khatsha and I were the organizers of the hypnosis lounge at the Fetish Fair Fleamarket 50. Based on very disturbing accounts
of the NELA board’s handling of a presenter accused of consent
violations and his accusers, we don’t believe that the organization has
the credibility at this point to effectively protect attendees or deal
with consent issues that may arise. Therefore we just sent an email
saying that we will not volunteer at or attend the Flea.
Update: The entire board has now resigned, and a transitional board consisting of veterans including my favourite erotica writer Cecilia Tan is now in charge. This is great news. We'll see what happens, but if they are interested in having a hypnosis lounge at this year's Flea, katsha and I are very willing to run it.
Another update: We have heard from the new organizers and we will be running a hypnosis lounge at the Flea! Hope you come to visit, even if you're only a little bit curious.
