"There is no coming to consciousness without pain"
Well, I just got here. That's not really true anymore, but all this still feels new and exploration-worthy to me.
I'm not really good with this whole 'talk about myself' affair, so if you'd want to know what, why and how I got into all of this, please read the story of my personal ascension.
I definitely seem to have developed a passion for body suspension. And because this community seems to be THE place to be to live that passion, I decided to join your little world here. I want to learn as much as I can about it.
No Forum - but I like getting messages. And don't be afraid of the tracking thingie; it doesn't bite.

Ow, so I promised to upload this an eternity ago...sorry, folks! So, without further ado, here's some hot action of Tracie checking out Becky's anatomy during her first suspension in Oslo last month:

still no proper Dallas suscon entry, sorry folks. I know, I suck at
this thing, but....
Seeing that I'm greatly enjoying attending this
years' Oslo suscon at the moment, I honestly don't feel like I
should spend my time staring at a computer screen, groping for words
for something I cannot seem to find any for. I know some of you are waiting...
Anyway, here I am, enjoying the view out to Oslo Fjord from my 24th
floor room (first picture), feasting on the best hotel breakfast I have
seen in a long time (hooray for room service!) and preparing myself for
another day of meeting old and new friends, watching even more awesome suspensions, doing a bit of sightseeing (I'll plan on seeing the Viking ship museum and doing a leisurely stroll through Vigelandsparken) - and my own upcoming suspension later today.
This marks the 10th time I'll be suspending from hooks in my skin, and
all I can say is that I'm more nervous than ever before. That includes the first time. Well, we're going to see how this will work out!
I did include a few pictures for your pleasure, and there's more to
come. Sadly, the corporate treadmill has me again tomorrow, so no
afterparty gangbangbrand for me, sadly. I'll donate my
trasure cove of alcoholic beverages to the good cause, though :)
And while I'm at it:
I attend the Swiss IAM meeting last month, and finally managed to do a
DIY suspension - something I wanted to do ever since I started out with
this two-something years ago. After the "learning" experience in
Dallas, I finally felt comfortable and confident nough to take this one
on.
I have no words for this even now, but it was the most intense, most
rewarding and most treasured experience ever. As far as personal
enlightenment goes, this experience rates right up there together with
my first one.A huge "thank you" goes out to this community, especially
to those who have taught me things and guided me through it - you know
who you are, there's too many names to list!
Here's some pics - I thought there'll be so many others showing people suspending, I guess I'll concentrate on other subjects. There'll be more!
To all who'd want to see really nice pics of those NOW - check out Stephans' page!
He knows how to photograph - and my $99 "suspension camera" really
isn't up to the task of handling low-light conditions....

I *should* find the time over this long weekend - May1 is 'labour day' in most of Europe. I've been so terribly busy with work and personal stuff ever since getting back home that I just didn't get anything done, sorry.
Awesome doesn't describe this event properly. I'll definitely be back next year!
Oh, and I`d REALLY be grateful if anyone who has taken pictures of my suspension could send them to me. I gave my camera to Aurora and got lots of pictures from the time I put my hooks in (yes! myself! DIY!) until the battery gave out right when I finally made it up.

I got into town and checked into "my" house last night. The place is
cool (there's even trees in the yard to suspend off from ;),
really easy to get to and only a 10-minute freeway drive from the event.
Those who are staying with me and would want to get a hold of me
while here please note my phone no: 702-466-5892. That's an
AT&T "pay as you go" thing I got for this purpose as it's a lot
cheaper to use this than to pay $2.50 a minute international roaming
charges on my regular one....
The "touristy" part of this trip is almost over now but was awesome so
far.
Although my planning was somewhat thwarted by Mother Nature and I had
to cut out some of the things I wanted to see, as it isn't really a
good idea to go out hiking overnight in freezing weather and a couple
inches of fresh snow in the mountains and I had to wait for the weather
to improve, I still managed to see a lot. Especially the trip down to
the river at Grand Canyon was impressive, and I definitely will be back
there!
and now some quick pictures before I'm off to the airport to get Mikey
and Rolf. More to follow. Soon. :)
edit: I have no idea why these come out sideways. Will fix later...

Right now, I`m arranging my travel plans around attending Allen Falkner's birthday suscon that's scheduled to take place in Dallas April 17-19. Really looking forward to it!
Vacation request was approved a while ago, and I just booked my
flights. I`ll be flying into Vegas on the 8th, and back from Dallas on
the 22nd.
For the week's time leading up to the event, I plan on doing a nice
road trip
around the sights the American Southwest has to offer, starting from
Las Vegas and visiting Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns and the like (planned
itinerary so far). I`d be open for any suggestions
as to what I shouldn't miss seeing! Tell me! (Also, I would not mind
company...)
I`ll be in Dallas forg a week from the 15th until the 22nd and have
gotten me a house there. Yes, a real vacation-property house - with
a bedroom or two to spare to stay for fellow suscon attendees, about a
10-to-15-minute drive to the suscon venue.
Thought this would be an economically as well as socially viable
alternative to staying in cramped hotel rooms. Tell me when you'd want
to share!
