Call for Presenters for DARK Wknd in February 2011!
Call for Presenters for LIFE Detroit's DARK 7 Weekend
Each year, during the first weekend of February, the Leather Institute for Education (LIFE) Detroit hold an event known as the Detroit Area's Rough & Kinkfest (DARK) Weekend. This year, the event will be held February 4-6, 2011.
The event, which began in 2005, is an educational weekend where LIFE Detroit invites in local, national and international presenters to discuss topics of importance in the Leather/BDSM/Kink community, as well as provide hands-on demonstrations of various play and techniques used by members of the Community.
I would like to invite you to be a presenter at our DARK 7 weekend.
Please submit a description of the class or classes that you are interested in presenting/demonstrating and a brief description of what would be covered in your presentation/demonstration. This should include objectives for the class. Presentations run 50 minutes during the Saturday of the event (February 5, 2011.) Our attendees will have all levels of experience.
A current biography and a photo that can be used on the website or in program materials should also be submitted when you submit your class proposal.
These items should be emailed to vicepresident@lifedetroit.com and must be received no later than Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Keep in mind that the venue is in a semi-public location (hotel) and standard Michigan rules apply€ ¦’·no nudity, a jock may be worn, but must have at least a 1" strap covering the crack of the ass, genitals must remain covered, womens breasts may be exposed, but the nipples must be covered, etc. You class would have to conform to these guidelines.
LIFE Detroit is willing to entertain a proposal on any topic, but we will have the final decision on what we feel would be best for the crowd we are trying to reach.
On Friday night of the weekend (February 4) we host a "Bottom's Buffet." This is a night were we set up several different stations manned by some of our weekend presenters. It allows people who may never have experienced a flogging (for instance) to get a sample of it (10-20 minutes or so) without engaging in an entire scene. It allows people to experience play they may never have tried so they can see if they like it or not, or it may allow people to experience techniques on a skill they love, but at the hands of a different person. We hope you will consider being a part of this event, also. If you are interested, please let me know what station(s) you would be interested in doing.
If you have questions about this letter, or about DARK Weekend, please let me know. I may be reached via email at hardguy24u@aol.com or by cell phone at (734) 260-2388
We look forward to having you as part of our weekend.
And remember€ ¦’·Don't be afraid of the DARK.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
