1. Extra! Extra!
Hey gang!  A couple of things have developed that I thought you might want to know about.  Thus the extra edition of the newsletter.

First a big thank you to everyone that came out to the November focus group.  
To quote Willow:
What a fantastic meet-up that was! A smaller group, but no less lively than usual. Quite a few new faces (Welcome-welcome HUGS) and some familiar favorites! On a personal note, my suspending-someone-other-than-me cherry was popped! Still needs much practice, but my 2 victi...er volunteers were making happy noises and seemed to have a good time. :D OH! And the mini-pies! sigh Thank you, Miss Rachael. grin We made a nice donation to the EHM as a group, as well! Thank you all for coming out and having fun with us. Until next time, fair winds!

The next focus group is set for Sunday December 11th.  Have a great Thanksgiving!

2. Reverse Tensionz Featured on Graydancer's Ropecast
Did ya know that we got featured on Graydancer's Ropecast?  Yup, it's true Gray was in town for the Erotic Author's Association Conference and took time away from his busy schedule to visit our September focus group.

Gray interview's several familiar folks including Dorian Gomez, the curator of the Erotic Heritage Museum.  All the while you can hear the happy sounds of a typical rope focus group in progress.  Thank you Graydancer for such a positive look at what we have happening here in Las Vegas!

Follow the link to be taken to Graydancer's Ropecast and give it a listen, you can also find the Ropecast on iTunes.
If you like it be sure to head over to iTunes and toss Gray a good rating as well as a comment.  He showed us some love, let's return the favor!  


I was really moved while listening to this.  Once again I have been blown away with what a fantastic bunch of people make up Reverse Tensionz, and just how much progress we have made over the past few years.  

I am amazingly proud of you!  It is truly a privilege to rope with you guys!

3. Midori's Rope Bondage Dojo® Registration Opens Dec. 1st!
I just received word from Midori that registration for the next Rope Bondage Dojo® will open on December 1st at 8am Pacific time.  This is my favorite rope event of them all and I highly recommend this intensive weekend to any ropester that wants to take his or her rope-work to the next level.

The next Dojo will be held Jan. 14th - 15th 2012 at the Citadel in San Francisco.
Catch all the details by following the link below.

I hope to see you there!

4. Shibaricon Registration Open Already!
Its twue!  Its twue!  It is twue what they say!  The granddaddy of all rope events is accepting registrations as we speak!

About Shibiricon:
Shibaricon is the world's premier annual exhibition and conference that focuses on education and information exchange among lovers of Japanese rope bondage. The goal of Shibaricon is simple; to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for the exchange of ideas, education, friendship and community. Since its inception in 2004, Shibaricon has become a treasured retreat where rope lovers from all over the world come together as a supportive community, learn new skills, and experience the joy of using those new skills to enhance relationships, both new and old. 
Shibaricon is produced by lovers of rope, for lovers of rope. We welcome you to join us to experience the magic created when so many rope lovers come together. Attendee, sponsor, vendor, presenter, volunteer or staff each one of you brings something special and necessary to the success of the event. Please join us in 2012 and make the 8th Annual Shibaricon the best yet!

Get all the scoop by clicking the link below.  Again, I hope to see you there!  A Vegas morning coffee group would be soooo cool before classes begin.

Holy Catz can you believe it has been well over a year since I put out a newsletter?  Well hold onto your hats as I am going to try to bring you a little rope news each month.  The goal, as was before, will be to inform local ropesters about significant developments in rope news, and keep people up on events.

Thank you again,
Mateo

2. November Rope Focus Group
Our next focus group will be meeting at the Erotic Heritage Museum on Sunday November 13h at 4 p.m. 

Thanksgiving is this month, how about a "food" theme?  Have at it!!  I hear rumors of pie coming in from Arizona.

Did you meet us at a party or demonstration? This is the best way to meet the local rope community in a relaxed and controlled setting. Our focus group is a peer to peer educational event where people practice their rope skills, share their knowledge, meet new people, and reconnect with old friends.

Rope bottoms come meet and get tied up by rope tops. Here is your chance to share your insights with tops and other rope submissives and switches.
Rope Tops come share your knowledge and tie up some rope bottoms!
