 16 Jul 05 | New York Part II: Shops and Leather Pride weekend | (16 Jul 05, 11:52 PM by Tanos) |
| A couple of weeks ago I wrote a first weblog post about
lili and I going to New
York, and seeing
Gloria Brame's talk at Paddles. This second post is about the BDSM
/ Fetish shops we managed to track down, with some short reviews and pictures;
and also a bit about the Leather Pride Night, and Folsom Street East fair. [more...]

| 9 Jul 05 | Club Lash ... | (9 Jul 05, 11:08 AM by Tanos) |
... was great. (And thankyou for all the supportive words to lili and I about the ongoing unpleasantness  )
|
| 1 Jul 05 | Tray gags? | (1 Jul 05, 3:18 AM by Tanos) |
| I can only find one reference to a "tray
gag", but it is a pretty cool picture all the same (even though Zentai, total enclosure or women-as-furniture isn't usually my thing.) The
picture is of Bridgett
Harrington. |
| 25 Jun 05 | New York Part I: Gloria Brame at Paddles | (25 Jun 05, 10:53 PM by Tanos) |
| My
last
weblog post mentioned some of the things lili and I
went to while we were away last week. I'm now going to try to write
something more detailed about the first of these, Gloria Brame's talk at the
DomSubFriends group at Paddles. [more...]

| 23 Jun 05 | What I did on my holidays... | (23 Jun 05, 11:35 PM by Tanos) |
Some of you might have noticed that lili and I have been away
for a week ... (that's for the benefit of anyone reading this in a year's time: IC has been down for a week until earlier today  ) I'm going to make some weblog posts about places
we went (during Leather Pride Weekend in New York) but I've
a bunch of shorter things to catch up about. [more...]

| 16 Jun 05 | IC being offline today | (16 Jun 05, 1:47 AM by Tanos) |
| IC has had it's longest downtime for a couple of years today
but it is back online now - as you can see! [more...]
|
| 15 Jun 05 | LateXtra and Midlands Fetish Scene magazines | (15 Jun 05, 1:31 AM by Tanos) |
| I got the recent copies of LateXtra and the new Midlands Fetish Scene last week - two free magazines with BDSM / Fetish news and articles. [more...]
|
| 19 Apr 05 | New pope | (19 Apr 05, 6:32 PM by Tanos) |
| Well, I'd just finished watching the third Godfather film (ie the one with lots of scenes in the Vatican, including intrigue surrounding a new pope) for the first time, and then I put on BBC News 24, and there's a new pope announced! How weird a coincidence is that. |
| 10 Apr 05 | Threats at the Manchester Munch | (10 Apr 05, 10:51 AM by Tanos) |
| Yesterday Fire made his threats to "smash my face" in person at the Manchester Munch in front of witnesses.
The Threats by Fire page has more background about the silly little boy's antics yesterday. |
| 17 Mar 05 | Perversity Challenge in Manchester | (17 Mar 05, 9:38 AM by Tanos) |
| So lili and I decided to go to
Perversity Challenge yesterday - pretty much at the last minute. It turned out to be a pub quiz with a twist: in the bar of the Green Room theatre (where Club Lash used to be) and hosted by Lash's own vampire queen, Rosie Lugosi. Team numbers were limited to the unusually vanilla figure of 5, and so Team Tanos (all two of us) ended up taking on the bigger teams and getting a very respectable score of 22. [more...]
|
| 13 Mar 05 | Lash, Manchester Munch and meeting, and the Couch Club | (13 Mar 05, 12:06 PM by Tanos) |
| Lash was cool and packed by the end. Lot's of inventive superheroes following the theme. lili and popi looked great as ever, and I wore some leather gear from the excellent Rob shop in Manchester. [more...]
|
| 8 Mar 05 | Man Flu | (8 Mar 05, 10:51 AM by Tanos) |
I was given this fold-away crop at the weekend, and I've decided to name it Man Flu, after a particularly ill-advised comment the same person made to another dom, who was subsequently instrumental in obtaining it "for" her. He'll be pleased to know it does indeed seem to sting like buggery... [more...]
|
| 6 Mar 05 | Lifestyle munch and Bisexual/biamorous (3) | (6 Mar 05, 4:46 PM by lisal) |
Yesterday, lili, popi and I went to the Lifestyle munch in Manchester. The room was pretty full (as usual), everyone seemed to be having a great time, and we had a good laugh about recent events  [more...]
|
| 28 Feb 05 | Recent threats by Fire | (28 Feb 05, 1:13 AM by Tanos) |
| It's not acceptable to use the IC system to send threats to other members. That applies "even" if the threats are made against me or lili. Since Fire - who runs the Alternative party, Fetish-UK shop and TheMunch website - has now started sending his threats through IC itself, he's not welcome to use the site. (There's an explanation of the background to all this if you're curious.) |
| 25 Feb 05 | 40,000 posts | (25 Feb 05, 12:50 PM by Tanos) |
| IC's counter for the web boards, weblogs and replies rolled over the 40,000 mark late this morning, and just under 10,000 of those are from the last month, following IC's upgrade.
It took 5 years to get to 30,000 weblogs, but the rate is now much faster: yesterday was the busiest day so far, with 471 posts and replies. [more...]
|
| 16 Feb 05 | IC.2: four weeks on | (16 Feb 05, 2:06 PM by Tanos) |
| The new IC system has been online for four weeks now, and I'm very pleased with how it has worked out so far: all of the components basically work, the usage of the site has increased a lot, and yet it's much faster at peak times than before. [more...]
|
| 14 Feb 05 | Valentines Day: oh well, maybe next year... | (14 Feb 05, 2:08 PM by Tanos) |
| Actually I got one this time! The normal House of Tanos ban on giving money to card shops didn't apply in this case
|
| 31 Jan 05 | Sunday: busiest day so far | (31 Jan 05, 9:03 AM by Tanos) |
| I've just been looking through some of the statistics about use of the new IC system. Yesterday (Sunday) was our busiest day ever, with a whopping 320 web board and weblog posts and replies, plus 45 new members. |
| 18 Jan 05 | Does this actually work ... (23) | (20 Jan 05, 12:43 PM by anomie) |
| ... this bit does at least Welcome to IC.2! |
| 14 Jan 05 | Club Lash, BBB, RBPW | (14 Jan 05, 8:42 AM by Tanos) |
| Another BDSM marathon weekend coming up: Club Lash
tonight, various nefarious activities at home tomorrow,
driving down to the BBB in Birmingham on Sunday and then
dropping lili and her fellow rope enthusiast off at the
Rope Bondage Peer Workshop on Sunday evening. So no time
for the excellent Nemesis II on Saturday night [more...]
