We will have an expanded Cloud Nine, our relaxation and massage salon. We will be fund raising for National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) all weekend with 2 slave auctions and prime Cloud Nine spots.

We are also proud to announce that the Leather Archives and Museum Road Show, its traveling exhibit, will bring the rich fetish history available at the LA&M out of Chicago to TES Fest 2009! Included in the exhibit will be items of importance to the history of TES.

Even in our current economic climate, TES Fest 2009 is an excellent value. Registration is now open at http://www.tesfest.org.

The Eulenspiegel Society is the world’s oldest and largest BDSM organization and based in New York City. Our organization is a not-for-profit corporation, which began as an informal association 1971. Our current member list spans from coast to coast. We support sexual liberation as a basic requirement of a truly free society. Our special concern is freedom for sexual minorities and particularly the rights of those whose sexuality embraces D/s or Dominant/submissive fantasies and urges. TES Fest 2009 is an extension of that mission.

As reported in many newspapers across the country, a customer of a professional dungeon in NYC was injured recently in an unfortunate accident. In response to this, the NYC based TES (The Eulenspiegel Society) is reaching out to professional dominants with an offer of free education and support.

TES Media Representative, Susan Wright says: “When something like this happens, it reminds us that we can never be too careful or be too knowledgeable when participating in consensual BDSM activities. TES offers educational classes and workshops every week to the Adult Alternative Community and as a show of support would like to offer these classes free to any actively working Professional Dom/Domme, during the months of March, April & May.” To register please visit http://www.tes.org/pd

As the oldest and largest BDSM support & education organization in the USA, TES has been educating the public on safe, sane & consensual BDSM practices since 1971. TES presents anywhere from 2 to 5 educational meetings, workshops & parties every week at various Manhattan locations. You can visit http://www.thesexcarnival.com/2007/10/nyc-wednesday-bondage/

The TES Bondage Group presents
“Tie for Two” with David Lawrence

A rope workshop to explore hands on tying for the sensual expression and enjoyment between two people. This exploration will involve a discussion touching upon such topics as trust, connection, the space that rope provides to the top and bottom and how vulnerability opens the door to magical results. For the riggers in this workshop we will share knowledge with you that will enable you to go with the flow of a rope scene that completely mesmerizes your partner and vice versa. For those who have yet to bring rope into your play together or who have shared this magical connection this workshop will inspire you to new heights.

Come on and join us! Needed for workshop: Four to six 30-foot lengths and your partner. Or just come and
watch.

$4 for members of TES and other SM/leather orgs; $8 for others
260 West 36th Street, 3rd floor, NYC
Doors open 7:30pm (no early arrivals please!); meeting begins at 8pm

I personally love David Lawrence’s style of teaching. He inspires everybody to tie along with him. Even experienced players find that he teaches a new trick or two. I am really looking forward to this class. He does beautiful work. Check out his website at http://www.shibariartphotography.com/

I can’t go to this, but you shouldn’t miss Rita Seagrave teaching Lapdancing 101 at TES this Tuesday night:

The relationship between lapdancer and customer is overloaded with power exchange, so we’ll also explore how to incorporate this unique form of “tease and denial” into your erotic D/s play. There will be opportunities for volunteers to participate and interact, no partner necessary. Rita Seagrave has worked as a professional dominatrix, adult toy salesgirl, Lusty Lady stripper, sex advice columnist, and college instructor. Born in NJ in 1973, raised in San Francisco, and educated in Massachusetts, Rita has found her true home in the Ohio kink community, where she currently serves on the board of the Columbus chapter of the National Leather Association. You can find her online at www.kinkmogul.com.

She’s also teaching at Floating World this weekend. Please send Twits, Rita! ;-D

My friend Lolita Wolf has sent me me so many items for the Carnival, and I’ve cross linked her calendar so often, I thought it was time she should just be a contributor.

It’s an honor for the Carnival. Right before going to Dark Odyssey for the first time, I remember reading an old issue of Prometheus, the TES publication. There was a picture of Lolita receiving a lifetime achievement award. Now, I’m her ‘blog mommy.’

She is very patient with this novice. Just last night we were at the TES ‘Speed Bondage’ workshop taught by Lee Harrington. I admit I was a little intimidated, practicing single column ties and chest harnesses on her. She laughed, and chided me for not anchoring the chest ropes tightly enough (um, one was starting to choke her). Now, I’m thinking of attending Midori’s rope dojo this September.

Lolita Wolf has brought back the weekly leather calendar!
