Eve Howard’s Spanking Blog

Dear Fellow Spanking Enthusiasts

There are no words to express my sadness this Spring, for my husband of 34 years, Tony Elka, passed away on April 5, 2020, after a four month battle with metastatic cancer. He was sixty years old.

As many of you know, along with Butch Simms, Tony was my partner in Shadow Lane. He was the head of our camera crew, our video editor, sound engineer, network manager, book keeper, and so much more. As a matter of fact, Shadow Lane’s very first spanking video, features Tony and me. All the musical intros to our videos were played and recorded by Tony.

Many of you spoke with him on the phone, not once but many times, for he was dedicated to making our customers happy. He would answer questions, provide referrals, sometimes just be a friend to a lonely guy or gal who had no one else to talk about the scene with. A number of our shyest female customers, even got their first real spanking from Tony at one of our parties. He was so great at making people feel comfortable with being into this.

Someday I will write a proper eulogy for the best of husbands and the best of men. Suffice to say, there will never be another like him and there never would have been a Shadow Lane if it wasn’t for him.

The Next Party

Even though Shadow Lane is no longer hosting the Labor Day party in Las Vegas, the party will still take place, in the same great location that everyone enjoys so much and has been so welcoming to us over the years, The Suncoast Casino and Resort Hotel.

The Labor Day Weekend party reboot will be hosted by Dr. Lectr, aka Joe Strykker, whom many of you know, if not from his own decade of generously hosting suite parties during Shadow Lane party weekends, from a number of our best recent videos, in which he has starred. He’s a terrific guy and the biggest booster of the scene I’ve ever met. Give him the same support, loyalty and love you’ve always given us and he come through for you.

Dear Eve Howard
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your untimely loss.
I thank you, Tony Elka, and all the Shadow Lane pioneers for satisfying my “interests” from your earliest days.
Shadow Lane was in the past and remains today a really quality creation.

Eve,

I am so sad and stunned.

I’ve known both of you since 1989 when I played hooky from work to listen to your cassette tapes. Met Tony briefly at one or more parties at the original lodge, but never really talked with until the 2015 Las Vegas party. We had so much fun talking 70’s drive-in horror and music that I forgot about the party. He was an intelligent, artistic man and we became instant buds.

In my mind, this all happened a year or two ago but it’s been nearly five. I always planned to do that annual party again but it never happened. My last words to him were in a January 2016 email: “Look forward to meeting up again and picking up where we left it!” Leaves a lump in my throat.

For many of us, there’s no “someday” anymore. I deeply regret not following up and just letting the years pass. I hope someday to learn better. But it was a joy knowing him and I believe you were lucky enough to marry a wonderful human being. I’m sure you miss him terribly.
