October screwup

screwup: BDSM for trannies, genderqueers and their friends, presents...

Bootblacking with Bootdog!

Friday, October 12, 2007 from 7:00 to 9:30 PM
New College of California in San Francisco, Room 22 (2nd Floor), 766
Valencia Street (near 18th Street), San Francisco
Andrew “Bootdog" Johnson will be hosting a class on the craft of
bootblacking, taught in a studio format. We’ll start with a short
discussion period, covering various aspects of boot and leather care,
followed by hands-on experience, in which participants are given the
opportunity to develop their skills.
All experience levels are welcome to attend, and participants need not
intend to become full-fledged bootblacks; it is perfectly acceptable for a
participant to simply want to learn how to care for his or her own boots.
Sessions are led by Andrew "Bootdog" Johnson, Pacific West Mr. Bootblack
2004, who has been caring for his own boots for nearly fifteen years and
has bootblacked publicly for five years.
Bring along any bootblacking supplies you may already have (polish, rags,
brushes, etc. as well as boots to work on(Imagine!).

If you don’t have a complete bootblacking kit, that’s not a problem. I
have assembled several basic kits through a local wholesaler that I sell
for my cost, which is $25. The only thing you need to add is a spray
bottle for water and cotton rags.

Screwup is for trannies, genderqueers, and our friends. This event is open
to all genders and will be held in Room 22 at the New College of
California. Folks sometimes go out for coffee or food afterwards, so come
prepared...

$0-5 donation will be accepted to cover the cost of supplies and flyers.
No one turned away. The New College of California is wheelchair accessible
and has gender-neutral bathrooms!

Spread the word by downloading, printing, and distributing flyers.

interpreter, to get involved, make suggestions or with any other requests.
