Dark Odyssey Winter Fire

Last weekend The Dark Odyssey Winter Fire event was held in Washington DC. Boy. I am having trouble articulating just how wonderful this event was. Dark Odyssey is such a great event because it brings people from many different segments of our community together into one deep, dark, delicious stew. Queer, Pan, Gay, Bi, Straight, Genderfuck, Mindfuck, Swinger, Kinkster, Sadists, Masochists, Switches, Tops, Bottoms, Slaves, Masters, Mistresses and just about any other kind of subgroup was represented. There were orgies and gangbangs, latex and leather, beatings, whippings, floggings, canings, people getting set on fire and poked with sharp things, kinky costumes, all kinds of nudity, hugs and kisses, lots of fucking, cries and moans, and laughter and tears. Oh, and don't forget bondage. Lots of bondage.

A huge dungeon with tons of equipment was available. Could have stayed open a little later for my taste, but I'm greedy. Lots of wonderful classes were taught. I particularly enjoyed the class on "How to be a Better Top" by Marc B. Marc shared lots of little evil top tricks. I also really enjoyed Dossie Easton and Barbara Carellas' "The Tao of Pain." Go figure. I'm a switch, after all.

A good time was had by all...

Fuck Ken Starr


"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

Ken Starr — and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund — have filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and attempting to forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, 2009, with a decision expected within the next 90 days.

He sucked then. He sucks even more now.

The hell with that shit. Sign the letter to the state Supreme Court.
