GIVEAWAY: Win Tickets to Dan Savage’s Amateur Porn Festival HUMP!
“Savage Love” columnist and outspoken LGBT advocate Dan Savage is bringing his dirty movie tour, HUMP!, to Philadelphia for the very first time this weekend. The film series includes 17 risqué flicks made by everyday folks from the Northwest who were challenged to “become temporary, weekend porn stars by making their very own five-minute dirty movies.”
We call HUMP! an amateur porn festival, but Savage says it’s really more than that: “It’s rare for people to watch porn that takes them outside their comfort zones—it’s rare for people to watch porn that, if they were home alone in front of the computer, they wouldn’t choose to click on and watch. At HUMP! straight people watch gay porn, vanilla people watch kinky porn, gay people watch lesbian porn. And people laugh, they gasp, sometimes they cover their eyes. But at the end of every film people clap and cheer. It’s moving and wonderful and newcomers don’t expect it. The whole festival is a celebration of sexual diversity.”
Never one to pass up a good celebration of sexual diversity, we’ve wrangled two pairs of tickets to give away to this weekend’s event. Winning is easy: Just be the sixth and ninth person (see what I did there?) to email jmiddleton@phillymag.com with the subject line “I want to celebrate my sexual diversity!”
The festival takes place on February 21st at Union Transfer, with showtimes at 6 p.m., 8:15 p.m. and 10 p.m. Savage will be there to host. For tickets, which run $18 to $20, and more information, go here.
