the BLU (Bear, Leather, Uniform) night at Sipps in Gulfport MS was a great evening
The Gulf Coast truly came together & celebrated ourselves
The raffles for charity were a success

Getting to demonstrate bootblacking with Nicole Dubois was a lifetime event

Off to the Highlands & Islands fest

Enjoying lunch over in Jersey City with part of my tribe before subjecting ourselves to the torments cooked up by Delta.
We’re going to have to overnight in ATL because the 2pm flight (EWR-ATL) kept getting delayed and pushed so that I will not make a 9:30 PM connection home from Atlanta
November 2, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Waiting for 10 to leather up and head to the Eagle
October 31, 2025 at 7:24 PM
And we’re off.
I can’t begin to tell y’all how much I look forward to connecting in ATL.
I mean, what can go wrong?

Stopped in for a little bit at the Gulf Coast Equality Fest. It was nice to see people out enjoying a pleasant fall day.
Lots of puppies. The two legged and four legged kind.
The highlight for me was meeting a pair of leather dykes of a certain age.

Ready for Halloween at the Eagle NYC
I figure full cow with logger boots & this mask equals something practical to take and wear
The mask is made by a NOLA local artisan out of leather

The weather looks perfect to gear up.
Daddy Boot Bear will be bootblacking during the CCL social Friday night.

It’s free, charity donations encouraged

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.

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
October 13, 2025 at 3:31 AM
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.
October 6, 2025 at 8:43 PM
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
September 30, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Haircut/beard trim done.
Getting ready to head to Augusta tomorrow
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
3 are new to Fist Fest
It is great to give them the opportunity to step into the event knowing a few people
September 30, 2025 at 8:21 PM
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.
September 26, 2025 at 6:06 PM
Go with what you feel is appropriate for the charities CCL is supporting.

2025 CCL charities:
Pridefest NOLA
Women with a Vision
Big Easy Animal Rescue
Leather Archives & Museum
September 26, 2025 at 6:06 PM
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.
September 26, 2025 at 6:06 PM
FREE BOOTBLACKING tonight
Round up your gear, Daddy Boot Bear/Mr Fireside Daddy will be bootblacking tonight at the Phoenix NOLA.
Sit & let me help you get your leather cleaned up so you can get dirty.
It's the Crescent City Leathermen's monthly seltzer social.
See y'all there.
