Fetish and market.  There are rarely fleas.

The first one was maybe a half dozen or a dozen vendors, maybe a hundred
people, maybe a couple hundred attended.  It was held at Man Ray.  I was
18 or 19, so that must have been '92 or '93; I was too young to attend so
I volunteered there.  Yeah, the most recent was #15, and there are
generally two a year, so '92 sounds right.

The most recent one had something like eighty vendors and four thousand
attendants, at the Bayside Expo.  I worked the door.  It was hard not to
marvel at the change over eight years.

For a number of years, it was at the Cyclorama in the South End, but it
really outgrew that a while ago.

It's fetish stuff.  Leather, corsets, floggers, singletails, paddles,
bondage stuff, magazines, organizations, political action commities, goth
stuff, medieval clothing, piercing jewelry, sex toys, stuff like that. You
can buy stuff.
