CYBERNET EXPO GUESTS TO RECEIVE EXCLUSIVE TOUR OF KINK.COM STUDIOS IN HISTORIC ARMORY BUILDING
Live Performances, Kinky Tour Guides to Spice Up Private Industry Meet & Greet
SAN FRANCISCO (February 15, 2008) -- Cybernet Expo is very pleased to announce that Kink.com, the world's largest BDSM entertainment network, has signed on to host a private industry-only tour of their recently opened studios in the historic Armory building at the San Francisco Cybernet Expo conference in June. The private event, called "Make Porn Not War," will be open to registered Cybernet Expo attendees only. Kink.com's Cybernet guests will be treated to an evening of fun, entertainment and hardcore schmoozing while checking out live performances on themes that showcase the various Kink.com websites. This will be KinkyDollars.com affiliates and other Cybernet attendees' first chance to get a close-up look at the amazing location where most Kink.com content is produced. Costumed guides will lead guests on a tour through the San Francisco Armory building, which just may be the most unusual erotica studio in the known universe. Acquired by Kink.com at the end of 2006, this location has a special significance to members of the San Francisco community.
"The Armory is more than just a gorgeous building," said Peter Acworth, Kink.com's founder and CEO. "It holds a world of history. Our conversion of the Armory from a military site into a sex-positive and kink-positive entertainment studio can send a powerful message that personal liberation helps create a safe, sane, and productive society. This is a chance to celebrate that with our affiliates and other industry partners attending Cybernet while showing off the castle that we at Kink get to work in!"
"My jaw dropped when I saw this place," says Connor Young, President of YNOT Network, owners of Cybernet Expo. "The guys at Kink.com were nice enough to give me a tour of the Armory a few months ago. When you see it, you'll know why it's the perfect location for shooting quality fetish content. It's impossible to see this place and not be just blown away. I can't wait to see the reaction of Cybernet Expo attendees when they see this place." Constructed in 1912-1914 as an arsenal for the United States National Guard as a replacement for an older building destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, the Armory is one of San Francisco's most notable buildings and is a Class 2 Landmark in the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to its military duties, the building served as a venue for 1920s prizefights, a rehearsal and set construction space for the San Francisco Opera, and as a spaceship-interior set for Star Wars. Its Moorish Revival style is meant "to convey the impression of a heavily armored and forbidding Moorish fortress," which makes it the dream location for anyone producing fetish erotica.
Now hosting both Kink.com's administrative offices and literally dozens of evocative shooting environments as well as an interior drill court the size of a football field, the 200,000-square-foot Armory is quickly becoming a legend on the scale of Hugh Hefner's 21,987-square-foot Playboy Mansion.
Those interested in attending the Kink.com "Make Porn Not War" tour must register for Cybernet Expo, a three day event in June at the Golden Gateway hotel in San Francisco.ha Early Bird registration will open via the CybernetExpo.com website in early February. Cybernet registrants can visit kink.com/cybernet for details on attending the tour.

www.cybernetexpo.com.??ABOUT KINK.COM - Kink.com was started in 1997 by bondage enthusiast Peter Acworth, a PhD student in Finance at Columbia University. Realizing consensual BDSM games were more fun than finance, he left academia to devote his life to subjecting beautiful, willing women to strict bondage. The result was Hogtied.com, Kink's first site, which still offers regularly-updated programming and an enormous video archive of tightly bound women. Since then, Kink.com has opened more than a dozen popular fetish sites including WaterBondage.com, SexAndSubmission.com, TheTrainingOfO.com, FuckingMachines.com, UltimateSurrender.com, and many more.??ABOUT CYBERNET EXPO - Cybernet Expo is an annual international tradeshow designed exclusively for online business professionals.
