In Seattle, he has played at numerous venues such as the Monkey Loft, Electric Tea Garden, REBAR, The Last Supper Club, Crimson, Heavens, Trinity, Merchants Cafe, Docs Underground, See Sound Lounge, EMP, Chapel and Noir in Portland.

Michelle R Ferris
Host for Soft Option
Crystals, Gems, Minerals by Crystallography

Michelle was brought on by Karl Kamakahi to help make magic with Soft Option in 2013, and is now partner on the night. She works tirelessly to make the night more interactive, fun, inclusive, and safe for everyone to come enjoy themselves. Michelle loves to dance, loves to smile, and loves to help make events a memorable experience.
As a house music advocate, she helps build networks for the community to work together better, and does her utmost to continue promoting the ideals she adopted from her raver days, but with an update "PLURCARE" (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, Consent, Accountability, Responsibility, Empathy). Less kandy, more community, but nearly two decades later, it still fits.
She is an admin for multiple community-building groups and events, and is a former admin for the Seattle Church of House Music. Not limiting herself to the music scene, she also hosts music/art/gem shows (up next: Crystallography Gem + Mineral Market Spokane: Art/Gem/Music Fest and Crystallography Rock Gem Mineral Full Inventory Show), and is the owner of and purveyor of Crystals, Gems, Minerals by Crystallography.

SOFT OPTION POLICY:
Soft Option is a safe loving space for people from all walks of life to connect, participate, and express themselves as part of the Seattle creative community. We strive to cultivate and maintain this standard of mutually respectful behavior, so please be mindful of staff, security, bartenders, artists, and other attendees at all times.
Those who exhibit racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, ageist, and/or physically/sexually/verbally aggressive behavior will potentially be bounced for the night, barred from future events, and/or face legal repercussions. If you find yourself the target of any of these aggressive behaviors, please alert event staff/security immediately.
Soft Option is a space for all of us to dance, love, and live to our fullest extent. Come equipped with respect and honor for creative self expression in others so that we may all be more ourselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONSENT, DANCING, PERSONAL SPACE, and BOUNDARIES:
There is zero tolerance for harassing, unwanted touches, gropes, grabs, and repeated unwanted approaches. This is inappropriate behavior here - and anywhere. If you behave in this manner, you will be kicked out.
If you are being harassed, PLEASE TELL SECURITY. They are here for you, and will support you.
How do I know if it's consensual?
1) Anything other than "yes" means "no."
2) Consent is never coerced or forced.
3) Consent is negotiated through each interaction.
4) Incoherent people cannot give consent.
To learn more about consent, visit the Consent Academy website and check out their full schedule of events (Michelle can personally vet for these classes, they're fantastic!).
