Just a week or two after the 9/11 attacks, the Crowne Plaza hotel in Queens was the site of the first BondCon fet convention.
We had hundred of BDSM/fetish folk on one side of the hotel - while on the other they were hosting a very somber black tie firefighter's tribute complete with tux-wearing violin players in the crowd.
It was surreal to say the least.
By the end of the Saturday night...we had friends, family and firefighters mingling and thanking the organizers of BondCon for providing a momentary distraction to the grief and pain.
No one chastised the Crowne Plaza for having the two radically different groups together on the same weekend.
