catching up in October
An update of all the busy-ness (besides work, which is of course, busy).
Had a truly marvelous time on Tuesday evening; went on a sail out of Santa Cruz on the Chardonnay (a 70 foot sail boat); it was a wine tasting event sponsored by Beauregard Winery. It was incredibly fun! Rod and Allen accompanied Wyatt and I. It was a perfect swoop from the afternoon into the sunset. Much of the time the boat was zooming along nearly on its side, and somehow the deckhands (female) still managed to spill barely a drop as we tasted assorted chardonnays, zinfandels, and pinot noirs (including a so-so IMO reserve; the amusing part was a stop by the pier, where the owner jumped off the boat, ran up to his shop, retrieved a magnum of the reserve, then... eventually... managed to jump back on the boat again). It never even got truly cold! It was a delight, and pulled together at the very last moment.
Last night I (finally!!!!) got to see Serenity. As all have noted; it's great, go see it, I must go again! Huzzah for good buddies like bovil and kroche who were willing to go see it a second time themselves so I could get my firsts in!
My involvement in the Santa Clara County Leather Association's Leather Weekend is fully ramped up. I'm kinda an unofficial overall manager/tracker. Actual lead for the meet and greet, but trying to keep a grip on the whole thing so we don't have embarrassing holes. It's fun and a bit intense at times. I am trying not to be an asshole while I'm at it. ;-) Local leatherfolks, I could really use a couple volunteers to hawk leather treasure raffle tickets at the meet and greet, and to man the door at the show on Saturday night. I want the Meet and Greet to be a total blast. ... I found a good website to order cop/motorcycle boots from; Central Police Suppy (.com of course). Tall engineer boots will be mine! (man, what is it about clothes/boots some days?)
Am working on putting together a Baron Samadhi costume for Halloween. Just ordered a top hat, to go with my Kristi coat and a cane and skeleton hands. It should be fun. :-) A little white and green makeup may be called for...
