Adventures!
What a crazy 2.5 days! In less than 60 hours, I:
- Arrived at Scarborough, dropped my trailer, and had about 2 hours to get ready for the weekend.
- Got picked up by Kelly and Trina, and they, Laura, and I went to Panoptikon, where we met up with Dianna and Strange, and we all danced and had a great time! I also messed up my hip and overall enjoyed Lord Byron's spinning.
- All of the above drove up to Norman Medieval Faire on Saturday, wandered around, had a great time, bought some things, and were just generally patrons. My find of the day was Odyssey Craftworks, an incredible silversmith from Kansas City, and I bought this pendant. Then we ate some delicious fried pies en route to Scarby, where I picked up my truck, and we braved the construction in Temple, TX to find a hotel for the night.
- On Sunday we slept in a little before heading to Sherwood, where we wandered around and were patrons again, albeit slighty more obnoxious ones ("Where are the turkey legs?" "Where are the restrooms?" *walk in the opposite direction* "I can make that myself!"). I left early, and drove back to Scarby.
- Then I changed into Antidote* and drove up to the Church for its Haute Noir fashion event, where I saw Di again and got to see a very good fashion show. I wasn't chosen to compete in the best dressed contest, alas (I didn't have the right attitude when I came in, I guess), but so it goes. The music there has changed a bit - the video lounge was pretty much all 80's, but the main room was better, imo. It did have a significant length of time where the music was lame, but they did have some sections of better and/or newer music, and after bar close they pulled out the aggrotech and got really crunchy. I was getting concerned about my alertness, so I only stuck around until 2:30/2:45.
So that was my weekend of craziness! I had a great time, despite my initial trepidation about trying to squeeze in so many things and so much driving. Woot!
* 10 minutes were spent struggling with my getting my left stocking to effing stay attached to my garter belt! I really need one that fastens more securely. Fuck that noise.
