cjlc boston webThe Boston Annex, founded in 2017 by Stephan and sweetwisteria, is a proud and unconventional extension of the Carter Johnson Leather Library. Dubbed the "Rogue Annex" by Mama Vi, our journey began when we were “voluntold” to host an Annex—so in true Boston style, we ran full speed ahead. Despite never receiving our official starter pack of books (thanks, pandemic!), we’ve independently curated a 600+ book collection spanning 200+ authors. Committed to preserving leather history and fostering community learning, we launched author readings, weekend intensives, and The Rogue Gazette. When the pandemic hit, we kept the spirit alive, continuing the Gazette and adapting to a changing world. Now, as Boston’s fetish community rebuilds post-pandemic, the Annex is stepping up—hosting monthly affinity groups for those on both sides of the slash, rekindling in-person events, and planning guest lectures and readings. Boston has always gone rogue, and so have we. With a passion for education, history, and connection, we’re creating spaces for learning, reflection, and accountability. And one day soon, we’ll welcome Mama Vi to see just how brightly her Rogue Annex shines.
