 Details
 =======
 KinkForAll is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people of all persuasions to share and learn in an open environment. It is a fast-paced event with discussions\, presentations\, and interaction from all participants. (It is inspired by the BarCamp community.)
 ANYONE WITH SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE OR WITH THE DESIRE TO LEARN IS WELCOME AND INVITED TO JOIN. When you attend\, be prepared to share with others. When you leave\, be prepared to share it with the world.
 A KinkForAll is a special kind of gathering because there are no spectators\, only participants. Attendees must give a talk or a presentation\, help with one\, or otherwise contribute in some way to support the event. This is called sharing and we like it. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen—there are no pre-scheduled presentations or keynote addresses. The people present at the event will select the presentations they want to see.
 Anyone can lead a session\, on any topic related to sexuality. You do not necessarily have to teach a new skill or idea. You might share an experience\, facilitate a discussion\, or read a poem. The goal is to start a conversation\, make connections (and maybe even friends)\, and exchange knowledge. Presentations promoting specific commercial products or companies are discouraged.

SUMMARY:7th Annual Brian Setzer Orchestra CHRISTMAS ROCKS! Extravaganza
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4428337/ ] Stray Cats rocker-become-big-band-leader Brian Setzer has a rep for revving up classics like “Pennsylvania 6-5000” with rap\, tape loops\, and a hard-driving guitar lead. Now he lights a raging Yule fire with a show that soups up seasonal favorites from “Sleigh Ride” to “(Everybody’s Waitin’ for) The Man with the Bag.” “Setzer kept the audience on their feet and dancing” (AllAboutJazz.com).
 "Like pouring gasoline on a fire" is how Brian Setzer describes 1998’s double-platinum\, Grammy-winning\, Top 10-charting “The Dirty Boogie.” But while Setzer wanted to fan the flames with the follow-up\, he also wanted to jack up the octane.
 "It would be an easy trap to fall into to do ‘Dirty Boogie II\,’" says Setzer. "The criticism of swing is that it’s music from the past. I wanted to keep a lot of the same sound -- this isn’t a harpsichord record all of a sudden --but I wanted this to be music for 2000 and beyond.
 “So we experimented\, we stretched out. We said\, ‘Let’s get crazy and go for it.’" So on “Vavoom!\," the fourth album from The Brian Setzer Orchestra\, released August 1\, 2000\, he "scuffed it up." For most of the album’s six classics\, Setzer says he "had to choose ways to make them mine. It was like rebuilding a house by taking the old one down except for one wall. In the end\, it’s so far away from the original\, you can’t imagine what it looked like when you started."
 Not only did he pen lyrics to the traditional instrumental "In The Mood\," creating "Gettin’ In The Mood\," but he even added a rap. On "Pennsylvania 6-5000\," there are new lyrics\, tape loops and even a hip-hop beat.
 "It took me by surprise that the hip-hop beat and the swing beat are parallel. When I heard it\, I went\, ‘I’ll be damned\, it worked\, let’s keep going.’ I can tell if something’s good if I smile. This made me smile. I wanted to make these songs so brand-new that people would go ‘Wow! I never thought ...’"
 Along with a faithful rendition of "Mack The Knife\," a psychobilly version of the instrumental "Caravan\," a rockin’ doo-wop take on "Gloria" and a freewheeling "Americano" (translated from the Italian original\, made famous by Jude Law’s and Matt Damon’s performance in "The Talented Mr. Ripley")\, Setzer also penned eight originals.
 "My influences are always with me. All I can do is sit with a guitar and write rockabilly songs and\, if they’re good\, then write the charts for the horns and turn them into the animals that they are."
 “Vavoom!\,” produced by Peter Collins (Jewel\, Indigo Girls\, Nanci Griffith)\, Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette\, No Doubt) and David Darling\, also adds female background singers to The Brian Setzer Orchestra experience for the first time.
 "It’s a different dimension\, especially live. Besides\, they ain’t bad to look at after seeing us slobs for an hour and a half."
 As a result\, the band’s tour this summer has been titled the "Here I Go Again Draggin’ 16 Guys (And A Couple Chicks) Around The World Tour."
 What is nearly as unlikely as the success of The Brian Setzer Orchestra -- a true\, 17-piece Big Band fronted by an electric guitar -- is that no one has jumped on the bandwagon. The reason\, suggests Setzer\, is simple: "This isn’t like punk rock\, where anyone could pick up a guitar and play loud. The level of musicianship required is pretty high."
 Another reason may be that no one else has had the musical guts as well as chops.
 "What made it happen is that we’re original\," Setzer says. "This is American music\, it’s ingrained in us\, but we took it in a new direction. This is a whole different beast than a ‘40s Big Band. The only similarity is the instrument lineup.

 Tom Quinn: Band leader\, lead guitarist\, and relentless crusader for all things "Pink Floyd". In 1973\, The Dark Side Of The Moon was released. That same year Tom bought his first guitar\, and started his first band. From day one\, his chief mentor was David Gilmour. Tom also cites Joe Walsh and Leslie West as big influences on his playing. He dates the musical roots of PFX back to 1994\, and Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour stop in San Diego. The band hit the stage in April 1995\, and went on to garner many San Diego Music Awards from 1999 to 2003.
 Gus Beaudoin was born on May 3\, 1952\, and started playing bass guitar at age 13. With almost 40 years of musical experience to draw from\, Gus is well-respected by his peers for his talent and tenacity. Players such as Tim Bogart\, Chris Squire\, Stanley Clarke\, and also early Motown and the Monkees were big influences on Gus's powerful and rock-solid style. Gus has toured across the United States and Canada playing many styles of music\, including rock\, country\, jazz\, disco\, and classical. Gus and Tom Quinn joined up in 1997 and started playing Floyd music anywhere someone would let them set-up their equipment\, out of pure love for the music of Pink Floyd.
 Graham Heath\, lead vocalist for PFX\, grew up in Sherwood Forest\, Nottinghamshire\, England\, and has been singing and recording for the last ten years in the United States and Europe. Graham has enjoyed working alongside artists such as Waz Not Woz\, producer Bruce Forrest\, Jack Bruce of Cream\, and was invited to record by Bill Wyman in the Rolling Stones mobile studio. Recently Graham founded and was signed to One/UK/USA record and publishing company. Recognized as a natural live performer\, Graham is an inspiration and welcome addition to PFX.
 Jesse Molloy\, saxophone player based out of San Diego is a dynamic complement to the PFX sound. Jesse tours nationally with his group\, On The One\, which is lead by Jesse and PFX drummer John Staten. Jesse has toured internationally with several acts\, including the Giant People Ensemble\, and the Jamaican National Orchestra. Molloy has shared stages with many including Karl Denson and the Wailers. He has studied under the great Charles McPherson and Rhett Bender. 
 John Cox has been playing keyboards since age 9\, and is self-taught. In 1976 he bought a Moog synthesizer and formed the space music group Embryo with synthesist Steve Roach and was hooked on creating atmospheres and textures with sound. John cites Jan Hammer\, Beethoven\, Carl Stalling\, and Frank Zappa as his major influences. He has also played keys in the YES tribute band Roundabout\, and the Jethro Tull tribute Heavy Horses. John resides in San Diego\, California\, and in his spare time he loves to ride his GSX-R and Supermoto bikes at track days with his two sons.
 John Staten\, with no formal training\, began playing drums in church at age 5. Heavily influenced by a musical family\, he started touring at age 20 with various funk bands such as Giant People\, and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe (KDTU). At age 28 he tours nationally with his own band On The One along side of Jesse Molloy\, PFX own saxophonist. Within the last 8 years\, Staten has been able to play with artist such as The Allman Brothers Band\, Lenny Kravitz\, the Wailers and many others.

SUMMARY:Peking Acrobats
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4427307/ ] SPECIAL PRESENTATION
 “At no time have we seen anything like the Peking Acrobats! Feats of clowning\, dexterity\, grace\, and strength rippled from the stage... one was left waterlogged in wonder.” — Chicago Tribune
 Since their debut in 1986\, THE PEKING ACROBATS® have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs\; they are experts at treacherous feats of daring\, trick-cycling\, precision tumbling\, somersaulting\, and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion\, flexibility\, and control. They push the envelope of human possibility with astonishing juggling dexterity and incredible balancing feats\, showcasing tremendous skill and ability. They are masters of agility and grace. Accompanied by live musicians skillfully playing traditional Chinese instruments and high-tech special effects that coalesce with the music\, featuring the Acrobats awe-inspiring feats\, an exuberant entertainment event appears before your eyes\, featuring all the excitement and festive pageantry of a Chinese Carnival infused with explosive energy!
 Many of the magnificent acts we see today\, despite their sophistication\, were performed in ancient times. The history of Chinese acrobatics is rich in tradition and dates back over 2000 years. Throughout the history of China the acrobatic arts flourished\, but in varying degrees. Originally\, court entertainments were formal and monotonous\, quite the opposite of the lively\, folk arts of the people. And\, it did all begin with folk arts: tumbling\, juggling ordinary household objects and balancing. Common games of the people\, such as “Rang Hitting\,” or throwing a small wooden strip the size and shape of a shoe sole at a target\, developed accuracy. Modern day Whip Feats are traced back to this game. Myth and religion also influenced the acrobatic performing arts. The Lion Dance is Buddhist in origin. The lion was seen as the reincarnation of a woman\, who was teased into revealing her true identity. This dance was a symbol of spiritual renewal and was also revered for dispelling bad luck.
 Eventually\, however\, the excitement of the acrobat’s amazing feats caught and held the attention of the ruling classes. Acrobatic performers were routinely invited to the court to entertain and impress visiting dignitaries. The varied acts of tumbling\, singing\, dancing and juggling became known as “The Hundred Entertainments” during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). Records of acrobatic acts can be found as early as the Ch'in Dynasty (221 B.C. - 207 B.C.) and Chinese acrobats through the ages have continued to perfect what has become an evolving folk art form. THE PEKING ACROBATS ability to perform the astounding is rooted in centuries of this Chinese history and folk art.
 Tradition demands that each generation of acrobats add its own improvements and embellishments. Generations of families have carried on this highly acclaimed and popular tradition. Children begin training at a young age and adhere to a rigorous training schedule which they follow for the rest of their lives. Today the acrobat in China is considered an artist. Because of the unusual and difficult nature of the feats involved\, high honor is conferred upon those skilled enough to become acrobats\; in China\, an acrobat can be considered the Chinese equivalent of an American opera star. It is telling that the Chinese acrobatic tradition just gets stronger\, due to the continued innovation of the artists and the endless enthusiasm from their adoring public.
 THE PEKING ACROBATS have been featured on numerous television shows and celebrity-studded TV Specials including THE WAYNE BRADY SHOW\, THAT’S INCREDIBLE\, and ABC’s WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS\, NBC’s RING IN THE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY SPECIAL. They have also appeared on NICKELODEON’S hit show Unfabulous and ELLEN’S REALLY BIG SHOW\, hosted by comedian and talk show host\, Ellen DeGeneres. They set the world record for the Human Chair Stack on FOX’s GUINNESS BOOK PRIMETIME TV show where they astounded audiences with their bravery and dexterity as they balanced six people precariously atop six chairs 21 feet up in the air without safety lines! Internationally\, they have appeared on the ARTISTGALLA\, a benefit show that was filmed live at the Drammens Theatre in Oslo\, Norway. THE PEKING ACROBATS are also making the Hollywood scene on the silver screen as former company members were featured in director Stephen Soderbergh’s hit film Ocean’s 11\, playing with Hollywood’s elite such as Julia Roberts\, Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Qin Shaobo\, an alumnus of THE PEKING ACROBATS\, appeared in that film’s two blockbuster sequels\, Ocean’s 12\, and Ocean’s 13. THE PEKING ACROBATS were also the featured performers at the glamorous Hollywood Premiere Party of Ocean’s 13 and they really impressed the star-studded audience with their incredible acrobatic feats!
 THE PEKING ACROBATS are also pleased to announce the tremendous success of their first consumer DVD\, initially released on their 2006 North American Tour and filmed on their 2005 North American Tour as a television special for HDNet. This crystal-clear\, thrilling DVD is available for sale to the public at their performances and on the internet at www.iaipresentations.com. The show\, shot in High Definition format\, has aired many times on HDNet television. THE PEKING ACROBATS® are excited and honored to have been selected by HDNet to participate in such technological innovation\, thereby putting this attraction on the cutting edge of modern technology.
 THE PEKING ACROBATS continue to perform for Symphony Concert audiences across America. Fans will recall that this milestone in their career was achieved when they made their debut at the Hollywood Bowl. They performed as part of the Hollywood Bowl’s Fireworks Season Finale\, where the company blended their unique brand of acrobatics with the majestic sound of the 100-piece Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. The acrobats infused Bowl audiences with their powerful maneuvers in a multi-cultural\, multi-media spectacular. Between the ‘fireworks’ on stage and the fireworks in the air\, audiences experienced theatrical alchemy at its finest! Concerts such as these have led to many other performances with Symphony Orchestras across the US such as the San Francisco Symphony\, the San Diego Symphony\, the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra\, to name a few. 
 THE PEKING ACROBATS have returned to the Hollywood Bowl in three separate outing\, most recently performing with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in September of 2008 with Maestro Tom Wilkins conducting. They were thrilled at the opportunity to play this prestigious venue once again. The Hollywood Bowl audiences so warmly received them\, it was like a homecoming celebration for the performers. Clearly\, THE PEKING ACROBATS are now bringing their unique artistry to a completely new audience with the Symphony Concerts and will continue to do so in the future. 
 THE PEKING ACROBATS have also expanded their reach into the European market. For the past three years\, they have toured throughout the Continent and visited such countries as Italy\, Belgium\, the Netherlands\, and Switzerland. Several of these countries they have traveled to two and three times over\, visiting many exciting cities such as Milan\, Bologna\, and Naples in Italy\, Brugge in Belgium\, as well as Amsterdam and the Haag in the Netherlands. 
 Their affinity for and popularity with European audiences does not end there\, however\, as in December of 2008\, THE PEKING ACROBATS once again returned to Europe\, this time for their Fourth European Tour. Here\, again\, is another triumph for THE PEKING ACROBATS as they share their incredible talents\, abilities\, and culture with ever-widening audiences\, building their reputation as the finest Chinese acrobatic troupe in the world! On all of these European tours\, the performers have endeared themselves to the European audiences and so it is no surprise that they are asked to return there by popular demand\, again and again. The warmth and appreciation of the European people makes THE PEKING ACROBATS feel right at home and the future holds many more such successful tours for THE PEKING ACROBATS’ much to the delight of their growing numbers of European fans!
 A performance by THE PEKING ACROBATS\, therefore\, brings with it the opportunity to view the epitome of a rich and ancient folk art tradition\, highlighted by today’s technology melding the ancient and traditional with the modern wonders of the 21st Century. Therefore\, it is with much pride and pleasure that we embark on the Twenty Second North American Tour of THE PEKING ACROBATS®. So\, sit back\, relax\, and enjoy as our performers reveal to you their mastery of a fascinating and ancient art form\, thousands of years in the making!
 As the Seattle Times reports: "Nearly everything THE PEKING ACROBATS did last night was amazing - and stunning\, and breathtaking and WOW!" and Clive Davis of the New York Post sums it up thusly: "THE PEKING ACROBATS [are] pushing the envelope of human possibility…Pure artistry!"
