Personal

Went out to the Vogue last night for an old-school techno night. Only there for a bit (I’m not at my most energetic on Tuesday nights), but much fun. Any night that I get to hear Psychic TV’s ‘I C Water’, Underworld’s ‘Dirty Epic’, and Die Warzau’s ‘All Good Girls’ is a good one for me. :)

Ogre (the doorman for the Vogue, who Chad introduced me to shortly after I got to Seattle) has been doing Tuesday night shindigs for a couple months now, with different themes each week. I’m going to have to start hitting them a bit more often for some mid-week “get out of the damn apartment” evenings.

Next week is a ska night. :) Maybe he’ll play Mu 330’s ‘Stuff’. I’d be happy with that.

It was nice to see a good contingent of Dean supporters out and about during the festivities today. I’ve got a few pictures of them, but they’re pretty buried in the photo album, so here’s some direct links: one, two, three, four, and five.

Had an absolute blast out and about today at the Pride Day festivities. Gorgeous weather for a parade day — partly cloudy, so it was alternating warm sun and shade to let us cool off — and all sorts of fun people to watch. Watched the parade along Broadway, then wandered around the festival area at Volunteer Park.

Lots of fun — tons of pictures can be found in the photo gallery. Enjoy!

It’s gorgeous outside. Sun, clear skies, temperatures in the high 70’s to low 80’s — and I have to go to work. Grumble. On the bright side, it should be a gorgeous day for the Pride Parade tomorrow! Expect lots of pictures from that sometime Sunday…

I’ve been having a lot of fun with my guests — hence the lack of posts lately. I’ve got to go off to work, so I don’t have time for a wrapup right now, but I can point you over to Kirsten’s account of the last two days.

Of primary interest, however, is the public unveiling of a drink I came up with a few years back, and had been quite popular among my friends since then. We’ve just finally given it a name:

Quickie (shot)\
Equal parts Jagermeister and Aftershock or Goldschlager.

This is, by far, the most devious shot I have ever had. Babycakes says he came up with the idea for the shot when Jagermeister and Aftershock were both popular shots on their own. He decided to try and mix them – a stab in the dark he figured would either be a horrific failure or a gleaming success. Let me tell you – it’s definitely a gleaming success. You take this shot, wait about five or ten seconds, and then wham! It’s like you’ve just been right fucked and got hit up with a delayed orgasm. It had also not been named, this was the one I suggested. I think Babycakes may have previously referred to it as a Jagershock.

Enjoy!

I just found out while wandering around today that Seattle’s 5th Ave. Theatre will be putting on the Rocky Horror Show this September!

I am so there.

Poking my head up for a few moments to say hello!

Prairie came in to town Friday night, Kirsten and Denton showed up at my door Saturday morning, and the four of us have been having fun just tooling around town and hanging out. Some wandering around, a stop by Dragonfish for dinner last night, and a trip out to the Seattle Center to see Matrix: Reloaded in their IMAX theater.

It was HUGE. Fun, though!

That’s the excitement so far…
