2011-08-24 Upcoming Events

The Men's Monthly Discussion series is off to a great start - We had exactly the right number of attendees (22): not too many, and not too few, with a nice variety of singles and couples. I was delighted to see so many long-term couples there, eager to tell their stories and share their wisdom. For the next discussion, we're going to continue focusing on Long-Term Relationships… We haven't even begun to cover the whole topic. This time around, I plan to do a lot of listening (as opposed to blathering on and on), now that the overall interpersonal dynamic has been established. We are going to continue to hold these events on the third Wednesday of each month.

It has been a long summer, with very few kinkster events to drag us out and into the world around us. As a result, I'm inviting everybody to pack our bodies into the Eagle on Friday, September the 9th. Think of it as our opportunity to get back into the Tribal state of mind. I see a lot of men around the streets who look wistful when they see me, saying "I haven't been out and around in way too long". Well, if this is true for you, too, then you won't find a better excuse to gear up and get sociable!
