I wish I could make it to BlackBeat this year. It is really where my heart is. Still it looks to be fabulous even without me being there. If you can go, I would really suggest that you make the effort.

BlackBEAT Atlanta Announces Their First Munch
20 07 2009My girl is having ‘net problems, so I will fill your evening tonight with this announcement.
Join the Black Beat Atlanta Munch on Saturday, August 29th @ 2pm at the Jocks n Jills Sports Bar at Galleria
Topics for discussion will be: DomCon Atlanta, potential membership drive, planning for BlackBeat 2010 and misc.
We’ll meet in the private skybox under the name: BBAtl Chat Group
The skybox has been set up where you can order food, drinks, or both, or you can chill enjoy the convo and atmosphere. If you don’t eat or drink, plan to bring a tip for using the skybox.
PLEASE REMEMBER! While this is a sports bar and the dress code might be a bit more liberal, this is still a PUBLIC area. PLEASE KEEP YOUR FETISH WEAR TO A MINIMUM!
Also while the name might be Black Beat, we welcome and encourage all ethnicities, sexualities, and kinks.
ALERT!! Its sad to say it, but we will be in the skybox from 2pm-4pm, so we will start on TIME!
Old saying “If you’re 15 min early, your’re on time, if you’re on time, your’re late.”
I will be there. Will you?

BlackBEAT Atlanta
8 07 2009I got this in my mail, and I thought I would pass it along. If your in the Atlanta area, I expect this to be a great group.
Greetings to all:
Some of you know, others probably will find out soon enough, but we’ve taken the plunge and created Black BEAT Atlanta!
We’ve received permission to put things together, so now I’m emailing most of you that are in the Southeast area as well that might know people that have been wanting to figure out what’s going on.
Those of you on FetLife can find the group under Black Beat Atlanta Munch Group, and I just created the yahoo group earlier this evening as well:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BlackBEATAtlanta
If you know anyone that would be interested in joining and participating in the group, by all means send the email with the link to the yahoo/fetlife group and go from there.
Plans are in the works to do a startup munch in late September, before DOMCON Atlanta.
Hope to see you soon…
Pharaoh Khaf-Ra
You may recalll Pharaoh Khaf-Ra from an earlier post. I wish him and the other leaders of the group luck, and I intend to try to make the September munch, if my work allows. See you there.

Sad News about BlackBEAT Conference
22 06 2009There is some sad news about BlackBEAT this year.
Changes for Black BEAT 09!
Unfortunately, we couldn’t BEAT the economy, even though we had high hopes. Record low registration did not afford us the opportunity to produce the annual conference in a manner befitting to our family. Thus, we must inform you that Black BEAT 09′s 3 day conference has been modified to a one day event. We apologize for this inconvenience, as we know that many of you are using your vacation hours to join us. Please continue to read for refund and other information.
HOWEVER….. . the BEAT goes ON!
In revamping, we’ve planned a special one day 10 hour event, “SURVIVOR’S SATURDAY”, to gather as family and to maintain our BB spirit and momentum. The Caribbean theme survives…we’ re stranded on an island (with a dungeon), so bring your survival gear (toy bags) also!
Our 10 hour marathon will include catered dinner, beverages and munchies, along with several exciting workshops! Presentations will be announced soon, so stay put and tuned in! The dungeon atmosphere, Dom/sub auction, food and play at The Crucible awaits. Street parking is available. Our local vendors will also be there!
If you’d like to stay overnight, a block of only 20 rooms have been reserved at a DC Hotel with affordable rates and minutes from the Crucible . The DC Hotel offers a rate of $89.00 single double per night plus tax and a rate of $109.00 triple quad per night plus tax. Tax is 14.5% in Washington . They offer an all you can eat Full American Breakfast Buffet for $17.00 per person inclusive. Rollaways are available at $20.00 per night per room per night. Microwaves and small refrigerators are available as well at $20.00 each per day.
AND….A *Complimentary Drop off* Shuttle will take you to downtown locations!
If planning to attend, we will forward you the information to secure your room.
so please join us:Black BEAT’s 10 hour “Survival Saturday” event!
When: Saturday August 15th, 2009
Where: The Crucible
Time: 4 PM – 2 AM
Cost for Survivors Saturday is $50.[Payments for Black BEAT's Survivor's Saturday are payable via PayPal] www.paypal.com (send to: blackbeatinc[at]aol.com)
Or, mail your money order to:
Black BEAT Inc.
PO Box 67351
Baltimore, Maryland 21215or you may also pay at the Black BEAT Headquarters Munch on June 27th
…And the BEAT goes ON – Just like our Love – Everlasting!
This change means I can no longer attend. Sigh.
