You know how conventions are. Workshops, speeches. Sometimes you need to break away and act out. The guys all jammed into Hydrate in Chicago for a night of KINK.

You know how conventions are. Workshops, speeches. Sometimes you need to break away and act out. The guys all jammed into Hydrate in Chicago for a night of KINK.

Manhole at Hydrate welcomed, with open hairy arms, all of the leather masters, pupsters, rubber boys, and unviersal fetish freaks to KINK May 26, on the opening night of International Mr. Leather. After a long day of test-driving slings and bondage equipment, and trying on a wide a variety of fetish clothing, one might feel a little worked up. And what can you actually do about that in a hotel lobby?

The party was hosted by Leo Forte, with Skynmen performances, giveaways, and the all important go-gos. As Chicago is a civilized city, the party lasted till 4 a.m. Thanks to the persistent Matt Baume for staying up way past his bedtime to get these images.
