“HOIST: The Movie”

From “THE HOIST” in London: 

Hoist London – The Movie 

Hello, If you would like to appear in a documentary about The Hoist please send an email to hoist@ashe-web.com or turn up at the club on Friday 26th April, Saturday 27th April or Sunday 28th April.

What is the documentary about?An American film maker wants to create a documentary about the history of the club. It is not a sex movie but a serious documentary. The aim is to have it premiered in 2014 at the BFI Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Apart from the history of the club it will also be looking into sex in public places and how it’s disappearing/changing because of the internet.

RECON’s Fetish Week in London

I really did not expect to be coming back to the UK so quickly but I seem to have myself locked into attending RECON’s Fetish Week in London this July. 

My last trip was basically planned around seeing a close friend and going to a concert. While we did hit the Manchester Eagle, we didn’t get to do much of the Fetish scene there or in London (or during my trip in 2006).  So, I told myself, if I go back to the UK… THAT is what I want to do. A trip that is all about exploring London’s fetish scene.  While I most likely would not attend the Skinhead Party (not my thing), there’s many other events that sound like a lot of fun. London is so incredibly friendly and outgoing (at least they’ve been to me) that I’m feeling very drawn to this event.   A new event. One I haven’t been to before.


The only bummer here is that the Rubber Gear Party is held the same day as “LOVEBOX“… a large outdoor concert with performers such as Scissor Sisters, Kelis, Robyn, Blondie and others(those 4 are favorites of mine).   So, I’ll miss that party.  Damn.  I hate making a decision between Concerts & Gear Parties.   Those are 2 of my major passions in life.

And, of course, I’m going back to London to see a certain insanely cute bondage boy that I met on the last trip.


So, who else is going? If you’ve been before, give me a shout of what you liked. Anything I should definitely hit (or miss)?
