um, yeah.
well this coming Sat is the VonGutenberg FetishBall up in San Francisco.
It used to be called the Marquis America or Marquis FetishBall up until a few months ago (July) when the first one happened.

I'm not performing at this one, unless stumbling around in latex is considered a performance of sorts. In any case, i'm currently in negotiation for the March fetish weekend. It should be settled by the end of next week.

Probably end up going with sokkmonkey and vienna_la_rouge and a buddy from local bar. Hopefully the sokk-ed one will drive, then I can drink. um.... not sure what i'm wearing. maybe another HW catsuit n hood outfit or else i'll go girly with the atsuko kudo or maybe even that white/red Syren thingy. I really do think i should do the heavy rubber though cuz everyone always dresses nice and pretty at these things and i can actually go all out with the crazy stuffs.

In other fun & fetishball-y news, I'm confirmed for April 17 at Wasteland in Amsterdam next year. Going to do a big show using gear from MedicalToys.com and maybe even mirja will do it with me...

I really like the job they did on this video from last April. The one from November is up and it's good too, but it just doesn't have me in it since I didn't go (yet i was going to be booked for it too grrrr). lol. Someone played this song the other night at the local bar and I couldn't stop thinking about the video. hah!

I know that some people are uninterested in my poker life/career but for those who are I've started a blog that I'm going to try to keep running with at least one post a week with tales from my childhood, games I've played in or philosophical/theoretical discussions about the subject of poker.

In short:

Please read my blog, Jokers Up.

Fun knot-tying workshop at Noisebridge. It was a long drive, but nice to see the space and eelcoh, nasu_dengaku, dannyobrien, and crasch. And knots are very fun. I must have a high manual dexterity, b/c I learned stuff really fast. Unfortunately, I tend to forget fast too.

Knots are a great useful skill, if I ever get to design the curriculum for a school, people will be taught knots, basic first aid, and other useful skills long before they are taught crap like "American History". (And when they do learn history, they'll learn it from primary sources, so they can see the difference in viewpoints at different times).

Anyway, here's a good intro page, so you can tie along at home!

I think I finally "get" the bowline - the shape is finally familiar enough that I was trying to do it from an unfamiliar direction, and I still knew what to do even though it was facing a weird direction. Although, now that I review, I'm not sure that my "did I tie this right" function properly discriminates between the bowline and the left-handed or "Dutch" bowline, which is much inferior.
