outreach's blog

Fair officials estimate that more than 400,000 (yes 400 thousand) folks came out this past Sunday for a hot, sexy, quite kinky Folsom Street Fair. The weather could not have been better.

Society of Janus had an "anchor position" at 11th and Folsom Streets where we unofficially greeted Folsom crowds with education, information and a Charity Spanking and Flogging booth.

We laugh and celebrate too little right now. The economy, joblessness, IOUs from the State, Prop 8 all press upon our good humor and make us just a little crankier.

So when there's good reason to celebrate, we should all take pause.

At this Saturday's Janus Munch, two longtime Janus members will commit to each other in marriage. Todd is a former Janus webmaster and still doing work as historian. Mary was part of the Growing Pains team. They've known each other for three and a half years and now they're sealing the bond.
