From SF Weekly:"On the evening of Sept. 8, 2007, a woman was bound by her hands and feet and hanging from the ceiling. So far, so good. As a devotee of San Francisco's BDSM scene, she was attending the Power Exchange sex club, then located on Otis Street; her male companion had strung her up with her consent. Then, unexpectedly, the ceiling bolt to which she was attached broke loose and she crashed to the floor face-first, shattering her jaw." The Power Exchange, run by eccentric former mayoral candidate Mike Powers, has been in the news a lot lately. After more than a decade operating quietly on Otis, the club was hooted down by neighbors when it attempted to relocate to Gough, and more recently opened up shop in the Tenderloin only to be shut down for fire-code violations on Sept. 11. The club's troubles have caused an outcry from public-sex enthusiasts. According to her lawyer, she's seeking a half million in damages.

Jesus the poor woman. What a less than perfect end to an otherwise perfect evening and the resulting publicity will go down like a veritable treat at their respective golf and bridge clubs. Yes a real conversation piece that will be. Brodesword1
