So what's been going on?
In August I had the honor of coordinating the Bootblacks at Chesapeake Leather and Pride, at the Baltimore Playhouse. Darn it was hot. But we had a good time.
Then a week later, I served on the Bootblack team at the Master/slave Conference, in Rockville Maryland. Yay for air conditioning!
Here I am serving as a footrest for a shiny pair of boots. Oh this was fun:
Nice tread marks on my knees here, from another customer:
And after:
I've been thinking a lot about this blog, and why I don't keep it up more, since I do love to write.
I think because I do a lot more things with my life than bootblacking.
This blog is titled "A Bootblack's Journey" and I think I need to incorporate more steps in my journey than just the ones with boots on.
So...as they say, "to be continued."
