Of all the sexy events we don't get to attend every year due to our enforced isolation in the Fleshbot porn blogging compound, Seattle's HUMP! Festival is one we regret missing the most: in order to encourage participants to submit their most uninhibited film and video entries without having to worry about that harpy in Human Resources seeing their naughty bits splayed all over the interweb at some point, all submissions are destroyed in front of the audience at the end of each year's program. Which means that those of us who didn't manage to make it to Seattle last weekend missed out on all those "couches doing the nasty, sex on roller skates, aliens fucking predators, hot straight foot-fetish videos, sex machines taking over the world, sweet and oily robot love ... come shots in SAM's Olympic Sculpture park, an evil gay genius doing scorchin' hot boys under the Space Needle, and ever so much more."
So we're psyched to see that at least a few of the clips from this year's HUMP! festival managed to make it online courtesy of their producers, including audience favorite "Alien Fucks Predator" (guess what that one's about?) and hardcore category winner "Everyone Likes Candy", a BDSM raunchfest that happened to be the only girl-on-girl entry in the competition. Of course, we'd love to have all the submissions on DVD so we can have our own screening sometime and join the fun, but we totally respect the decision to keep them under wraps. At least it gives us one more reason to visit Seattle next year. (Assuming we can figure out a way to escape from our porn blogging dungeon, that is. We've been trying for years now, and it's a lot trickier than you might think.)
