Great weekend already

Posted on | 2 years, 1 month ago, in the early afternoon | 4 Comments

Yesterday was packed to the brim, I tells ya. Around noon Ellen and I crashed Kat’s Not A Christmas Party down at the Big Picture, where we hung out with the usual suspects, had a couple of rum-and-Cokes (YES at that hour and WHAT OF IT?), and watched Hot Fuzz which is brilliant and deeply hilarious. For the record, Kat could throw an awesome party in an empty soup can; so I dare you to IMAGINE how cool the event at the underground, booze-happy theater went.

Though Kat’s party was a tough act to follow, Caitlin gave it one hell of a go later on that evening — at her very first recital. Not a piano recital. Not a voice recital. A burlesque recital! Because she’s spent the last six weeks learning to creatively undress, that’s why. Aric, Ellen, San, Seamus (whose name I’m probably misspelling, my apologies!), and yours truly showed up for the 9:00 p.m. event, wherein there might have been another rum-and-Coke but there was DEFINITELY a whole lot of fun. The acts were great, and Caitlin wriggled her way down to red sparkly heart-shaped pasties in front of God and everybody, but we weren’t allowed to take pictures, so sorry. Don’t ask! I haven’t got any.

Afterward, we collectively dragged the birthday-suit girl out to a nearby bar and had a little post-burlesque celebration. Then come midnight we all turned into pumpkins and went home. BECAUSE WE ARE OLD. But let it not be said that we let a killer Saturday pass us by!

And the weekend ain’t over yet. In a few minutes, I’m going to wander over to Ellen‘s place for her annual cookie-decorating shindig, which is guaranteed to be both tasty and cool. So please pardon the drive-by update, and if you smell a whiff of buttercream or a hint of sugar cookie, do think of me.

    Would it help to say that she’ll be getting pictures and that they are, in fact, quite good?

    Nice to meet you last night. I hope I wasn’t too fanboy, I was really drained by that point.

    I am glad to know she’ll have such fine pictures!
    And it was nice to meet you too, no worries :) I was rather tipsy by that point …

    What about rum? If we smell rum, are we allowed to think of you?

    I am perfectly content to be associated with rum.
