If any of this gets your juices flowing, then do we have a program for you!

Our fabulous presenters (and even some of you) will offer the inside scoop on
M/s (Master/slave) and D/s (Dominant/submissive) relationships in their various
permutations. What is a Master (Mistress)/slave relationship? What is Dominance
and submission? What is Daddy/boy? What is Mommy/girl? What are the
similarities? What are the differences?

Whether you are an experienced player in the M/s or D/s arena or would just
like to know more, please join us. This program will involve panel discussion,
audience participation and a demo or two. Who could ask for more?

Who are our presenters?
Daddy Sal Hopkins has been a part of the Leather Community and an activist for
20 years. She is a founder and past coordinator of The Exiles and has organized
numerous events and fundraising efforts including PerverCity's Bondage and
Bonbons and 'SF Unleashed' Play Parties. She is on the board of Leather
Traditions, a group that produces events supporting the D/s lifestyle. Her
participation in the community comes from a passion for the Leather lifestyle,
for education and for mentoring.


Nancy Groschwitz has been active in the BDSM community for nearly thirty years.
A founding member of Exiles, she currently runs the Greater San Francisco Bay
Area chapter of MAsT (Masters and slaves Together).


Liza Sibley came to power in the late 60s while attending Woodstock and has
been kinky ever since. In 2002, she moved to San Francisco and jumped into the
leather community with both boots. She has served as Coordinator of the Exiles,
has hosted monthly MAsT (Masters and slaves Together) meetings at her home, is
on the Board of the Bears of San Francisco, is the “Controller” and a steering

runner-up. She is the proprietor of TheTwistedBear.com and Robust Leather.com.


DJ & Mercy have been together since 1997 and in the last 12 years have seen
much change and growth in their relationship. One thing that has always been
there is an underlying foundation of D/s. First with the roles that they
naturally fell into without discussion and later in more formally discussed and
negotiated roles. Moving from NY to CA in 2000, and discovering The Exiles in
2002, was a major turning point in their lives; affording them the freedom to
share more of their own private world with the larger BDSM Community. Mommy and
little girl is a natural, loving and nurturing interaction that they both
cherish and they are thankful to now live in the Bay Area where it is so easy
to allow their true selves to shine.

identified as a boy for as long as he can remember. he has the privilege and
honor of serving his Sir/Daddy and regards service as a passion that comes from

servant. She founded Leather and Lace, a woman to woman BD/DS/SM group in Los
Angeles. In 1993, Jody produced the “This is Leather” show, educating and

Note: Parking near the Women’s Bldg. is horrendous, we know. There are two
locked
garages near us. One is at 21st St. between Valencia and Mission. The second is
at 16th and Hoff St. between Mission and Valencia (enter on Hoff). Of course,
even these fill up. We also suggest walking, carpooling, taking the bus, BART,
or coming early and having dinner in the area.
