Madam X, lethrs, James, and Rachel Kramer Bussel

Thursday night I finally got My ass on a train for the city and busted out of My suburban utopia for a while to go to an event with lethrs and James.

I found this even while looking at the meet up site for a gay friend of Mine that is too shy and lonely. he's such a submissive man and was having a stormy relationship with a verbally abusive lover that I was worried might turn physical. After I found him an interesting group and got him set up on it, I started looking for all things kinky and maybe for some erotic writing group.

WAHLA! I found one and further WHALA!, there was an event scheduled with Rachel Kramer Bussel a writer that I have been researching because she is pretty much doing all the professional things that I wish I could be doing but are not.

I invited lethers because I miss him and I think he's been way too busy surviving and needed some time to feel his slaveheart. He's working in the city now so it's not that much of a stretch for him to go to stuff with Me. I invited James because I know he likes to stretch his creativity and maybe he would meet some people that would drum up some photography work for him. James did a shoot for Me once when I was working for a start up magazine that never got off the ground. I thought his work was GREAT. I also have a few ideas for some magazine pieces that I want to write and shop around. After I get the layout of what I want to do, I was thinking that I could share that with him and let him loose to see what he could get to enhance it.

I really do think it was the COLDEST fucking night of the year. I am so proud of Myself for getting out in that weather. I usually hibernate but working in Long Beach and living in Island Park has really left Me hungry for all things "Manhattan". Charles was being a real trooper and took Me to the train. lethers was such a good boy and met me right where he said he would. We hopped on the E train and started on our journey to look for Madam X on West Houston. James was going to meet us there. lethrs offered to get us a cab but after taking a deep breath and assessing the situation, I decided that I could handle the cold and wanted to walk and enjoy the Village which is My favorite neighborhood with Chelsea running a close second. We got turned around though and the coldest night of the year is NOT a good time to get lost. Charles to the rescue. NO ONE knows the city like he does. A quick call to Charles put us back on the right track.

As we passed Arturo's I remembered nights having hot pizza and listening to live music with Charles and friends when we were first dating. Madam X is about two doors down. We went in and I fell in love with this bar. Warm and welcoming and decorated like a Victorian whorehouse, I felt right at home. GOD it felt good to be out in My element and I was looking forward to hearing what Rachel had to say and to see if anyone else in the Erotic/porn industry would show up.

I did My usual thing and started to collect others around us and pretty soon we had a lively conversation going within the newly formed group. When lethrs asked permission to go to the bathroom, that started a buzz which I loved. Sabrina sat with us for a while and asked questions. She is really good at spotting the shy people and dragging them out of the shadows.

It felt good being with lethrs, he looked cute in his Timberland boots and jeans and pretty yellow striped shirt. It felt good to have him in a position where I can treat him like the slave he is. This was our first time out not fettered by a straight restaurant envoironment. I think it might be time to get him to some fetish events. Maybe a shopping trip for a collar first.

James showed up in a whirlwind and after a few deep breaths he sat down with a drink and jumped in to the conversation. He is refreshingly open to whatever anyone wants to talk about and always has words to add to the topic. I think he enjoyed himself.

Rachel was interesting but I couldn't stop Myself from watching her with this voice in the back of My head telling Me, NO.. Scolding Me that I could do so much better if I could just get over My stupid idiosyncrasies and just let go and write. I have a book ready to go and it's the fun part that's left. I have another book planned out and several more book ideas in My brain. It's all about just DOING it. So, I guess the outing did what I was hoping it would do which is to motivate Me to do what I want to do and stop being lazy. I might have to work when I'm tired and don't want to but the whole world has to do that so.....

Charles was picking Me up and lethrs was operating on two cylinders from a business trip and needed to be sent home, so we left about 9 pm. I hope to go to more of these. The next one is March 1st and will be with VELVET who wrote the Black Door and only appears with a velvet bag over his head... *snickers*.. Now come on.. ya gotta admit that sounds interesting....
