Atons and Black Guard Join Forces for “Hellion”

(Leather Life column published in Lavender Magazine, Issue #168, November 2, 2001)

On Sunday, October 14 at the Saloon Bar, Minneapolis leather clubs the Black Guard and the Atons teamed up to present “Hellion,” their first joint event in recent memory. A fundraiser for New York AIDS charities, it featured a special guest appearance by porn star Clay Maverick. Saloon manager Walter even commissioned a fabulously decorated cake (from Wuollet’s, no less) to celebrate the occasion.
