San Francisco Eagle: Men In Gear

I am not the most sociable person here in San Francisco but I tend to hangout at The Eagle quite a bit. Enough to know when I hear and see something good happening. Men In Gear night was a fucking blast, my nipples still have not recovered. The crowd was not your usual lot of posers and Sunday Afternoon Beer Bust dreck. I actually saw a lot of Leathermen for a change even some Tops and the people were, if anything, real about it. I am definitely going to this again. It reminded me of the Dore Alley crowd before the tourist started coming in to gawk. As someone who shall remain nameless commented... No Mamma's Family clones in sight and not a Sash Queen to be found. This was a crowd that felt different and hell it was different from the fucked up club kids and attitude driven muscle boys you typically run into. EXCELLENT!

I love it when what had become a fashionable fad starts to lose it's appeal and honestly if Leather is gonna gain back those qualities it once had it is events like this not Folsom Street Fair or another beauty pageant or another play space that will make me believe there is some life in the old ways yet. Good work David and let's see more!
