No on-site Registration
Please be aware that there is currently no on-site registration.
We used to have a laptop that people who were bringing guests who were not in our system could use to enter their vital information, and the Front Desk could then retrieve it and print a Release Form for them to sign. Unfortunately, we've had three laptops stolen within the past year, and are no longer equipped for doing on-site registration.
So, make sure your guests are registered in our system before coming to an event.
Our apologies, but this is non-negotiable.

Message from the Chairman
|
Brothers, Another Leather Week has come and gone hopefully leaving all of you with some memories to treasure. Leatherwalk was, as usual, a fun time, with nearly every segment of our community represented and walking in solidarity. All together nearly $6000 was raised for the Leather Cultural District, and we had the chance to spend time at many of our spaces south of Market. The week was filled with more events than any one person could attend, so I hope all of you enjoyed the ones you chose. Our Folsom party was amazing and once again the party committee exceeded expectations. Thanks once more to all of them. Looking forward to seeing all of you at our October party and our first Beer Bust in several years at the Eagle on Oct 12th. There are still plenty of volunteer slots open if you’d like to help. Rob Callbeck, Chairman Peer not through the keyhole, lest ye be vexed. |

Sober Leathermen – Find Recovery at Leather Events
The soberleathermen.org website was born out of the desire to connect people to sobriety at leather events. While the focus is on gay leathermen, we hope that people of all gender identities will find the website helpful when navigating sobriety in leather spaces.
This website is not affiliated with any event, meeting, or fellowship.
Leather 12 Step Recovery
For those who are in recovery from addiction, there is a Zoom Leather Recovery group that meets several times a week. Not affiliated with AA/NA/Al-Anon and established over the pandemic, it is an open 12-step meeting for those who are in our community and wish to meet with and be supported by like-minded individuals who understand their kink & fetish interests and how those can interact with recovery.
To inquire, email zoomleatherrecovery@gmail.com for more information.
The group meets on:
Monday @ 5:30pm
Tuesday & Thursday @ 6pm
Sunday @ 10am
