Ideas for a shoot are cheap: I must have a dozen right now. Even if I leave out the scenarios which are completely impossible due to the laws of physics, lack of winning million-dollar lottery tickets, or risk of physical injury; I’ve still got plenty. But as the previous sentence implied, even the simpler shoots …

Harassment at Arisia
Arisia is a science-fiction convention in New England which takes its name from the remote, mysterious guiders of Galactic Civilization in the “Lensman” books. As such, I find it interesting how they handled a harassment report at their convention. Read the LiveJournal reports – you may find them interesting. I’d like to see this as …
Harassment
Whether it be a fan con or a lifestyle event, from this day forward I will do everything in my power to make sure that every convention with which I am involved has an anti-harassment policy in place, well-publicized, and enforced. For decades, I have been under the impression that fans and kinky people were …
Agents of S.H.O.K.O.L.A.D.A.
A Twitter conversation… [friend]: Awesome thing I forgot to mention earlier: I finally have an official dotgov.gov domain registration account 😀 [me]: I’m guessing I can’t bribe you to register “shokolada.gov” for me, though. 😛 [friend]: *giggles* Not really, unless you can come up with some official-y agency or program acronym that matches 😛 [me]: …
More Debauchery Early Birds!
Just a quick note to let folks know that Debauchery is extending Early Bird registration pricing through Sunday, because they’d love to relieve you of some of that heavy tax return money 🙂 It’s $75 for a weekend of amazing presenters, great parties, a cool play space, and a friendly, perverted environment! Oh, yeah, and …
Secret Debauchery ticket sales!
One of my goals for this year is to talk up events I’ll be attending before the event, instead of after. With that in mind, here’s some advance info on ticket prices for the next Debauchery event in North Carolina: archeopotryx (Feb 8th-Feb 16th -or until they’re sold out-) $55 earlybird (Feb 17th-April 15th) $75 …
Girls with Slingshots
And now, I would like to take a moment and plug the excellent webcomic “Girls with Slingshots” by the charming Danielle Corsetto. I am doing this in part because I’ve enjoyed her work for years and wish to encourage people to support her strip, and in part because I accidentally got to have dinner with …
Why I’m Pleased With FetFest
An object lesson on how wonderful it can be when things go wrong: My messy dessert play class at FetFest had to be relocated to an area with easier access to running water and power. However, we were confused, and relocated to the wrong area. Once we found out, we relocated to the correct area, …
Master of WAM
I’m absolutely stunned: Valentalae of FetLife and Twitter has written a filksong about me! And now I’m hearing talk that someone wants to record it? Whoa. It’s to the tune of Rupert Holmes’s “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” and the original post is on her blog. I’m re-posting it with permission: “I got done with …
My Schedule for Colonial Kink 2012
Just over a week from this post, I’ll be heading to Colonial Kink in Williamsburg, VA to present three classes and enjoy myself hanging out with some really hoopy froods. The event’s shaping up to be a blast, and you can learn more by heading to their website at http://colonialkink.com – but in the meantime, …
