The TIES BDSM Event Calendar is now on-line. Listings and links for all of the BDSM events we know of in the upper Midwest, in one handy spot. Other sites are encouraged to link to it, and anyone with an event they'd like to see listed there are encouraged to send details to the TIES mailbox.
The BDSM Events Page has two informative sections - they list Leather/BDSM events and they have a listing of over 1000 BDSM, Leather and Fetish Organizations and munches, worldwide.
The soc.subculture.bondage-bdsm FAQ is an excellent resource for the newbie-to-middle skill range. Hours of informative reading. We also recommend the newsgroup soc.subculture.bondage-bdsm, if you're familiar with usenet.
At Submission.net's site you will find listings for groups, munches, etc. by location, worldwide.
At subNATION there is a large collection of interesting articles. Perhaps a bit sub-oriented, but many are of interest to all.
Soul's Haven is another large BDSM-oriented site with lots of information. There's something for everyone here, including a BDSM Checklist that they claim is the best on the net. Personally, I can't argue with that.
Submission is a wonderfully diverse page. It supports #submission on EFNet, but has lots of non-IRC resources available as well.
Loads of information and links - plan to spend a lot of time here.
