    flags   7 years, 11 months ago · View

    Hello Everyone, My name is Jon Lopez, you have probably seen my
    partner Jared and I at Fusion, and before my ex and I Richie at
    Pleasuredome, anyway I just got the title of Sacrmento Leatherboy
    and was asked to walk inn the parade this year,I saw someone with a
    pair of leatherpride flaggs, and was wondering if I could possibly
    borrow a pair to play in the parade, Leather contingent has never
    done this but I want to. So if anyone does it would be greatly
    appreciated. I can be reached at this address or jcleathers
    @hotmail.com , I will give Home#,and cell adreesss ect. personally.
    thank you,
    Jon Lopez

    Poi   8 years, 1 month ago · View

    Hi my name is Jon Lopez , my partner and I Jared were at Fusion,
    Sunday and Jared met Jack one of the flaggers, and I love his style
    of spinning,what I was interested in was the way he made a pair of
    what I am guessing part poi/flag? They were flags bright red, on
    what looked like a red rope at one end, with weight in the center,
    I would be grateful if I could get info on these, they look like a
    lot of fun to play , Thanks , Jon

    Staright Flaggers   8 years, 1 month ago · View

    Hi my name is Jon Lopez ,I live in Sacramento, ca. moved from S.F.,
    There unfortunately is one dance club here, so there is a mixture of
    everything, something of which I still have a hard time dealing
    with.My experience with straight people in what is supposed to be a
    gay club has not been very good, as far as flagging goes.They either
    want to do one of two things walk right through you like idiots
    while you are flagging or try to talk to you while you are flagging,
    which I find to be very frustrating to say the least, sometimes I
    just feel I want to purposely whack them a few times, even though My
    partner an I try to stay out of their way, they still persist. As
    far as the straight men go they just don,t want to be bothered So
    that is my experience. To Don Baker, are you ever out this way ? I
    would really like to learn first hand how to dye silk flaggs ,
    unfortunately the way I learn is by watching, not by reading

    Trocadero opening one night?   8 years, 1 month ago · View

    I’ve heard that The Old Trocadero is going to be opened for one
    night in April. Does anyone know which night? Have I missed it, and
    will there be flagging space available?

    Like Jack, I’m so pleased to see the group reaching some moderation
    in the Nazi Flagger Drama. It seems odd to me that sometimes fear is
    the last thing we’re willing to let go of. This is one of the very
    reasons that I started flagging. While I’m flagging, all of that
    fear based energy becomes transformed. To my knowledge I’ve never
    met Flagger Nazi, though I hope that at some point I have the
    opportunity, as I would like to meet everyone involved in flagging.
    I would embrace the man just as I would embrace someone who called
    themselves Christian even though many Christians are even as we
    speak persecuting many of us for our sexual preferences.

    Peace everyone,
    Spike

    to Jewels / Dinos flags.   8 years, 5 months ago · View

    Hey Jewels,  If you need an endorsement for Dino’s flags I’m giving one. I’ve purchased 2 pair & love them both. They’re visually dynamic & fly like a dream. I highly recommend his work.
     
    Cheers,

    Thanks guys…   8 years, 6 months ago · View

    WOW! Thanks for such a quick & thourough response to my silk/stress points problem. Well, it all makes sense & I will apply this advice to my next flags. A special thanks to Allen for the spinning advice. I’m still relatively new to this art though with my gymnastics & dance background I seem to have a natural affinity to it. Thanks again for all your advice. I’ll put it to good use.

    Advice & classes   8 years, 6 months ago · View

    Hey guys, Spike here. Does anyone have  suggestions for avoiding the stress points in china silk when sewing weights into flags. If I use just the zig zag stitch, stress points appear soon after I’ve flown them a few times & eventually result in holes & tearing.. Also are there any flag making classes left in SF? If so, when & where?
     
    A special thanks to Dino… DUDE!! I love my flags. Thanks
