MASTER SLAVE CONFERENCE

Last weekend, Boymeat and I headed down to Washington, DC to attend the Master Slave Conference. This was a very well run event and extremely well planned. Much of this was due to the slave labor of many great volunteers. The Marriott Residence Hotel in Thomas Circle was wonderful – new, clean and friendly to us.

We arrived in time for the opening ceremonies, which featured an inspiring keynote speech by Steve Sampson. After that we headed over to Hamburger Mary’s for some great burgers with Bearman, Lawrence and David Palm. Afterwards, we went upstairs to Titan’s Bar, where a Slave Auction was being held to raise money for the NE Master/slave travel fund. We got there and I found out that Master John had bought me Kip. We made a date for later in the weekend. Kip brought me coffee and breakfast in bed on Sunday and gave me a really nice massage. Thanks, Master John!

On Saturday, I taught a class on Multidimensional Master/slave Relationships where we discussed how to relate to each other in many different ways while still maintaining a M/s dynamic. I also did a presentation with Boymeat called “Putting A Boy In His Place” which was quite spontaneous and intimate with us talking about our relationship followed up with an actual demo.

I went to a bunch of classes because the program was really outstanding. If there was a common theme that kept popping up in many of the classes, it had to do with whether M/s relationships were compatible with love and/or romance. I think that question will continue to be debated. There is no one right answer for everybody.

On Saturday night, we went to dinner at Kramer’s with Master John and Beast. Kramer’s is in Dupont Circle, walking distance from our hotel. It is one of my favorite restaurants. I was sorry that we missed the Northeast Master/slave Contest. I wanted to cheer Sir Stephen and slave catherine on, but timing was tight and we needed to spend some quality time with Master John and Beast. The activities at these conferences are valid, but sometimes connecting with people who are important to me takes precedence. Anyway, Sir Stephen and slave catherine won without us there and we were very happy to hear about it.

Later, we went to The Crucible to play. Master John and I co-topped Beast. It had been a long time since I had played with Beast and it was good to play again. More classes on Sunday and then we had a meal with Glenda and Amy, A really nice trip!

TONY DEBLASE SCHOLARSHIP FUND

In 2001, in memory of Tony DeBlase, Aubrey Sparks created the Tony DeBlase Scholarship Fund. The goal was to raise $25,000 to create an endowment fund to give scholarships to “students entering the fields of sex education, sex therapy, research or something that furthers the understanding of human sexuality, especially alternative sexuality.”

The fund is more than 90% complete and needs less than $2500. Let’s try to finish it out. Info: http://leatherdaddy.com/scholarship.html
