Members’ Soiree: The Opening of Misty Beethoven screening

February 10th, 7:30pm - 9:30pm

Center for Sex and Culture: 1349 Mission St. (between 9th and 10th), San Francisco

Some consider it the greatest porn movie of all time — and it’s just been re-mastered and re-released, with a commentary track including Carol and Robert. Starring Constance Money and the late, great Jamie Gillis, and we bet you can’t think of another porno that’s based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion! We welcome all 2012/13 members and donors to come to a special screening of this Golden Age classic, centerpiece of a soiree to thank you for your commitment and support. No charge — we’d just like to see your lovely face and say thanks in person.

(Non-members, don’t be sad! We’ll show it again later for everyone!)

Porn-Star-Gazing: A panel about porn performers & their fans

Sunday, March 3, 7pm
At the Center for Sex & Culture, 1349 Mission St., San Francisco

No charge—donations gratefully accepted

In conjunction with CSC’s March gallery show Letters to a Porn Star: Nina Hartley Fan Mail, we’ve invited some of our favorite porn performers past and present to join us for a panel discussion especially focused on interactions with fans and the public. There ARE no popular performers, much less stars, without fans — but what’s that relationship like? How do fans communicate with porn stars today, and has the increased mainstream profile of porn changed the way fans relate to their faves in the industry? Are there differences between queer, gay male, straight porn? We’ll explore these and other questions! Moderator Carol Queen, PhD welcomes Lorelei Lee, Mickey Mod, Conner Habib, Richard Pacheco, CJ Laing, and others TBA for an in-depth discussion about one of the most central but little-discussed elements of the porn world! Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime gathering!
