Greetings and Welcome to the 35th International Mr. Leather Weekend! Like every IML before now, the IML staff does everything possible to make each of you feel welcome to everything that happens this weekend. We are truly glad you’re here. So is the City of Chicago! This year we move to a new hotel, The Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile, a convention hotel located in the heart of Chicago’s shopping, culture and dining districts. Although this is a new property for us, we have worked closely with the staff at the Marriott and have done all we can to be prepared and ensure that IML XXX5 is the best ever. As always, IML weekend is filled with parties, mixers, socials, seminars, lectures and a multitude of opportunities for you to re-connect with old friends and make many new ones along the way. Oh, and there is the Vendor Market, too! Our returning guests already know that the Vendor Market is the social hub during each day through the weekend. The vendors cater to just about every desire you may have and represent some of the finest in gear, products and services available to leatherfolk. And for you first-timers, take your time, pace yourself and remember to breathe! There is much to take in ... there is much to explore and discover. And always remember, if you find yourself a little lost, our 300 staff and volunteers are there to assist you as best they can. This year, all of the Contest-related events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night will be outside of the hotel. Opening Ceremonies and Pecs and Personality will be held at The Vic Theatre in Lakeview. On Sunday evening, the Contest will once again be returning to The Harris Theater in Downtown Chicago. We know moving people to these venues will be no small task, but we will do our very best. We just ask for a little patience since Chicago traffic can often live up to its reputation for being difficult! As you go through the weekend, there is much to do. Not just inside IML and the host hotel, but the local bars, shops, restaurants, theatres and museums are available for you to enjoy. But relax. Don’t try to do it all in one day ... or two. Okay, maybe three! But by all means, enjoy all that our great city has to offer.

Course work includes field application and learning from the analysis of local buildings, landscapes and cultures. Requires travel in/around Madison and Milwaukee. Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures is an interdisciplinary research area concentrating on the examination of the physical, cultural, and social aspects of the built environment. The program serves students enrolled in the architecture and history of art doctoral programs at the UW Milwaukee and Madison campuses respectively. Course Description || Pedagogical Objectives This course is about reading the quotidian built environment (that includes ordinary buildings, landscapes, material objects, and urban places) as cultural artifact. By focusing on the material world this course expands our methods of historical inquiry beyond the analysis of written records, texts, biographies, art, photography and folklore. Primarily borrowing from material culture studies this course also adapts methods and theories used in sub-fields such as environmental history, urban/architectural history, landscape history and public history. Buildings Landscapes Cultures scholars train to do interdisciplinary humanities research. Field application and field work is central to the way we learn. Theories and methods used in the field will be applied during analysis of real buildings, landscapes and cultures.

It didn’t matter if he was drawing on typing pa- per or blank pages inside of books. All he wanted to do was draw. And so, the story begins with Lucas being the typical younger brother who enjoyed annoying his older sister and her friends when they came over. One evening, his sister had a slumber party. One girl brought a stack of comic books, knowing Lucas loved them. She told him he could look at them if he promised not to pester them. He agreed. In that stack were Casper, Superman and the one that would steal his heart forever.
