How far in advance do your weekends get booked? Right now, I have a weekend event booked for February 2010. But most of the time event weekends are booked four to eight months in advance. See my appearances. Socially, I have a few weekends like Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend booked. Otherwise, I have a lot of open […]

KFANYC
March 9th, 2009 · 3 Comments
KinkForAllNYC (KFANYC) was a real success. Over 100 people showed up for some portion of the day. It was an “unconference” and that means that those who showed up determined what would happen and made it happen. The crowd was a mix of familiar faces and lots of people I had never seen before. A […]

The Magic of DFW
March 7th, 2009 · No Comments
How fortunate that NYC had a big snowstorm on Monday so that Boymeat and I were stuck at DFW airport for an extra 10 hours! We were able to have extended schmoopy time with Kathryn. We had two lovely gourmet experiences: T.G.I.Fridays and Chili’s. We rode the Skylink 5 times and explored terminals C, D and […]

First, take a look at the definition of Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome is a defense mechanism that allows a victim […]
