All Beautiful Creatures Dore Alley

Join us for an evening created for the BDSM community and anyone drawn to curiosity, connection, power exchange, and self-exploration. Whether you're experienced, exploring, Dominant, submissive, switch, or simply curious, you'll find a welcoming space where respect, consent, and authenticity come first.

Celebrate Dore Alley with a special event! Mission Control's All Beautiful Creatures is a play party for women, nonbinary, and trans community members only. Designed to help guests build confidence, overcome classic party awkwardness, and foster meaningful, authentic connections, this is a space where exploration and community go hand in hand.

The evening will be filled with new experiences, from engaging icebreakers to immersive play spaces. The venue will be transformed into a playground of possibility, with play furniture thoughtfully placed throughout the space and hidden opportunities for exploration extending into the garden. Around every corner, you'll find the chance to discover something or someone new.

Charter / Space Rules

  • Consent first. All play must be negotiated and consensual.
  • No breath, blood, fire, wax, bodily fluids, flowers, or messy scenes.
  • No phones. Photography and recording are not permitted.
  • Respect privacy. What happens here stays here.
  • Leave no trace. Clean up after yourself and respect the space.

Icebreaker: Speed Scenes

Break the ice in the best way possible. Instead of awkward introductions, Speed Scenes gives you the opportunity to meet a variety of people through a series of three-minute encounters. It's like speed dating but play. Each round begins with a quick negotiation and, if there's mutual interest, can include a brief taste of play before rotating to the next person.

Whether you're looking for a play partner, a new friend, a future dynamic, or simply want to practice negotiation and meet like-minded people, Speed Scenes offers a structured, low-pressure way to connect. Participation is always optional. You decide your boundaries, negotiate what feels right, and are free to chat, play, or pass at any point. No experience is required—just curiosity, communication, and respect for consent.

Who Can Attend

All attendees must be 21+ and present a valid ID. We understand that your legal name may not match the name you use, and we'll do our best to make the check-in process respectful and affirming.

We welcome and celebrate guests of all sexual orientations, relationship styles, races, ethnicities, body types, roles, and experience levels within the women, nonbinary, and trans community.

We appreciate our cis men, but this event is intentionally reserved for women, nonbinary, and trans community members only. We invite you to join us at one of our other events, such as Threshold, the following evening at Mission Control.

To help keep this event focused on the community it's designed to serve, hosts may conduct additional vetting to ensure guests are a good fit for this event.

Tickets

You must be a Mission Control member, or guest of a member to attend.

Tickets are $0 for Alliance members and $50 for regular members and guests. Alliance members you are eligible for ALLY discounts and your free tickets will show up MAGICALLY in the ticket section. Please select “Ally Discounts” for your free ticket.

Please support Mission Control with an annual membership! Alliance members get into this party and many other events for FREE. Membership is just $20/month or $200/year and pays for itself after only four events.

Volunteering

Mission Control and All Beautiful Creatures events are completely volunteer-run, and volunteers receive free admission! We strongly encourage anyone seeking a free or discounted ticket to sign up for a volunteer shift. They're generally fun, easy, and a great way to meet people.

Get your volunteer tickets on the event ticket page.

BYOB

This is a BYOB, 21+ event. Mission Control does not sell or serve alcohol, but guests are welcome to bring their own. We will provide mixers and non-alcoholic beverages.

All attendees must be 21+ with a valid ID (checked at entry). Please drink responsibly—anyone who appears intoxicated will be asked to leave.

Negotiating BDSM while sober is vital because it ensures true, informed consent. Intoxication impairs cognitive functions, memory, and risk assessment. Because kink often involves physical and psychological intensity, all partners must be clear-headed to define their boundaries, establish safe words, and fully understand what they are agreeing to. Even though we are a BYOB space we would like to kindly remind people to negotiate if they are willing to play while intoxicated. If you are playing with someone you already know and have negotiated this before coming to the space that is ok as well, but please be mindful when playing with new people.

What to Wear

Dress up or strip down—everyone is encouraged to put a little effort into expressing what makes them feel sexy and confident. Wear whatever makes you feel your best. Leather, latex, corsets, harnesses, lace, formalwear, streetwear, rainbows, or anything in between—whatever expresses your authentic self is welcome, but never required.

There is a coat check ($2 tip suggested), you're welcome to arrive in street clothes and change here.

Safety

PAL System: To help keep our event safe and consensual, Mission Control’s PAL System is used. You and your PAL need to know each other well enough that you have an idea of each other's character enough to say "yes, I trust that this person will be a good and trustworthy event attendee.” To attend, you MUST arrive & leave with a responsible partner, your “PAL” for the night. There's no need to be a couple, but you are both responsible for each other during the party.

COVID: We encourage folks to have a COVID vaccination. You must bring a negative result from a same-day rapid test. For at-home tests, please name and date the test result card, and take a photo of the card to present with your ID at time of entry. A limited number of COVID rapid tests will be available at the door for $20 each. Taking a test on site will require a wait of at least 15 minutes before entering the event. Masks are available at the door and we support people who choose to wear them.

Incident Reporting: We seek to create a space that is very safe and welcoming. Please reach out to a host ASAP if there are any consent violations, or anyone makes you feel uncomfortable. You can also fill out the Mission Control Alliance Event Incident Report form: https://forms.gle/qynPQzDBrHwCQX6z7

Need a PAL?

If you do not already have a PAL to attend with, we encourage you to join one of our other Mission Control events that doesn’t require a PAL (e.g., Pink! Drinks, Volunteer Day, Tangle!). Attending any one of these events is a wonderful way to meet other community members who could become trusted friends. Outside of Mission Control events, other classes, mixers and munches are also a good option.

Accessibility

We regret that this venue is not yet fully accessible. While the first floor is mostly accessible, the building is older and is being updated over time. There are stairs leading to other areas of the venue that may present challenges for some guests.

As of June 2026, the bathrooms include an accessible facility, although construction is still underway and portions of the flooring are not yet completely level.

We apologize for any inconvenience and are committed to making accommodations wherever possible. If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact us in advance and we'll do our best to assist you. To support accessibility, play furniture and equipment will be available throughout the first floor, allowing more guests to participate comfortably throughout the evening.

Come with an open mind. Communicate clearly. Respect boundaries. Follow your curiosity.
