JG-L News-2008-October-A

Although I do this for fun, I'd like to request your assistance with the costs of keeping the site on-line. Bandwidth use is well over 600 GIGabytes a month and it ain't cheap here in The Great White North. Anything you can spare will help to keep the site humming along.

SERVICE NOTE: Please accept my apologies for the lack of updates during the period of 10th, May to 10th July, 2009. As you must be aware by now, my computers, then this site, got a very bad virus infection and so I didn't do any uploading until everything was clean and safe.

Doing so has cost me well in excess of $1,600.00 USD by the time all was said and done. This kind of expenditure on what is basically a hobby site, and free to all visitors, CANNOT be sustained by me alone. I ask you, please, to consider what you're getting for nothing and help me to cover these costs by contacting me at: JC-Green@Telus.Net or sending a cheque or postal money order to: JC GREEN, PO Box 2013, Point Roberts, WA, USA 98281-2013. I hope to be able to offer easier options again soon, as well as an explanation as to why this Donation Request has had to be changed.

Thanks all for your patience, and in advance, for your assistance to cover the costs incurred.

(I GENERALLY DO AN UPDATE EVERY 7 TO 10 DAYS, WITH ROTATING PAGES FROM DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE SITE, GETTING NEW MATERIAL, SO READ THE INTRODUCTION FOR EACH UPDATE, PLEASE. THE SECTION BEING UPDATED IS NORMALLY HOT-LINKED IN THE BLATHERING.)

The data shown below will change normally, about a week to 10 days after the beginning of each month, then be placed in 'Archive' for future reference. The Archive structure will be a month by month basis for each year (12 pages).

Please Note: There is no "INDEX" page per se. Use the month and year pages above and below to review previous updates to this Section.

Yes, I know this upload is a couple of days later than the date shown, but here it is anyway. I've been quite busy, as always.

I've returned from the Folsom Street Fair and other frolics in San Francisco, having had a great time. Re-connecting with old friends is always a great pleasure, and I was fortunate enough to make new ones too, but more on that in a moment. Here's some imagery from the Fair.

You can see and experience damned near anything at the Folsom Street Fair and generally do if you investigate all the booths and side streets.

Mark wanted an electric hoist for his home, so Martin and I zoomed off to Hayward then when we got back, it was immediately hung up in the kitchen (where else would you put one?), followed shortly thereafter by various guests :-).

Geetwo and Maxi did some exploring in SFO, both at Mark's place and the Fair, then even more was done at the Mr-S store ... a tastefully laid out emporium with a wide variety of S&M/B&D gear for both gay and straight folks of any and all genders.

Here's some more of the denizens that attended the Fair, as well as joining in to the house party at Mark's the night before. Check out www.seriousbondage.com for a full update of the party and other fun.

My good friends at Sinvention now have their retail site on line and if you want the best of North American leather craftsmanship for your toy needs, THESE are the folks to contact. Here below are some pix of their various creations, and there'll be a lot more to come from them.

While in SFO I had the great good fortune to be introduced to a very beautiful, cultured, charming and intelligent lady, Mistress Liliane Hunt. We have a great deal in common and I look forward to seeing her the next time I visit SFO, probably in early February, 2009. Below are some sample pix of the lady for you to devour :-).

I've not had a chance to do any further work on the Storage Case-Coffin project since the 25th September, but it will begin to move ahead again in the next weeks, before I depart for Germany. In other areas ... I've completed the final edit of a co-authored book by Von Ronsa and myself (Celine's Seduction to Rubber) that has been lying fallow for many years. The cover art has been done by YVPS and the book should be released by PINK FLAMINGO PUBLICATIONS sometime in the next ten days. Stay tuned for another blast of self-promotion and a short blurb about this incredible tale of rubber fetishism.

As well, the video I've mentioned in past uploads is now pretty well finished the post production tweaking in Stockholm and should soon be available for viewing on a streaming video site (yet to be decided). Further details about how to see this 35 minute production will come as they occur and I'll be putting up a short teaser clip here. This video is the first of what I anticipate to be a series produced by me and ERC-Media :-).

My very good friends at CAPTURED TABOOS have been kind enough to send along some recent pix of their newest gear from RUBBER'S FINEST and here's a sampling of the images :-). I'll be visiting them both on my trip in November.

And, last but not least for this page is the usual notification that the ROGUE'S GALLERY has been updated with more eye candy. Enjoy!
