Hi Colonel,

Yes we all changed a little bit...but not too much. It's so long since I was in Melbourne. I mean I was just 20 back then and now turn 25 soon... ;)

I am living in the UK at the moment in Newcastle upon Tyne. Am still studying but will be finished with my Masters soon.

It is great to receive your newsletters and enjoy writing emails with you every now and then. I love to see what fantastic events you set up and I enjoy seeing pictures of how it looks like at the moment.
But it's also a little bit sad cause I see what I am missing out on. It is quite boring here in terms of going out. Newcastle is a student city and there are mostly student clubs and bars.You do not have any insider information where to find a good place to go to here by any chance? ;)

I think ABODEis a wonderful place with great atmosphere and it looks like your doing a fantastic job to keep it like that. I am sure at one point I will stand at the front door again.

Neo Sanctum ‘Ritual’ Masquerade Party sounds like fun.

Would be great to hear from again soon.

I went to Confessional & SINthetic on the weekend, and it was my first time at ABODE (being relatively new to the scene).
I just wanted to say it was an amazing experience. I had a fantastic time,although I must admit most of my time was spent sitting back in awe of all the amazing outfits!

I loved the atmosphere & will definitely be back soon. Thanks again,

Hello Colonel, and thank you for the opportunity of such an enjoyable evening on Saturday with Confessional's 4th birthday and then following with SINthetic.

We had a marvellous time... and quite a few photos taken of us by the photographer downstairs. I would like to find out where/ how I might be able to view some of those pictures, if that is a possibility.

Best regards,

Gabrielle

Colonel,
Thankyou - I had a lovely night (Sat 30 May @ Confessional/SINthetic).
Anneke and I were happy to be there regardless - dressing up would have been fun but we had a great time anyway.

My friends Ben, Anneke, Sam and Kim were all first timers to the club and they really enjoyed themselves.
Sam in particular thinks he has found a new home away from home :)

We had some photos taken together too and were wondering if and how we might be able to get some copies?

I would love to come back again soon and will let you know when I will be in next.

We go to many of the fetish events here in Sydney.

After hearing so many interesting stories about the Melbourne scene, we decided to pack a bag full of goodies and a case full of our most interesting attire to come down for a two weekend (22 - 31 May) party experience.

Confessional/SINthetic (Sat 30 May) would have to be the best fetish event we have been to in many years. Thank goodness it was on the last weekend of our Melbourne trip.
What a way to remember Melbourne!!

Now we definitely know the difference between an event held in any club and a dedicated Fetish Club.
Your club (ABODE) is definitely one of a kind.

It was great to see so many interesting people from all over the country and such sophisticated fashion all in one place.
The unique decor, fashion show and performances completed our overall experience.

Please thank The Colonel and all the crew for the humble hospitality.

When are you coming to Sydney?
We can surely do with a club so well run as ABODE!

We'll be back soon and next time with many of our friends.

Thank you!!
