Event Coordinators

Bridgid She/Her
Bridgid (she/her) is an Indigiqueer Slave and Bootblack from Southern Indiana. For nearly 16 years, she has been collared to her Sir and husband, Master Michael. She is also the current Director of Communications for the Carter/Johnson Library and Collection and personal assistant to Mama Vi Johnson. She was also appointed as the Midwest slave for 2023 and 2024.
When she's not serving her Sir or her community, bridgid is an avid gamer (PS5 for the win!), a knitter, and a reader. She also has a soft spot for souped-up cars, motorcycles, and other things that go fast.
In her community, she is a board member of her local munch and was a member of MAsT: Evansville when it was still active. She and her Sir have taught at their local munch, MAsT: Evansville and MAsT: Gettysburg. She is a member of the Council of Indigenous Leather (CoIL). Bridgid is a passionate advocate for Indigenous rights, leveraging her role as Midwest Slave to raise awareness about critical issues like blood quantum and the harmful ideologies it reinforces. A complete and updated class list can be found on Fetlife.
Like many other contests, we have a person assigned to chaperone our contestants, and help take care of any last minute issues. The Den Daddy/Mommy/Handler (whatever they wanna identify as!) will be there to assist the contestants in getting where they need to be when they need to be there, wearing what they need to wear, as well as providing last minute advice and behind-the-scenes support to those competing.
Den Handler

Pup Aether He/They
Aether took his first steps into the scene in 2019 and currently resides in Bloomington. Aether has roamed all over the Midwest where they have attended and volunteered at events during their time in the community. This pup has worked with Titans of the Midwest and Indy-PAH primarily, but is always happy to support other communities. This self-proclaimed puppy paladin wants everyone around them to know they are safe and welcome. As a pup and boy, they are motivated by a desire to serve. Inflicting lame puns and dad jokes are a favorite activity for this pup.
