Who is your instructor?
A self-described Queer Freak who likes to get blood on its hands, Win (it/its) has never been interested in normal. An Agender/PreBinary person of mixed Lakota and Romani descent with a broad Kink background, Win brings a different perspective to As You Like It. It splits its time between AYLI and its community, and can usually be found in the kitchen, the forest, or wherever there's mischief to be made!
Colin A Bootblack (he/him) learned to bootblack in 2019 and is the 2023 Oregon State Bootblack and 2019 Intergalactic Power Bottom. Colin is a Disabled, fat, black, nelly leather boy (read as big S). Serving you soft butch and hard faggotry! A Mr Sir in mutual consideration to his beefiest service Wüf in training Antifa. He is a resident bootblack at the eagle Portland.
He resides on Kalapuyan land in Oregon. In his spare time you can find him seminal sommelier-ing the locals in whatever town he is in. In the pits at a house show. Channeling his inner PLUR baby under a mirror ball and chasing daddies for sport. His motto is eat gay ass (in the key of eat pray love) and he is excited to get his cubby paws all over your leather and show it all the love it deserves. He flags red left and hunter green right.

REFUND POLICY *Please note, all ticket sales are final, however, tickets are transferable to another party in the event that you are not able to attend. Ticket transfers must be approved and processed prior to the day of the event.
A gentle reminder about As You Like It Events: In order to fulfill one of our core goals of supporting sex educators, the majority of the registration fee goes directly to our facilitators to compensate them for their time, knowledge, and skills. The remainder goes to paying an employee to be on site setting up and breaking down, food costs if any, and marketing expenses. Eventually we hope to have a fully funded nonprofit side of As You Like It that can offer scholarships for events, but for now, we have to charge a fee for events like this. Thank you for understanding.
