The short and sweet: Applications to participate in FemSexComm's 4th workshop season are due on January 15th. Online applications and more details can be found on our website at www.femsexcomm.org. Our last info session is next Monday, January 14th at Interplayce in Oakland. We hope you'll join us!


Some more info (less short but equally sweet):


1. What is FemSexComm? FemSexComm is a 15-week Bay Area workshop series with discussion groups in San Francisco and Oakland. Modeled after the long-running and popular female sexuality workshop at Brown, Carleton, and Harvard, FemSexComm brings these conversations out of the academic setting and into the greater Bay Area community — opening a vibrant space for learning, empowerment, and self-discovery. FemSexComm provides a courageous and supportive platform to explore a variety of issues through the lens of female sexuality, including gender, sex, desire, privilege, allyship, and more. A new season of the FemSexComm workshop begins in February.


2. Who can take this workshop?We encourage all who are interested to come to an info session (Spring Date: Wednesday, January 9th). We welcome people of all genders, sexualities and sexual orientations, ethnicities, religious affiliations, political inclinations, abilities, income levels, and occupations. We ask that participants be age 18 or older. Please contact us at femsexcomm@gmail.com with any questions about participation.


3. Where and when is the workshop?Our San Francisco workshop location will be 518 Valencia, the Eric Quezada Center for Culture and Politics. In Oakland, we will meet at Interplay, located at 2273 Telegraph Ave. The workshop will meet every Monday from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, and run for 15 weeks. This season is scheduled to begin the week of February 3rd and end the week of May 12th. Both spaces are fully accessible; please arrive fragrance-free to respect folks with multiple chemical sensitivities. Thank you!

“If you are at all curious about sexuality, identity, power, privilege, pleasure, health, communication, community…go to FemSexComm!  I can’t recommend it highly enough."

Hi there - This doesn't seem like an appropriate announcement for Albany or Berkeley Patch. 1) theRead More category is Announcements/Around Town and these events are all in Marin 2) Patch's "Terms of Use" say "You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate agreement with us that says you can." This is clearly solely a commercial venture, not a neighbor of ours or local organization providing a community service and charging for the service. 3) I went to the Novato website and saw this listing: "Ettiquette (sic) Series for Kids - 17737 Ages: 7 Years to 11 Years - Residents $150.00 - Non-residents $163.00" 4) These items push our items of local interest down and out of sight. Especially now that there is no box indicating the stories with the most recent comments, as there used to be on the Patch front page, out of sight does mean out of mind. Charles, what are your thoughts here? Thanks.

I've been waiting for the right time to donate my son's old bike he used in middle/high school. It'sRead More been hanging on hooks in the garage and this seems like a great time to give it up!

Can you please post their hours / days of operation ? As i recall, they're only open afternoons aRead More few days a week, and it won't do to just leave donations outside ( they'll be scavenged ). And i was not able to find the info online.

Thanks, Christopher. Open Community Hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6pm so anytime those daysRead More are definitely fine. They're there (84 Bolivar Drive - Aquatic Park) most of the day Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Classes and the doors are locked. I just spoke to Amber Rich and she asked you to call them at 510 644 2577 and let them know what time is good for you and they will be sure to be there. Thanks for your generosity!

Thanks for the update but I am worried. This is very distressing. How will Eric and Tarina be ableRead More to afford their annual lengthy hipster vacation if they have to cough up lawyer fees? I am sure they were expecting that UCB (aka the rest of us) would pay Mr. Siegel's bill. Now they may have to resort to staying home and eating Top Ramen out of their charming and cheerful "made in Asia by small children but they're not slaving for 14 hours a day in front of our faces so we don't care" ceramic bowls. Oh noes! Bad, bad, very, very bad news.
