The October leather Social was great. I got to work on a few of my regulars, which is always nice. It was a very tactile evening. Everyone I worked on had oil tan boots that needed boot grease not polished, I also did a lot more conditioning work on people’s jeans and jackets. This meant I got to apply everything directly by hand.
This is always fun and means I get to give a bit of a massage through the leather.
NGL it got super busy quite quick which made me a bit nervous. I really don’t feel great being around a ton of people still. It really feels difficult to gauge how cautious we need to be right now. Things are much safer than last year, but we still have high covid numbers and long covid is still a risk. So when the bar started getting really packed, it was definitely felt like time to leave. Maybe It’s something I need to adjust back to, maybe It’s still not quite time yet to be around that many people.
