Rubbing One Out in Vancouver - Rubbout 20

Under the category of...

a hot time, we def have to put Rubbout high on the list.  The Vancouver event has been going strong for 20 years now drawing rubber and gear aficionados from around the globe.  They cranked it up several notches for the 20th anniversary and the party was a must-have-good-time!

I arrived on Thursday night at the fab Vancouver airport, grabbed my bag and headed up to the Skytrain platform to snag a seat on a train headed to City Centre.  The fare was $7.50 and is decidedly the best way to get downtown.  After a brief stop to switch to the 6 Davies bus, I was off the bus practically at the door of the Pumpjack Pub, aka Rubber Central for the next few days, where I met up with Rubbout Producers Reid Dalgleish (Mr West Coast Rubber 2010) and Mitch Kenyon for some pre-madness cocktails and then off to bed, ready to dream of catsuited boys.

Friday morning I headed over to the host hotel, the Inn at False Creek, and met up with Fenn (Mr International Rubber 2010) for some breakfast and some shopping at event sponsor Priape.  The rumors of a 40% off rack were true and I snagged some goodies before the hordes arrived.  I also seriously lusted after some of the latest Priape designs like the metallic finish latex uniforms and super-hot football uniforms.  

Rubbout 20 - Pup Play Pics

Just put up the pics from the Pup Play Party in the Leatherati Galleries.  What a blast!  Pups everywhere and even some pup attitude.

 

Rubbout - Headed to Recon Dark Party

Okay, wrapped up the Shine party and headed to Pumpjack Pub for the Recon Dark Party.

Rubbout - Shine Party

The first main event of the Rubbout 20 weekend is just getting wound up. It's the shine party!

Do far I've seen 3 rubber dogs and a latex football player. Hot!

Package Pick Up

Is simply checking in supposed to be this much fun?

Priape Shopping

What better way to spend a Saturday than checking out the selection at Priape. And they have a huge selection of 40% off stuff! Just saying.

Bit of relaxing now and then off to Pumpjack to check in. Which is just another name for having beers.

Going Live from Rubbout 20!

Today is finally the day when Rubbout 20 slippery slides in to action.  I got in last night and enjoyed a fab pub tran experience from the airport to Pumpjack Pub then beers with producers Reid Dalgleish (Mr WCR 2010) and Mitch Kenyon, Rick Storer from the Leather Archives and Museum, and Scott from Rubberdawg.

It's going to be a grrrrrrreat weekend!
