So,
please find below information regarding the LLW kickoff party as well
as info on LLW in general. Please share this with your friends and
leather families so that we can all come together for a weekend of fun
and frolic in the north woods! <br><br>Last year we had more than 2 dozen Exiles attend this "twisted summer camp". It was a major blast! For those of you who might have heard a nasty rumor that LLW is not welcoming to women, believe me that is totally not the case, as a matter of fact, 40% of the steering/organizing committees of LLW are not only women, but actually Exiles members! So, I can assure you, Exiles are not only welcome, but fully wanted!<br><br>As
a personal aside, I've got to say that I just love the energy at LLW.
I was so relieved when I discovered this wonderful weekend a few years
ago because it was the first time since moving to the bay area that I
really felt a true sense of community with my leather sisters and brothers. All too often in our area we seem to be so fractionalized.
Not just keeping separate the men, women and het communities, but even
further specialization within each of those umbrellas. I love that
everyone who identifies as Leather can feel like they are going to the
annual family reunion! Well, that's how I feel anyway!! I hope you will
as well.<br><br><img src="http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/04.gif"><br><br>Cheers!<br><br>-D.<br><div> </div><em style="font-family: verdana;"><font color="#ff0000"><strong></strong></font></em><em style="font-family: verdana;"><font color="#ff0000"><strong></strong></font></em><font style="font-family: times new roman; font-weight: bold;" size="2"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span></font><em style="color: rgb(64, 0, 127); font-family: verdana;"></em>----- Forwarded Message ----<br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 204);" align="center">

<p>Leather-Levi Weekend started as a concept in 1999 as a way to
introduce the new generation into the Leather-Levi / Kink / S&M
culture and community. Community has always been an important part of
LLW, whether that means the group of people who work to get the event
rolling, the people who attend the event, the outstanding individuals
who work every day to gain or maintain our rights in society as gays,
lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, queers, kinks, and a myriad of other
labels and roles.</p>
<p>Lesbians and gays have not always had the freedom that we enjoy
today. Many members of the community became involved when one still had
to mask their identity while in public. When HIV and AIDS tore through
the community, the social groups refocused on helping each other to get
medical care, food, and even shelter in emergency situations. These
needs still exist today, and our communities are there to help. At the
same time, we want to have fun. These balances between freedom and
responsibility, fun and fetish, individual and community are part of
what LLW is about.</p></div>
