Weekend at TES

This is going to be a wild weekend. I’ll be playing with Rad, I’ll be playing with my Dom, I’ll be topping a few people and who knows?–I may bottom to someone new and interesting as well. I’m giving a demo, signing and selling books, and participating in a celebrity auction. I’m also volunteering at the registration desk on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

In between and after my commitments, I’ll be attending classes, socializing, and playing.

This will be an adventure of sorts as it’s the first time Rad has been to a BDSM event (I haven’t been to that many, myself, but I did go to TES Fest 30–ten years ago.) On top of that, it’s the first weekend event I’ve attended with both Rad and my Dom. There’s going to have to be some scheduling and coordination. I want to make them both happy (as well as make myself happy), so I’m crossing my fingers that it all will work out smoothly. My Dom and I have a standing agreement that our play does not interfere with my marriage. Meanwhile, Rad is open to the situation and will give us some space to play — I just need to also play with my husband as well.

Monday afternoon I’ll be teaching a class on spanking, with the specific theme being “Payback doesn’t have to be a bitch: Topping for Bottoms.” More information is available on the class descriptions at TESFest.org. I’m hoping to open up more people to the idea that even if you identify more as a bottom, you can still be a very good top.

I’m about packed, will be heading into the city shortly to pick up Rad from work, and then we’ll be on the way. Crossing fingers that Holland Tunnel traffic isn’t horrendous.
