Feetback Party in Cologne

It's long been an ambition to get to Cologne and visit the Feetback party that is organised there. The opportunity arose when Stainless noticed that the next Feetback Party coincided with CSD - the German Gay Pride festival, so tickets and hotel were booked, and off we went to Cologne for the weekend. Feetback doesn't have a website of its own, as it is largely promoted on GayRomeo which is best described as the a continental version of Gaydar. Feetback is one of the many clubs on GayRomeo and use the website to publicise and announce their events. Feetback meets at the Midnight Sonne, which is easy to find and near to other gay places in the western part of town. The club has a small bar and a smoking room with seating that seems designed for foot/sneaker worship. Stainless spent most of the time on the floor, as per usual. There is a playspace behind the bar which was well lit and well suited to foot-activity. There is a further darker space in the basement with slings and stuff which was more popular with the fuck-and-suck guys rather than the foot and footwear fetishists. The place was decorated with lots of old sneakers hung from every available point - I was surprised that any didn't go missing as there were some very nice Shox and TNs among them. The crowd was a mix of ages from 20's to 40's and everyone was friendly. There were a lot of guys who seemed to be there to chat or "be seen" rather than engage in play. There was plenty of activity to keep us happy :-) The evening ended at midnight and we headed back East on the Tram a couple of stops to take in Boners and Station2b on the way back to our hotel. I'd definitely go again - and now you can catch the EuroStar to Cologne it might be on the cards again soon...
