I thought you would live forever, Andrew

Andrew Harwin died today.

Andrew Harwin RIP

 

Andrew was a wise and spiritual man who was generous with his time and attention. He had many friends.

He was one of the organizers of the popular Folsom Street East block party and fund-raiser here in NYC. He was a member of Inferno and of Delta.

I got to know Andrew many years back when we served together on the board of GMSMA (Gay Male S/M Activists). I knew him as hard-working, kind, friendly and thoughtful.

Andrew was a longtime survivor of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. He bravely battled so many health crises over the years that I thought he would outlive us all.

He is going to be missed.

Save the date: Folsom Street East 2019 is Sunday, June 23

Folsom Street East will celebrate 22 years of gear, kink, fetish and all around in-your-face deviance for this year’s New York City Fetish Weekend, including four days of events culminating in the annual Street Festival, on Sunday, June 23, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on 27th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues.

Folsom Street East 2019

This is going to be an extra special Folsom Street East because it is the weekend before World Pride!

The theme of this year’s Folsom Street East is S.L.U.T.S. Fantasies Fulfilled. (“SLUTS” stands for Sex, Love, Unity, Trust and Safety.)

The mission of Folsom Street East is to celebrate and inspire participation and pride in fetish, kink and LGBTQ communities through the creation of safe spaces for public expression of sexual identities. Folsom Street East promotes and provides grants to other nonprofit organizations serving these communities.

They need volunteers to help run the event. It’s a great opportunity to get involved!

Check out BoundMike at Folsom Street East — he got locked in a set of Irish 8 rigid handcuffs. He is also wearing a Noke padlock on a chain around his neck and, and a metal cock cage!

You can look BoundMike up on Recon. He’s also showing off a postcard for the New York Bondage Club.

Speaking of the New York Bondage Club, be sure to check out their after-Pride party this coming Sunday (June 24) after the parade!
