Hi guys.
The Amsterdam BLUF Hosts & Board wish you all a very much better 2021!
The year 2020 didn't bring what most of us expected from it.
Almost al of our planned BLUF Socials and other events like the Amsterdam Leather Weekend had to be cancelled because of the Covid19 pandemic.
For 2021 it seems to get a bit better, but not very soon. At this moment we still have to maintain lockdown situation, After January its maybe getting better when Covid19 vaccins are given. When it is possible and sane to organize events, we will take action to do so for BLUF Amsterdam.
Till further notice we don't plan and announce yet any BLUF event to prevent expectations and promises we can't keep. And also to prevent more annoying cancelling messages.
We are looking very much forward to give you more joyful announcements about events that will go on. So wait a little and meanwhile keep up the good spirit ( we hope you still have some left.. ;-)
Hosts and Board BLUF Amsterdam.
De gastheren en bestuur van BLUF Amsterdam wenst jullie allen een mooi en nog beter 2021!
Het afgelopen jaar bracht ons niet echt wat veel van ons ervan verwachtten. Bijna alle BLUF Socials en andere events zoals het Amsterdam Leather Pride Weekend vielen in het water en moesten gecanceld worden vanwege de Corona pandemie
Het ziet er langzaamaan naar uit dat 2021 een wat beter jaar gaat worden. Maar op dit moment zitten we nog steeds in de huidige tweede lockdown periode die ook stringenter is dan de vorige in maart-april. In januari wordt gestart met het vaccineren tegen Covid19 en hopelijk wordt het dan snel wat beter met de mogelijkheden rond bezoeken van horeca gelegenheden waarvan wij toch voor een deel afhankelijk van zijn bij het organiseren van events.
Tot nader order willen we echter nog geen definitieve plannen gaan maken voor nieuwe events in 2021. We willen jullie niet iedere keer moeten teleurstellen met het cancellen van BLUF Socials en andere BLUF events, dat is voor niemand leuk. Plannen blijft daarom lastig onder deze pandemie omstandigheden. Zodra het weer goed en verantwoord mogelijk is om een BLUF event te organiseren zullen we daar snel actie op ondernemen.
We zien er als bestuur en gastheren enorm naar uit jullie weer te ontmoeten en om leuker nieuws te brengen over events die wel doorgaan. Daar moeten we voorlopig nog even op wachten. Hou ondertussen vol, probeer elkaar digitaal of telefonisch te steunen en houd de moed er nog even in.

Paul was a BLUF member (1373) for years and he regularly visited the BLUF Amsterdam Meetings & Socials. He wore his leather uniform with pride and pleasure. Last Friday we were informed by a good friend of him that Paul died unexpectedly and at relatively young age. With regret we have to announce his passing. We wish his family, friends and others strength and courage. Board & Hosts BLUF Amsterdam
Paul Lodder, BLUF member 1373 en lid van BLUF Amsterdam branch, was jarenlang BLUF lid en droeg zijn uniformleer met zichtbaar plezier. Hij bezocht regelmatig de BLUF Meetings & Socials in Amsterdam. Afgelopen vrijdag bereikte ons het bericht van zijn onverwacht overlijden. Het spijt ons zeer dat hij op relatief jonge leeftijd overleden is. We wensen zijn familie en vrienden veel sterkte bij het afscheid en de tijd daarna. Bestuur & Hosts BLUF Amsterdam
Are you a professional musician? Would you like to perform in your fetish gear to a large audience whilst also supporting other gay men in the process? Then we’d like to hear from you!
CLASSIC MEETS FETISH is a classical music fetish event that takes place every year at Folsom Europe in Berlin. Just like our average audience of about 350 guests, our musicians come from all over the world in every shape, size, and fetish. The proceeds are donated to gay charitable organisations.
CLASSIC MEETS FETISH Berlin won the X Award for the Best Gay Fetish Event 2017 and was dedicated an article in both the online and print versions of the New York Times on 29 October 2019, the same year that we were visited by a team from RBB local television. Nonetheless, we understand that some of our musicians prefer to remain as anonymous as possible and do what we can to protect their privacy.
As we are planning a particularly special event this year, we’re also looking for some new faces and instruments to join our core team of musicians in our 90-minute classical music concert held at the Zwölf-Apostel church in Berlin-Schöneberg, only a
…BLUF's website isn't just for our members. You'll find plenty of information available to non-members too, including our listings of leather and fetish vendors, leather venues, and local leather clubs, around the world.
The BLUF events calendar features events worldwide, organised by a wide range of clubs and other groups, and as well as BLUF topics, our blog often includes posts of general interest to the leather community.
Members of BLUF also have access to our online magazine, which includes reports from BLUF events, exclusive photo galleries, and even short stories written by other members. The member forum provides places to share tips or ask for help on a range of topics, incuding For Sale and Wanted sections, travel advice and more.
On your BLUF profile, you can even let people know if you have a guest room, or can show them round your city, and our sophisticated search tools can help you find a bed in a city, or even someone who's into the same things as you, with a playroom, who rides a bike and speaks German.
We're committed to keeping BLUF membership free, with all members getting all the functions of the site. BLUF is funded by donations and sales of BLUF merchandise. Members who donate to BLUF qualify for the BLUF card, which gives discounts at a range of vendors, including Boxer, Clone Zone, Fetish Freak, Mister B and Regulation.
