Dore Alley 2024

What is Dore or Up Your Alley? It's a fetish/kink weekend full of parties and gatherings in San Francisco. There's a couple of puppy focused events and I'll highlight them below. For a more comprehensive view of Dore and its events, please take a look at the AndyMatic website. Andy has been working on moving the blog so this year's Dore content is being hosted over on Substack.

If you there's something you'd like to see added to this list or soemthing that warrants a correction, please let me know by sending and email to alpha@sf.dog.
