...for watching porn in a dark room with a bunch of strangers.

We've gotten a few letters like this...

I can't make it to a HUMP screening this weekend. No tickets, no desire to stand in line. I would like to purchase a DVD but can find no information about doing so on your website.

And this...

Can copies of your short films be purchased?

People make and submit films to HUMP! We make one master copy and one back up copy of the films chosen to be shown during the festival—Seattle's oldest, largest, and only amateur porn festival!—and return all original copies to the filmmakers. We police screenings to prevent people from using recording devices. (We've never had a problem, but just to be on the safe side.) After the last screening we destroy our two copies on stage in front of the final audience. We don't keep copies of the films, we don't sell copies of the films. HUMP! allows people to be porn stars for a weekend not for life.

So, no, we can't sell you a DVD of HUMP! 4. If you don't make it to a screening of this year's HUMP!, you miss this year's HUMP! These people lined up for the 4 PM screening are going to see HUMP!...

And there are three more screenings today—at 6 PM, 8 PM, and 10 PM—and some rush seats may be available. But the only way to see the films in HUMP! 4 is to get your butt down to On the Boards for HUMP! 4!

Three hundred people lined up outside On the Boards before noon this morning for the first screening of HUMP...

It's going to be a long day for me, Caroline, Lane, Ross, Sarah, Audrey, the Department of HUMPland Security, and the rest of the gang. We all got here at 10 this morning and we're going to be here—taking tickets, checking IDs, counting ballots, and serving drinks—until after midnight. But, hey, you're worth it, Seattle. You deserve the alternately sexy, hilarious, disturbing, and ennobling porn being shown at HUMP this weekend.

HUMP! is one of Seattle's largest annual arts events. Two days, eleven screenings, each and every screening sold out. Tickets being scalped on CL. Is there another arts event on this weekend that can say the same?

Seattle's biggest, best, and only amateur (and locally produced) porn festival kicks off at 4 PM today at On the Boards. All eleven screenings are are sold out, but some rush seats may be available at each screening. If you don't have a ticket your best bet is to line up for rush seats at least a half an hour before a screening. You'll have better luck getting rush tickets to the 4 PM or 6 PM screenings today, or to tomorrow's noon, 2 PM, and 4 PM screenings, than you will getting rush tickets to one of the 8 or 10 PM screenings.

See you at HUMP!, lucky ticket holders!

Everyone who submits a film to HUMP! gets a pair of tickets to a screening of their choice. Another good reason to make a film for HUMP! But making tickets available to all filmmakers—whether or not their films make the cut—means we have to hold back a number of tickets for all HUMP! screenings until the filmmakers pick the shows they want to attend. Now that the filmmakers have their tickets in hand, we're able to release about forty extra tickets we were holding back. Which means that additional tickets for choice screenings—Friday at 8 and 10; Saturday at 4, 6, and 10—are available for purchase here.

Yes and no. All the tickets we've released for the first eight announced HUMP! 4 screenings sold out in 48 hours. We added three more screenings; one is now sold out but there are still some tickets available for the 4 PM screening on Friday and the noon screening on Saturday. But since everyone who submits a film to HUMP! gets a pair of tickets to a screening of their choice, we had to hold back some tickets for evening screenings on Friday and Saturday. As soon as all the HUMP! contributors have claimed their tickets, we'll release whatever tickets we have left—and we'll announce the release of any and all additional tickets to HUMP! here on Slog just as soon as possible.

“Is he going to turn her completely inside out?”

"Do I have one of those inside me too?"

"That proves the existence of an evil God."

"I can't believe Kelly left right before that."

"It's like Goatse live."

"I've never seen anything like that."

"I'd like to talk to the medical board about revoking Dr. Bloom's license."

"What do you think her job is?"

"I expect she's a smuggler of some sort."

Submissions to HUMP! 4—Seattle's biggest, best, and, uh, only amateur (and locally produced!) porn festival—must be in our offices by 5:30 PM on this coming Monday. (Psst! The HUMP! jury won't actually be gathering to view submissions and decide what's going into the festival until Tuesday night, so if you need an extra night to work on your film... take it. Just make sure we have your submission in our offices by 4 PM on Tuesday, which is the dropdeadline.) Tickets for HUMP! 4 go on sale Wednesday October 8. Watch this space—and that print edition we sometimes put out—for details, show times, and updates!
