Congratulations Sir George & boy Bamm Bamm

Hey guys -

First off, thank you all so much for your love and support this weekend. It meant the world to me. George and I are going to be a great team, and really hope to make our community very proud of us. As always, if there is every anything we can do to help with anything, we are totally there. You all know how to reach me, and you can find George on Facebook.

I thought the boys were incredible this weekend. We were definitely making our presence known. The color guard looked great, thank you Rocko for going alpha on us and getting it arranged. A very special thank you to Alan for his work as contestant handler backstage… he said he didn’t think he did much, but he put up with a lot of crap, and he was there for me when I needed a hug. Thanks to Marcus for serving as Judges boy, and Joseph for serving as a judge. Thank you to Bob, for assisting Steven Bloom in his wax demo with me on Friday night… I was really glad to have someone I knew there in the scene. Finally, to Loki for schlepping me to brunch when my tires went BOOM, and giving awesome hugs and encouragement throughout the weekend. I am sure I missed someone, but seriously look at how our group of boys impacted this weekend. What a great demonstration of our service heart. Yet another reason why we are the best boy group around!

Finally, I had volunteered to bottom for the Fire and Ice demos for Bill Mitchell’s electro demo. I was chatting with Alan yesterday, what if we set up George to do a cigar play demo out on the patio during the Fire and Ice night? Alan has said he would be happy to bottom for that. Thoughts?

Thank you again for everything, I am so proud to be a member of this group of awesome men.

Yours in service,

boy Bamm-Bamm

Hanky Demo Night

Hanky Demo Night @ Apex

Ever since men and women have had clandestine sexual desires, their has been question of how to accurately and secretely display our erotic tastes to the trained observer so that mutual satisfaction could be enjoyed by all. In the mid 20th century, with the surge of gay men returning from post-World War conflicts, sexual propositioning among same-sex attracted men became codified into a colorful Hanky Code which allowed men to seek out their sexual desires of their choice. This class will explore the history of that code and of the leather movement in the gay men’s community as well as some of those fetishes.
