Invitation to participate with NLA Utah

So now that we've all had some time to process the weekend and watch the hot gear at the football game, I wanted to share an invitation extended to us as a group. I met with a few members of the National Leather Association, Utah Chapter and they have extended us the invitation to attend some of their events and bring more of a Gay Men's presence to the group. I will link their website in the comments of this post so please feel free to browse their site and check out the calendar for a lot of the Leather Events in the State. I hope we will be able to work with this group on an ongoing basis to really help educate and promote leather and kink in Utah. Thanks everyone for all of your support!

Inaugural Boy Auction 2012

Hey Leather and gear kinksters. I am so excited to announce our first annual Boy Auction will be held at Club Try-angles on June 1st, to help raise funds for our Utah titleholders to head to San Francisco to compete in the 2012 International LeatherSIR and boy contest.

The event will begin at 8:00 PM with bidder and boy registration. Boys volunteering to be auctioned are asked to be able to commit to the night of the event and at least an hour on either saturday or sunday with their winning bidder at the Pride Festival. I want to emphasize you are NOT obligated to have any type of sexual contact with your winning bidder. You are merely arm candy and we don't want you to put yourself into any type of uncomfortable or unsafe situation at all. That said, what you do with your winning bidder is up to you.

Here is how it will work: boys or Sirs can pre-register as a volunteer Auction Block item by emailing me SirCreig@utahleather.org with the following information

A Good face picture (Gear pic preferred but not required)
Your Legal Name
Your Stage name if you have one or want one
Phone number or email address (For club officers to contact you only)
Some kink interests
A brief bio or some fun facts about you
Anything else that you think can win you the highest bids

We would like to post your picture and bio, and Stage name on this website if you are comfortable with that so that people can start saving up for their favorite boy.

On the night of the event, we will have each boy sign an agreement that basically states that you are doing this on your own free will and it's to raise funds for a non-profit and in no way is a contract for sexual activity or ownership. Bidders will sign a similar agreement.

Bidders will be able to buy "boy bucks" for use of "buying" their boys. We cannot take cash bids for the auction. Bidders will need to purchase "boy bucks" from the Auction registration table.

Then we will encourage our boys to mingle with the club guests, other boys and sirs etc, and then at 11:00 We will be opening up the auction block. Each boy will be introduced and shown off for bidders to fight over. We encourage all boys to wear whatever gear they feel will get them the highest dollar. All boys must comply with Utah law when it comes to dressing for this event. (Butt crakes covered, no cock hanging out etc, email me if you have questions about what's appropriate or not.) I will tell you that from some events we have seen in the past of this nature, the boys tend to like to undress a little as the bidding goes on to reveal a harness or rubber tank etc. Have some fun with this but keep it appropriate. The club has been so good to us and we want to be able to continue having fun events like this.

Once a boy has been auctioned, they will meet their winning bidder at the Auction Registration table where the bidder will hand over their boy bucks. I emphasize again, we CANNOT and WILL NOT accept cash bids. Please make sure you have adequate "boy bucks" on hand before completing your purchase. We ask that boys then spend the remainder of the evening at the bar with their winning bidder and we encourage the boys to arrange to spend an hour or so with their winning bidder at either the Pride Festival on Saturday or the Sunday Parade.

If you aren't able or feel uncomfortable being "sold" at auction, that's fine we can still use your help. We will need some volunteers to help with the running of the auction manning the check-in etc so please please let me know if you want to help and we will find a place for you. We are also going to need everyone's help getting the word out about this event. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Rocky Mountain LeatherSIR/boy and Community bootblack travel fund.

I am so excited for this event and hope to see all of you there. Please let boy darin or myself know if you have any questions and lets make this a great event for all.

Brothers always

Leather & Gear Night

Hey Everyone, just a reminder for those who are not going to Smokeout this weekend, It is our monthly Leather & Gear Night. Friday, April 6th, 10:00 PM at Club Try-Angles. Hope you all can make it out to this great event. What would you guys think about adding a demo night to our Leather & Gear Night in May? Let us know.

boy darin

I have updated the WaMboL Events Calendar. If you have an event you would like to submit to the calendar please email me at boydarin@utahleather.org

WaMboL Gear Night

Hey everyone its Leather & Gear Night this Friday, March 2nd. Dress in your favorite leathers or fetish gear and come have some fun. If you don't have gear come anyway and meet your fellow leathermen and gear heads. :-)

An Important lesson learned the hard way

So angry right now. So I am a member of the Utah Kink group on Fetish zone. We've had a member there who is now facing legal trouble from a scene where he went out of his range of skills and abilities and ended up injuring the sub. I cannot stress the importance of the following statement:

IF YOU DON'T KNOW A SKILL SET, DON'T REPRESENT YOURSELF AS KNOWING IT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF PLAY.

A good Dominant or submissive for that matter communicates to their partner an accurate account of what their experience is and both partners mutually agree before the scene is even set up what expectations are and what risks are involved. As a Dominant in the scene, I make it very clear what I will be doing and what my limitations are. It is our RESPONSIBILITY as Leatherfolk to let a submissive know when we are not able to help them explore something and help them to find a responsible and educated person to help them with that. You will build a better rapport with your sub and the rest of the community if you do that. You by no means are expected to know and be fluent in every aspect of play so don't try to be.

I promise that no Master will ever claim to know everything about anything. Please please please be careful in your play to keep things fun and safe. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask someone in our community. We will never judge you or think differently of you for wanting to learn.

This poor guy now has possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars in reparations he will need to pay because he was not up front about his abilities to his partner. Accidents do happen, and we try our best not to let them happen, but please do what you can to be safe and understand and communicate the risks with your partner. I'd hate to have this sub scared to try another scene again because some ass hat decided to portray himself as more experienced than he really is.

WaMboL Gear Night

Its time for the Men and boys night out. JOin us to help celebrate the official announcement of 2012 Rocky Mountain LeatherSir Sir Creig and 2012 Rocky Mountain Leatherboy boy darin. Fun begins at 9:00 PM at Club TryAngles.

Formal Announcement of Rocky Mountain LeatherSir/ Leatherboy and Community Bootblack

Congratulations to the new RMLSb/CBB 2012 Titleholders
Rocky Mountain LeatherSIR - Sir Creig
Rocky Mountain Leatherboy - boy Darin
Rocky Mountain Community Bootblack - Jareth

New Producer, Brian Conway. is proud to announce the Rocky Mountain Leather Sir/boy contest. The Leather Sir/boy contest grew out of the now defunct International Mr. Drummer & Drummer boy contests started decades ago before by Drummer Magazine in San Francisco, CA.These contests began then and remain today a celebration of male leather sex and leather sex play. The primary goal of the contest winners and of the titles themselves is education, networking, and outreach expressing the eroticism, traditions, and history of gay leathermen worldwide.

The Leather Sir/boy contest is open to gay leathermen and leather boys living in the Rocky Mountain Region of the U.S. (Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming). The contest categories include a judged interview, formal speech, physique (expressed by contestants in jock straps), and performance of a leather sex fantasy. Contestants may be sponsored by a club, business, individual or may be self sponsored, but all contestants must agree to the list of specific contestant qualifications. 

As part of the leather weekend we will also host a competition for Community Bootblack. Unlike the Leather Sir/boy contest, Community Bootblack is open to any person of any gender identity. Bootblacks will be judged on interview, formal speech, technical bootblacking/shine abilities, and interpersonal skills/observation. This contest also focuses on the sexual aspects of the exchange between the bootblack and the customer. 

The winners of both the Leather Sir/boy contest and the Community Bootblack contest will be obligated to compete at the International Leather Sir/boy/CBB competition the following year. The international contest will follow the same judging criteria as the regional contests except at the International contest, each region will receive a specific theme around which to build their “fantasy” for the fantasy aspect of the competition. There are 16 separate regions in the U.S. Regional winners must also appear back at the regional contest the following year to present the title to the next year’s winners. Titleholders will be expected to serve as ambassadors for their region and are expected to travel to other leather events around the world to promote the leather philosophy and lifestyle as well as to reach out to those who are curious or new to the scene to provide for them a conduit into the community. 

It is with great honor that we introduce to Denver and the Rockies the Rocky Mountain Leather Sir/boy contest and the Community Bootblack Contest. We encourage you to get in on all the fun by attending, and for those of you who are interested and meet the entry criteria, we encourage you to compete! 
Rocky Mountain LeatherSIR and Leatherboy serve as ambassadors: for their region; for their LeatherSIR / Leatherboy family; and, when travelling abroad, for their leather community. Titleholders are encouraged to attend leather and gay community events in the region; promote the LeatherSIR / Leatherboy / Community Boot Black contests and philosophy; and to reach out to those who are interested or curious about the leather/fetish community, and our history and traditions."

November Leather/Gear Night

Hey Everyone

Don't forget that tonight is our monthly Leather & Gear Night. 10:00 PM at Club Try-Angles. Hope you all can make it out. Question is do I wear leather or do I wear some other gear?

November fundraiser

So I've kind of delayed in posting this, but it's time to start planning. We will be sending some representation to several International Leather Sir/boy contests this year. (More to come I promise. just waiting for the regional release.) As such, we will need to host several fundraising events to raise money to get our club members to the Thunder in the Mountains competition in July, and to International Leather Sir/Boy Community bootblack in San Francisco the end of July.

One of our first events we will be hosting will be the Wax-A-Bear event in November. This is going to be a fun event where we will have several hairy volunteers getting waxed while the rest of us watch and enjoy. Guests of the event will bid for a chance to rip the wax strip off of one of our volunteers. Since it IS utah and we will have to obey public decency laws, there will not be any waxing in bikini areas. If you are interested in helping out with this event, either as a hairy waxing volunteer or as an auctioneer, etc. Please contact boy darin or myself and we can clue you in on some of the details. We will also have a spring fundraising effort as well so if you can't participate this time, we'd love to have you help with the next.

Thanks guys. We all appreciate your support.

Leatherati and other stuff

Hi Guys

Just wanted to let you all know that our events are now listed on Leatherati.com wow big step for us. I want to thank Leatherati for accepting us as a legitimate leather organization. I look forward to soon be publishing details about our events and activities. Please check out the site they have lots of good information and links to the leather community.

One last reminder please go to the web site (http:/www/utahleather.org) and vote for the movie you want to see as a group. Sir Creig is going to take it down tonight and post the winning movie and show time.

Weekend Re-Cap

Thanks again to everyone who came out to the Utah Rebellion this year. It was great meeting so many of you. It's clear after this weekend, that there is a need for this group, and I am so proud to be at the start of this. For those of you that couldn't make it, no worries, we will find a way to all meet up. There are some exciting things coming.

boy darin and I got the chance to meet with some of the Utah Bears on friday, and we are going to partnering up for some fundraising and awareness campaigns later on this fall in addition to working on a safety campaign in light of recent events. The details of that will be coming, but if you are interested in possibly helping escort some of these younger guys from the bars and clubs to their cars, please let me know. This senseless violence has got to stop, and Chris Burbank and the Unified Police are behind us 100% on this.

We will also be putting together some fun activities and extra bar nights this fall so keep watching the calendar for more details. We will still be doing our monthly bar night the first friday of every month, and Gene from Try-Angles has graciously agreed to allow us to host this night at his bar.

Also I will be closing the poll tomorrow for movie night, so please vote for your choice. Movie times come out tomorrow so I will post the exact showtime for that once I know. Please let me know if you are really strapped for cash on that and I can see what I can do about some extra passes from work. I really want as many of you to come as possible for that, especially our younger members that aren't yet old enough for our bar nights.

Thanks again for all you do. It was a good weekend and some great things are coming.

Brothers always,
SirCreig

Another Attack

Hello Everyone, I am sorry to be the barrier of bad news but we have had another attack on a gay man, this time in American Fork. This is the 3 or 4th one in about 3 months. Would anyone be in the group be interested if I was to set up a concealed weapons permit class? It is looking like we need to protect ourselves. Please let me know what everyone thinks.
