Go Back

On November 28th, 2010, at 4PM at the Flame, FetishMenSanDiego will host our first ongoing, monthly dance-party that will be held on the fourth Sunday of each month.

It will be called FETISHMEN TEA DANCE. That's not the big news.

This is:

The theme of our kick-off event is "IN LOVING MEMORY". Let me explain:

In order for gay fetishmen to move powerfully into the future, we have to acknowledge our past. Gay leathermen were the first to start dying of AIDS, and we were hit the hardest.

This fact has robbed us of many of our best leaders, mentors and role-models. It broke our momentum as a thriving community, and crushed the souls of too many survivors.

It's time to deal with it, and powerfully. Together. NOW.

We do it by dancing joyfully. Many of our brothers can't dance any more, and they won't be coming back, no matter how much we want them to. So, we dance for them.

Bring your friends, and carry the spirits of your brothers in your heart. Go wild. Every song will be a celebration of life... High spirits, wide variety, Diva Overload.

We want every age, every color, every body-style, every experience-level. There will be men and women of all kinds at the November event - We all need to express powerful feelings of loss and remembrance through dance, and we all benefit by sharing.

We will be unified as a community by honoring our loved ones. Be like a happy three-year-old: dance with no cares or concerns.

Please spread the word, by forwarding this email far and wide - Let's jam the place. Let's make this MEAN SOMETHING, once and for all. I could use some healing, and I'm not the only one.

This event is free of charge. There will be a request for a $5 donation to Mama's Kitchen, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Come and be welcome.
