Well, SMIRC 2025 is in the books and all I can say is THANK YOU.
Thank you first to my @AttnWhor-69 and my @wifeywhore-69. Without the hard work of these two amazing women, SMIRC wouldn't exist.
From securing our venue, to thankless and unseen paperwork on insurance for the event and payment processing to pick ups at the airport all the way to reminding me to pack a bag, it just couldn't happen with out you.
To the presenters, @TwoKnottyBoys, @Danarama, @IsisRock, @-JD-, @baby_growl, Chingon_Cuerdas,
ADlightfulPain, @Miss_Acacia, @CareOfCurseTen, @SabreHyde, @Ana_Recondite, @valuableboy, Winter_Wolf, @lex_red, TheBigBadCoyote the content you have created and shared was fantastic and because of you everyone learned so much. @RopeSiren, thank you so much for being available Sunday morning to bottom with our presenter after their tying partner fell ill. I always tell people, while the top my do a lot of the motion and talking, if it wasn't for their presenting partner and bottom, they'd just be standing up there looking kinda silly. So thank you for helping make the class possible.
To the volunteers, @robrogirl, @TheMtnLioness, @SirSugar, @Ropedaddy, @AuraLee33, @MsMidnight, @I-Love-ropebondage thank you for watching registration, watching doors, driving presenters back to the airport and the other countless ways you just make SMIRC better by simply being there.
@TwistedJute, thank you for coming and vending wonderful rope. If anyone missed the chance to purchase rope at the conference, you can find them at twistedjute.com. @ArcadiaDetroit, thank you for providing our Saturday night venue. @UndeniablyAtreyu and JaneLou thank you for being our venue reps and all the clean up and setup. @Sequentialized, thank you for the materials for the NCSF - The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. For anyone that reads this or attended, I would encourage you to look into the NCSF and support their work.
To everyone that attended, thank you for coming, your energy and enthusiasm is alway infectious and watching your passion for rope grow brings me a joy I can scarcely describe.
To those of you who stuck around after close and helped with tacking down and loading up all the rigs and room clean up, thank you so much, because of you I managed to get home in time for dinner and actually got 10 whole hours of sleep to start recovering from such a lovely weekend.
Watch out for con drop for the next few days. Be kind to your body, drink water, eat, get rest. Be kind to your mind, write a note, post a pic, call a friend to help not get lost in your own head.
All of you are amazing and all I can say about SMIRC 2025 is THANK YOU!
We believe laughter and engagement are the best paths to rope education
