IML 2008
Treasure Island Media was out in force at this year's International Mr. Leather. Paul Morris sent his for-hire army of cocksuckers from San Francisco to Chicago to destroy the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Perhaps in the end we did not destroy the building (they let us smoke in the rooms...we gave them the benefit of the doubt) but we certainly defiled it right and good.
Working for Treasure Island Media is like being part of the cool kid clique in school. You know that group. The one that hangs out in stairwells smoking cigarettes, drinking whiskey and pissing on each other. That's us. You shouldn't hang out with us. We are trouble. And wet.
It is a good thing we were there as IML seemed pretty tame compared to our standards (see: Dante's Inferno). While there were plenty of hot leather daddies walking their leather puppies, there certainly wasn't enough large scale group sex in open spaces (although I did see several baby strollers). Luckily, Treasure Island Media had the sexy foresight to throw its own sex party, the first ever outside-of-San Francisco Cockpit. Thanks to the excellent men at the Jackhammer Bar and their dirty play space "The Hole," T.I.M. serviced the needs of many a late-night prowler.
The word spread throughout the weekend as men came to our booth in the Leather Mart to ask, "do you know anything about this underground sex party?" All we said was "yup." That's all that was needed. When it comes to men and hot sex, you don't need too much information or direction. Just plant the seed and it will grow. Those who really wanted it, found it.
By the way, there were plenty of men who really wanted it.
Overall, IML was a blast for us. We gave away a shit ton of porn, talked to our amazing sex-crazed fans from around the world and riled up some of the more "gentile" piggies in the crowd. It is an interesting thing being a part of this company. Even amongst thousands of men in collars, nipple clamps, bondage beds and ball gags, you still feel as if you are the outcast. I for one find pleasure in walking around in a Built to Fuck t-shirt and catching judgmental queers giving you a look that says "how do you live with yourself." The answer is, “quite well” (and rolling in cash!) I mean, we are evil for sure. Occasionally it is nice to be validated as such.

do you mean "genteel" instead of "gentile"?
Ah, thank you hand64bill. I did mean "genteel." Gentile gives that sentence an entirely different meaning...
