With major thanks to Race Bannon, here are his calendar entries taken from Race’s Bar kinky gay men’s group. If you want to know more, check out Race’s blog.
The purpose of this doc is to list all of the kinky/sex events in San Francisco so group members have a one-stop location for everything going on in the upcoming month or so. I’ll start adding content to this doc soon. Please do not edit this page. Post any event you want included on the group wall and Race will update this page as he can.

Leather Alley Organizing Committee (part of the Leather Alliance) meeting, SOMA Inn Cafe on Folsom between 7th and 7th, 7pm. It’s not a huge place, and it might be very difficult if they end up with a hundred people crowded in there. (Note: On July 19 at a Leather Alliance meeting a number of community members came forward to discuss the direction for Leather Alley at Pride and the Leather Alliance was extremely open and gracious when listening to the input. The Leather Alley organizing committee would like to solicit commuity feedback about how they might change and improve on the format and create something that honors our place in the greater GLBT community and still allows them to do outreach. The Leather Alley organizing committee would like to hear any comments, ideas and suggestions from this group’s members, and others in the kink community. And when it comes time for Leather Alley, they can always use help setting it all up and running it too. If you have input regarding Leather Alley, send it to Rover at sfbikerider@yahoo.com.)

HIV/STD Testing: Since many of the guys in this group are sexually active, it’s a good idea to get tested regularly. If your primary care doctor doesn’t do such testing during your regular visits, here are some local resources (I personally use Magnet the most often for my regular 3-month checkup when my doctor hasn’t done it).
