New York and So Cal Bondage Clubs are canceling play events due to coronavirus
Hey fellow prisoners, please be advised that, in an effort to help keep everyone safe and healthy during the current COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic, a number of kink/fetish groups and events — including the New York Bondage Club, the Southern California Bondage Club, LA Leather Pride and Desert Fetish Authority (home of the Palm Springs Bondage Club) — are canceling or curtailing their upcoming events.
The New York Bondage Club said they are canceling their play parties scheduled for the next two Sundays (3/15 and 3/22) and the So Cal Bondage Club said they are canceling all upcoming events, including their play party on 3/14, until further notice. Desert Fetish Authority says they are evaluating each event on a case-by-case basis.

Metal would everyone to stay safe and healthy — and remember, too, that the Prison Library is always open!
The New York Bondage Club is going stronger than ever
You can join the men of the New York Bondage Club tonight — and every Sunday night:
The New York Bondage Club says:
“Each week we play and have new guys coming to the party and getting into kinky fun. Some are first-time visitors, others have been there before but haven’t played, and of course many play all the time. Some come for a free massage, others to get off in the back. Some get naked, some just in underwear, and some stay dressed. You can chat at the soda bar, or get frisky around the club. Experience your fantasies. Don’t be shy, tell the guys what you want. That’s what makes the club work. See you on Sunday.”
The fine print:
“You must be over 18 years of age to come to the club and have a valid state ID in order to attend any of our parties. Please remember that no drugs or alcohol are allowed in our space.”

Suit of armor with metal codpiece
Shown here is foot combat armor made for Giuliano de’ Medici, as a gift from Maximilian I, on display as part of “The Last Night,” an exhibition at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art running until January 5, 2020. This armor dates back to the year 1515. It includes a metal codpiece, which, according to the museum, is a rare thing to have survived all this time!

Memorial for Andrew Harwin this Sunday
There will be a celebration of the life of Andrew Harwin this coming Sunday, Sept. 29, 2019, from 3 to 5 p.m., at the LGBT Community Center in New York.
Andrew, who was a friend and mentor to so many, was a member of Inferno, Delta, GMSMA and many other organizations. He was one of the organizers of Folsom Street East here in NYC. He is greatly missed.
