Tomorrow starts the long commute to one of the best Leather events that you will find in the US. The combination of International LeatherSIR/Leatherboy/International Community Bootblack and Dore Alley.

It’s a big travel day for the contestants taking part in this fun contest – everyone descending on San Francisco, the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel – once again, kinked up; and the frolicking in SoMA.

Other than Sir Alan and Pup Nitro whose job this year was to promote kink and Leather and judge the various contests – Master Chuck and i have been honoured to be part of that journey – with Sir and me having judged both the Eastern and Western Canada competitions; and me being invited to judge Michigan LeatherSIR/Leatherboy leading boy jim to win Great Lakes Leatherboy.

So good luck to:

• Boss Rocco – Eastern Canada LeatherSIR 2012
• Sir Marc – Western Canada LeatherSIR 2012
• Sir Josh – Great Lakes LeatherSIR 2012
• boy alex – Eastern Canada Leatherboy 2012
• boy daniel – Western Canada Leatherboy 2012
• boy jim – Great Lakes Leatherboy 2012

And a special shout out to Gabriel – Great Lakes Bootblack 2012. If I recall correctly my boots were among the first he ever licked when we first met in Kentucky several years ago.

To those of you, whom I have not yet met – good luck to all of you. To each of you I dedicate this video from the latest Pet Shop Boys single, “Winner”. This really is a moment you will remember for the rest of your lives.

Most importantly – have fun!

I will see all of you starting Friday when I arrive in San Francisco.

To Sir Alan and pup nitro – it has been awesome to briefly travel with You to the frigid temperatures of Calgary, and seeing You briefly as i spent time in Atlanta for work. Thank You all for all You have done – Your camaraderie, and promotion of hot Leathersex and kink. i cannot think of another couple who could have done a better job of representing us all, and what we stand for. Thank You for Your inspiration!
