There will be a number of title holders from the region to meet and greet.
There’s also a contingent of the Crescent City Leatherman coming in from New Orleans

In the 70s the Goldenrod Lounge was a small gay bar in Mobile Alabama
It was in a 1780s? building they had to build the city county building around because it could not be torn down

This summer I let the beds in the front of my house go to garbage and grow wild.
I was traveling a lot and did not pull seasonal plants out nor reset with summer annuals
Nature rewarded me anyway with a gorgeous display of golden rod (Solidago) ageratum houstonianum
Plants gone wild.

I have no clue of the context for this, but I love it when things go aggressively passive.
It’s a proud southern tradition 😇

Big hugs too the wonderful men who sat in the chair and had their gear taken care of.
A special thank you goes to Dom Rigger Top /Mr Third Coast Leather 2025 for taking time after winning the title to let me be his rope bunny for a bit at the Ripcord

Back home from bootblacking with Andrew Charles McDiarmid for the Mr Third Coast Leather weekend in Houston.
Met fantastic people.
I am thankful for the generosity of the Misfits, the Ripcord, Drew, who allowed me to take part in a great event

Well, I do have to deliver in New Orleans tomorrow & the Crescent Coty Leathermen business meeting is in the evening. So I have to do SOMETHING to fill in the time in between, as well as filling me.

It was good to chat at Augusta.
We didn't manage to connect this time, but I always enjoy seeing you. I hope the weekend was good for you.

Event drop, my ass.
I still have to clear the aftermath from 5 days in Augusta.
Once laundry is washed/folded, leather gar is cleaned/hung up, & the travel gear is sorted/repacked for Houston/Mr 3rd Coast contest Saturday, THEN all the feels can come out to play.

Daddy Boot Bear has the car charged, loaded, & is ready to head to Augusta for Fist Fest weekend tomorrow.
It'll be great to see buddies and meet new ones.
There's a fair bit of my tribe will be there.
IGNORE any salacious tales that may get out there.
I'm an innocent bystander. I'm sticking to that

An Indian restaurant opened in a former Wendy’s location here.
The food is outstanding.
The menu is small, as it should be.
They do a few fusion dishes, such as chicken vindaloo pizza & such.
The cauliflower is a-maz-ing.
I hope it makes it since we don’t have many Indian options

1 more chore, washing the car, & I am ready for 5 days of mischief with my tribe
My group has 10 people spread across 6 rooms

It is great to give them the opportunity to step into the event knowing a few people

Headed to New Orleans to be social and see what mischief I can find. I’ll probably swing by the Phoenix, which increases the odds of misbehavior.
I hope your Saturday is good.

A pro tip
You DO NOT have to take off harnesses/vests/chaps/pants for cleaning/conditioning.
Taking care of those things can be a bit sensual, without crossing lines if you want.

There is no charge for bootblacking.
I want everyone to be able to have the experience.
A $20 tip to the charities is suggested but not required.
