Consider this one week notice for any of you that might be in the Seattle area: next Monday’s my 31st birthday, so I’m making the yearly “haul your ass to the Vogue and hang out for a while” call for Saturday night, May 1st.
For those of you who’ve been to the Vogue before, you know the drill. I should be there between 9 and 10 at the latest, very possibly earlier. This may be a pretty busy night, though — there are two other birthdays for Vogue regulars that night, and it’s the 10th anniversary celebration for Mickey and Ogre (NSFW user icon on that post…), so expect lots of people (though it’s likely that only the people who already know me will have any idea that it’s my birthday celebration too).
For those of you who don’t know the Vogue and might be tempted to stop by — it’s a goth/industrial/new wave club, so in general, black is by far the predominant color. I’ll be doing the boots/kilt/shirt combo, which in most other places would make me stick out like a sore thumb, but as there were no less than three kilted boys in black at the Vogue last night, not so much there. ;)
I’ll also be there on Sunday night (since at midnight it’ll actually be my birthday), so if there’s anyone who’d rather avoid the potential Saturday crowds and doesn’t have to be up too terribly early on Monday morning, that’s certainly another option. Of course, Sundays being the fetish night, be prepared for somewhat more extreme clothing choices by the regular patrons (which, for me, is often one of the reasons I enjoy Sundays…).
Anyway, that’s about as much planning as I’m likely to do for this thing. Hit the Vogue, bounce around to good music, hang out with any friends who feel like showing up, and generally have fun. Wheee! See you there if you can make it…
