Thanksgiving Blog-a-thon.
I set this whole site up some time ago.. and it was being wasted.
With 4 days off from work I decided I want to get it all up and going. Just starting off with not context of where I have travelled these last few months, I decided to take the time and go back and blog it all.
But for the sake of being honest, I marked all my back created posts with “*back post from memory, date is an approximate*”. I think that is only fair. I did take great care to get the event dates right.. but not time stamps.. IE I blog about the evening and what went on in posts made around lunch time of the same day. Nope I did not have a time machine.. just *GOD MODE CHEAT*
There are still a few posts that are ‘filler’ that I need to go back and put more info.. but I am getting tired of typing!
Hopefully will not be doing any more backdating any time soon.
- Rigger Jay
Beware of over eager
Really have enjoyed flirting and chatting with *OtK*, but in typical RiggerJay fashion I over do sometimes.
She really has brought out the Dom side of me and there is so much I want to try and experince and she seems to be a match that way with me. but.. always a but..
Don’t want to smoother her, worried a bit that I have already done that.. Esp with having a lot of time off to my self.. Will have to correct that next time we meet up.

Contraption MK III.a
There was a very slim chance I was going to have company today, so I decided to set up the Contraption, It is nice since when all a part fits nicely under the couch.
I bought some threaded rod from home depot, as well as some pipe hanger camps (a O with a threaded bump). After some cutting and bending I now have 4 45 degree anchors for two of the corners. This locks things in nicely. it is not 100% perfect. But I can swing on it and it only moves a bit
Finally after trial and ERROR and ERROR.. I finally have an nice play toy for rope and such.

A new friend
Made a new friend off of ALT.com, but turned out *Snarky* was kind of an ‘old friend’. Some time ago I volunteered for a show here in Boston. *Snarky* was working for one of the vendors and we chatted some during the show.
Well I found her on ALT.com, funny the picture *Snarky* had in her profile was from the show where I had met her.
She has been in the scene for a very long time and it has been great chatting with her. We had gone on a few dates, but we really just click as friends. I was invited to a pvt play party saturday night and told her about it. She had been there before and said sure.
Things went late for her, and I lost track of time. Laundry day, actually specifically all my rope, it was all hanging to dry off of the contraption in living room when *Snarky* came over. snicker
We vegged for a bit as I packed up the rope, and then we went out for a very nice dinner.. By time we got back both of us were more in a veg mood and we ended up just talking and watching a movie until almost two in morning.
Glad I found her and definitely want to just hang out and be social with her more.

Peristance Pays off..
For some time I had been playing tag with a cute redhead from ALT.com I just had a good vibe from *OtK* and wanted to at least meet up and see how things went.
Finally today we met up for dinner.. and ya.. they went very well. I had learned something from my past meetings, if you don’t assert to some level you end up in friend zone in this community. So when we met up I decided to well assert
Paided off in spades, talking and teasing during dinner was great.. seem to have instant trust built up and we went back to my place and played with rope and for my first time, I use the strap and a flogger in a scene.
The next morning, I awoke to a very nice email from *OtK* thanking and complimenting me.
Need to see her again soon!

Contraption MK III
I had today off.. While doing my wanderings I realized place were I picked up the Nu-Rail connectors is open.
Grabbed the 3/4 connectors and went off to change things up..
Exchanged the 3/4 inch connectors for 1 inch connectors, plus picked up some other bits needed to make cross bar so that there was a mounting point right in the middle of box to work on suspensions and such.
Then off to Home Depot. bought bunch of 1 inch gas line pipe that combined with what I picked up already for Contraption MK II I was all set!
Put it all together.. and..
YES !! it holds my weight fine. It has a little bit of shake but I can fix that with some 45 degree supports later

Exotica Detroit, Day 2
Getting Going
Saturday is the big day.. dressed up a bit nicer than I did on set up and Friday, nice dark collared shirt, black shoes and still wanting to be comfortable a pair of jeans.
I arrived at the show around 11:00 and things were just picking up. Ally and Vena were going insane (as expected they would be until Sunday some time).
Shopping
I wondered around some and started my shopping..
First stop Rainbow Rope!Bought from them a whole new selection of ropes in much brighter colors, and some in smaller diameter than I have been using so far. Also bought a simple cupping set
and something from their metal shop.. but will save posting that for when I use it.
Over at Leather by Danny, I bought the strap that was shown to *A* and I at the Fetish Flea ..
Over at Torvea I picked up my first flogger, soft leather forgiving of mistakes, also picked up some CDs that were themed for background music for scenes. Also eying the Violet Wand.. I know I could have gotten much of what I bought cheaper at other places, but I like idea of supporting friends, even if they are brand new friends.
Rope Demo with *G* and *LilJ*
After I had finished my shopping, I notice a couple setting up for a rope demo, that had to be Liljgrrl and Daddy.. Off I go for introductions.
We hit it off quietly chatted some, since they were getting ready for show helped there a bit. *G* was very personable right off the bat. *LilJ* a bit more reserved, but you know, strange guy.. about to put on performance and so on, you have to be in a certain mind space. They had a long with them a new friend *Ktn* she seemed to be wide eyed and absorbing it all. While setting this all up, two other guys were chatting with us. Matt and Mike, both very cool to chat with and 6 of us were together most of evening.
*G* and *LilJ*’s demo was great to watch, I started taking pictures.. bit of a pain that, had to try best not to capture faces of others in background. As I positioned my self, I stepped on a bamboo pole they brought.. !! CRUNCH !! I felt like shit then and throw me off my mind set for photos. It was interesting watching *G*, He gets into a mind space about doing his scene and looses focus to what is around. From question by *A* I have had after our few scenes, she seemed concerned that I was not enjoying myself. I think the lack of emotion I saw on *G* as he worked must be a lot like my own.
After the performance (which put many ideas in my head), I told *G* about my error.. He laughed and said no worries and he did not even notice it happen. (PHEW) At that point we all made plans for dinner in a few hours. Greektown WOOT.. (did I mention I like Greek Food?)!!
Rope Class in Basement
Quickly we had to pack up everything upstairs and get it down to the club down stairs. *G* and *LilJ* were teaching a basic class on rope play. The class was really fun, I ended up helping out a bit in background. It was fun untying *LilJ*. They went into the basics of what rope, some simple ties, safety and such. Their friend *Ktn* had never been tied up.. The put her in a simple chest harness then put her down in the “Little Shrimp” basically doubled over facing down. They had put a line that goes down between *Ktn*’s legs with knot right in the happy spot. *G* went off to show some other rope work on *LilJ*, but no before twisting in a vibrator to the line between *Ktn*’s legs. She spent next 45 min whimpering on edge of getting off. Near end just before time to get *Ktn* out of her bondage.. *G* let her cum on stage.. in front of a crowd of about 30 people. I have to admit that was hot to watch/hear.. she was bright right from embarrassment later.. but pretty obvious she enjoyed.
First Suspension
After packing up *G* was ok.. suspension time. They asked *Ktn* if she would mind being suspended so I could learn, and she readily agreed. We set up a frame right in the middle of the lobby area of the show and started to set things up. Of course right away out came video cameras and photographers. If I messed up.. well it would be well recorded. *G* actually did most of the work, with me doing a bit of grunt work. But I understood and absorbed all that was going on. It was pretty cool when all done, and felt a lot better about trying this on my own soon (Been trying to perfect the contraption for a reason). It was *Ktn*’s first time being suspended so she could not last long. I liked their safety system. Basically the girl being tied will say loudly how much longer she feels she can be in a position or tied. like saying 3 very loudly for three minutes left. Going to use that one.

Exotica Detroit, Day 1
I knew Friday was not going to be a busy day so I decided if there was some stuff in Detroit I would want to see. Well not in Detroit, there is the Henry Ford Muesum, I would suggest if someone is in area to see that.. I had gone there on my first visit.. so off to find something else.
Really not much interested me that was in easy commute to get at.. well except Greek Town. Nice little strip next to a casino lots of yummy greek food. I spend a brief visit in the casino playing craps.. won a little but was not feeling it. So took my winnings and found a nice place to have breakfast/lunch. Stuffed my self with appitizers then a roast lamb sandwitch.. hmmmmmmmmm.
I eventually get to the show around 2:00 and start doing odd jobs. Also spent bunch of time chatting with vendors. My new favorite crack dealer Rainbow Ropes was there, and quickly made friends with Liz (one of the owners) chatting away and such. Also made acquaintances with a few other vendors. Even may have some business with someone who was vending that was local to me. ( nothing naughty.. get mind out of gutter)
Later on in evening had dinner with one of the vendors and by being in right place right time helped out with some side issues.
The party that night was fun.. the fashion show was my favorite, and Vivian came out and did a very sexy burlesque bit. (I really like burlesque). I also just kinda helped security out. Stopping no authorized photographers, and keeping eye that no one got tooo frisky.
One amusing note.. there was a Sybian available for rides in the a dark corner.. Well I did not know this.. a couple I had been keeping eye on for getting too frisky for some time.. the girl was up on a table and squatting over what looked in the dark like a guys head. Called over security lead, his eyes bugged.. he got in closer then laughed. She was riding Sybian, that is fine.. but ya she had no panties on.. so cut short.
And before you ask.. to keep things clean it was just a low bump attachment on the Sybian and saran rap was over top to be change between girls
All all a quiet but very fun night.. called it quits around 2:00 and head back to hotel.. 10 min walk.. not a soul on the street
