And any ideas *YOU* have!
Why? I'm a gal who is adventurous to my very fiber, but want people to roll with... Do you? Ya? So let's get out there, have unforgettable experiences, meet new people, and grow closer to master the "have you ever?" game!
ALL AGES & BRANDS of people. Please be similar. Please be different. Please be easy going. Please be high maintenance. Please be young. Please be ancient (we'll carry you if we have to!). Come. As. You. Are.
If you relate to these quotes, you've come to the right place:
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
- Mark Twain
"Become friends with people who aren't your age. Hang out with people whose language isn't the same as yours. Get to know someone who doesn't come from your social class. This is how you see the world. This is how you grow."
- Roumaissa

See all- Visit USS Iowa Battleship!!USS Iowa Museum, Los Angeles, CA
All aboard the USS Iowa battleship museum for an afternoon of history, learning, patriotism, gratitude, gourmet hot dogs at Vicky's Doghouse, and of course meeting new people!
Lift anchor solo or bring the whole family!
USS Iowa is a retired United States battleship that was launched in 1943 and served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War. She was decommissioned in 1990 and donated to become a public museum in 2012.
She has GUNS.... massive GUNS. Are they called guns? I don't know, but we are going to learn all about it! :-)

Kooky Adventures prides itself on cultivating a rare & precious space for people to practice RADICAL AUTHENTICITY. Like Bart Simpson said, "We do what we feel like."
Most will hang with the group, so rest assured, you can experience this to whatever social degree youd like. I’m a big fan of hang together / wander off on my own / reconnect with the group again / rinse / repeat.
As host, I will be accessible to the group at all times, however
Kooky Adventures is a liaison between you, unique activities that usually have an educational element, and other people who are into the same unique thing. Hopefully we’ll leave you with fabulous memories, new friends, and a sense of belonging.
Parking is one hour free, $2/hr thereafter. $22/day max.
THE SUNKEN CITY:
IF WE HAVE ENERGY AFTER THE USS IOWA, WE CAN POTENTIALLY VISIT THE "SUNKEN CITY" WHICH IS 10 MINUTES AWAY. IT WAS AN AFFLUENT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SLID INTO THE OCEAN AND THE CITY NEVER CLEANED IT UP.
APPARENTLY IT IS FULL OF COOL GRAFFITI ART AND WE MIGHT BE THERE AT SUNSET FOR SOME COOL PHOTOS. WE'LL SEE HOW WE FEEL.
We look forward to seeing you aboard the BATTLESHIP!!

WHAT IS BDSM?
Acronym:
Bondage / Discipline /Dominance / Submission / Sadism / Masochism"BDSM involve a variety of often erotic consensual practices involving dominance, submission, control, sadism, and masochism that can incorporate bondage, discipline, role-playing, and power exchange. It spans various intimate dynamics including voyeurism, exhibitionism, and controlled scenerios.
BDSM is a term used to cover a large range of activities, behaviors, and desires that are considered non-normative in mainstream culture (aka kooky - which is why we are going!). Consent and safety are paramount for practitioners of BDSM."
$50 for the day ($60 at the door)
Includes:- Demos
- Workshops
- Seminars
- Panel discussions
- Access to tons of vendor booths
- Souvenir program
$40
"Play Party" (THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BUY AHEAD!!!)
This is where it gets racy. The Saturday Night Fetish Ball is a "play party" which means there is the option to actually participate in BDSM. Your host will not be attending the play party, but please feel free to do so.*** This entire day is at your own risk. Kooky Adventures is solely your liaison & companion to all things unique and atypical that usually involve an educational element.
Kooky Adventures staunchly believes in creating a rare & precious space that encourages RADICAL AUTHENTICITY, the ability to say no and have that be a complete sentence, to not speak or socialize whatsoever if that’s how you feel most comfortable, and BE FREE OF JUDGEMENT for being "different" or enjoying things that are “different”.
Any Judgy-Mc-Judgingtons in our group (of fellow adventurers OR of the BDSM culture) will swiftly be asked to separate and kook-out on their own.
Same goes for anyone being creepy or inappropriate. If someone in the group is making you uncomfortable, your host is happy to field it. She’s sweet as pie, but also a badass. The well-being of all Adventurers is paramount.

Kooks, buckle up. This is gonna be the most far-out yet!
Bring a notebook, cash, a stick of gum, glasses if you wear them (you won't want to miss a thing), a respectful attitude, and an open mind!
