About this event
Ruff Trade's IML welcome party brings together the pup, pet, and handler community at Cell Block, a legendary home for leather and fetish culture in Chicago. Meet other pups and handlers, swap scritches and sniffs, and dive into the scene that's been central to this community for decades. Whether you're new to pup play or a seasoned handler, this is the night to connect.
