Leisure & Pleasure
OSPN Bowling
It’s always fun, and there’s something delightful about the clatter of tumbling pins and the strangeness of wearing shoes only 1,000 people have worn before. Folks 50 years and older and their allies bowl a few frames. For more information, contact georgis@rogers.com.
Monday, Nov 9, 6:30pm. West Park Lanes, 1205 Wellington St W. ospn-rfao.ca
Parties
Diversity Dance Party
Just over the river there’s a dance party for a mixed crowd in a charming, rustic microbrewery. In the heart of Old Hull, revellers flirt and dance the night away to DJ Martin Leguerrier’s hot beats. Some of the profits will go to a good cause: Jeunesse Idem.
Saturday, Nov 7, 11pm. Gainsbourg, 9 Aubrey St, Gatineau. facebook.com/gainsbourglegionnaire
Throb
DJs Chris Murray and Ashley Gauthier wanted to organize a party that’s all about intense music and dancing and that is unapologetically gay — guys-making-out-everywhere kind of gay. To kick things off right, the inaugural edition of this new monthly party features DJ Deko-Ze.
Friday, Nov 13, 10pm. 310 Dalhousie St. throb.club
Sex
Going Down: A Guide to Fellatio
The penis has few joys, but now and then he gets to pop into a warm, soft mouth. So it’s important that the mouth knows what to do once he’s in there. This workshop covers the ins and outs (and ins, and outs, and ins . . . ) of sucking cock. Open to all genders and orientations.
Monday, Nov 2, 6:30pm. Venus Envy, 226 Bank St. venusenvy.ca
The Big O

Knotty Fun: An Intro to Rope Bondage
