Anyone attending Folsom Street East, drop by my book table and say hello. I will be with Rubber Rebel Russ and the GuyzinGear gang.

Getting used to the Third Shift deal, even if it means that it's almost 2:30 AM and I'm wide awake. I did take in Iron Man 2 (average, where the first was flawless) and now would like to see "Super 8" which has an interesting trailer.

Reposting from Lolitasir and Nice-n-evil.

Hilton and his crew are great folks and have supported me often though the years.

This is a repost from

lolitasir 's live journal. Please repost it to yours if you'd like.

It's about the possibility that Purple Passion might have to close!
The owner, Hilton, is a BIG supporter of Leather/kink communities (in addition to other charities, such as holiday toy drives for needy children) and he has been for a long, long time - he is a big part of NYC's Leather History. He has a great store with excellent staff, and he himself is a person of genuine and good character.

If you have been thinking of buying any sort of sex toy, fetish garment or footwear, S/m implement, porn, BDSM-related book, etc., please do so NOW, and buy it from Hilton. It would be a terrible loss for the Leather community - and for Hilton and his staff and their families - if there was no more Purple Passion.

Now here's the part I've copied from

It was really a delight to see the number of law enforcement officials at the NY Pride parade who seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves. Here are a few pics I took while riding the CORE float.
