Upcoming Events

I'd like to see whole BUNCH of San Diegans showing up for the Leather Pride events this week - If you rarely go out much, you can't find a better reason to make an exception. We've got some great contestants for the Mr. San Diego Leather 2011 contest this Saturday. There will be out-of-towners in the audience, and I'm pretty certain that they'll be looking to get very well-acquainted with San Diego men!  :->

Congratulations to Beanstalk, our newest Ms. San Diego Leather for 2011. She was magnificent, and obviously has everything she needs to go as far as she her dreams can take her. I was mesmerized by her presence, presentation and comfort-level on stage.

I'm deeply proud of the men from FMSD who volunteered so enthusiastically to help out at the Ms. San Diego Leather events. I had very little time to chat with them, because they'd whisk off to handle some other task after a minute or so. Some even helped model for the auction items.

If you get a chance, please reply to this message, and share some feedback about anything to do with FMSD, good and bad. We're at the part of the annual event-cycle where everything gets really busy. Your input will be help guide the plans for the next phase. We're currently at 848 members, and the events this week should easily add another 100, given the crowds coming out for Leather Pride. The more of us who are getting useful and timely info, the more cohesive we can be when it really matters.
