The 8th Annual Dog-n-Pony Show weekend of animal role play events is upon us!
Here is a summary of the events, with more details to follow over the next several days:
Friday, April 20th
SFCitadel open play party, featuring animal role players
8:00 PM - 1:00 AM
Cost: $20
There will be special play areas designed for animal role play.
Saturday, April 21st
SFCitadel Dog-n-Pony workshops
Doors open at 12noon
Munch & meet-n-greet period 12noon - 1pm
Bring a brown bag lunch and spend some time getting to know the other animal role players here for the weekend!
Workshops 1:00 - 6:00 PM
Cost: $20
Our workshop presenters include Ponymistress Rebecca, Pup Trainer Jim, Pixie Pony, and Smash Greywolf, as well as your weekend organizers, Iain and Angela.
Our topics are varied, including: a general introduction to animal role play (for the curious or beginners); tips for animals and their trainers from experienced players; break-out sessions with guided exercises on working with animal headspace (for both animals and handlers); and break-out sessions with guided training sessions for ponies and pups. We also will have an opportunity to learn more about the local Fox Hunt adventures, recently featured on SexTV.
Dog-n-Pony dinner munch
6:30 - 8:00 PM
After the workshops, a group will walk to a nearby restaurant to eat dinner together.
In order to have seating for a group arranged, we will probably ask people to sign up by mid-afternoon on Saturday, so we can call and notify the restaurant. The restaurant has agreed to do individual tabs.
SFCitadel open play party, featuring animal role play
8:00 PM - 1:00 AM
Cost: $20
There will again be special designed play areas for animals, plus special events related to animal role play during the party.
Sunday, April 22nd
Dog-n-Pony "Pets in the Park" picnic outing
Golden Gate Park
~ 1:00 - 4:00 PM
The main picnic and activities are happening between 1:00 - 4:00 PM, though some folks may begin arriving around noon-ish, and some people may decide to stay later. But, if you're planning on just doing a 'drop-in', most of the activity will be 1:00 - 4:00.
Reminders from previous listings:
The Friday and Saturday events are eligible for combined pricing!
You can get one party and the workshops for a combined price of $30.00.
You can get the entire weekend for a combined price of $40.00.
Volunteer shifts availability:
SFCitadel provides work exchange for entry to these events.
A single one-hour shift will get you free entry into one event.
Two one-hour shifts will get you into both parties and the workshops for free.
At this point, there is a greater need for volunteers at Friday night's party -- and two one-hour shifts Friday night will earn you free entry for the remainder of the weekend!
We'll continue to provide more information in listings and postings here, as well as on the Dog-n-Pony website, found at: dognpony.org/
Hope to see you there!

:: neghs and whinnies:: Don't let Spring get her hooves near a water hose.. She drenched several ponies one year..
Someone left one of those press handle water sparys on the hose with the water on.. So Spring kicked at it till the water started to flow and got a couple of ponies wet including herself and she was in heaven..
BTW I told you Spring has a devious side. She got in trouble once at Castle Bar fighting with another pony. I wish I was there at the show right now for I would be being a *good* pony. I miss the shows I remember placing 2nd at Castle Bar of course Windy took first. I miss you all and I wish you all luck at the show!!
Spring likes to play in the mud and water!! I am there in spirit!!
