Leather Pride

It wasn't very good weather over the Leather Pride weekend November 11th-13th. It poured with rain most of Saturday. Even though we were full,  we had nobody sitting around the pool. Having said that, it was a great week/weekend with our visitors from Australia and Canada helping out with the festivities!!! (and from what I saw, helping out with international relations, if you know what I mean, nudge, nudge!!!).

Palm Springs Mr. Leather competion was held at the Palm Springs Convention Center for the second year running. This year it was held in the main entrance which is very big but does nothing for the acoustics. I don't know what the staff (particularly the young girls working the bars) thought of all these queens in leather chaps and jocks. Must've given them quite a shock or at least something to gossip about.

We were given an award and went onto the stage to accept it to a great round of applause and cheers (hopefully not jeers!). A very nice acrylic trophy thanking us for our support over the years (and our financial contributions I might add). Very nice, thank you. Dave Rhodes from the Leather Journal  took our photo. We'll have to wait and see whether it hits the streets this week. Actually Dave stayed with us for 3 nights over the weekend. Hope he gives us a nice plug! Check out the Leather Journal for pictures.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Tool Shed won the competion. Congrats!!!
