A weedend's worth of Lulz:
Thursday, played a gig with BUČAN BUČAN at Rifflandia! First set: very overdressed- coats, hats, fur, I had tails under a cloak. Second set: regular Bučan- I had dress pants, suspenders, and a red tank-top. Third set: very underdressed!- I had dress pants unbuttoned and unzipped, suspenders, and shoes. I got TOTALLY checked out, like how you hear women complain about men talking to their breasts; this women spent a good 15 seconds leaning back slightly and staring right at my crotch.
Later that night, DJ Champion was playing and I was down in the mosh area. Now, I've heard horror stories about people being smothered and trampled in mosh-pits, and seen some pretty rowdy behaviour, but this is Victoria, so when two dudes went down to the floor everyone around them stopped moshing and backed up to give them room, while a couple of guys stepped in to help them up. Afterwards, everyone went back to moshing as though nothing had happened. We're so [expletive deleted] polite here.
Even LATER that night, I was driving down the street and passed a group of people which included a really cute girl in a sparkly headdress with an accordion! Yeah, I couldn't just pass by that, so I circled the block, parked, and got out to give her a hug. I said, "Excuse me, but I just had to give the cute accordion girl a hug, because that's awesome!" She pointed at me and said, "No, YOU'RE awesome!" and gave me a big hug. She and her friend were visiting Victoria on a whim from Saltspring Island, and didn't have a place to stay. After walking around to try to find an open/non-full hostel, I brought them back to my place to spend the night. We had a great conversation that went until 4:30am, and in the morning she did my dishes for me!
Friday was work and going to a friend's to watch Dollhouse.
Saturday was an SCA event, the Coronet Tourney for the Principality of Tir Righ (in An Tir) which was hosted by the local group. We arrived on site around 1pm and left at about 12:30am. The story of my night-time activities involved Carolan's, Amarula, tequila, and rum slushies, and comes across better as a Rowley Birkin QC sketch, which looks like this:
"Mumblemumble mumble I went to the Lion's Gate fire, mumble mumble mumble a charming girl, though somewhat shy. Mumblemumble mumblemumble making trouble with Burnadette! Mumblemumblemumble a Mexi-CAN! Mumblemumblemumble rainbow-coloured pubic hair! Mumblemumblemumble in an Eileen sandwich! Mumblemumble mumblemumble a young japenese girl with striking blue eyes. Mumblemumblemumble the Princess called me a schweinehund- A schweinehund! Mumblemumble mumble Sir Oak was about to pee on me mumblemumblemumble...
I'm afraid... I was very, very drunk."
