Although I'm often seen lurking at school events I'm not really into the school scene - I go as much to see friends as to
participate. I've been absent from the broader S&M scene for the last year for personal reasons: high time I got back
into it!
I'm going to try the LCPS because it will be different from both other schools and other clubs that I've been to.
I do have reservations (I only decided to go a few days ago), mostly because it's not what I'm used to, and I'm really not
sure I'm up to doing it well, but I'll give it a go. I have faith that my friends will respect my efforts, even if
they don't come off to my satisfation. And if I don't enjoy it there's no minimum contract to keep me going back.
I know that I lack the theatrical backround to create a full back story but I think that it will still be worth going.
Even if the gangs seem like an imposition, they will create an atmosphere that will give more feeling than hanging around
a straight S&M club wearing school uniform.
I hope it does succeed, if only because Ishmael is sticking his neck out by going against the traditional grain.
And if it doesn't he'll only come back with an even madder idea . . .
(In the past he's cast me as a court jester and an itinerant peddlar. I was damn nearly Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island:
a tough rôle for a 42 year old!)
