ABOUT THE BACKDROP CLUB:
35 years ago a club called BackDrop started in the Bay Area. It was to be the "props and scenery behind everybody's fantasies," a social and educational resource for people who had fetish and fantasy interests but didn't know where, with whom or how to play. Even after nearly four decades, BackDrop is alive and well and thriving in a convenient clubhouse near San Francisco under the direction of its founder, Robin Roberts. The club offers its members and extensive library of books, magazines, and videos, ranging from studies in Anthropology to Psychology to the most esoteric erotica; it publishes a monthly newsletter ("Party-Lines") and a quarterly magazine ("Common Bonds"); it offers a wide range of events, including Leather and Lace fashion shows, various forums and demonstrations, slave auctions, parties and special interest groups. The club has also been responsible for quite a few spin-offs. Some were special interest groups that grew into organizations of their own. A few such groups are still around today, and new groups, inspired by their success, form regularly. All have contributed to the current wealth of fetish and fantasy opportunities in Northern California.
