Folsom Street Fair 2009

One event that I attend every year is Folsom Street Fair. It is normally the last Sunday in September. I started attending in 2001. A couple of friends from Camp Red Tails invited me up for the Fair. Being a country boy from the hills of East Texas, I was not ready for what I saw. Men and women in all stages of undress doing serious and not so serious BDSM activities right there in the street in front of everybody. I was hooked.

After this year’s camp, I offered my extra bed in my hotel room to Master David and Pup Dave. I had met Pup Dave at camp and our personalities had just clicked. As the weekend got closer, I was able to convince Master and Boy Jake to join us.

The fair is only on that Sunday, but events are ongoing all weekend. Master and I drove to San Francisco from Palm Springs. We arrived just in time to meet Master David and Pup Dave at the airport. It was good to see Pup Dave and interesting to meet Master David. I was apprehensive about meeting Master David. I had “checked him out” through friends and they had nothing bad to say about him (very rare indeed). I introduced the two dominants and let things go where they would go. Two issues made me nervous about that weekend. Would the two Masters (Master Wil and Master David) get along and not try to become the Alpha Dom in the room? Would Master David be able to accept me as a collard boy who owned a boy?

After picking up Boy Jake we all headed to the Hotel and got checked in. We (read Master Wil and Master David) planned out the weekend. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Boy Jake was in shock at the entire situation. He later told me that the four of us were the first men that he had ever “spent the night” with.

My day started early on Sunday. We began with a quick breakfast and onto the fairgrounds before 0800 to begin the setup of the Mans Hand Films Spank Booth. Master David and Pup Dave came along to help. The Mans Hand Films Spank Booth has been in existence for 15 years and has raise in excess of $50,000 for the Aids Emergency Fund and the Breast Cancer Awareness fund. The donation is $1 a lick and $5 a spanking. Most donators drop a $20 in the jar. It is for a good cause and gives you that unique Folsom travel gift; a sore red butt.

Everyone worked really hard and gave everything for the booth. Another Folsom was over and there were 364 day left until we did it again. The room at Folsom worked so well, I hope we do it again. My two worries were baseless. It was great to make new friends and celebrate old ones. If you ever find yourself at the fair, stop by the booth and say hi. You can even drop a donation and bend over.

Pup Dave

Have you ever met someone that had a personality that meshed with your own? Pup Dave is just such a person for me. I met him for the first time at Camp Red Tails this July. The first time we met, he sat down next to me at dinner and we chatted. As a leatherman, the first thing I noticed was the collar around his neck. We discussed that his master, Master David, had allowed him to come and play at camp. That was all I needed to hear.
I have to admit though, pups have mostly pissed me off at leather events. Many pups try to force you into their play. Very few men force me to do anything. I had had a few good experiences with pups at pup Patrick's International puppy contest in 2002 and 2003. Pup Dave is a very unassuming and authentic man. That came across immediately. I soon found myself with him at my feet while I drank coffee and scratched his head for hours.
We played a couple of times at Camp and I had a great time. Camp closed and I went back to reality. Soon afterward, I found that pup had opened a profile on SpankThis Hookups. We began chatting daily. I introduced him to Jake. He had met Master at camp. I offered my extra bed at Folsom Street Fair to his Master and pup. The five of us in the room was tight but I think it worked really well. I got to meet Master David and get his evil stare from time to time. It was a great time with great friends.
Pup Dave and I seem to share the same brain. He and I are near the same age and have many similar interests and life experiences. He sees and understands that I am obedient to Master but dominant to Jake and accepts me as I am. Hell, he has even taught me things about being a submissive.
You will notice an event announcement in the upper right corner of the page. Master David Merrill and Jacob Nathaniel Pring are your hosts there and at the door you might see a pup begging for bacon....or something more.
I guess in my time in the leather community I have found that authenticity is the sexiest thing about a leather dominant or submissive. You can wear what you want and do what you want but without being authentic to yourself, it is just playacting.
