The 28th annual Leather Pride Night Auction will take place on Saturday, June 18th, 2011. This year the festivities will be at Arena, 135 West 41 Street. Arena’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. A sign language interpreter will be present and sign the announcements throughout the evening. This year, as every year, there will be a team of bootblacks to keep your boots and shoes looking sharp. We encourage everyone to come early to view the items up for auction, get your boots blacked, and be seen! 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, event passes and tickets, and much more.
There is no photography or cellular telephone photography allowed at the event.
