A brief mention of some of last weekend’s goings-on

So last weekend (not the one just past; the one before that) was Necronomicon, an annual roughly-around-Halloween science fiction convention in Tampa. It’s always a good time; and this year was no exception. Easily worth the drive down from Gainesville to attend.

I’m still sorting through pictures (nearly 700 of them), most of which are definitely not work-safe, or indeed safe to share around small animals or those with delicate sensibilities. Those will remain locked on my computer, away from the women and children (sorry, folks).

A small number of interesting pictures that are (reasonably) safe to share, though:

First up, my sweetie joreth in Con gear with the addition of a karada made of chain. True story: we bought the chain (25 feet of it) at Home Depot just before arriving at the convention. I pulled it out of the bag in the parking lot so I could find the center point; as I was doing this, a random guy walked past and said “Oh, bondage party, huh?” No way to answer a question like that except truthfully, so I said “yep.”

Tying a karada with chain rather than rope is remarkably different. The chain does not slide, so you can’t adjust the tension as you go; you have to get it right the first time. It took a surprising amount of work, and helpers, to get this to work. I loved the results, though.

  

At the pre-con orgy, I had the opportunity to linger over her with the floggers. It’s been much too long since I’ve been able to give her a proper beating, so we took advantage of the opportunity to spend an hour or so of quality time together, in a room full of people fucking, which is always a good backdrop to this sort of thing.

The rope here is a basic karada with the addition of a frog tie. Kept her backside nicely…accessible.

Someone got this pic–don’t know who, but I like it.

The second night of the con, I snapped a self-portrait reflected in the hotel window. Long exposure, no flash, and I really like the gritty, almost surreal way it turned out.

In unrelated matters: I now have a firm date for the move to Atlanta; I’ll be there a week from Wednesday. I had planned to go spend some time with smoocherie today, but I need to meet up with the principals of my client’s company (the one that’s hiring me), and they were supposed to meet with me here in Gainesville this afternoon and give me a check. They were delayed, and I likely won’t see them ’til tomorrow, so I didn’t get the chance to see smoocherie after all. Work is interfering with my romantic life, and that’s not okay with me!

Also, Shelly came home from seeing her other sweetie with a hickey on her neck, and that is absolutely delightful. There is very little in the world more totally hawt than when she comes home marked. 🙂

  1. The chain is KICKASS!
    I found some pics of you & and some of you 2 with and a couple with as well from when we were all at their house. Did I ever get those to you? If not, I’ll e-mail them.

  3. I have all the pics that were taken at the party/orgy/thing, so I can give them to you next time I see you–there are way too many to send by email. (I assume you want all of them.) Or, if you send me an email with your address, I’ll put ’em all on a CD and mail it to you.

  4. Kind of a long story, really.

    I have owned a business called Obsidian Fields for quite a number of years. I do design, prepress, image retouching, networking, system integration, and consulting for advertising agencies, design shops, and print shops. One of my clients about eight years ago negotiated a deal with me where they gave me office space rent-free in exchange for discounted rates on repress and design services.

    That particular client became involved with another company, an electronics firm that makes storm detection and safety gear, primarily for industrial, government, and military use. I started doing advertising and design work for the electronics firm, and eventually became a minority shareholder in that firm.

    For the past four or five years, that firm has been looking for venture capital to expand their business, set up their own manufacturing facility, and start investing in R&D. They’ve finally obtained that venture capital, and they’re setting up a design and manufacturing facility in Atlanta. They’re bringing me aboard full-time as a Web programmer, ecommerce programmer, and print production person. The facility in Atlanta is nearly up and running, so I’ll be moving up there early next week.

    That’s the Readers Digest condensed version. The long version is a lot more traumatic. 🙂
