I while back, when I was first interested in medical play, the Dr. was the one to show me different tools and their uses. We currently have about 10 medical tools in our evil drawer all from the Dr.
Dr. Clockwork himself and his company have been a great support of my journey to ICBB this year. And once more will raised the bar on helping the community (come see him perform the first ever Electrified Elven Pinata at the Night of the Misfit Toys (details in previous post))

I was honored to be present for the Mr & Ms New Jersey Leather contest, Where my very good friend Morgaine was sashed Ms New Jersey Leather 2010. Her fantasy was touching and heartfelt. Her speech was from the heart and bared a lot of who she was as not only a person but as a Leather Woman. I had the honor of being the bootblack she chose to tend to her boots for the competition.
I would like to also welcome Damien as Mr New Jersey Leather 2010. Damien’s Leather Heart was showing through constantly throughout the competition.
I can only see awesome things coming out of Jersey this next year.
Congrats!!!
Fundraiser at the Crucible in DC. (Not Mine).
This Fundraiser is going to two seperate charities as listed below.
—
Have you heard about the fact that AIDS in Washington DC has reached epidemic proportions, reaching 3% of the population, three times that of the rest of the country?
Well, it has.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/14/AR2009031402176.html
This means, of course, that the poorest among us who contract this disease are especially hard hit. Where do those without resources go to deal with the devastating results of this plague?
In DC, it’s Joseph’s and Miriam’s Houses.
http://www.josephshouse.org/
http://www.miriamshouse.org/
“The mission of Miriam’s House is to provide a dynamic residential community for women living with HIV disease that empowers recovery from homelessness, disease and addictions in an environment of compassion, integrity, and accountability.”
“The mission of Joseph’s House is to provide a home, nursing services, and community for formerly homeless men and women in metropolitan Washington DC who are terminally ill and in the last weeks or months of their illness. While our primary mission is to those with AIDS, as space is available we also welcome men and women with other terminal illnesses.”
To further complicate things, in these harsh economic times, much of the usual financial support for both these establishments has dried up.
The Crucible has long supported and participated in fund-raising efforts to help these hospices, but we feel it’s time to do more.
On July 11th, we are holding a major fund-raising effort to raise as much money as we can in support of their efforts. This will be a musical extravaganza, featuring the musical talents of half a dozen bands and scores of individual musicians of all musical persuasions ~ Rock, Jazz, Folk & Dixieland Jazz to name a few. At the same time, we will drag out many of the usual fund-raising mechanisms, a casino, 50/50 raffles, silent auction, bikini car wash, etc.
Entry will be $10 per person.
ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE CHARITIES
As the plans start to solidify, we’ll update our web page with further details, and put out periodic posts to keep you informed. Mark it on your calendar. Please spread the news to all you know. This will be a “vanilla” night at the Crucible.
If you have something you’d like to donate, or have a new and different idea that might help raise more, by all means let us know. If you’re particularly flush, and would like to donate matching funds for all, or even part of our efforts we definitely would like to hear from you. If you have a musical talent, or skill (like sound reinforcement) that would be useful, we’re accepting all good help.
Saturday July 11, 2009
Mark it on your calendar.
Please distribute as widely as possible.
For the Crucible,
