Friday night at the Armory
Fresh off the plane from LA, I got to get a private invitation to see the SF Armory friday night. The photo set is here (with descriptive narration), and I shot two videos: one in the auditorium, and another in the dark shooting range, under the building where Mission Creek runs through it. Photo: me…
A seriously awesome review for Fetish Sex
I try not to clog up my blog with overly much book promo (I figure people will poke around and find what interests them on their own), but I was just sent a link to the Bay Area Reporter’s new review of my book, Fetish Sex — and rarely am I as entertained by book…
Airport entry, blah blah blah
I’m sitting in the airport waiting for a delayed plane, and finally able to catch back up to the blog. I’ve been uploading Flickr pics like crazy, despite the glacial (and filtered) connection speed at the Roosevelt, where a friend managed to get me a decent room for cheap — even though it was a…
What’s in my overnight bag
So fitting since I’m sitting here waiting for an airport shuttle — my Dethroner: What’s In Your Overnight Bag interview is up! Flatteringly, Joel Johnson writes, “What intro could contain Violet Blue? Author, blogger, podcaster, general fuckin’-shit-upper, Violet also happens to have a column at the San Francisco Chronicle called ‘Open Source Sex.’ You’d best…
An art show I’d love to see
“Removing the fig leaf: Barbican’s scholarly sex show, for over-18s only: Exhibition to chart 2,000 years of explicit depiction – from Pompeii to Warhol” Snip: “A fresco from an ancient Roman brothel, showing couples voluptuously entwined. Aubrey Beardsley’s exquisitely detailed figures, complete with vast erect phalluses. The facial expressions of a man receiving a 35-minute…
Interesting comments
Earlier today I posted Victoria Theatre’s Owner: Anti-Porn Hypocrite at Metblogs SF — and if you’re keeping up with the Kink.com Armory story, the comments on this post are getting very interesting, indeed. All-American porny image via Brandon Herman (Flash site).
SXSW paneliciousness
It’s really happening — I’ll be in Austin, Texas for this year’s SXSW conference, on not one but *two* panels spanning both the Interactive and Film portions of the con. Check out my south-by-southsexy bio! Rawr! It’s really looking like a huge gathering of the geeks, with more of my friends going along than I…
Eddie and the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Errorist Devices
At last night’s Dorkbot SF #32, GETV interviewed three locals who found a few of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force “terrorist” devices (“Holy Blinky Devices of Terror!“), then later Eddie took over the Dorkbot stage and had the three explain their experiences finding and obtaining the devices. I shot this fun video from the front…
Wired: Fetish cafes cater to geeks
It’s lame and *very* sex-negative and I have no idea what it really has to do with geeks, but this Wired piece about fetish cafes is still interesting — would have been even more interesting if the writer had expanded on the cafes, and left out the judgmental psychoanalysis. Love the hanging accusation that patrons…
