After the wild success of last year's Genderfloomp dance party, we bring you: The Refloompening. Sponsored by Small Beer Press, io9, and Circlet Press, Genderfloomp is the brainchild Meghan McCarron (aka DJ Buckminster Fuller) and Liz Gorinsky. The Floomp seeks to explore and expand our concepts of gender via booty-shaking.

Gender play/blurring/queering/drag, both in dress and manner, is highly encouraged but hardly required. The floomp is intended to be a space of genuine gender exploration and a celebration destabilizing binaries - participate however you see fit! GoH Andrea Hairston and Charlie Jane Anders will guest DJ, and Annalee Newitz will VJ. DJ Buckminster Fuller will keep the party going all night, or at least until the hotel kicks us out. Keep your eye on our Facebook invite and Twitter feed (@genderfloomp) for more exciting updates! Questions? Feedback? Contact us at genderfloompwiscon@gmail.com.

F*#k the binary: let's boogie.

Floomp II: The Refloompening was held at WisCon 36 on Sunday, May 27, 2012 in the Madison Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, starting at about 10 p.m. and going until late.
