My Techdonkey.com business is moving servers. That means, me with a metaphorical wheelbarrow and a clipboard, running back and forth. It’s a rather huge undertaking, and I’m kinda immersed in it. Yow.

What’s Leather Got to Do With It? Leather Fetish, Sex and Soul
Spoken Word Participatory Lecture
Friday, Oct 2nd, 2009

The world of BDSM often speaks of Leather as an identity, or as shorthand for our passions, but what about leather itself? The hides of animals, our second skins, this material that once lived and breathed has inspired erotic explorers for generations… why? From tools of pain and pleasure to the wide varieties of clothing that wrap around our form and conform to our shape with time- we will examine our tough exteriors to find how leather fetish has inspired leather sex, and in turn, leather soul, identity and spirit… and the term “Leather Community” itself. Bring at least one piece of leather with you- be it a piece of your earned leathers if you come from that tradition, your favorite flogger, a tight pair of gloves, your favorite boots, your old friend of a belt, or something else to inspire yourself or others as part of this conversation towards understanding leather as more than a raw material.

Anyone got one of these kicking around, that I can borrow for a day? Mine got stolen on either the second or the third time my shed got broken into last year. (insert eyeroll here)
