Hi guys.
The Amsterdam BLUF Hosts & Board wish you all a very much better 2021!
The year 2020 didn't bring what most of us expected from it.
Almost al of our planned BLUF Socials and other events like the Amsterdam Leather Weekend had to be cancelled because of the Covid19 pandemic.
For 2021 it seems to get a bit better, but not very soon. At this moment we still have to maintain lockdown situation, After January its maybe getting better when Covid19 vaccins are given. When it is possible and sane to organize events, we will take action to do so for BLUF Amsterdam.
Till further notice we don't plan and announce yet any BLUF event to prevent expectations and promises we can't keep. And also to prevent more annoying cancelling messages.
We are looking very much forward to give you more joyful announcements about events that will go on. So wait a little and meanwhile keep up the good spirit ( we hope you still have some left.. ;-)
Hosts and Board BLUF Amsterdam.
De gastheren en bestuur van BLUF Amsterdam wenst jullie allen een mooi en nog beter 2021!
Het afgelopen jaar bracht ons niet echt wat veel van ons ervan verwachtten. Bijna alle BLUF Socials en andere events zoals het Amsterdam Leather Pride Weekend vielen in het water en moesten gecanceld worden vanwege de Corona pandemie
Het ziet er langzaamaan naar uit dat 2021 een wat beter jaar gaat worden. Maar op dit moment zitten we nog steeds in de huidige tweede lockdown periode die ook stringenter is dan de vorige in maart-april. In januari wordt gestart met het vaccineren tegen Covid19 en hopelijk wordt het dan snel wat beter met de mogelijkheden rond bezoeken van horeca gelegenheden waarvan wij toch voor een deel afhankelijk van zijn bij het organiseren van events.
Tot nader order willen we echter nog geen definitieve plannen gaan maken voor nieuwe events in 2021. We willen jullie niet iedere keer moeten teleurstellen met het cancellen van BLUF Socials en andere BLUF events, dat is voor niemand leuk. Plannen blijft daarom lastig onder deze pandemie omstandigheden. Zodra het weer goed en verantwoord mogelijk is om een BLUF event te organiseren zullen we daar snel actie op ondernemen.
We zien er als bestuur en gastheren enorm naar uit jullie weer te ontmoeten en om leuker nieuws te brengen over events die wel doorgaan. Daar moeten we voorlopig nog even op wachten. Hou ondertussen vol, probeer elkaar digitaal of telefonisch te steunen en houd de moed er nog even in.
Gastheren & bestuur BLUF Amsterdam
With the extension of the current restrictions in the UK, The Backstreet has announced that they'll not be open until at least July 19th, as expected. We're keeping in touch with them, and we hope to be able to announce some dates for BLUF at The Backstreet later this summer.
BLUF Amsterdam will be back soon! We are currently exploring the possibilities to organize the BLUF Socials again. All is depending on how the battle on Covid19 will go. Your help is needed too. To stay safe, following the Covid19 safety rules when needed, to get your Covid19 vaccination and to attend the socials again :-) We are looking forward to see you again!
BLUF Amsterdam is binnenkort weer terug! Momenteel zijn we de mogelijkheden aan het verkennen om onze BLUF Social weer te gaan houden. Dit alles hangt af van de ontwikkelingen rond de strijd tegen het Coronavirus. En je kunt daarbij helpen. Door de Coronamaatregelen te volgen, zoals afstand houden, je laten vaccineren en om de sociale weer te gaan bezoeken. We zien er naar uit om je te ontmoeten!
We've probably all seen them. The Facebook post about a weird looking website from a friend, in which we and dozens of other people are tagged. Or curious messages saying things like "Is this you in the video?"
They're all often preludes to getting your social media accounts attacked. And for LGBTQ+ people and activists that can be a big problem. It's not just our privacy that's at stake, but that of other people we know. If someone can access your account, they can see the people you've been talking with, the messages you've exchanged. They might even be able to see personal profiles that would otherwise be hidden to them. And in some countries, that could be a matter of life and death.
Keeping your account secure isnt just something about you. It's about protecting everyone else on the sites that you use too. However, it can be complicated, and many people think it's too fiddly. So, we've created a special BLUF guide to explain what you need to do, and how you can set up extra security measures on sites like Twitter and Facebook to protect your account.

…BLUF's website isn't just for our members. You'll find plenty of information available to non-members too, including our listings of leather and fetish vendors, leather venues, and local leather clubs, around the world.
The BLUF events calendar features events worldwide, organised by a wide range of clubs and other groups, and as well as BLUF topics, our blog often includes posts of general interest to the leather community.
Members of BLUF also have access to our online magazine, which includes reports from BLUF events, exclusive photo galleries, and even short stories written by other members. The member forum provides places to share tips or ask for help on a range of topics, incuding For Sale and Wanted sections, travel advice and more.
On your BLUF profile, you can even let people know if you have a guest room, or can show them round your city, and our sophisticated search tools can help you find a bed in a city, or even someone who's into the same things as you, with a playroom, who rides a bike and speaks German.
We're committed to keeping BLUF membership free, with all members getting all the functions of the site. BLUF is funded by donations and sales of BLUF merchandise. Members who donate to BLUF qualify for the BLUF card, which gives discounts at a range of vendors, including Boxer, Clone Zone, Fetish Freak, Mister B and Regulation.
