ADVANCE PREPARATION:
- Book an Airbnb in Portland, Oregon with a rooftop deck.
- Order at least one pair of NASA-recommended eyewear. Look for certification information with a designated ISO 12312-2 international standard. (Sorry Flashdance fans, word from sciencey types is that welders’ masks aren’t safe enough.)
- Make a pinhole projector. Depending on your choreography, it might come in handy.
- Get your body and the body of someone you like to fuck to Portland. (Or play solo.)
MONDAY, AUGUST 21, 2017
- Before 9:00 a.m., take care of any preferred pre-sex activities. Breakfast or fasting, bathing or sweating. Dressing or stripping. Consider meditation. Any last minute phone calls? Set up a camera or two. Put out some snacks, toys & condoms. Don’t forget a clock–there’s a schedule to maintain. Above all, hydrate, unless your kink is migraines.
- 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. This is your opportunity for foreplay. Zip, clutch, lick, yank, probe. You know what you like. Pace yourselves.
- Whoever is facing the sun, keep that eyewear on!
- Have you envisioned coming as an uncontrollable darkness overtakes the morning sky? If so, edge towards 10:19am. That’s the maximum eclipse. If you’re a quiet type, when the moment arrives, listen. Legend has it, the sun sings a sonnet to the moon as it passes.

And how did that work out for you, Melina? The next time you are heading to Portland, keep heading North to the San Juan Islands.
