The suitcases are all unpacked, the leather hanging up and I finally had some time to reflect on all my wild adventures to IMLBB 26! Toto and I had such a great time meeting so many new people and supporting leathermen competitors from all over the world! As I look back out the window of my workshop I now know I'm not so alone and there are new friends all over the world. I hope to get out there and visit them all someday!
I also enjoyed being able to assist competitors and friends with supplies and necessities from the basket! As a way of supporting my friends and people who come from far and wide who might not have as many friends from home in attendance. It might become a new IMLBB trend I should start taking votes on what items would be handy to keep on hand for future contestants and attendees. For my leather friends new and old as long as Im in attendance the basket is always here if you need as small as it might be and I hope our paths cross again soon!
