Dirty Looks on Location - Cuffs
A recreation of an old school cruise bar in the space that originally housed Cuffs. For one night only, Dirty Looks is reclaiming a queer space that helped to define Silverlake as a proving ground for alternative sexuality over three decades. Cuffs was one of dozens of long-lost spaces in the neighborhood that fostered a rebellious, leathery attitude. Collaborators JONESY, CHRIS CRUSE and MR. DRUMMER '79 channel the sleazy spirit of this notorious dive. Cuffs opened in 1981 at the height of the Silverlake leather scene and stayed open until the early Aughts. Situated along the Hyperion Avenue strip among fellow institutions like Basic Plumbing and Pure Trash, the small beer bar had a reputation for being dark and crowded in a manner that fostered a certain degree of camaraderie among its patrons. As the AIDS crisis unfolded and more overtly sexual spaces closed, Cuffs persisted as a laid-back, sleazy hangout. The space was stripped down, with black walls, red lighting and minimal decor. The music was similarly dark and punk/industrial. Sex hung in Cuffs' gloom with it reportedly so dark that whoever entered from outside was blind for a moment before their eyes could adjust. This feature enabled patrons to size-up recent arrivals and zip-up if they appeared to be the vice squad. Dresscode encouraged. More info: Nick W (691)

Palm Springs Leather Pride
Thursday 25 October -> 28 Sunday Oct 18
Palm Springs Leather Pride runs from Thursday October 25th to Sunday October 28th, with lots of great events going on all weekend. Palm Springs Leather attracts a hardcore leather crowd (and none of the straight tourists you'll find at the other California events.) Late October in Palm Springs offers ideal weather; warm enough to hang out by the pool during the day and cool enough at night for full BLUF leather. There are lots of gay resorts and Airbnbs to choose from; several groups of BLUF members organize Airbnb shares, so ask around. More details coming soon
