I am an idiot

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

So, this great photographer, Mitchel Evans not only contributed a fantastic photo (and two more) to my Zen Bondage Garden, but he also appreciated my commentary on his photography so much that he sent me a large print of that very photo. It’s proudly displayed right now in my bedroom, soon to be moved to my studio.

And me, dork that I am, called him “Mitchell Gant” in one of my podcasts. Or in a post, not sure which. But when someone emailed me asking about it, and I realized my error…man, did I feel dumb.

Sorry about that, Mitchel. I will be sure to correct the error in this weeks podcast, as well as here.

Perhaps this is why I got the bad karma of being excluded from Melissa Gira’s latest podcast, where she listed off a bunch of adult casts and…well, I wasn’t there. Not a bit.

I’m not hurt. Really.

Rope Weekly October 29, 2005 Show Notes

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

Ruthie’s Club, with erotica by Samadi

Instant Expert’s Bibliography:

  • The Book of Knots. I really like the rating system in this book. Yeah, the explanation of the system is on the inside cover of the book and certain criticisms of the book are correct but it is my favorite at the moment.
  • Knots. This book is another with great illustrations and it is hardcover with a pretty photo on the front. I haven’t been really through this book in depth but the description of the Monkey’s Fist is amazing. It shows how to use your fingers to acheive this knot easily.

  • The Morrow Guide to Knots.     Good book but the illustrations are photographs and, in my experience, the photographs are harder to learn from because they can’t highlight things as well as a good illustration.
  • The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots & Ropework. I was unable to reproduce the Monkey’s Fist with this book when I first looked at it. Once again, the problem with this book is the photographs.
  • Knots: Mathematics with a twist
    . Warning, for math geeks only. You won’t actually learn any knots in this book.
  • Ashley Book of Knots (Just because it *is* the bible of knots)

Rope Weekly mentioned in both Fetish Flame Podcast and reviewed by Ms. Kitka!

Still time to sign up for the Austin Ropecraft Symposium!
