NEVER SURRENDER is a recurring party that has taken several forms over several years, both live and virtual. We currently gather every other month as long as desire and circumstance permit.
We are a place to play, to feel safe, and to reconnect. We are a chill space for good times with good people. We are queer-centered, gender-extravagant, and wholesome as fuck. We are a party and a protest, a ritual and a revel. We are a circle of love spitting naked defiance at a world in crisis.
Make loud noises. Leave lipstick traces. Make memories. Talk, play, show off, or just be a witness to the magic. Come as whatever gender you are, wear whatever makes you happy.
We have a big, beautiful space to spread out in, with an open floor and lots of furniture to have fun with! Lots of beds, furniture, lush lighting, and clean facilities. And a chill room for quiet breaks.

At 7:45 we will kick off the welcome circle where we run through our safety guidelines and a consent exercise — this is an important part of bonding and keeping our community safe, so you don’t want to miss it (especially rookies!).
Then we set the scene: chat, exchange saucy compliments, dance, be bravely social. Get close, get friendly, maybe try out something new. There’s no pressure to do anything other than what feels right for you.
🍗 🍿 🥤 🍬 🧁 🍗 🍿 🥤 🍬 🧁 🍗 🍿 🥤
BYOB; sodas and snacks will be provided.
Please know your limits and take a break and/or ask for help if you become too intoxicated to play safely or give consent deliberately. Be aware of your compromised abilities when undertaking activities, particularly new to you or your partners.

We’re wrapping up 2024 by celebrating NYC’s trains and rails — subways, Metro-North, the Long Island Railroad, even the High Line. Live out the exhibitionist or voyeur fantasies of adding some flavor to your daily ride. Linger on the intimate gestures of swiping a MetroCard and cranking a turnstile — or just swing that emergency exit wide open to let someone in. Dress in a tunnel-ready jumpsuit or a commute outfit, or live your no-pants fantasy.
(If you’re already growing excited about getting held by a train dispatcher, take a momentary delay to signal in the #cruising channel on our Discord server.)

Going on 5 years into a pandemic, Eutopia Rising continues to hold high standards for how we keep each other safe. We seek to balance social, emotional and physical need with input, disability awareness and medical understanding in an evolving set of practices to minimize harm. We hosted virtual events throughout 2020 and 2021 as long as we had capacity, and very carefully resumed in-person events in October 2021. We now regularly hold both Solar and Lunar events (See our Rules and Etiquette page for an explanation).
We’re planning several Always Welcome events the next few weeks: a Transit Museum tour, a queer campfire nature walk, a concert, and chats over drinks and food!

Exciting erotic events are erupting in our corner of the multiverse, so we’re assembling the colorful (and sexy) denizens of every available comic and anime world to come together for a crossover event unlike any before! Join us on Friday, September 20 at 7 pm for Eutopia Rising: Super Sexy.
Got a suit? Then suit up for a night of comic-and-anime-themed sexy-fun-action in classic Eutopia Rising fashion. Adorn yourself with spandex, latex, leather, flowing capes, leotards, claws, metal arms, stylish eyewear, outlandish hairstyles, and anything else it takes to turn yourself into the hero or villain of your dreams.
Step into our own Danger Room to test your abilities, hone your skills, and clash with other strange and dazzling folk. There’ll be a fan-favorite takedown demo and other super-feats to thrill and amaze!
If your head is spinning with plotlines you’re eager to play out, take time out of your busy brooding schedule and send up a signal in the #cruising channel on our Discord server.
