That means, no drunken naked bondage Werewolf for me this weekend. And that’s just very sad. I even missed bonedaddybruce and kaithia‘s engagement…congrats, guys!
On the good side, however, I had pie for breakfast last week. Every day last week. Very tasty peach pie, from the very tasty feyscorruption. And I didn’t even frighten her off!
Mmm, pie.
The lack of drunken naked bondage Werewolf was the unfortunate result of an unhappy coincidence involving Shelly’s test schedules and some last-minute changes of Greyhound bus schedules (“Go Greyhound, and leave your mind on the bus!”); up until mere hours before te convention was to have started, we still believed we’d be there. I did get to spend a nice weekend with Shelly, though, and wish her a happy birthday. (Happy birthday, sweetie!)
I am, however, facing something of a pickle. I’ve been invited to an Alice-in-Wonderland-themed party soon, at which, I’m told, costumes are mandatory. I don’t really have any costumes, nor anything from which to make one, nor the skill to make one even if I had the requisite materials. Does a pair of ears, a tail, and a Nitzer Ebb T-shirt qualify as a minimalist interpretation of the Cheshire Cat? Or is the Cheshire Cat more of a Einstuerzende Neubauten type, do you think?
Mmm, pie.
Somehow, it seems strongly apparent to me that the Cheshire Cat would be into Siouxsie.

I’ll be wearing my gothic cheshire cat costume.
I’m not sure that a Nitzer shirt would qualify… 😛
I think we may be thinking about different parties…
So you’re in the “Einstuerzende Neubauten” camp, then? 😛
I was thinking of Melissa and Sterling’s 😛
Melissa’s theme is Disney after dark.
And yes, I prefer Neubauten.
Seen them in concert.
Ah, no, different arty entirely. The theme is “Alice in Wonderland,” and apparently costumes are ecessary on pain of being stripped naked at the door.

Today we have 3 pies, all home made for turkey day:
Pumpkin (with a new recipe, so we’ll see how it goes over)
Pecan (tried and true and often requested)
and lemon meringue (first time ever making one – completely from scratch).
Even after a 20# turkey, brussel sprouts, carrots/turnips, beets in orange glaze, mashed potatoes and home made buns, oh – and stuffing natch, there will be NO pie left for my breakfast tomorrow. Evidently, my offspring agree with you about pie 😉
Three pies! Now that is an embarrassment of riches. I, too, wish to have three pies!
Too late – the lemon meringue was such a success that it is long (and first) gone. There is one piece of pumpkin left.
…
And now, I am sad.

a Mad Hatter might be easier… 🙂
Everything you need can probably be found at Goodwill.

Neubauten definitely. But really you should go and look for a tweed jacket with leather patches on the sleeves along with some frumply looking pants and go as Lewis Carrol then you have an excuse to leer and grope all of the little Alices
Yes. This.

I missed Necro as well. I could’ve used a fun drunken naked Bondage werewolf game.
Ah well.
Happy birthday to Shelly and YAY PIE!

Thanks for the “Congrats”…
There was definitely a shortage of rope tricks & floggings, but plenty of drunken nekid Werewolf.
