Sheryll again:

It's not really a job, just a volunteer thing for the
weekend - meet and greet on Friday, seminars and
competition on Saturday. Oh, and there was a launch
party for the event a few weeks ago.

This particular event is local, but there are lots of
similar events across Canada and the US. It's only a
small event compared to the Mr. Leather Ottawa-Hull
that takes place here in November, though that event
is obviously men only.

I really got roped into the job, albeit willingly. My
friend Alex was the event organiser and asked me to
help out. I learned a long time ago that if
volunteering for things gets me free food, I'm pretty
likely to agree to do it. The launch and meet and
greet had food. :D
