Hi Tommy, I am very happy to report that we had a successful
AB-QUE in Long Beach, CA. I am overwhelmed by the turn out yesterday!
I think we had close to 30 people here in my little house, running
around in diapers, playing Uno and having a blast.
Among the food was carne asada, filet mignon, zucchini, onions,
rice, beans, chips, salsa, tortillas chicharones, jello salad,
fruit, lollipops, animal crackers and cookies. The food was muy
bueno!
Thanks to all who brought goodies for a feast to go down in the
diapered archives. Thanks to all who attended, and a special thanks
to Larry, Daddieslilangel and Jeannette (Little One) for assisting.

Dear Tommy, Well, the South has done it again!!! Another successful
event has come and gone with many fond memories taken home by
those who attended the 4th Annual Southeastern Regional DiaperFest
Party. A big thank you to all those who came to this event and
made it possible, as it is you who make this event a success year
after year. This years event was held in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee,
home of Dollywood theme park as well as Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. The event went from Sept. 19-22 in a cabin (7 bedroom,
3 story mountain top log home) that provided panoramic views of
the mountains. The cost was only $150 per person for bed-space
as well as food (2 dinners and 3 breakfasts) and drink for the
entire event.
We had our Pre-DiaperFest party Wed. night, Sept. 18, prior to
the event in Knoxville for those who got into town early. There
were eight of us there for the festivities. We had dinner at Ruby
Tuesdays; then went out on the town to some local bars. On Thursday
most went around town exploring things like the aquarium while
Charles and I went shopping for the food for the weekend's events.
We had a fun time finding the cabin office to check in as we separated
from the group and all the info. was in the van that Jim, John
& I rode in up from Florida. Luckily, by my sense of direction
and memory of the map they sent, we stumbled upon the office and
were able to check in early. We made it to the cabin by 3pm and
set up camp. Others arrived shortly after (some getting lost finding
their way 2 miles up hill, winding thru the mountains and cabins).
We all got our bed assignments (AKA Cribs) and got comfortable,
while munchies were put out for all to munch on.
Everyone was glad to see old friends again and make new ones.
We were scheduled to have 27 people there but some last minute
cancellations made the numbers at 22 - a comfortable amount for
an event. People came from MA, CO, GA, MD, AL, NJ, IA & FL.
Thursday night was the BBQ supper with all the fixins, including
pork, beef & chicken, baked beans, corn, garden salad, macaroni
salad, cole slaw and rolls. Plans were finalized for the next
day's events, with most opting to go to Dollywood. Some opted
to go explore the Smokies. Many sat on the decks watching the
sun set over the mountains and valley below, chatting until the
wee hours of the morning. Continental breakfast was served from
7-9am; then we split up and headed to our outing of the day. The
weather was sunny and hot. Dollywood was enjoyed by most people,
and if you have not been - go! It is full of crafty displays and
goods, some cool and refreshing water slides, rides, roller coasters,
steam locomotive train ride and even a magician. There are also
numerous shows throughout the day from rock n roll to southern
gospel to country and bluegrass. There is even a Doo Wop group
that performs. I have been there a few times before and still
have not seen it all. The finale of the day is Randy Parton, Dolly
Parton's brother. He puts on a show with all types of music and
is worth staying for at closing - and is free. We all met at Duffs
Buffet for dinner out, and met up with Jim from Iowa. I think
most everyone invaded the restaurant for dinner that night. We
then headed back to the cabin (AKA Day Care Center) to play Baby
Bingo. We played 9 rounds of bingo where gifts of all types were
given out - over $180 worth of gifts I had purchased. They ranged
from Lego toy sets to a bouncing Monster Inc., paddle ball set,
and magnetic dart board. The final 2 prizes were a pair of binoculars,
and grand prize was a telescope. Everyone enjoyed the games and
excitement of trying to win the prizes.
Saturday morning those who wanted breakfast got up early and headed
out to Golden Corral for a buffet breakfast. Everyone got their
fill of food and we had to say good-bye to Adam who had to leave
due to work. The rest of us split up and went out exploring the
area, shopping, cave exploring, and a few of us, myself included,
played Mini Golf - in the rain!!! It was not raining when we started,
but by the 3rd hole, it was a down pour. We kept on just like
real golfers do. By the end we did not care who won - we just
wanted to finish cuz we were soaked inside and out!!! I jumped
in the jacuzzi when I got back to warm up and relax before the
troops returned for Happy Nappy Hour in the late afternoon. From
4 to 6 we had hot munchies served (thanks to John for all the
help in the kitchen - due to Daddy Chef Behr's absence this year
- hence the catered food).
During the Happy Nappy Hour Jim helped out by taking photos of
those who wanted them against the mountain and valley backdrop.
People were requested to dress up in their best outfit for the
photo shoot. Lee helped out next by editing and pasting the photos
into a souvenir picture that was printed out and framed for each
person. It really made a nice gift for each person. Dinner was
served at 6pm and consisted of Southern Fried Chicken, macaroni
& cheese, garden salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw and buns.
A feast was enjoyed by all. After dinner it was time for a Lets
Make A Diaper Deal game. Each attendee (pun intended) was asked
to bring a gift in value of $20-30 that was wrapped in birthday
paper or in a gift bag. Now, this might make it easy for others
to know what certain gifts were, so I (being devious) brought
along many large gift bags (since most want a big bag) and rewrapped
most of the gifts and/or switched contents of gift bags so what
you thought you might have known about a gift might not be true.
Now no one knew what was in which gift bag. This added to the
suspense and excitement. There were many great gifts this time
from fully stocked diaper bags, backpacks, collector edition games,
PDA (personal digital assistant), remote controlled trucks, statues
of comic figurines and even a queen size air bed to name a few.
Sunday morning we all got and picked over the continental breakfast
while cleaning up and packing up to go home. I was impressed how
quickly everyone cooperated to get this task done so we could
make planes or head out for the long drives ahead for some of
us. It was sad to see it end, as many of us wish we could have
stayed for another week. Perhaps we will go back next year or
the one after it. I am always looking for a place that can hold
a large group of people, located near a major airport or within
a couple hours drive. If anyone has a suggestion for a location
to hold the next Southern Regional DiaperFest event, please contact
me at my email address so I can check it out. Stay tuned for more
information on the next event - the annual DiaperFest "03"
Mid-Winter Warm-Up Party. This event is usually held in February
here in the Sunshine State of Florida for all you Snowbirds who
like to escape to the warm sunny south for a few days of diapered
relaxation. The specific dates and times will be announced shortly.
Email me, or check on-line at DPF Party posts. See ya'll real
soon again, Bamm Bamm

When you love your diapers, and you're an active gang of ABDL's,
you never need an excuse for a great get-together. But this time
we certainly had one! On Saturday, November 23rd, 17 "BostonBabies"
ABDL's got together to bid a fond farewell to "Uncle Gary",
who is loading up the buggy and heading to Albany, NY. Our loss
is Albany's gain! Gary, who gives some of the best diaper changes
of anyone, will soon be in the Albany area, so look out Albany
- you may have a new party host on your hands! BostonBabies remember
fondly Gary's fabulous New England parties, complete with Cutest
Baby Contests, outdoor BBQ's, Sexiest Pantswetter Contests (ok,
that one only happened once, but it is etched in our collective
memory forever), and personally customized plastic-coated baby
buttons as name-tags. Albany people are welcome to make themselves
known to Gary at cobaltt@earthlink.net.
At our party the group of 17 included 3 couples (one of whom met
through DPF and have been together 5 years!) and 11 singles. A
wide range of interests were represented, from AB to BDSM to Grunge
to Babyfurs. Everyone got along splendidly, sharing stories of
their lives in diapers, their interests, past diapered outings,
eBay purchases, etc. The anchor of this luncheon was Daddy Steven,
who cooked Penne Amatriciana and Linguini Arrabiata throughout
the party, complemented by a veggie platter, various chips and
snacks, a mesclun greens salad garnished with pine nuts and caramelized
bell peppers, and of course, plenty of juice, soda, beer, wine,
and a fruity but potent "baby formula", to be enjoyed
on the rocks, or in a bottle or sipper cup!
Ages ranged from 18 to 60, both male & female, AB & DL,
so it was a diverse crowd - something for everyone. Of course,
the line for the changing room was understandably longer than
the line for the bathroom. Both cloth diapers (with plastic pants)
and disposables were in use. Most attendees remained under-dressed
in diapers, until everyone arrived. Generally in a house party,
people under-dress their diapers and look reasonably discreet
(other than diaper bags over their shoulder!), until they are
safely within the confines of the party. Once the food and wine
was flowing and all were present, more baby outfits, baby bottles,
diapers encased only in cute plastic pants, and the familiar lavender
of Molicares came into view.
Baby Brandyn (with a newbie in tow!) brought along "Dance
Dance Revolution (DDR), so several of our party-goers took a shot
at jumping on the arrow pads, trying to match the arrows on the
screen to their feet on the pads, and stomping to the beat. I'd
seen this game in arcades, but never seen folks in just diapers
playing! As always, people who are interested in making diaper
friends, networking, attending parties or diaper-underdressed
social gatherings, and getting more out of their enjoyment of
diapers by sharing it with like-minded enthusiasts are welcome
to contact BostonBabies party hosts, Joey Anderson or Neal Barrie

Dear Tommy, It is hard to believe that another diaper party has
come and gone. This is the 8th party that I have organized over
the past 5 years. Each one gets better and better, not to mention
easier to do. This year, the threat of war combined with the weather
reeked havoc, making the attendance lower than expected. There
were 25 people in attendance with about 12 cancellations at the
last minute. Thanks to those who contacted me and let me know
they were not attending to those who did not, shame shame shame!!!
It is polite to let the host/co-host know if you cannot make it.
The event started on Thursday, with about 14 folks in town that
night. Everyone but me went to dinner at Ft. Myers Ale House for
dinner. A good time was had by all at dinner as they got reacquainted
or made new friends. When they returned, I ushered them to the
lanai. A surprise treasure hunt game was in order. While they
were out, I hid Crayola crayon diaper pins throughout the living
areas of the house. Prizes were awarded for each pin found. Poor
Paul had a hard time and was the last to find a pin cleverly hidden
in the candy.
Friday morning started off with a continental breakfast buffet
at Party Central, aka John M's house. Groups of people paired
off for a days outing. 6 people went on a casino day cruise while
the rest of us went to tour the Edison-Ford Winter Estates. Tony
was the big winner on the Casino Cruise but everyone had a memorable
time. The tour of the Estates was very informational and enjoyable.
Did you know that Edison held 1093 patents and the alkaline battery
made him the most famous, not the light bulb? If you ever make
it to SW Florida, I recommend taking this tour.
We all reconvened in the afternoon for munchies and a buffet dinner
of sandwiches, meatballs and sauce, salads, and cheesecake bites
for dessert. More folks showed up and we all sat around chatting
about ourselves and diapers. A discussion arose about movies and
I had not seen Bugs Life, so we ended up putting the movie on
and snuggled up in the family room to watch the movie. Many stayed
up late at night while some went back to their hotels to crash.
Saturday morning started off with another continental breakfast
buffet. The remainder of folks arrived and met everyone. Afterwards,
those who did not get to see it went off to tour the estates.
Others had to do some shopping for their gift for the Let's Make
A Diaper Deal game to be played that night. I stayed at Party
Central to prepare for the nights feast. Appetizers were out in
the afternoon as people returned from their outings. A big thanks
to the Angelica for going out of your way to pick up a newbie
to not only diapers but the whole scene. Welcome Nancy!!!
Dinner buffet was served at 6pm, complete with Southern Fried
Chicken, meatballs and sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans,
tossed garden salad, Cole Slaw, roll and butter. Dessert was cake
and ice cream served after the game we played. Everyone enjoyed
the buffet as there was very little left!!! Around 8pm, we played
Let's Make A Diaper Deal game. Everyone was required to bring
a gift in value of $20-30, wrapped anonymously and for any age
from child to adult. Being my evil self, I rewrapped some of the
gifts in other gift bags, since everyone wants a big box or bag!!!
No one, including myself, knew what was in which bag as I moved
them around so much, I lost track. Everyone had fun unwrapping
a new present or snatching someone else's gift, making the game
more fun and interesting. For sure, the most tossed around game
was the 5-in-1 game set. Sunday morning was an extra special buffet
with hot dishes (sausage biscuit sandwiches and French toast sticks)
in addition to the continental buffet. The morning was spent exchanging
addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc. before saying good-bye.
Those who did not have to leave ended up going to the movies in
the afternoon. The list of people that attended the party is as
follows:
John M.Mid Winter Warm Up Co-Host, Ft. Myers. M. Lutz, FL., Kevin
M, Lutz, FL. Todd M, Tampa, FL. Tony C., Atlanta, GA. Andy S.,
Augusta, GA. Jed H, Homosassa Springs, FL. Billy R., Zephyrhills,

Ft Myers, FL & NY. Daddy Dan, Green Acres, FL. Nancy, Ft Myers,
FL., Jeff S, Loxahatchee, FL
A discussion was brought up about where to do the next Diaperfest
party. Though we all have enjoyed the places we have visited in
the southeast over the last 5 years, we would like to venture
once again. Typically, the winter party is held in Florida and
the September party is held in the Southeastern USA. We have done
the North meets South party in 2001. We are now wanting to do
an East meets West A National Party if you will. I know in the
past it has been attempted but failed but feel that it might be
able to work this time if enough people get involved.
The location discussed was Las Vegas, Nevada. This is an ideal
location for the diversity of the area. Most people can get a
cheap package deal including airfare and hotel. The hotel of choice
was discussed and came up with the Excalibur hotel. It is a medieval
theme'd resort that is right in the hub of most action. I am going
to be checking into the group rates and hospitality suite for
group functions. Food is cheap there and offers anything from
fine dining to buffets.
You would be responsible for your own reservation for airfare,
hotel room, rent-a-car (if you really want one) and any entertainment
you desire to do. All that would be asked to chip in for the parties
is a small fee to cover the cost of the hospitality suite and
any munchies or refreshments consumed while at the parties. All
costs are to be determined by how many attend. We would like to
do a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night stay. That would amount
to 3 days for a room and the suite. The dates have been discussed
and it will be held August 14-17, arriving on Thursday and departing
Sunday night. I know that is a hot time there but I have been
there and it is not that bad as you are usually indoors. It is
also a cheaper time to go there. Nearby points of interest include
Death Valley, Grand Canyon, London Bridge and Hoover Dam. You
are welcome to come in early or stay later if you so desire.
In closing, if you have never been to a diaper party, please go.
It is a safe fun way to explore diapers, realize you are not alone
while meeting lots of great people from all over. Make the effort
to meet new people. You won't regret it! Email me at Diprfest@tampabay.rr.com

Dear Tommy, The IML Party last weekend (what we hope will be
the first annual) was a HUGE success! A rough head count suggested
about 25 babies and daddies in attendance (and in Attends) from
all over the Midwest, ranging in age from 25 to mid 50s. The party
got started around 7pm and ran strong until about 12:30am. Since
it was IML weekend, a lot of the babies also brought some very
fun bondage equipment, including locking puppy mutts, wrist and
ankle restraints and even a couple of straitjackets! (I got to
try one of those on for a while, had a fantastic time in it).
After the party wound down about a half dozen of us headed over
to IML to show off our diapers to the leather crowd and had a
lot of fun there, too. It's very cool to see how diapers are becoming
more and more accepted and appreciated within the conventional
S/M scene. In any case, a great time was had by all and we're
planning to have lots more parties over the course of the summer.

try again next year because I want a new start. I am going to

Dear Tommy, About a dozen brave bABies took off into the Wyoming
Wilderness the last week of June. They had to drive 15 miles up
the mountain road to the "Goat Trail" (4WD trail) and
then a couple more miles up the mountain to the remote camp site.
Dougie and a couple other bABy friends had the tents all set up
and the camp fire blazing when the other bABies arrive. There
was no need for an ice cooler as there was a nice snow drift by
the camp site to store the food in. The bABies called it the refrigerator.
Since it was 17 miles to the nearest toilet, all of the bABies
were told they had no choice but to "do it in their diapers".
Not surprisingly, every bABy seemed to be happy about that! It
wasn't long before the CHANGING ROOM was being put to good use.
A couple of the bABies arrived very late at night. They made a
lot of noise (as bABies sometimes do) and managed to wake up the
others.
Early the next day (about 9:00 AM) they were awakened to the sound
of reveille - "You got get up - you gotta get up in the mourning".
Fortunately there were other bABy songs on the CD that were not
as obnoxious. By the time breakfast was over there were some very
messy bABies - I mean not just their diapers. They had bABy food
all over their bibs and bABy cloths. One bABy had roast marshmallow
covered with applesauce all over his face and bib. After everyone
got cleaned up we went on the hike. Just hiking booties and diapers
were allowed. We had to stop along the trial for some much needed
changes. The used diapers were a good way to mark the trial so
we could find our way back again (better than Hansel and Gretle's
food crumbs - nothing eats used diapers!!) When we got back to
camp everyone was getting wet again - this time with the "ole
west" traditional shoot out (ya, a squirt gun war broke out!
Of course, some bABies managed to get pretty soggy even if they
never got shot! bABy camp 2004 will be the last weekend of June.
Please check the "Future Parties" page for next year's
Wyoming Wilderness bABy camp (only for bABies who are legal age).

Dear Tommy, All who attended the "Housewarming" for
William in Hillsboro, Oregon enjoyed themselves. It all started
with us arriving at different times on Friday evening. Those who
arrived - Inky from Salem, Baby Joey, Momi Darla and John from
Roseburg, and Baby Kiona, Daddy Jessie from Portland. We enjoyed
watching favorite videos until bedtime. On Saturday morning most
of us were up by 9 am. The Host, William, had to be woken up with
banging at his door (sorry for loosening up the screws, William)
telling us to "Get the hell out of here!" What a wake
up call. If not for Baby Joey's thermos of coffee, some of us
wouldn't have gotten our morning dose of it. All of us got dressed
in out cute bib overalls/shortalls (all of them made by Baby Joey)
except John, who wore his "weed" shirt.
By Noon we were ready to head off for the Oregon Zoo. We were
met by Mommy Daisy of Portland (she, by the way, is available
for other ABies who would like to have a mommy for a time in the
Portland area), and later were joined by "little" baby
Joe, also from Portland. We all had a good time, except Inky didn't
get to see his cousins while he was there, as no one else wanted
to see the primates.
After a tiring afternoon, returned to William's home where a couple
of us who desperately needed diaper changing was assisted by Mommy
Daisy in getting that accomplished. Baby Kiona was also changed
out of her very thick double padded disposable diaper by her daddy.
Once dry and clean, William treated us to a great BBQ and spent
some time introducing each other to "little" baby Joe
- to us and our group. It's exciting to see new members joining
us.
Several of us left William's home and sleepover before 8:30 PM
while those remaining enjoyed a bubble bath from Mommy Daisy or
watching a "Cheech & Chong" movie, remaining until
early Sunday morning.
Needless to say everyone enjoyed themselves and look forward to
further activities. In October we will be heading for Roseburg
and to warm up Baby Joey's and Momi Darla's new home as well.
They will let us know when sleepover will be. We'll make plans
to ride down together - carpooling from Salem, so let us know,
Joey and Darla, when we can come down in October.
Thanks, William, for hosting us. You did a great job of hosting
us. If interested in joining us in the future here in Oregon,
email me about dates to join us. Paul Freeman, PMB 396, 3760 Market

Dear Tommy, I wanted to thank everyone who came together on the
spur of the moment to welcome some newbies to the Diaperfest community.
The Crib Party was organized on Thursday night and held at my
home in Tampa. We had 12 diaper wearers in attendance with 3 newbies.
Everyone enjoyed meeting each other and seeing old friends - evidenced
by the party lasting until 2am. Poor Joe, my partner, had to get
up at 6am for work and was tired. The distance award goes to Brian,
who traveled up from Ft. Lauderdale. I'm glad he stayed over rather
than drive back in the middle of the night. It was great to see
everyone, and lets do it again soon. Anyone up for going to see
the new movie about the guy who regresses back to a kid again?
"Dickie something or another" is the title? Lets do
dinner and a movie. Let me know. Crib Parties are smaller events
held more frequently during the year to welcome newbies and see
old friends. So if you are coming to the Tampa area or Florida
or are a newbie in Florida, email me and we can see about having
another party in your honor! They are a more intimate way to meet
people without the stress of a large crowd. Bamm Bamm. Jeffrey

Dear Tommy, the Diaperfest Viva Las Vegas event was held August
15-17 at the Excalibur Hotel. We had 20 people in attendance from
all over the country. It was great to have people from both coasts
mesh into one group for a fun filled weekend. In the past, the
South has had many parties in Florida as well as the Southeast,
including a North Meets South party and the annual Mid Winter
Warm Up party in Feb. Last Feb we discussed a trip out West to
meet some new people and have a fun weekend away with other diaper
folks. Many places were discussed, but in the end Vegas won out,
and the event was planned. Many others have tried to organize
and event like this, and it has not worked out.
I was thankful for all the support from the others who have tried
or thought about trying to plan a party of this sort. There were
many people who emailed me and said "count me in" but
never showed up - but in the end we had a great group. Some people
arrived early to do more, and some arrived late or stayed later
to have more fun. Daddy Bob and Denny got in early on Thursday
and hosted a dinner meeting for those early arrivals - aka premies
(LOL - giggles). I arrived that night late and got my room and
a bite to eat and off to bed.
In the morning we all met down in the food court area to break
off into smaller groups to do events. I took a group on a walking
tour of the Strip. All the monorails were not working (figures
- lol) so we opted to walk. It was hot but not that bad. We had
plenty of fluids to keep hydrated so we could wet ourselves. Some
of us went up in the Eiffel Tower (wonder if they ever had so
many guys in wet diapers up there at once?) Others went off to
tour Hoover Dam. Most of us met back up for dinner that night
and went to a restaurant for dinner, but I opted out since I had
a late lunch and was not hungry.
That evening, Sabrina Leathers hosted a party in his room and
had an intimate group there. Thanks!!! Others went to Fremont
Street, gambled (couple big winners - we had way to go guys!!)
or took in shows. Those who made it up in time broke back off
into groups to do other outings during the day on Saturday, and
I once again took a group out on the Strip tour, but this time
we bussed it to the far end and walked back thru the Casinos.
We met for another dinner at night, and some were out at shows
as well. Casino tours at night were fun as well, and I must say
it was fun to hang back and walk behind the group to watch expressions
and comments from people passing by. Baby Tommy was quite a hoot
as he was wearing bib overalls, thick diapers, paci clipped to
the bibs or in his mouth and a boyish print shirt.
There was a couple that went by on the moving walkways, and the
guys said, "What the F*#@ was that", while another couple
commented about him "sucking a pacifier"!!! Way to go
Tommy - have fun and enjoy yourself!!! Sunday was bitter sweet
as it was time to say good-by to new and old friends. Most of
us flew out late at night on a redeye or on Monday morning. I
was on the redeye and enjoyed a day at the pool with George while
others were at Star Trek Experience. I had a great dinner with
Paul, Tony and George at the MGM buffer - thanks guys for the
great meal and company!!!! I then headed to the airport for my
flight home. It was sad to go as it was a lot of fun.
I was a bit disappointed by the turnout, as I was expecting more
people from the emails I got and posts to the Diaperfest Yahoo
group. Don't know why they did not show, but it is their loss
as they missed out on a memorable time. There is a lot of work
putting together a party (that people never see). Answering all
the emails, making arrangements, food, beverage, events, etc.
This one was not as involved, but still took a lot of time to
coordinate. The hotel did not do what they promised us - to have
all the rooms together on one floor in one tower. Instead, we
were scattered about the hotel in all towers, floors, etc. But
we made the best of it, as we were not in the rooms that much
anyway!
As a result of the lack of turnout for this event and the time
it takes to put on these events, I have decided to do only one
large event a year in Florida during the winter months (Mid Winter
Warm Up). I will be having what I call "Crib Parties",
which will be smaller scale, more informal parties - to welcome
newbies to the Tampa Bay area and Florida. They will be more spur
of the moment events that may include a house party, dinner out,
movies, beach day or camping event. I feel these smaller events
are a great way for "Newbies" to meet others without
the stress of the larger parties. See my Crib Party report for
details about these events. If someone wants to have a party in
their area of the Southeast, I will be glad to offer pointers,
help and assistance with planning, promoting and coordinating
the events, food and fun. Just email me with any info you have.
On that note - there will be a Mid Winter Warm Up Party to be
held in Ft. Myers, Florida again this year during February. Stay
tuned for more info on this Southwest Florida event. I am looking
for volunteers or places to host diaper parties in Florida. Let
me know if you have a place we could invade!!!! Bamm Bamm. Jeffrey

Dear Tommy, We had an overflow crowd forcing us to move out into
the large banquet room. We were told that there could not be anymore
than 12 in the smaller room, and since we had 13, had to move
out. We gladly did. Here's a list of the ones who came:
Max from Shelton, Washington
Little Joe - Lotusman from Portland
John - Digital Trains 100 from Roseburg
Toddler Joey and Momi Darla from Roseburg
Baby William from Hillsboro
Inky Wonky from Salem
Jeremy - Goliath Or from Portland
Matt - WamBrown from Tacoma, Washington
DeathPuck and fiancee from Newburg, Oregon
James - Casper from Salem
Another gentleman (sorry I couldn't remember his name) from Sellwood,
Oregon.
I will be announcing our next munch, to be held the second weekend
in November down in the Eugene/Springfield area. And also will
announce our December 1 as well. The day was splendid and look
forward to others joining us. Sincerely, Paul Freeman, PMB 396,

Dear Tommy, Another successful Crib Party was held in Tampa
on Nov 8th. Joe and Ken from Boston were here along with Alex
from England and Andy from GA. I managed to gather 18 people for
the event in less than 2 weeks. A great time was had by all, sitting
around chatting with the newbies and rehashing memories with old
diaper friends. We had a potluck buffet of meatballs with red
sauce, meat, cheese and veggie trays, chips. Desserts and refreshments
abounded. Many diaper changes occured and filled the trash bin
to overflow - like the diapers!!! We had a demonstration in shrink
wrapping as well. There were 5 guys wrapped up individually while
wearing only diapers. Then we wrapped 3 and 2 of the guys together
and had fun putting ice down between the plastic and their skin.
Kirkie also brought some bondage gear and let whoever wanted,
try things out in a safe manner. I am sure we will have another
Crib party over the holidays, so look for announcements for my
annual Mid Winter Warm Up party that will be held in Feburary
again. Date to be announced soon and the location will be Ft Myers,
Florida, once again...Thanks to the gracious offer of ABJohn to
volunteer his home once again to host the party at. Last year's
party had about 37 people there with 3 from overseas. Lets do
that again!!! A big welcome to the newbies of the parties - Tony,
aka Bink from Miami, Jim from Sarasota/Bradenton area, Kirkie
from Tampa area and of course my new husband Joe. Joe had never
been into diapers until I suggested them while we were getting
to know one another. Now he loves them and we both could not be
happier. Bamm Bamm. Jeffrey Thomas, 3004 W Binnicker Ave, Tampa,

(Dear Bamm Bamm and Joe, I wish you many happy years together,
and it is good to know that you will both be in diapers. Love,
Tommy).
On Sunday, January 4th, an ABDL party was held in my home
just north of Boston. 27 attended. Here is the breakdown of
who came: 25 were male, 2 were female. 7 identified themselves
as DL, 15 as AB, 1 sissy baby. 4 said that they take on some
"parenting" role, but were mostly there to support their
partner/spouse. 6 identified as straight and/or married. Others
identified as gay, nonsexual, bi, or undecided. 12 were newbies
to Boston ABDL parties, or had never been to any party, or met
another ABDL in person ever!
The party began at 1 PM, with many people showing up right on
the dot. With so many newbies, there was plenty to talk about!
It was great to meet so many new people, welcome so many into
the diaper community, and make new friends! Delicious food was
provided by my co-host, Steven, who was featured in DPF issue
#2! His "boy" (partner) also attended. Steven made
Rigatoni Amatriciana (from scratch!) and pesto (his mother's recipe
from Italy!).
Of course, this was complemented by veggies and other snacks,
as well as beverages of all kinds. After lunch I moderated a
circle, to make sure everyone in the room had met everyone, and
had some idea of their interests, location, etc. We covered the
whole spectrum of diapered interests. People attended not only
from Boston, but also Western Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. We covered almost
all of New England (sorry, Rhode Island). From my house, 13 of
the 27 continued on to Build-A-Bear in the mall, where we proceeded
to make and stuff teddy bears. This was a GREAT activity for
our little cottontails! The store managers even got to join in
the vote as to who was the "honorary Baby New Year",
which ended in a tie, both of them getting an extra teddy bear
pillow. Both stripped down to their dipees for photos. If the
store manager had thought she'd seen everything before, she found
out otherwise! About 10 came back afterwards for some chill time
in diapers. About an hour later the final 10 (mostly the out-of-towners
delaying the long ride home!) went to a restaurant nearby. It
was great that so many were able to attend. Please watch this
space for our next BostonBabies party, which is tentatively slated
to occur in Manchester, NH, hosted by Marky and his "mommy".
