This time of year can be a challenge. All of our good intentions for a brighter and bolder new self somtimes collides with our old nonsense, tripping us up. And the weather is not helping one bit.

But just when you think you’re beat, that’s when you need to reach out. Let the healing power of interaction lift your spirits so that you may continue forth and make a positive impact on our world.

Comfort & Joy invites you to give and receive a Touch of Love.

To begin, feel the welcoming door vibes from Kokoe, Biscuits and the Huggies.

In the main room, you will be graced by blacklight art wizard and C&J Artistic Director Chickpea’s latest installation.

We are highlighting our fabulous resident DJs: Hil Huerta, Homero Espinosa, and Allen Craig (bios below).
Besides helping keep Comfort & Joy parties a supersonically groovy situation, they also run Moulton Music, providing gorgeous house music to SF and beyond.

Join us at 11:45 for a touch of performative ferocity courtesy of Devlin Shand, Moment, and more! Also, enjoy pop-up vocal stylings from Moulton vocalist Tobirus Mozelle throughout the evening.

In the Miami Room, C&J’s Art Committee presents Cuddles in Space!

Blast off to new levels of intimacy! Featuring local art, massage by Scott Robinson, tea time, cuddle place, face painting by Ismael Acosta and more, and intergalactic neon vibes. Relaxing soundtrack by our own J.Maximilian.

Downstairs, explore just how far you a Touch of Love will take you in our exquisitely appointed playspace, with sexy beats by Boom Human and Ivan.

Join us at 10:30 for Stepping Into Your Hottest Self- How to Feel Sexy and Confident at a Play Party, presented by teaching dynamo, Gender Blender co-founder, and all-around bad ass Ariel Vegossen.

Just remember: Ask, Listen, Respect. Our Vibe Rators will be circulating to ensure y'all are in good hands.

Waves of Fruit Service throughout the evening, for that touch of refreshment.
