2012-09-18 Upcoming Events

There are events from Wednesday through Saturday. Such a busy week! This would be a VERY good newsletter to read in detail. There are new things/big plans/exciting changes coming up that you won't want to miss.

Here's a note from Mr. San Diego Leather 2010 Anthony, who is a leather crafter:

Anthony wrote: "Happy Monday! I had a great weekend. Made & sold a lot of leather gear for guys going to Folsom. I will be working day shift this week if anyone needs something made. I also stepped out after work and attended events over the weekend hosted by Aaron Duke, Eli Correa, Nick Nicholas, FMen SanDiego, Cub Club SD at San Diego Eagle and Rich's San Diego.. Thank you to the hosts and clubs for having these events and giving everyone a reason and venue to get geared up and have fun. Big Hugs! :)"

And, I got this from Dangilo, who took over the LL Bear party at RICH's this last Saturday and made it all kinky-like, with the eager cooperation of many FMSD men:

Dangilo wrote: "I mentioned earlier in the week, when meeting with the amazing crew at Rich's San Diego, we wanted to bring LLBear back to the masculine.scuffy-man, BEAR-centric vibe that it started with year ago. They trusted me with a night that is, "San Diego's Largest Leather, Levi, and bear event" Well, I guess if you build it.... they will come. An absolutely huge amount of gratitude and thanx to my leather brothers & good friends here in San Diego. Last night's, LLBear was a meaty, beefy, furry, masculine romp clad in leather, rubber, and rope. Huge thank you to Anthony Rollar Papa Tony Lindsey Aaron Duke Matthew Walker Eli Correa Jay Heimbach , Sir Ian Lewis, and Scottie Tidwell for the authentic energy and experience level. THANK YOU, this is just the beginning of the new, NEW."

SAN DIEGO AIDS WALK 2012

Hi friends, this year I put a team together to represent the Fetish Men San Diego with the help of the San Diego Eagle. We have currently raised $815 thanks to the support of our wonderful community. We are just $185 from reaching our goal of $1000. Please click this link to make a donation and help us obtain our goal!

RECENT ARTICLES

Review of the First Anniversary STUD Night. The largest collection of men in gear I've ever seen in the Eagle, not counting the Mr. San Diego Eagle 2012 contest in February. Both events had a line outside.

Status Report: What's Going On in San Diego's Tribe - In which I try to explain why the Eagle had a line outside it on Friday night that lasted until 1:30AM, and was filled with deliriously happy men.

EVENT UPDATES

Folsom Street Fair this weekend in San Francisco. Many men will be out of town for it. Come back with lots of pictures, guys! I want to live vicariously through you! I will be here continuing to pay off my surprisingly large and unexpected tax bill, instead of joining y'all in San Francisco.

Be aware that there will be a monthly Leathermen's Dance called "HARNESS" at Numbers on the second Saturday of each month. This will be coordinated with the Eagle's calendar so that people can flow from one event to the other as the desire arrives. Synergy will make more people come out and gear up!

Speaking of synergy, the BELT Party on October 27th will be coordinated with events in multiple locations, like the last time: Start with the Costume Contest at Nightmare on Normal Street, then go frolic at Numbers for the the BELT party, swing by the Eagle for some manly activities, and then (if we can coordinate it), maybe swing by the tubs for a Red Hankies event! Tell me if this intrigues you…

The VIP tickets for Palm Springs Leather Pride in November are going fast. It's only seven weeks away! It's a big, beautifully put-together weekend, and you really want to go. It's an awesome gathering of folks from all over Southern California. I'll be there!
