  • Curvesandcrevices: Hey COL Hosts! I wanted to let you know how much I am appreciating the new format, now that I have listened to a few episodes. I thought I would really miss the What’s Going On and Tumblr segments each week, but it’s been really great the way you’ve changed it. I  think the focus on the guests or topic on the shows is perfect, and the catchup show being monthly and without a topic gives it much more room to be its own thing. Change is hard, but done right, is so worthwhile. Always appreciate your efforts; keep it up! /Chris

While the term “bootblack” originates from the 1800s, in recent years the practice has experienced an increase in popularity in the Leather subculture. Bootblacks are commonly found in leather and leather-friendly bars, providing their services to the bars patrons. [From the online resource: The Bootblack Wiki]
