This is my "story" of how it all "went down".
Please note that names may have been changed to "protect the innocent". Let's call them... 'AnArkY' & 'Sally C.'...(LMAO)
I couldn't believe how quickly this all happened to come to be. It all started with messages to a couple of friends in T.O.; asking if they could join me in an upcoming event. It was time for Northbound Leather's annual Fetish/ Fashion show! Their responding messages came back that neither could join me, so we discussed "visiting while I was out there" possibilities.
DISCUSSING DETAILS
It so happened that one had to work a 12 hr shift that started at NOON! This meant no "visiting opportunity door" before the show; it would have to be when she's done work. The other happened to be involved with another sex show for the weekend, and said she would have to "squeeze me in" before she started... at NOON! (Yes, again... NOON!) Which meant our "visiting opportunity door", was open in the morning for brunch. Causing me to have to hang out in T.O. all day, before the evening event. So we decided that I would be part of her "staff", and join her for the day. Just like that...
This is where I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! I was now going to attend 2 "sex" shows this day. WOO HOO!!! I looked forward to this dual visit opportunity! And why not... after all her event was "The All About SEX Show"; and I was showing up in "fetish" wear for the evening event! (^^^)
THE DAY HAS COME AT LAST
I was running late as usual, so I took a cab to the bus. And I got there in time to wait for the bus about 10 minutes. Did you know... Greyhound now does ticket purchases via an 'insert your card & charge' machine (hahaha)? By the time the bus came, I was glad to be close to the front of the line up to get on it... it was chilly. I got on the bus, found a seat near the back, and settled in for the ride! I texted AnArkY & Sally C., to let them know we left the terminal. I then received a text from another friend, whom I was to meet up with for the evening event. Yup, things were now starting to feel like puzzle pieces falling into place!
INTERJECTION: This first "visit opportunity door", was with a friend I had lost contact with for some years. It wasn't until another found her on Facebook, and sent me her link! THANKZ for that Sally!!! So to visit for the first time in years was going to be sweet!
IN T.O.
Getting off the bus, I saw AnArkY coming up to me right away! After a BIG HUG, we headed to the washroom. Our day started with having breaky, and a nice little treat before heading to her place to prepare. THANKZ for that AnArkY!!! She has a nice little appartment, in which we only stayed for about an hour. I found her "living room" to consist of only a pole in the middle. Her living room/ office area was conveniently located in the dinning room space. Very handy to have if you instruct others in the art of "pole dancing".
We headed out to the first event via subway, and our "4 feet & 2 heart beats". Glad I got a day pass, we both got to travel on it - as family (LOVE YA SISTA!!!). When we walked into the Rogers Convention Center, it was BIG and intimidating to this 'location newbie'. I was glad I had a guide to steer me through the masses, as there was another event going on "across the hall" from ours... A Sewing Convention! What a contrast!!! Entering the "All About SEX Show" event was no less overwhelming at first. When we got to AnArkY's "booth", I discovered it was at the end of the same "booth" space as Elite Limo. Since the owner was a friend of hers, we got to throw our belongings in the limo during our time there. THANKZ for sharing Bruce, it was fun to meet you!!!
AT "THE ALL ABOUT SEX SHOW":
Once we got settled and hung out for a bit, I decided to take a walk around. I wanted to get pictures of as many vendors as possible, because as I have discovered in the past... One never really knows what would be considered as a vendor for this type of show, until they are there.
During this journey, I discovered a hilarious contest/ competition going on on stage. The (as I call it) 'Karma Sutra Timed Positions Count Competition'! One after the other, contestants would step up to use the blow up doll. This was no ordinary contest, and that was no ordinary blow up doll. The blow up doll was actually in a sitting with arms out position, for easier use. (LMAO) The contestants had to show how many positions they could think up while timed! I caught a few, before venturing off to continue my vendor pics journey.
As I finished the room I turned to the stage, and discovered a fashion show going on. So of course I got some pics of that too. Then I returned to AnArkY's "booth", and discovered her teaching others how to swing around the pole... more pic opportunities here! Yup after all that, I think we were due for some ice cream! It was overpriced, but sooo YUUUMMY!!!
It was 7 PMish, and I had a bit of time yet before I had to go. So when she had a "dead zone", we got to hide out in the limo for some peace & quiet... WICKED!!! THANKZ for that!!!
The time came to leave this "visit opportunity doorway", but I was not sad. Because not only did AnArkY know Sally, but she also happened to live close to her. So we arranged to visit with Sally together, after my evening event. Thankfully AnArkY walked me out, to the side of the building I needed to be on for catching my bus. Otherwise, I would have been lost in the building (hahaha). THANKZ for that AnArkY!!!
CHANGING OF THE VENUES
I had a bit of a hike to get to the bus stop, so I wasted no time. I think it only took me about 5 minutes to get there, when it would have normally been at least 3 minutes more. WHEW!!! Good thing too, when I got there it showed up within a couple minutes! I jumped on, and thankfully it was the only transportation I needed to take to get there. While on, I texted to catch up with the others whom I was to meet up with next. They were still "on board"... WOO HOO!!!
After I got off the bus, I was walking across a store parking lot when someone spoke to me out of their car window. CREEPY!!! He asked about my limping, if I was going to the show, and if I wanted a ride. SUPER CREEPY!!! Then he explained that he was going there also, and that he was just waiting for his mistress. STILL CREEPY!!! I replied that I didn't think so, and walked away into the store. When I came out he was still there, and as I spoke with him again his mistress showed up. They seemed to be genuine nice people (so I followed my gut instinct about them), and took them up on the ride offer. Turned out I was right, they were "safe" to get the ride from and I made it there without any problems. PLEASE NOTE: Normally I would NEVER do this, and I DON'T suggest it!!!
I found I had arrived too early, and was once again waiting in line... this time outside. Many around me thought I was freezing; but it wasn't too bad, as I was well prepared with layers! We probably stood out there for about a 1/2 hour before being let in, and there was some confusion of which doors to go in. I got sent to the wrong door of course, and had to return to the original door I was at. Oh well, at least I was there!!!
AT NORTHBOUND LEATHER'S "RAPTURE" SHOW:
The place was pretty empty at first, and I had some pic. opportunities with a few before it got busy. I made sure to hand out my business card to those interested in seeing their pics I was taking, and found I had to write out some more. While I did so, the place got busy "in the blink of an eye"! I found myself finding 'space pockets', as I "steered" through the crowd to get another beer. It was still too early for the fashion show, so I went to dance... and it was good. I stopped to reply to some texts, and had the misfortune of my phone running out of time on me. So I could no longer text AnArkY & Sally C. on my phone for later (BOOO!!!). I'll have to hope my other friends show up, and that I can use their phone when the time comes. (^^^)
When the fashion show started, it was 11 PMish. I got some pics, but they were quick moving models once again. Then just when I finally have a good place to stand... my camera DIED!!! I NEED a better camera for these shows, I tell ya (hahaha)!!! So that was the end of taking pics for this fashion show (again... BOOO!!!). As I stayed where I was to watch, the show lasted about another 1/2 hour - hour perhaps after this. It was a little "contravercial" with the guy getting nailed to a cross; but otherwise I'm not disappointed, and it was a GREAT show!!! LOVED the combinations of materials used for their fashions, as it was not ONLY leather! And although I personally would alter/ merge/ change some of the style aspects of their outfits, I LOVED most of their fashions!!!
Once the fashion show was over, I got another text from my friends showing up. I couldn't answer it, so I had to wait to find them in the crowd. Lucky for me, it wasn't long before they were right in front of me! WOO HOO!!! From here we hung out, I 'danced my face off', and time ran away on me like "Cinderella at the ball" once again. Next thing I knew I had missed texts from both AnArkY & Sally C., and it was already too late for me to catch my last bus to Sally C.'s place. Got another text stating she would be up until 3 AM for me. I found I had ran out of money for a cab, and the limo wasn't going to be showing up until then. So I knew I wouldn't be making it to visit with Sally C. this trip (soo sorry Sally), and I borrowed the phone of my friend 'Pelvis' (as I call him) to text her. I am still sad to not even have been able to say "see ya next time" in person.
By the time the limo showed up, I was definitely getting tired and glad for the ride home. Glad to have the opportunity & the space in the limo for me! The ride home was peaceful, and it was nice to catch up some more with my friends. THANKZ for that!!!
Yup, all in all the day was one BIG ADVENTURE with some great friends I miss when they're not around. I think I need to make T.O. trips more often than just once a year... "Where there's a will, there's a way", and I'll find it!
I'd like to thank everyone involved with the success of my safe travels, warm & comfy visits, and otherwise! Without you, it could have been a LOT worse! You know who you are!!!
Until next time darlingks...
Take care & Safe travels!!!
