"CLASSIFIED ADS" NEWSLETTER COMING SOON: 

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

I will be posting my semi-annual "Classified Ads" issue of this newsletter in the next few weeks. In the meantime, it's time for you to start writing about your local business. Be sure to tell me the facts: WHO your target market is, WHAT you do, WHERE you are located, and most important of all:

Tell me WHY you are doing what you are doing - what pleases you, what drives you to do this sort of work, and what you would brag about to your best friend if given the chance.  I will collect the responses and post them in a special issue.

I do this collection of listings as a public service. In a crappy economy, it's wonderful to keep our money local, and within the Tribe if possible. Let's support our brothers who share our interests!

A MAJOR NEW SOURCE OF FRESH ENTERTAINMENT

Casey, Aaron and Matthew.

Mr. San Diego Leather 2012 Aaron has been vigorously adding new entries to his blog.

He's keeping a constant log (23 posts in 21 days!) of what it's like to be representing San Diego's Tribe in many cities and communities, using pictures and text. It's entertaining as hell, and I strongly recommend subscribing to his posts. He's planning to run for International Mr. Leather 2013 in Chicago in May, and it's a blast watching him get ready.

The newest avalanche of images and stories concern local events, and his first-ever trip to the Folsom Street Fair:

I couldn't help but notice how skillfully he avoided shallow, meaningless human contact during Folsom weekend… He tells me that he wanted to spend the whole weekend being close with affectionate, accepting and good-hearted people. It says a lot of good things about him.

SAN DIEGO IN SAN FRANCISCO

Plenty of San Diegans made it up to San Francisco for the Folsom Street Fair this last weekend. There are lots and lots of pictures floating around, and I recommend Photos by BIRON as an excellent starting-place.  You can spend hours checking out the photos, and you will be constantly surprised. See how many San Diegans you can spot at the Street Fair - Here are a few to get you started.

VOTE FOR DAN'S PORN!

Dan Guida and I have been friends for many years. He runs a VERY perverse, utterly twisted kinky porn shop that continues to thrive, and he would like his brothers in the community to throw him a few votes, so stop on by and lend him a hand...
