LA Kinky Weirdos August Munch - Theme: Denim

LA Kinky Weirdos is a munch that started as a Discord server for socially distant kinksters. Since we've been hosting the munch, so much has changed; about the world, and the scene. However, LA Kinky Weirdos is dedicated to holding a space in Los Angeles for diverse kinksters of all shapes, sizes and preferences. If you resonate with our name, you're right at home! We aim to be a community for people looking for community within the BDSM and ENM communities of LA. Over the years, many people have met partners, made friends and formed long term bonds! Munches are all about maintaining connections and forging new ones. This is not a play party and we cannot guarantee that you’ll meet new play partners, but you will certainly meet likeminded individuals and many people have found their partners and friends through this munch. Munches are about reinforcing community and being able to have people you know within the scene that you can turn to for support and understanding. If you're an introverted person, don't worry, you won't be alone! If you're an extroverted person, don't worry, you won't be alone. Dress up, dress down, come as you are! We aim to be a community space for people to be themselves. LA Kinky Weirdos has been hosting its munch in Silverlake for many years now. It's currently hosted at Untamed Spirits, a badass woman-owned, women's sports bar that we've come to love dearly. It's an outdoor venue with great food and great drinks. A venue similarly invested in doing community good. NOTE: Thursday nights they often also do Karaoke, you can find us under the tent in the back of the venue Our Discord server is still live and running, but Ryn is much less involved with it these days. You can join that Discord here: [https://discord.gg/D4TfPjpSuE](https://discord.gg/D4TfPjpSuE) *(Warning, we are a pretty intense Discord* *to verify with, so be prepared for that!)* If you cannot make this event, there's a great ENM social that happens in the same place every last monday of the month! Much of the same crowd!

And while 15,000 or 20,000 steps would be great, they also require more time. So to make it fun and manageable, we’re starting with 10k steps as a challenge—and we may increase the goal in future events. **THE IMPORTANT POINTS ARE THESE;** Space is limited, so **please RSVP only if you’re 100% sure you’ll attend.** 🙏🏾If you RSVP and don’t show, you will be 🚩Red Flagged 🚩for future events—we all appreciate reliability and respect for others' abilities to get a spot to walk!🙏🏾 Expect to hit somewhere between **10,000–12,000 steps (approximately 7.5-9 miles),** depending on the pace and group. This **midweek walking event** is going really well. So, let’s **stay active together** and **make this a Strong part of our routine. See You There** [COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE IN AGREEMENT] **NOW IS THE TIME, LET’S GET TO WALKING** Btw. Yes, Lacy Park allows dogs. However, they must be on a leash and it will be your own responsibility. No running involved. Just a casual, social walk. Bring water if you need it. **Free street parking is available in the surrounding areas. Please avoid parking inside the park lot, as the gates may close before we finish our walk.** **Park closes at dusk so I strongly advise against parking inside any of the lots. Just drive around, and you can easily find free open parking spaces.** **Lacy Park is located at 1485 Virginia Road, San Marino, CA 91108**
