new school supplies

Getting ready for Max’s two-day Bondage Intensive. I think it is a little snazzy that the supply list for this is more pricey than the class itself.

The last of my rope will be delivered to me tomorrow at class. The pre-fab rope kits for class were not what I wanted. I wanted PINK but we couldn’t get that custom order concocted. So, I went with Statutory Grape, which as it turns out, matches my new boots. Anyway. The crew at Twisted Monk are really helping me out with my color whims, and I am very, very grateful.

Just purchased the last of my things from the list: four carabiners. Because it was close by, I stopped at Second Ascent in Ballard for these last bits. I went in with my little pages printed from Max’s list on the Web, but obviously I did not know much about what I was shopping for. And there were dozens to choose from hanging on the wall behind the counter. So the boys behind the counter were all helpful and making inquires to get me the correct carabiners for my adventures. “So, how are you going to use these?” the cute boy asked.

I took a moment to consider: how much do I disclose here? and then said, “Hang people.”

“Suspension bondage,” I finished up.

And he paused for a moment then said, “Oh. We get a lot of people in here shopping for that. But most of them don’t say that’s what they are doing.” And we proceeded to choose the gear I would need.

I promised to send them photos.
