Sharon
Date: 10/11/2006
Sharon was another character we met at the show. She's one of the Tom of Finland foundation members, and she was doing "artist relief" for the show: sitting in at booths so artists could take a bathroom or cigarette break. She was cheerful and helpful the whole weekend.
Redshorts Man
Date: 10/11/2006
This guy was another one of the artists almost directly across from our booth. He was taking a picture of Gremlin's mohawk when I took this picture of him.
Tai Lin and Leatherman
Date: 10/11/2006
Tai Lin, right, the artist at the booth next to us, hanging out with one of the leathermen at the fair. Tai's work is pastel drawings of men, both singles and couples, and he's really good.

Cocksock
Date: 10/11/2006
This guy was one of the artists' assistants. On Saturday, he was wearing a sheer, flesh-colored brief under the chaps instead of the chainmail thing, but I didn't get a picture of that fashion statement.

Date: 10/11/2006
He got in several good squeezes.
Cock Out
Date: 10/11/2006
Just to be very clear that even though the kilt wasn't plaid, Axel was wearing it "traditional-style."
Cock Out 2
Date: 10/11/2006
I wasn't the only one documenting this moment, as artist Axel received a "hand" in showing what he was wearing under his kilt.
Peter Berlin
Date: 10/11/2006
70's porn star Peter Berlin, who was selling DVD's and photo prints at the show, was one of the more interesting characters there. His booth was kitty-corner across from ours, and he came over and talked with us several times. He had interesting things to say about American politics, and about fame, and attaining it!
Gremlin and Peter
Date: 10/11/2006
Gremlin asked Peter if he could get a picture with him. Peter said yes and stood for the picture quite willingly, but grumbled and moaned about how he hates posing for pictures. He didn't want to see it afterward, either.
Gremlin and Peter 2
Date: 10/11/2006
Another shot of Gremlin and Peter, with both of them making kind of funny faces!
