• Upload your photos, slideshows, videos, and other media to the Internet, and write blog posts (don't forget to tag all of these with both KinkForAll and KFABOS).
• View the event's resulting schedule grid and use it to browse through the available media from the presentations you may have missed.

UPDATE: Back-up Venue Confirmed: We are ON for this Saturday at Boston University

Location and Directions

Thanks to the amazing crunch-time work of many university students, KinkForAll Boston has a green light to go ahead. We're being graciously hosted by the fine folks at Boston University, located at 775 Commonwealth Avenue. We will be located in the lower level of the George Sherman Union at the Women's' Resource Center and we will have at least 2 rooms of varying size, as well as a very small rooms that may become designated social space(s). The stairs on the outside of the building (rather then the attractive main entrance) are the best way to enter.  If you are looking at the cammus map, these stairs are located in the center of building 11.

Boston University is on the "B" branch of the Green Line, but is walkable from Kenmore Square, or you could take the 57 bus from Kenmore so you can take the "C" or "D" branch to that stop.  It is also on the 57, 47 and CT2 bus routes. It is walkable via the BU Bridge from parts of MIT, which also runs a shuttle. Here's a printable PDF of directions to the Charles River Campus.
