Swoooooooooooooords (Also: Lemons!)

As mentioned eloquently elswhere on here today, last night's VNV show was a darn good time.  I didn't have the transcendant musical experience some other folks did, but I enjoyed the occasion.  First and foremost, a big THANY YOU to donwaughesq for playing enabler.

I enjoyed standing (and bouncing) around with the friends in attendance more than anything else; I've missed that flavor of socializing for a while, and, despite needing to shout to be heard, even from an inch away, it was just what the doctor ordered.  Pre-show dinner at TBBC was, as ever, quite enjoyable - Lurch (name still not known) gives superlative service and the right flavor of snark to set off any meal.  Giving him shit, and then asking for extra lemons resulted in getting a plate full of uncut citrus fruit.  Well played, Thing.

netgoth was again able to render me nigh unto speechless with an honest observation, though I didn't accept her compliment with anything resembling grace. *sheepish smile*

aishlynn and I have subsequently enjoyed a day absolutely chock-full of Slack, with a brief interlude to provide first-aid supplies to someone doing repair work across the street.  Let it not be said that our neighbors ever ask for anything normal. . . we have midnight fire alarms, random queries for three dollars (and the subsequent return of same), and requests for rubbing alcohol to clean wounds. *shakes head and laughs*
