Here is what I loved about last night's HARNESS party at Numbers:
It was surprisingly well-attended, given the time of year. One of the best turnouts ever. Word has really gotten around. I was thrilled to recognize nearly everyone there, and the new guys were clearly eager to figure-out what the warm, friendly tone and the unified and cohesive crowd were all about. By my guess, around 95% of the men there were members of FetishMenSanDiego. We deliver a VERY different vibe, every time.
HARNESS is always stunningly well-organized, in every detail. The CUB CLUB team was sharp, focused and utterly dedicated to providing an excellent evening for us all. It showed. Ned Cato is the masterful impresario, working behind the scenes. He has the Big Picture in his mind, and he’s a superb team-builder. Matthew is CLEARLY in his element, making sure that every detail is just right… A teensy bit obsessive about attaining a perfect result, but that’s why we love him.
Brett and Brian redeem their raffle ticket with Ian and Daniel.
There were plenty of great prizes, and the
evening's event raised money for charity.
Ian is getting better and better at being the ringmaster for an evening of fun that conveys a quality of deeper meaning. All HARNESS parties are sociable, zero-attitude events, but Ian seems to have perfected the form. When he sang “I Want To Do Bad Things To You”, the crowd roared with approval at every chorus, and howled at the right spots. I was astonished to see so many men having arrived fully geared for the “RED AND BLACK MASQUERADE” theme of the evening. I really think that it was the best theme so far.
The go-go dancers were attractive in a very masculine, friendly and hunky way. They boogeyed and shook for our entertainment, and hoped that fans in the crowd would tip them, to show appreciation. I always make it a habit to do so - It’s such a pleasant form of affirmation, and it’s a great way to contribute to the local economy!
Ibi Pupp and Bobby worked hard to make the event a success.
Expect to see these beautiful young men helping out
at more events as time goes by.
They are going to be helping out our brothers with
San Diego Fetish Brotherhood a lot in 2014.
Ibi said "So much fun! So many familiar and new faces.
Found an awesome leather shirt from Eli Correa's stash *drools...
Was recruited by the fabulous MC and vocalist Ian Morton to help out as Ticket Boy. Glad to work alongside Bobby during the event. Cheers!!
To add the cherry on top, I enjoyed one of the best bonding/flogging moments with Papa Tony. He puts the red and blush where they're supposed to go"

Mr. San Diego Leather 2013 Eli brought a table-full of donated fetish-gear to sell, raising $350 for Wish Linda's "Leather Cares Help Fund" charity. I bought a bunch of stuff, and so did others.
The DJ was spinning very appropriate and effective music for the crowd, the space and the circumstances. Just enough of a mix of dark, industrial, and yet nicely danceable. It’s nice to see kinky men dancing, when they simply can’t resist. I wish the same DJ had been on duty a week earlier!They are going to be helping out our brothers with
San Diego Fetish Brotherhood a lot in 2014.

THIS is how you win several raffle prizes: Have arms like an orangutan!
That's Ibi Pupp, selling a fingertip-to-fingertip length of tickets
for ten dollars to Papa Tony, while slave bob looks on - bob PAID for the tickets,
so he gets to share the meals at Carnita's Snack Shack and Wang's North Park...
That seems fair somehow!
The HARNESS party has been designed as a monthly, gay leathermen's Social Ball. Our community has needed one for decades, and it arrived in nearly perfect form. It has only gotten better as the years have gone by. The men who showed up were diverse, super-friendly, and tended to hug a lot, as they swarmed here and there, mixing and socializing.
I hope everybody got laid a LOT last night. Based upon observed behavior, it looked pretty likely!
