We will be meeting at the Tool Shed at 7pm.

We will be talking about introducing the idea of polyamory to a partner and negotiating boundaries. We will also start talking about reading Tristan Taormino's book "Opening Up". Copies are available at the Tool Shed, but you do not need to have read the book to attend (although the book is an amazing one and highly recommended for anyone that is in or thinking about being in a non-monogamous relationship!).

As many of you know, QueerCamp happened this past weekend at Bucketworks in Milwaukee. The turnout was a little smaller than expected, but we had amazing topics and conversation ranging from spirituality to transexuality to marketing to queers.

My presentation on Negotiating Non-Monogamy was the first session to kick off the weekend and I got a lot of interesting questions about things like scheduling, jealousy, and coming out. We talked about all the various forms of non-monogamy (not just polyamory) and why you might choose them. The same afternoon we also had a round table discussion on polyamory, so non-monogamy was a well-covered topic of discussion.

I'd like to thank the various members of the Coming Out Poly group that came out and engaged in discussion and learned with us. Thanks for helping us educate people as to what polyamory is, dispel negative myths, and build community!

Tracy and I talked about the possibility of starting an LGBTQ discussion group that would meet monthly. Would you be interested in attending something like that? What would you want to get out of it?

Just so everyone is aware, QueerCamp is this weekend at Bucketworks. You can visit www.queercamp.org to get more information on the event. It's entirely free! Also, here's Bucketworks' site: www.bucketworks.org.

Ashley and I (Boone) will be doing presentations during QueerCamp. Ashley will be doing a Poly 101 session, and I will most likely hold a discussion-based session about poly - to answer questions, discuss poly topics, and other such things. We really hope to see a bunch of folks there and be a part of the community.
