Thursday, December 29th, 2005

This episode features a review of Cleo Dubois’ Tie Me Up DVD, Music from MasterTouch, and good news about Ford, bad news about American Girls, interesting news about Araki, and an apology to Goose, Gander, and Bacchus from Eros Blog. Also, an apology to Ropoptica, who was inadvertently left out of the episode with his […]

Plan D

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Plan A was a blacklit neon body-painting suspension deal with the same artist who worked with us at the Inferno Re-Orient performance (of which you can see the vidcasts here (not work safe)). But the painter is out of town.
Plan B was the combination of shibari, muppets, MST3K, and tentacle sex. A good idea, […]

Araki goes to Prague

Araki’s attitude toward bondage can be believed or not: “Kinbaku [rope-tying] is markedly different from bondage,” he once said. “I only tie up the body of a woman because I know I cannot bind her soul. Only a physical part of her can be bound. For me it is an equivalent to […]

It’s proudly displayed right now in my bedroom, soon to be moved to […]

More Zen

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

I’ve been reading more zen books, this time a re-visit to “Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies, and the Truth About Reality.” The author, Brad Warner, is very conversational, definitely of my generation, and he’s unapologetic and not out to gather a following.

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Tomorrow morning I’ll have not only a podcast to upload, with segments from the Austin Rope Symposium, but also a new video, part three of my performances at the “re-orient” event in Madison. Plus some hot pics from the play party, to boot. I’m just chock full of goodies…eventually.
However, in the meantime, my dear minx […]

Too much to say. Too much to share. But it’s on the way.
If you missed it, then go to BodyBound in February. Folks, the rope community is to darn NICE to miss, really.
And Monk is a god among men.
Thanks, Brother.
More to come. Video, podcast, and writing. Lots to share!
