For tonight’s Fetish Bar Crawl and Gear Night, I finally figured out a way to get my Joe Rocket suit downtown: a rucksack

Earlier this summer I decided to commit to one of the craziest weeks of my life: GBUS and Inferno B back to back, both for the first time. I am incredibly glad I did it. I met so many fantastic people and found a sense of belonging and brotherhood at both that I have almost never felt before.

For tonight’s Kennel it feels appropriate to preview the outfit I specifically ordered for GearBlast, though the Red Wing work boots will have to do

Arriving just in time for GearBlast is something I’m still amazed one can just order online: a custom football set with my name and colors. Bonus points if you can guess where the number comes from

Marketplace find of the week: a yellow leather Joe Rocket race suit for cheap I’m absolutely thrilled. It fits me perfectly, and is of course in my secondary colors.

(Apologies for the different tone) Feeling a bit existential tonight. I’ve realized that I assembled this cage bed about 8 months ago, but that portion of it has yet to be used in any scenes. Kinda wondering what the point of the dungeon (and all the other gear) is if I rarely use/wear it.

And that’s a wrap on @chifetish-wknd.bsky.social 2026! This event hit me harder than expected because last year’s edition was the 1st big kink event I attended. I remember how terrified I was walking into Jackhammer for the opening party. Just a year later, I entered DS and knew >50% of the crowd.

Chicago is the biggest (and greatest) small town in the world, anecdote 1xx: Walking along Lincoln Avenue en route to the CFW contest in full gear. Just happen to run into the leader of one of our urbanist advocacy orgs, who is also a friend and compliments me on the gear.

After a lovely day riding coasters up in Gurnee, Sunday brings the Chicago Pride Parade, where I will be marching with the Chicago Coalition of Kink Clubs. For this very visible day I’m debuting my Fox MX kit, paired with the Moose boots and of course my neoprene hood.

Gotta say it’s wild that both 1) There are 3 major kink/BDSM cons within 5 days of each other in September and 2) It’s possible to be on the waitlist for all 3 simultaneously

Worlds collide: Today was the one-day conference at which everyone who works in my industry in the local region attends. One of the first phrases from the organizers was “welcome to family reunion, but for our chosen family” Taken aback because that is verbatim how kinksters describe our cons.

Only in Chicago* Scene-aware friends ask if “the leather weekend” is this upcoming weekend. I confirm it is, but then realize I have to clarify that it’s just *one of* the leather weekends in this city, and not the biggest one they’re probably thinking about. *Plus a small handful of other cities

They should invent a Critical Mass that isn’t on the same day as the Fetish Bar Crawl, Gear Night, Museum Gear Night, basically every monthly kink gathering.

Some more decor progress: 1) Finally made up my mind where to put the 2026 Spring COG banner (next to the guest side of the bed) 2) Found the old rubber pride flag I thought I had lost, and hung it behind the suspension rig. I actually really love the dirty, tattered look; gives it a gritty vibe.

Show us your pups and how they got their names. When I started making kink accounts I went by “publictransitgear” to reflect my original interest in workgear/hiviz. Was a mouthful, so as my pup identity emerged it shortened to Transit (which is also my biggest interest outside of the scene).

Some evening excitement: I found a great deal on an Alpinestars one-piece suit on eBay. It’s just barely one size too small and not in perfect shape, but for a basic play suit I am *thrilled*!

Since I’m in my current place for another year, the hesitation to put yet more holes in the walls is significantly diminished. This sign from COG is definitely a clearer marker of the dungeon than the Five Points MARTA sign 😂
