The pivotal addition of bleachers to Ultimate Surrender's new set in the Armory has transformed the already competitive sexual wresting website into a full-fledged spectator sport. After testing out the live audience concept with employees and their guests once or twice, Director Matt Williams was thrilled to finally be able to extend the invitation to the most logical group of fans out there: the website's members. So at the recent Tag Team match that pit Dia Zerva & Annie Cruz against Ariel X & Samantha Sin, we caught up with the first 3 members fortunate enough to join the live audience and spoke with them about what it was like to be given a front row seat to their ultimate dream-come-true fantasy.

A not-for-profit and private adult membership organization, the Lifestyle Alternatives Centre of Palm Beach (LAC) is celebrating 4 years of serving its membership, guests and alternative lifestyle communities by providing access to relative art, culture, history, information, education, support, social networking and entertainment through a minimum of 10 events and activities scheduled each month. It's also celebrating two years in its current 4300+ square foot facility.

Lew will be giving a special performance at the DARK ("Dungeon And Real Kink") kickoff party at the LAC location on Friday, September 12th. Then, on Saturday, September 13th, he'll be presenting at the half-day SkillsFEST event, 11am to 5pm, teaching Beginning Bondage, Classic Bondage Positions (hogtie, spread eagle, frog tie, ball tie, etc), and giving a two-hour workshop on Beginning Rope Bondage Suspensions. If you've ever wanted to learn the basics of suspension bondage, this is a great time to do it — Lew can't make you an expert in two hours, but you can get a sense of whether you want to put in the time to learn this creative, exciting and invigorating form of bondage. Domina DeManda will also be teaching Saturday at SkillsFEST, teaching on temporary and permanent marking, and leading a lifestyle & community Q&A and discussion.

Immediately after Saturday's workshops, hit the South Florida Munch nearby for a low-key social gathering for those interested in alternative lifestyles, held in a local restaurant. Those attending Saturday's workshops also get free admission to the legendary Alter Ego party by South Florida fetish boutique Fetish Factory on Saturday night. Alter Ego is widely regarded as one of the best regular fetish parties in the world and this month's theme is Fetish Apocalypse, so get out your fetish finest attire! Then, closing out the weekend on Sunday, Lew will be rigging for a private photo shoot of the LAC's Photo Artisans Guild.

The weekend's sponsors are are Fetish Factory, Women of Leather Florida, South Florida Munch, Shibari South Florida and, of course, Kink.com. These fine organizations are working with the LAC to support the greater good of alternative lifestyle communities.
