======= NEWS YOU CAN USE=======
San Diego is blessed with a LOT of younger men and women who are actively working to make our town a better place. This weekend's events are their showpiece. We will be visited by their friends and peers from other cities, including the current International Mr. Leather.
In the past, the Mr. SD Eagle titleholder contest was inside the Eagle, which of course, has been way too small for the increasing popularity and attendance at the contest every year.
The intention is to build bigger, more solid and attractive traditions in town that folks from other cities can look forward to, plan vacations around, and attend with their San Diego sisters and brothers. This is a very worthy goal, so let's all show support. It's just going to get better and better every year.

Reilly
FMSD Discussion Group: “Celebrating the Body Electric”!
Wednesday, February 19, 2014, 7:00PM (Please arrive at 6:45PM to allow time to locate street parking.)
Upper Classroom of outbuilding at Mission Gathering
Reilly from “The Body Electric School” will provide information, experience and a hands-on demonstration of the Body Electric curriculum. The Body Electric experience is an exploration into the erotic potential of oneself that could enhance your fetish/BDSM/leather play & lifestyle. A few benefits are: gaining acceptance of yourself as an erotic being, both physically and mentally; discovering ways to develop a more satisfying erotic relationship with others and becoming more aware of spiritual dimensions of erotic explorations.

FRIDAY: FEB 22: BEARRACUDA San Diego!
From Dangilo: The San Francisco based juggernaut returns to San Diego. Matt Bearracuda's international bear party lands back at the Marrow (formerly Ruby Room). Whenever, and wherever I gogo this party- I have a blast. The drinks are strong and cheap, the cover is minimal, and it always brings the bears out of hibernation. DJ/Producer. Matt Consola; will be back bringing that San Fran Music vibe. The whole night feels different, a good different that can sometimes be missing from our amazing city.
