kick off Surrender! Exquisitely erotic, particularly perilous, and whimsically wonderous – join us for a breathtaking spectacle inspired by all things magical. Dark Odyssey presents a line-up of mythical proportions featuring an eclectic mix of acrobatics, dance, suspension bondage, music, drag, burlesque, and campy shenanigans, with performers including Cherry Cola, CeZar the Superstar, Sadira, Shay & Angel, Alotta Boutté, Drago Nesa, Aileen, and Yoko Taketani. Don’t be fashionably late – Lief & Icarus will meld bondage, theatre, art, and connection in a bewitching bondage pre-show starting promptly at 7:50pm.

Attendee costumes are admired but not required (we’re in early Halloween mode this weekend, after all) – think mystical magicians, whimsical wizards, fae folks, otherworldly allure, and anything dazzling and dashing!

The Meet Rack

Hosted by Torque and AnnabelleBlue

Objectification! Groping! Vulnerability!

People on display, and available for you to meet!
The Meet Rack is a chance for people who crave a bit of objectification to go “on the Rack”, while the rest of the convention guests wander around and “Grope the Meat”. People on the Rack are naked or partially clothed, arms bound overhead, and available to be touched (nicely and politely) anywhere they aren’t wearing clothing.

In lieu of the auction we’ll also have a way to let your interest be known to the people on the rack, so there will be an element of speed dating to it as well. And, if the person on the rack chooses, we’ll randomly pick one of their suitors to “win” them for negotiation!
It’s always a blast and something that only comes around once a year!
