The Bootblack Lounge

Some of the best bootblacks across the nation will be providing leathercare in the Bootblack Lounge. Stop by to visit in the upper level Saguaro room. We're usually easily tracked by noise level.

Friday Day Noon – 6:00pm
Friday Night 9:00 pm – 2:00 am. Bootblacking, Adult Birthday Games and Chocolate Cake!
Saturday Day 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Saturday Night 9:30 pm – Midnight
Sunday Day Noon – 3:00 pm (pending bootblack availability)

Sometimes, you'll still find a bootblack lurking or a hot scene happening during off hours, but we ask that you review the schedule for regular hours. Our bootblacks are regularly waiting-list only and signing up is critical.

Any bootblack is welcome to join in the fun. Can’t bring your full kit on the plane?....We’ll find someone to share. Just let boi Moe know in an email when you'll be available during the weekend.

Friday Night Birthday Party
This year the Bootblack Lounge will host an Adult Birthday Party on Friday night. Stop by for silly adult birthday games, dance music, bootblacking….and chocolate cake. For those of you experienced with our event, you know how hot the chocolate cake ritual is. The bootblacks will be working and we have people available to just help you meet and greet, make friends, cruise up some fun for the weekend. This is a playful way to start the weekend, grab those event hugs, and start flirting. Everyone is welcome in the Bootblack Lounge.

The Wishing Wall
The Wishing Wall is back by popular demand. How does the Wishing Wall work? Come in, fill out a provided Wishing Walls card, put up your wish or what you can offer others, and a way to contact you. Someone else may see that wish, and try to grant it for you. These wishes could be as simple as needing someone to sit with at lunch or as elaborate as wanting to arrange an dual whip scene. Perhaps you like to give foot rubs? Maybe you want to get some heavy impact play?

Post your wishes and come be that special person that grants a wish or helps make the weekend extra special for someone.

Lounge Etiquette:

  • Everyone is welcome in the lounge.
  • Please sign up with a Volunteer. The bootblacks work in order. The list can get long.
  • Keep it fun and keep it real…a warm body must be in the boots or garments to be cared for.
  • We won't be doing drop-off service but we're happy to shine your boots, clean and condition those chaps or pants or skirts, rub down a shirt, or give your gloves some special care.
  • Oh… tipping is encouraged. The bootblacks donate 50% of their tips to Southwest Leather Conference. The other 50% is often donated to charities of the bootblack's choice.
  • Most people tip about $8 - $10 for a standard pair of boots, skirts, pants or jackets in reasonable condition. Add a few more bucks for multiple buckles, tall boots, long coats, corsets, repair work and outstanding service. Any kind of mud, glop, sludge or goo is also be worth a little more.
  • Relax, enjoy, chat if you wish. Moan in ecstasy if the experience is erotic.
  • As sexy as the Lounge attendees and bootblacks are, please be sure touching is by consent. Ask first.
  • Bootblacking is also a spectator sport. Just please do not interrupt the bootblack and the person in the chair unless you have their ok.
