Bawdy Storytelling 

“We’ve all done some fucked-up shit,” says Dixie De La Tour: going home with the wrong person, getting in over our heads in a BDSM scenario, sitting through that timeless, endless feature Nightmare Date II: The Boundary-Free Zone. We’ve all also been blown away by indoor fireworks — using muscles we didn’t know we had, discovering mysterious bruises, and waking up too stunned to do anything but whisper “God almighty” to the hottie (or hotties) next to us. Good or bad, these experiences can make for great stories, says De La Tour, hostess of Bawdy Storytelling. Several years ago De La Tour began organizing small groups of like-minded friends (okay, pervs) to share their tales of debauchery. These lusty confessionals became such a hit that she took them public, adding themes and featuring different speakers. Although some well-known names in San Francisco’s alt-sex intelligentsia have spilled their secrets on her stage, De La Tour makes it her mission to get new people under the lights. She says the best stories can come from people who’d never thought of performing in such a venue. Often, hearing other people’s stories makes audience members realize they have something they want to tell — and a willing accomplice in Miss Dixie. — By Keith Bowers
