Winter FFF News

Hold these dates! Feb 13-15, 2009 for the Winter FFF 32 in Providence!

Our host hotel for FFF 32 is the Westin Providence. All vending, exhibits, and classes will take place in the Westin, along with the pool party and other fun activities. Our event room rate is $135/night and there is a two-night minimum (Friday and Saturday) to ensure that we fill the entire hotel with happy, kinky people! (That's right, no vanilla folks if we can fill every room!) To insure we do not have a problem with "room speculating" as we have in the past (where people pre-book multiple rooms "just in case", then dump the unused rooms at the last minute), any cancellations must be made 30 days in advance of the event. Yes, that says 30 (thirty) days. Cancel within the 30 days leading up to the event and you will be charged in full.

Reserve your room now!
