cellboyemailed to members today. This Ball was held at the Green Room, at SF Civic Center for years. Quite fun, and the men a treat to view.
After 16 years the Phoenix Uniform Club of San Francisco has decided to discontinue their Pride Weekend annual "Uniform & Leather Ball." The Phoenix appreciate the support of a dedicated group of participants that faithfully returned each year. Unfortunately, overall attendance waned, the Ball failed to capture the attention of youth, & had operated at a loss for 3 years running. Many of us, however, will miss the Ball sorely.
As the US economy enters a recession, it is important to mention that if the San Francisco Leather & fetish community wants continued access to such gems as the Ball, specialized clothing/boot shops, and leather/fetish bars/events, they most support them financially or they will disappear.
The Phoenix are now concentrating on producing a Halloween event which will have more contemporary music & hopefully appeal to fetishists of all ages.
Fraternally,
Brett Brockschmidt
