Folsom Street East 2007: Back On The Block

Heralding itself as New York City's only "S/M-Leather-Fetish block party" (obviously they haven't been to our 4th of July BBQ), Folsom Street East is back this Sunday, June 17, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., for its eleventh anniversary. Again this year the leather enthusiasts will be taking over West 28th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues. If you're in the NYC area, pull that leather thong out of retirement and let it all hang out. Scheduled performers include porn star/singers Colton Ford and Frederick Ford, and NYC drag queen Trai La Trash. Look for porn stars aplenty, with lots of studios in attendance, like Dark Alley Media, Treasure Island Media, and Dirty Boy Video. Donations for this year go to support the New York City Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project; the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom; the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center; and GMSMA, so your dirty day in the sun is a good deed, too. See you there! -JC
