NYC's 25th ANNUAL LEATHER PRIDE NIGHT AUCTION
Saturday, June 21st, 2008
The 25th annual Leather Pride Night Auction will take place on Saturday, June 21st, 2008.
This year the festivities will be at Splash! 50 W. 17th Street. SPLASH!’s doors will open for
LPN at 6:00 PM, and the auction will run from 7 PM until 10:00 PM. Liquor, beer, wine and soft
drinks will be provided at a cash bar. Light finger food will be served. A sign language
interpreter will be present throughout the evening. This year, as every year, there will be a
team of bootblacks to keep your boots and shoes looking sharp. All tips go toward the event’s
total for the beneficiaries.
MC’s Susan Wright, writer and activist, and Leatherman of Color 2007, “Doc” Hoskins will keep
the evening moving, directing attendees to the varying activities and announcing the opening
and closing of the auction times.
Jo Arnone, LPN's veteran auctioneer, will preside over almost a
hundred items being auctioned, including leather and latex fetish
clothing, unique toys and equipment, art objects, Broadway theater
tickets, and much more.
