A Dark Victorian Dream....?

[digitaldiscipline]

So, instead of going to C13, I apparently went there nocturnally.

Meet & Greet, hanging out with Gavin & Maggie (and their sprog), Winter (albeit, oddly, without his beard and much slimmer), Trystan's husband; Madelyn, and several other folks.

Spent a lot of time hugging a corseted Madelyn and trying not to get her makeup on my face/forehead. Talked hockey with Gavin (oddly, it was Sabres-Coyotes in the Cup finals). G&M's sprog had won a martial arts competition and had gotten an etched bit of coral as a trophy instead of the usual gold-plastic-crap thing. Trystan's beau ranted briefly about how annoying DJ appreciation people were ("Don't say how much you liked the song! Say how cool the (list of esoteric DJ equipment) is! Of course, by the end of the evening, they're usually too drunk to say most of that... which is also annoying."

Err, yeah.

Then, in lieu of the Kegger Contingent, there was a radio morning show doing a beer keg collection for charity, giving out prizes for the team that collected the most (133,800 kegs... eeep), and the one that collected the most more than they had last year (79,600).... followed by a singularly peculiar segue into the home of a crack-smoking middle-aged woman in a clingy, off-the-shoulder green dress and her mortified 20-something daughter, and the grouchy, rude boyfriend of one or the other of them who borrowed my water bottle without asking.

Okay, so it -began- realistically, and then the wheels came off.

It was a really nice forest green corset, though. And you had some weird glittery thing going on with your makeup. I'm sweaty and male, and look bad in makeup, and it was a combination of that and not wanting to ruin yours that was behind it... not because I didn't want to be in Rack Proximity. ;-)

I am glad some people had fun last night.

lets just say if it were not for the kegger contingent here in Portland my night would have sucked much worse than it did. I am however looking forward to the Pirate Fashion Show this afternoon its gonna rock.

Oh and the T-shirts Perter Bought will be displayed Proudly. YAY

I never realized how much I would miss all you guys I hope there is some sort of happy medium to be found.

oh and

which visitor might that be? there are a bunch of folks coming to Gothopia this weekend...

Just a question, since I've seen you around of late...

"who the heck *are* you?" i can't figure it out from looking at your lj; i fail at sneakiness. *laugh*

i'm sure some folks had fun; i went out to dinner with some friends here in Ybor (gotta make sure the place we're looking to book sunday brunch maintains their superlative rep, don'tchaknow).

i'm also looking forward to getting my Kegger Contingent shirt (probably in the mail, or maybe on the cruise).

Would have been more realistic if he was talking about video equipment, but close enough for a dream ;-)

Coyotes in the finals? Hah! What'd you smoke before going to bed?

Ummm... sushi. Fresh salmon tends to elicit particularly vivid dreams for me.

We are going to spend much of the summer working on the house and refinancing (apparently, usury isn't illegal in real estate) - but I/we need to reconnect with you and K and all our CG buddies soonish. I know about Ybor winning (congrats, BTW), but I may not wait that long.
