QX talks to promoters
SUZIE KRUEGER
and
ROB RUTT
about
the upcoming Hotwired Sports special…
After five years as a strict leather and
rubber only club you’re doing Hotwired
Sports. Why?
Suzie: We wanted to try something new.
Hotwired Sports is a one-off party. Lots of
people ask us to do Hotwired more than once
a year, so we decided to try a spring party and
add sports to the dress code. We know a lot
of guys love sportswear and a lot of younger
guys can’t afford leather or rubber gear.
Can I still wear leather and rubber to
Hotwired Sports?
Rob: Absolutely. It’s leather, rubber
and
sports.
So it’s still pretty strict.
Suzie: It’s a dress code party. People can’t turn
up in jeans and a harness. Check the dress
code on the website or email us.
What kind of thing do you include in
Sports?
Rob: Sexy sports: football kit, Speedos,
wrestling suits, rugby, jocks with long socks.
We want people to make an effort so no
manky tracksuits or baggy old gym shorts
from school please.
Is Hotwired Sports in the regular
Hotwired venue?
Suzie: Yes, we’re lucky enough to get Ewer
Street Car Park for a May Bank Holiday date.
We love that place.
What have you done to sort out the coat
check issues from October?
Rob: We’re really sorry about what happened
in October. Suzie and I were both gutted
that it spoilt some people’s night and we’ve
worked hard to make sure it doesn’t happen
again. For this party we’ll have two separate
coat checks. Plus, we’ve also hired extra
washing facilities.
Will October be a Hotwired Sports, too?
Suzie: No. October will be a regular leather/
rubber Hotwired like always.
Can we expect any surprises for this
party?
Rob: Always!
Hotwired is a fetish party with but you
also have a really busy dance floor.
Why do you think that is?
Suzie: We have brilliant DJs like Jon Delano,
Brent Nicholls and Tony Bruno playing great
electro/techno/house. We also have an
incredible light show and huge LED screen.
Our dance room is a fun place to be! Plus, we
have Lucious Flajore and Wes DB playing dirty
grooves in the play area.
Any last word for Hotwired newbies?
Rob: Come down and see for yourself. It’s
an incredible venue, we get the hottest guys,
the dance floor is rammed and there’s zero
attitude. There’s nothing like it in London.

“I always thought I
was fat, and hated
put a reason on it,
it was just always
the way I felt.”
G-A-Y
head mistress
Jeremy Joseph
undertakes his sixth London Marathon in aid of the Elton John AIDS Foundation this
he easiest way to describe
my life at school in sport? It
was very simple: you know
when you get the two most
popular boys in the class and
they pick their teams? I was
always the one left at the end
and they would argue not to
have me. I went to an all-boys school that
played rugby and it scared me. The thought
of a man tackling me scared me. (Now, of
course, I love it.)
It made me feel like I should do
Drama, and I did. My drama teacher was
amazing. When games was on I used to
go and hide in the drama block and help
him out. Everything in my life has been
based on me doing what I think I’m good
at, so I was crap at sport at school, so I
focused on other things.
I knew all my life I was gay, and I
fancied my best friend. I was the class
clown so I think that saved me from being
picked on for being gay. It wasn’t the nicest
of places, it was a very rough school. I
wasn’t open about being gay, but one
day I tried to come out. I told two guys at
school, but both reacted negatively and I
backtracked in a school-boy style saying
I had just said it to see if
they
were gay. I
had to go back in the closet.
T
Since the age of sixteen I thought I was
fat, and I did the stupidest things. I took
diet pills and other stuff to kill my appetite
to stop myself eating. I don’t know where
that perception came from, always thinking
that I am fat and hating my body. I can’t
put a reason on it. It was just always the
way I felt. I have things like I’ve worn the
same belt for six years because it has a
notch on it that I have to fit in, and I weigh
myself twice a day.
But it got to the point where I was
fucking up my body taking so many pills. It
caused depression and mood swings and
I couldn’t do it any more. I woke up one
morning, and I’d got myself down to seven
stone and decided to change it.
I tried going to the gym, but every
personal trainer I used tried to make me do
things that weren’t right for me, like making
me bigger and more muscular and it wasn’t
what I wanted. I got my own treadmill at
home and it helped with my eating disorder
because it gave me the courage to eat. I
use the word courage, because that’s how I
perceived it. I could justify having a proper
meal because I could run the next day to
burn the calories off.
One day we had a power cut and the
whole street was out, so I went out to do
a street run instead. I used to run an hour
a day, but outside I could only manage
two minutes. I thought it was ridiculous
so I started running outside. One of the
guys I ran with suggested he could get
me a place in the London Marathon and
I went along with it as a joke, putting it
on Facebook and setting up a Justgiving
page. I got sponsorship quite quickly and
I suddenly thought, “Fuck, now I actually
have to do it.”
I was petrified. I didn’t know what I’d
let myself in for. I remember doing one run
for about 12 or 13 miles and threw-up. As
time went on I learned little things about
taking carb gels at the right time, and how
important it was to do sports massages
regularly and wearing knee supports during
training, not waiting until you have an injury.
When I finished my first London
Marathon, I wanted to start crying. I swore
when I did it, I’d never do it again. But now
six years later, I’m still doing it. But I learned
it helps me with my eating disorder, it keeps
me healthy, and it keeps me running.
However, this year has been a
nightmare, because I gotten over
confidant and I over-trained and now
have a shin splint injury. I had a dream of
doing a four-hour marathon, but it’s not
going to happen, I’ll be lucky if I don’t
have to walk it!
