The Mr. San Diego Eagle 2014 contest, which runs Feb. 20-23, will be bigger than ever. “It will be a 4-day event for the entire leather community,” says Robb Rodriguez the current Mr. San Diego Eagle.
The main contest activities will be moved from the San Diego Eagle bar to the nearby Sunset Temple auditorium. “We’re moving the venue of the contest to the Sunset Temple because we’re expecting a large crowd to attend. Already we’ve heard from people from as far away as Phoenix that they’re going to attend. And one of our judges is from Minnesota while another is from Georgia,” continued Rodriguez.
The seven judges for this year’s contest are an all-star group of titleholders. Head judge will be International Mr. Leather Andy Cross. Other judges are: American Leatherman Aaron Duke, Mr. International Deaf Leather boy Richard, Mr. San Diego Leather 2013 /Mr. San Diego Eagle 2012 Eli Correa, Ms. San Diego Leather 2013 Colt Everyday, Eagle LA Mr. Leather 2013 Bill Robertroy and Mr. Minneapolis Eagle 2013 Ryan Brown.
Another change in the Mr. San Diego Eagle 2014 schedule is that the traditional Friday Meet and Greet will feature a leather fashion show and auction. “We all know that the meet and greet can be deadly,” comments contest producer Russ Mortenson Boyd. “We want to make it more of an activity rather than a 10 minute in and out. Rob has arranged for a fashion show that will present leather/kink fashions for the upcoming year, with some pieces available for purchase (without the model). Already 10 stores have signed up to make leather apparel available for the show.”
The contest event will kick off on Thursday, Feb. 20, with an Eagle appreciation night. Hosted by Robb and Russ, both of whom are Mr. San Diego Eagles, the night will recognize those who have served the San Diego leather/kink community through the years by holding activities at the San Diego Eagle or are Mr. San Diego Eagle titleholders. The appreciation night will be held at the San Diego Eagle bar.
Friday, Feb. 21 will be the Meet and Greet/Leather Fashion Show and Auction. This will be a fundraiser for The Leather Foundation so a $10 cover will be charged. It will be held at the Sunset Temple and begins at 8 p.m.
Saturday, Feb, 22, will be the Mr. San Diego Eagle Contest at the Sunset Temple. Starting at 8 p.m. the emcee will be the ever popular Ms. Roxie Blue of San Diego. The contest will also be a fundraiser for The Leather Foundation with a $10 cover charge.
The final activity for this year’s contest will be a “Brunch with the Titleholders” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sunset Temple. The charge there is $10 featuring bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys. The brunch is not included but it will be quiet reasonable.
For those that wish, there will be weekend passes available for a total of $30 and there will be VIP tickets for $40. All tickets can be purchased at the San Diego Eagle or from Russ Mortenson Boyd and Robb Rodriquez. For those wishing to purchase their tickets with a credit card this can be accomplished either with Russ or Robb.
Volunteer opportunities are provided.
Come join in the historic Mr. San Diego Eagle 2014 contest.
