I look forward to watching this unfold. My interest has always been primarily in D/s with one partner and talk about odd man out in the bay area! Years ago I started a group in Sacramento and one of its goals was to explore ways to enhance exploring D/s in public and it was an interesting learning experience. We experimented with all sorts of things trying to create that delicate balance that supported the widest range of D/s styles and yet provided a sort of cohesive theme so that everyone elses actions, while unique, enhanced the experience of everyone else. Far harder than it seems.

I am not overly fond of the public scene and am one of those freaks who prefered PE to Castlebar (except when Fandango did the parties) although the spaces available now are wonderful. My play tends to be boring to watch as the intensity is between my partner and I and one gets tired of having to tell some nosy DM that "yes, we are in fact playing" and "no, we are not going to give up the piece of equipment to your buddy" and being in a place that has respect for that would be wonderful.

I am actually very excited by the timing of this as my partner and I have recently explored some very uncharted territory for me as a dominant and I have realized I have never had someone submit so deeply before. So, thanks for all the hard work to get this started and the hard work ahead as the kinks are worked out and in and out and....
