Yesterday we got back from our trip to Chicago for ShibariCon and we had an absolute BLAST! In our opinion, this is the best rope bondage conference in the United States. The classes were numerous, quite varied and the instructors were fantastic. The two classes we taught (Chinese Rope Art and Mummification) went pretty well and seemed to be well received (we think! we will have to wait for the reviews …). Although we have attended several times now, we always manage to learn new things every time. We attended many classes, including a few on sadistic rope techniques (heh heh), CBT, needle play, and decorative knots. We also bought several hundred more feet of rope (including 4mm blue hemp and some braided flat hemp). We met several old friends, a few fellow webmasters and had an incredible time meeting new people in the play space at night. ShibariCon’s dungeon playspace is just a fantastic enivronment – very accessible to all, newbies and experienced players alike. Needless to say, over the 4 days of the event, we got very little sleep. Unfortunately, when you have that much fun, you can’t help but have a post event crash. But the experience is well worth it. And, we can start looking forward to next year! 🙂
