Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat
June 25-30, 2008

Northern Maryland
www.DarkOdyssey.com

Odyssey Events is pleased to announce that Leather Retreat, which for the
last ten years has been produced by Community Ties is joining the Odyssey
Events family. The first Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat will be June 25-30,
2008 in Northern Maryland. "The response to Dark Odyssey has been
overwhelming and the community it has created is unlike any other in the
country. It just makes sense to bring all three events - Leather Retreat,
Summer Camp, and Winter Fire - under one roof," says Greg, one of the
co-producers. Co-producer Karri adds, "Each of these events has its own
focus and flavor, so that between them, there is something for everyone."

The biggest change will be the addition of Dark Odyssey's unique programming
and special events to Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat. "Many attendees have
asked us for some of their favorite Dark Odyssey elements, like Sex-O-Rama,
to be a part of Leather Retreat. Not only are we happy to oblige, we plan to
bring even more sex to Leather Retreat - if that's possible!" says Tristan.

Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat will continue Leather Retreat's tradition as
the best kink and sex camp event on the East Coast. "Whereas the focus of
Summer Camp is definitely on education, the focus of Leather Retreat has
always been on play, and that won't change," says Lori. "We want to create
a sex-positive environment with top-notch play spaces, creative amenities,
and inspiring events so that people can have a truly immersive experience.
Our goal is to build a magical place where people can live out their wildest
fantasies and dreams," remarked Colten.

Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat released its list of confirmed presenters last
month, which includes Lolita Wolf, Rita Seagrave, Sarah Sloane, Jim &
Jerith, Suzanne SxySadist, Lochai & Janice, and Carrie and Luna, 2008
International Pony and Trainer; the producers plan to announce several
additions to the line up shortly. In addition to favorite events like the
Pamporium, Kidnappings, and the State Fair, Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat
will unveil several new special events as well.

Online registration for Dark Odyssey: Leather Retreat is now open at

Gnome News An anonymous source close to the internal investigation reveals multiple sightings. While these sightings have yet to be corroborated, they are indeed quite suspicious. A “very-short red-capped gent” allegedly purchased a total of 57 riding crops at regional Farm and Fleet stores. A store representative tearfully shares the stress in maintaining riding crop (and other equestrian) stock on the shelves in this desperate time. The dastardly little suspect *may*also have been seen in the company of a leather clad bunch of hooligans. Be on the lookout one and all for this dangerous yet jaunty little fellow!

Panel may rule if sex practices protected Wed Apr 9, 11:48 AM ET



VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A Canadian man who claims he was discriminated against as a pagan who practices a form of sadomasochism will get to take his complaint to a human rights tribunal.

An appeals court rejected a bid by Vancouver police on Tuesday to block a hearing on whether Peter Hayes' rights were violated when an officer refused to grant him the permit he needed to get a chauffeur's job.

Hayes complained to British Columbia's Human Rights Tribunal that he was discriminated against because he is a pagan who practices a "BDSM lifestyle" and deserves protection under the human rights code, based on sexual orientation.

BDSM refers to bondage, discipline and submission and sadism and masochism, according to the court documents.

Police went to the courts, arguing the tribunal and a lower court judge erred in agreeing to hear Hayes' complaint because the laws designed to protect the sexual orientation of gays and lesbians did not extend to protecting types of sexual practices.

A B.C. Court of Appeal panel ruled unanimously that the police motion was premature since the tribunal's hearing was to decide what, if any, sexual practices deserved legal protection, and even the tribunal's chairwoman was unsure if the human rights code did that.

"How can the tribunal determine if BDSM falls within the meaning of 'sexual orientation' if it does not have a full understanding of what BDSM means?" Justice Anne Rowles wrote for the three-judge panel.

Security:Public
Mood: excited

ShibariCon 2008, Chicago, IL
May 23 - 26, 2008

Hey!  I would highly encourage everyone to head over to the ShibariCon site, as the class schedule has finally been posted!  We have some amazing presenters this year, including old favorites like Mark Yu, Jim Duvall, Tatu, Lochai and Mark of DV8 House.  We are also excited to welcome Lee Harrington, Jay Wiseman, Scott Smith and Max of bondagelessons.com, who were not on the teaching roster last year.  These presenters are a small sample of the over 35 presenters that will be teaching a myriad of classes for everyone from the greenest beginner to the seasoned bondage rigger.

In addition to learning opportunities, there will be special events hosted by Graydancer, a tea hosted by Tatu, 3 nights of play, a pre-con trip to Anderson Japanese Gardens hosted by Tatu & Shevah and lots of fabulous vendors selling everything from rope & toys to corsets & shoes.  We even have a wedding taking place at the event this year.  2008 will be a very special year for ShibariCon.

This is definitely going to be an amazing year that you do not want to miss.  Registration is only $185 for 4 days of fun, learning and, of course, plenty of rope.  It is being held at the beautiful Hyatt Regency O'Hare, which is easily accessible by both public transportation and car, along with a free shuttle running from O'Hare International Airport right to their front door.  They have also graciously offered ShibariCon attendees a discounted room rate, so get yours before they are gone!

All in all, I am really excited for this year.  Great classes, great hotel, great people - what more could you want out of an event?

Security:Public

Only 15 days until Frolicon….Are you ready?

Frolicon (www.frolicon.com)
March 20-23, 2008
Hilton Atlanta NE

Have you preregistered?
Online registration closes March 10 and the $50 prereg rate goes away. After that day you can only register onsite for $60 for a weekend badge or pay by the day. See website for day badge prices. (To register, go to www.frolicon.com/registration.html)

Have you booked your hotel room?
The host hotel is sold out; however, they do have a 72 hour cancellation policy, so if you have booked rooms there that you will not be needing, you need to cancel that room three days before your registration begins, or you will be charged a night’s stay.

The overflow hotel is less than a mile away, and we’ll be running frequent shuttles into the wee hours of the night, so don’t let lack of a hotel room keep you away. The overflow hotel is the next best thing to being at the host hotel. And you’ll probably get more sleep, and you won’t have to wait for the elevator. (to book your room go to www.frolicon.com/hotel.html)

Have you decided on your parties?
If not, check out the party page and get ready. We’ve got some awesome parties lined up for you this year. We are also bringing back Flirting with the Green Fairy. Those of you who missed it last year, really did miss a fabulous time. It’s fun and it supports a wonderful charity. (to register for Flirting with the Green Fairy go to: www.frolicon.com/partybattles.html)

Have you figured out what you’re going to do while you’re at Frolicon?
Well, the schedule will be out by the end of this week, so you can get to planning. New information is going on the website everyday, so keep checking back!

Have you sent us your information?
If you’ve received an email from us about registration, volunteering, being on staff, presenting or anything else, have you emailed us back? If not, please do so. The program book goes to the printer’s this week, and we want to make sure everyone’s all squared away.

We can’t wait to see you there!!!

June 19-22

The list of presenters is growing to include almost every facet of sexuality and kink. We'd like to welcome:


Graydancer -Ninja Sex Poodle & Ronin of Love, comes from the venerable rope bondage tradition of Madison, WI, where he honed his craft to become the world premiere podcaster of rope bondage with "the Ropecast". He is also the author of "Nawashi", a novel and audio book of erotic magic.
He teaches, performs, and does other pretty outrageous things with rope and human bodies at events such as Leather Leadership Conference, Shibaricon, Folsom Faire, SPANKfest, the Leather Archives & Museum, Beyond Leather, Austin Ropecraft Symposium, Leather Sins, and many other venues. As a bi poly kinky dom he misses the title "mega-slut" by only the narrowest of margins and currently roams the countryside as an itinerant Rope Top smiting the evil of sloppy ends wherever they may lie."

Jim & Jerith -Jim- a career military man, uses the authority that he has learned in the service in perverse ways at home. He is a former founder and moderator of a Master/slave discussion and support group in the Virginia area, but upon moving to Chicago, can now be found most weekends at local clubs frightening the shit out of his slave Jerith. In addition to influencing and controlling her emotionally, he enjoys the more physical side of the lifestyle, and has given classes on a variety of edge play topics.
Jerith is a devoted slave. She is active in the local scene as the education coordinator for Galleria Domain 2. She enjoys breath-play, both with a partner and solo, as well as being scared to death by her host of various fears. Together, the couple has taught in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Canada, and across the Midwest.


And the rest of the fun stuff!  )

Well this is shameless self promotion that I hope everyone will forgive.

For those who don't know me, I'm Reive Doig, and I co-founded BIO and ran the Vancouver Dungeon parties for 6 plus years here in Vancouver, in addition to the short lived but kinkily acclaimed Cirque de Sade Fetish Night.

Tonight I competed on CKNW Talk Show Idol, and now I need your votes to hopefully win or place second this week for a chance to go onto the semi-finals.

The ultimate prize? A gig hosting or co-hosting a talk program on CKNW for a year. Now just think of some of the sexy subjects I'd be trying to push the boundaries with should I actually go all the way to the finals and win...

So check out the broadcast at http://www.cknw.com/

And then if you think I deserve to go on, vote for me before 3pm Friday February 1st at:
http://www.cknw.com/station/talk_idol/vote.cfm

Thanks,
Reive
