The inaugural BLUFSF CUERO started out hot and ended up cool. Starting at 8PM, the first couple of hours saw temperatures in the low 90s providing a lesson learned for the next one: Wear modified BLUF to meet the weather. Though the attendance was sparse in the beginning, it picked up as the sun went down and temperatures dropped.

By the event’s end, folx had crowded the patio and Bootblack boy Zander saw some business come his way. Appearances were made by 2026 Mr. Bolt Leather Bear Boucher as well as previous Bolt titleholders. Overall, it was a successful night and we’re looking forward to the next one.

Many thanks to the following for making the night possible:

• The BLUFSF Team: Sir Aaron Wolf and John Kouletsis.
• The Bolt and Staff for hosting all of us on the outdoor patio.
• Bootblack boy Zander for manning the Bootblacking station making sure our gear was looking sexy.

The next edition of BLUFSF CUERO will be Friday, July 18th. BLUFSF HARD will be held on Friday, June 13th at the SF Eagle.
