DomCon ATL Through a Young boy's Eyes

DomCon Atlanta where to start and where to end?
i attended DomConATL last week in the great Southern city of Atlanta, lot of fun in this city for the BibleBelt, the downtown colleges, the historical black colleges, and the Beverly Hills-esque Atlantic Station.
Anyways i stayed with the fabulous Goddess Sadie Hawkins, who was very kind enough to let me spend time with Her and some of Her subs (Spanky and Jah) who were great people, as was Her exquisite roommate. So all you subs who want the real Afrocentric Goddess, pay your respects to Goddess Sadie.

At DomCon ATL itself i helped volunteer as much as i could with various Ladies and classrooms. Two classes i went to made a large impact on me. Sea's submissive concepts class was great to learn more theoretical discussions on the psyche of submission. Also, Charly B had a basic rope bondage class which i loved because i finally got to learn a little bondage. i'm in so often i feel i should learn how to do it as well.
i got a chance to serve at the Mistresses' Dinner which was like heaven because of all the beautiful Women around for me serve.
The venue was pretty spacious for the exhibition floor as well, more room overall.
i also got a chance to meet Mistress Ella Strictland, Mistress Nicolette (of LA), and some Atlanta Mistresses and Leathermen.
Of course some of my favorite people, Domina Irene Boss (Whose new boots i was allowed to worship first, two pairs, very lucky) and Her man, Mistress Ellen and etienne were there as well.

i didn't get to go to the play parties due to after parties, going home early, and shooting video. It was an amazing experience, but also taught me a couple of things as well.

Atlanta is a very different city for BDSM than LA. LA is quite commercialised and in some ways youthful with its BDSM, where it is effervescent through all forms of media. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, BDSM is more subtle, but also more unique in that it is far more reserved for those that know.
There are pros and cons to both, but i will say i found Atlanta a whole lot better than the rest of the South i've been too.

The trip also helped me realize that it is time to break from BDSM overall, the fact that i went to another state for this tells me how much of my life this is taking a part of. Vanilla people learning about what i do and the increased almost "celebrity status" are not things i need right now. So even though i absolutely love the praise i receive from Dommes it's time to kick back and let the hoodman relax with vanilla for awhile.
