Circa Nocturna
Went to Circa Nocturna, driven there by the lovely montjoye, who also fed me dinner beforehand. We went via mrsbrown's house to pick up her and [an SCA person who's name escapes me]. There we met up with doushkasmum, sjkasabi (when she was not running around being helpful), charlesnaismith and C.
Apart from the fairly awful Chardonnay and the merely moderately bad red wine sold as alcohol, some awkwardness from the lights and an MC who had no sense of audience, I enjoyed the show. (Sitting across from a very couple of pretty gay boys did not hurt either.)
The costumes were as varied as one would expect--in quality, aesthetic, finish etc. But I enjoyed the parade of pretty/striking people in pretty/striking costumes from start to finish. The migrated-from-Moscow Purpur line stole the show though my favourite piece was the metal corset with chains.
Ran into various other folk, notably martinlemechant (surprise).
Afterwards, we repaired back to mrsbrown & mr_bassman residence, joined by doushkasmum for hot chocolate and dissection, then home.
A fun night.
