Yeah its been a while since my last post, its been rather hectic around here at times…so lets begin. Fetishcon, in a nutshell was a blast, it was great seeing everyone again with a couple of notable absences, Jon and Lorelei, they were missed for sure by many, hopefully next year they will be able to attend. I got in 5 shoots during the convention and probably could have gotten in 1 more, I had that one booked but things kept popping up blocking it until there was a conflict in my schedule. Thursday  I arrived at the hotel mid afternoon, some 14 hours since I left home for the airport, upon checkin (which went far smoother this year) I dumped my junk in my room and headed out for the local CVS for some supplies, mix and M&Ms. I ran into Tater Salid on way my back and we headed for the liquour store for stuff to go with the aformentioned mix and something to eat, that $6 sandwich on the plane just wasn’t doing it for me. We hit the Quisno’s around the corner from the hotel. The it was back to the hotel to get ready for the meet n greet. After a very short cat nap I got ready for the party. In the bar I found JBRoper and several of his groupies as well as Moe from Amature Bound.com and a bevy of models I had worked with in the past, Isobel Wren, Vivian I Pierce, and many others. Around 7pm I wandered up the steps to the meet n greet room. I was introducted to several great looking models (all seeking work of course) but declined until I could locate models I had said I would work with and a couple I was hoping would be there to try to book a shoot with. I found Chrissy Daniels first, she was one I was hopeing would be there and wanted to shoot with, she was hanging out with Samantha Grace who had asked for a shoot long before the convention and I had to decline at the time. I was introducded to a model ‘Tabatha’ and again, I had to still find my prebooked models so again I did decline, that one hurt damnit, I wanted to shoot with her. RB from Texas Tied introduced me to Lynn Winter and we did eventually book a shoot. then it was the normal fracus of models and producers mixed with fans and the like. The organizers really need to bring back the color coded name tags to tell who is who (producer, model, fan, etc) so that you know who you are talking to. Christina Carter came over to sit beside me for a bit and was put out I think that I was scared to ask her to work for me, I would have worked with her, but again I was trying to locate one more prebooked model at this point and had to decline yet again, Christina looked awsome and really stood out, she was wearing sneakers, jeans and t-shirt, she looked fantastic in causual clothing, usually its PVC and massive heels, next year I have to work with her damnit. Towards the end of the meet n greet, the play sessions began until the hotel staff asked us to leave (it was 1215am and the meet n greet was supposed to clear out at 1130- so I can’t blame them) To the bar! they were open until 2or 230 I think, I went to bed, I was tired I was up for 22 hours and it was a long flight.
Friday, I did the breakfast buffet for the first time at the hotel, it wasn’t bad, a little pricey, but not bad food so its was ok. I went outside to enjoy the early morning air… well screw that It was hot out already so back inside in the A/C. I hung around the loby area near the bar seeing friends who wandered by and talked with them for a bit. Around noon went up to the venders to do the walk around bit, pretty much the same stuff again this year, I didn’t buy a damn thing, I did do a lot of looking for stuff, just couldn’t find or they were out of that size and/or color :/ Around 1245 I headed up to the room to get ready for my shoot with Chrissy Daniels, I couldn’t find my model release forms, appearently when my checked bag was searched the release forms were never put back in, my ropes were there and ballgags, but the envelope containing my releases wasn’t! So naturally I paniced 
I went down to the hotel’s business center and used their computer (it said 15 minutes for $5 or something like that) so I hopped online and it let me have access, so once I figured out the blind URL online where I keep my model release forms I was alset, except i needed to print them, they was going to cost a $5 user fee plus so much a copy, since that was on the honour systems, I stole them like everyone else 
I made 6 copies so I didn’t feel so bad and made a made dash outta there while trying to look cool damnit. I am such a rebel. Anyhow it was 5 after 1pm and I was late, so I was heading up to my room and ran in to Dave (Chrissy’s Boyfriend/flunky) dragging her shit down the hallway back from my room, and we headed back as I explained my tardiness (maybe Chrissy would give me a spanking….no such luck) And Dave said Chrissy last shoot went long, I said N/P I didn’t have anything booked after her so it was cool. Chrissy arrived around 130pm fresh and ready to roll, and for 2 hours that’s what we did, rock n roll. Last year every freakin set of photos was taken on the bed, this year I was going to be damned if I was going to shoot on that bed again, so this year it was all table bondage, all damn, nothing but table For the first set I had her wear a buiness type outfit with 5″ pumps tied bent over the table that made her legs look fantastic the next set I had her change into a dark green minidress and those same heels she said were hurting her feet cause she was standing in them so long, I hogtied her ontop of the table to rest her feet 
Oh yeah, she changed her hair color, she is no longer a redhead, her hair is not a medium brown color, She is still a brat though, gotta love that. I went down and hung out in the bar/lounge area to see who was about and try to find something to eat, I ran into RB (texas tied) and we had a couple of burgers and some pop between shoots and shot the shit for an hour or so. Pandora came up behind and molested me a bit (woohoo!) so naturally I had to shoot her, so we set a time for around 9ish and she was off with her hubby, Indy. While sitting there, I was introduced to the folks at MyWifeBound.com and was supposed to be hooked up with a model (who for whatever reason, I can never remeber her name) I still had not found the last model I prebooked at this point. So I said sure, but they couldn’t seem to find her, figured she was off shooting or something. Anyhow, Moe found me and said she was here, I said I really wanted to pin a time down for her shoot, he said he’d pass it along. After my shoot with Pandora, I came down stairs from the shoot (yeah she is that hot….well, ok I wanted a smoke before the shoot, but it didn’t help much) I finally ran into Erika Kole my missing booking and she wasn’t sure of her schedule but would fit me in for a couple of hours somewhere. She was looking for someone to goto the off site party with, I wouldn’t have minded going but i heard the A/C there wasn’t working well (they were supposed to have extra A/C there over and above their normal A/C) so I regrettably declined her offer (I realy need to see a shrink) Tater Salid, Andre and Bondquest were inside hanging around the bar so I joined them and as the evening wore on JB showed up around 1130pm after finishing his last shoot for the night. We closed the bar and I left for bed around 430am (they let us sit there as long as we liked)
Saturday, the buffet again for breakfast and hangout time in the lounge area, I had nothing booked for the day at this point and ran back into Lynn and booked her for an hour around 1Pm, we ended up shooting for 2 hours and got in 3 good sets and 30 minutes of video! Again, all table ties of some sort and ballgaged for the first two sets. After that shoot I went down to the bar area to get a burger and a pop, after 45minutes of waiting I gave up and went upstairs to the vender area and ran into JB, Ikaras, and Bondquest, JB was looking for a flunky to help with a shoot if he could find her, I said sure. I then ran into Steve Villa and we ended up sitting down for supper and some shop talk, Steve is a great person, he is willing to help out anyone it seems, and gave me some good pointers in getting video out there to sell and how to do it well. He paid for dinner (even though I wanted to pay for mine and would have gladly paid for his for the valuable info her gave me) and we headed upstairs to the fan shoot where I ended up running into JB again and his model (he just rounded up)Â Man I wanted to shoot with her, I didn’t know she was a model, she was wandering around with some guy I had seen at the conventions in the past. So we go upto JB’s room and I was tlkaing with the guy while JB and Summer were figuring out what they were going to shoot and I had to drop back to my room to get some business cards. I got back and began helping JB take some prep photos while he did some rigging. Jb was the smart one of the bunch this year, he brought a fan with him, a litteral fan that blow air around, The A/C in the rooms sucked pretty much all over the hotel. *note to self, bring a GD fan next year* his shoot fell a little short, not sure what it was all about he had a 3 hour booked and we had in 4 short sets when her escort said we were done, I guess he figured we had our money’s worth or something or didn’t relize just how much time had past, JB sort of looked at me and me him and shrugged it off. JB did the paperwork thingie and her escort complimented us both on the professionalism of the shoot and wish they all were like ours… I guess… to me it was a normal shoot, nothing out of the ordinary except for a major power bump due to lightning outside (the whole hotel went down for a second then back up). Anyhow I told her escort if they ever plan a trip to Canada, give me some notice and I’ll book her for 4-8 hours of work. She is from NYC so I may end up there to work with her. After that shoot, I freshened up and headed up to Pandora’s and Indy’s party (usually its Jon and Lorelei’s party) the usually asortment of suspects were there with several new faces (and nakkid butts) There was this one really hot Cubian girl there, (again with the non-colored name tags) I would have loved to have model for me, she was tall, very tall, and cute to boot (maybe next year I’ll ask) Also there was Wednesday Harrington, she hit me up for a shoot saturday I think it was outside while I was having a smoke, and her partner. Anhow around 2 it was time to head to bed for me, and off I went, I ended up taking the stairs as after 20 minutes I couldn’t get an elevator.
Sunday, the buffet yet again, this time with RB and we shot the shit and talked shop, he had an early morning shoot at 11am so I hung out in the lounge for a bit and ran into Erika again and set the time for our shoot lateron that day and we talked a little about content as I was vearing off my normal pathway in preperation for more video infused work. She was cool with it and brought the toys with her…you will have to join in a couple of months if you want to see the stills, the video will be going straight to clips for sale with only a preview to bondagenymphs.com due to server space issues which I hope to get corrected over the winter months. I had Erika booked for a 2 hour shoot and we ended up going for 3, I was even thinking 4, but she was getting wipped I think. She put out a great performance for all the stills and the videos stuff. After the shoot I had a I took my A/C apart int he room to fix it, it was not hardly working at all, I removed the filter (plugged) and put the grate back on the wall without it and the room began to cool….finally, that nite it did reach into the upper 60’s!. Anyhow after A shower I went downstair for supper before the fetish ball and ate alone, I guess everyone was out shooting or whatever, I was starved and wanted to eat now, I was seated and had a very quiet and relaxing meal, the service was great and the food good. After supper it was get changed for the ball and off I went, almost, I ran into some people and chatted with them for a while, then to my last shoot of the convention, it was with Vivian Ireene Pierce and we did a Star Trek theme for two sets with her Tribble she had as part of her costume. Lots of glamour shots and a couple of simple ties that sort of went along with that period of time on TV. The ball… I got there and the dude drilling out his sinuses was onstage so I went outside for a smoke and ran into the usual suspects and talked with them for a while and went back in. I found Indy and Pandora and sat with them for a bit, Kumi’s and Midora’s show was happenings and I sat and watch it while talking to Lady Cocoa about ecommerce in general until the show was over and the normal mayehm insued. Andre came in brandishing a cake, it was his brithday a couple days earlier and he and some of his family had taken him on a tour of the area and gave him a cake, so we helpped him eat it, some in very unique ways, the photos will probably on Pandora’s site I am sure, it was a tittylickin good time. I went back to my room for my camera and took a dozen of so photos of various rifraf and put my camera away and watched the show until 2am then off to bed.
Monday morning came again, time to packup and head to the airport for the long trip home, I didn’t get to see JB off, god knows where he was, never saw him at all on Sunday or monday before I left, hope he survived that bastard never stopped shooting the whole time, lol Once again, my thanks to Steve Villa for a ride to the airport. I did see Bondquest off this year, not sure who he ended up crashing with that night as the whole hotel was sold out to conventioners. I gave Tatersalid the little bit of rum and mix I had left I couldnt take with me on the plane (I did have some in my checked baggage ) and made my way home. It was a good trip I guess…
oh well its the great white north eh. And speaking of the great white north, its the 25th anniversary of Bob And Doug McKennzie’s landmark album (from 2nd city TV and SNL) you hose heads know what I am talking about.
