Note from Tony: We're up to 896 members as of March 23, on various forms of social media, mostly on the email list. I REALLY wanted to take us over 900 this last weekend, but I ran out of steam! In a year, I expect that we'll be at over 2,500 members at the current rate. Everybody wants to be on the winning team, so it's getting easier and easier to add new men to the list. Even better, it's getting easier and easier for the newest faces among us to fit right in. As I keep saying, QUANTITY is nice, but the QUALITY of brotherhood, acceptance and good-heartedness is the real point.
There are a few new plans in the making that haven't been announced yet, for later on in the year, but in the meantime, let's just keep building momentum and solidifying our monthly traditional events. We're on a really good ride, and I don't want to mess it up by throwing too many variables at everybody.
I'm planning to attend the Dore Alley/Up Your Alley Street Fair this year. It's not really in the budget, but I have certainly enjoyed Dore Alley and Folsom Street Fairs in the past. I can bend the budget for something that nice, and so should you.

Approximately 300 men come cycling through the bar during the course of this event on the second Friday of each month, and many of us are dressed (or undressed) to impress! Here are a few reviews, if you haven't been to one yet. This month's theme is FULL LEATHER. If you've got it, we really want to see it. Before much longer, it'll be too hot to get fully layered up! Here are some pictures from October, February and March. Notice how HAPPY everybody is. You deserve to be that happy too.
