what's happening

Hi,
I have not been posting because I don't think anyone looks at this blog. SOOOOOOOO

IF YOU DO READ THIS would you please post so I know folks are checking in.

As it seems to go----------- the space I had to hold C-Space was sold and the new owners are not as nice as the old ones about me having workshops there.
So I am on the lookout for another space. Until I can find one, of course I can't hold any gatherings. Know I am working on it.

Also-----------I am now giving workshops on various topics for singles or couples or a group. I do have a private dungeon for this type of class. I have over 20 years in the community and am an excellent teacher. I have taught at:
NLA conferences
Queer Nation
Everett Community College
QSM
Outerlimits
PLA
Rose City Discussion
Bad Girls
Portland leather Weekends
Seattle Men in Leather
Wetspot
Maydays
Desire
LARaw
and more I can't remember

Nominated twice for Leatherwoman of the year by
Patheon Of Leather

So if you have something you would like to learn just send me an email at
cfiretender@hotmail.com and we shall set something up for you.

I will let everyone know when I can start C-Space and where.
Take care and Happy New Year to all.

stunned

I am really in a state of shock these days.
I have been applying for jobs the last few weeks.
I have 20 years experience in my field and yet,
they love me and want me until----they do a background check
and I never hear from them again. Now mind you, I have no crimal
history or have ever been arrested, let alone never a ticket even
but here I am scared to death I won't be able to find a job because
of all my community service and events I have been involved in
over the years in the Leather community. I am really starting
to feel my rights have been violated by having no control of
what goes out in the world wide web we have these days. I can't control
what is published, we have no rights in that regard, and so there for
everyone is looking at my private life and judging me on that alone.
"They" always say it will catch up with you but I am not ashamed of
what I have done and in the future but it really bothers me that it now has THIS effect on my life.
Has anyone else run into this problem and if so did you find a solution?

WOW What a night!

I was worried no one would come------boy was I wrong! There were over 50 people there all with smiles on. Some folks I haven't seen in years. What a treat.

All my hard work did pay off and we were able to raise enough $ to get C-Space up and running again. Buy those chairs, rent the space and pay the presenter.
I could not have done it without the help of my volunteers. Lady Lydia, who has stolen my heart in all she has done for me over the last 9 months, you Rock! Rossi, you're smile always helps me and your wiliness to help is so appreciated. Donna Larson, who is an old c-space member also was great. I had the pleasure of having Tamara, The Trapeeze Lady, perform a lovely dance for us and Shu Shu belted out my fav--"Everybody's Fucking but Me" as it use to be my theme song for years.
Those who got up and spoke,broke the Number One Rule, not to talk about me, but we sure had some good laughs as people told their stories.I only wish I had set aside more time for us to visit each other. I sure hope those who came up from Portland had a safe ride home.

I can't tell you how touched I was by so many people coming out on such an icky night and to still support the concept of C-Space and me in my endeavor to bring more education to the Seattle area,to try and keep some of the "old school" going in our community.

I will post the January presenters and her information etc soon. Be assured you do not want to miss this workshop. Febuary is going to be awesome so come back here often!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!

one more day

One more day till the reunion!! So exciting. I will try and have this up and running by tomorrow so all can read what is going on.

Day one--setting up

Here I go again, trying something new. I really want a simple way for people to find out what is and will be happening with C-Space.
When I first started C-Space back in 1989, computers were only being used by computer "geeks" and not the whole world. Everything was done by hand and snail mail. Well it is now 2005 and we have sure come a long way. No longer do we hid from the world or travel in groups to feel safe. Good ol' Madonna helped in that dept. and those who have gone before us of our community.
So welcome to C-Space and if you have an idea or there is something you would like presented just let me know and I will work on it.
