Leather Cultures

Friday, June 13, 2008 from 7:00 to 9:30 PM

with Rae Goldman

- What do we like about traditional leather culture?
- What do we know about traditional leather culture?
- What would we like to know?
- How can traditional and non-traditional leather folks interact well, even if we don’t 100% agree with the culture?
- What do the two cultures have to offer each other, where do they already agree, and how can these two groups communicate better?

Interested in the intersections of traditional leather culture and more non-traditional leather style? Join this facilitated discussion where we’ll talk about all of that and more!

Our new venue is Femina Potens, located at 2199 Market (at Sanchez) in San Francisco CA 94114, at the old Image Leather location.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

screwup is for trannies, genderqueers, and our friends. This event is open to all genders and will be held at Femina Potens gallery. Folks sometimes go out for coffee or food afterwards, so come prepared...

Femina Potens is wheelchair accessible, however the single gender-neutral bathroom is not. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, and are looking for an accessible restroom in the vicinity.

Please contact screwup@screwup.info if you'd like us to arrange for an ASL interpreter, to get involved, make suggestions or with any other requests.

$0-5 donation will be accepted to cover the cost of supplies and flyers. No one turned away.

Directions to Femina Potens:

The MUNI train lines M L and K all stop two blocks from Femina Potens, at the corner of Church and Market, these connect to BART at any of the 4 downtown BART stations.

Please use public transportation - parking near the Castro is not easy.

If you do drive, please be considerate of Femina Potens neighbors and do not block driveways or park in blue or white zones.

    While I still haven't decided if it's really flier or flyer, I've posted the June 08 doc for folks to print/distribute if they'd like. It's in the "files" section of the screwup yahoo group.

    thanks rae for facilitating such an interesting, challenging and thought provoking conversation and disscussion on what is "old guard" and aspect that can be useful and about people's view, fears and experiences with leather culture.
