2012-03-20 Upcoming Events

I'm going up to be in the LA area for LA Fetish Pride 2012 this weekend, attending plenty of events and enjoying life, with everything culminating in the Mr. LA Leather 2012 contest. I plan to snag plenty of photos. If I weren't already committed to going, I would be attending the Mr. San Diego Bear 2012 contest at the Hole this Saturday, followed by the Underwear Party and contest at the Eagle, hosted by Mr. San Diego Eagle 2012 Eli.

I've been hearing from a good number of guys who are planning to attend the Men-Only Beat And Greet on the following Friday. The crowds are growing in number, and it's always a very warm and welcoming space. This last time, we had a huge amount of newbies, and they ALL left wearing big, satisfied smiles.
