happy-making things
I hit the Mercury for May the 4th. I've largely outgrown my once intense Star Wars fanship, and I don't have any Star Wars-specific costume pieces, but it warmed the cockles of my heart to see a goth club full of Sith, Twi'leks, and Stormtroopers.
Plus, I got to pump a couple of people — A of A&J fame, Marc17 — for info about Wave-Gotik-Treffen. Said the latter, Moritzbastei is a good venue for larger bands and general hangout. To see bands you want to see, some planning and waiting will be necessary. I'll have to scan the (long!) program and do a little planning, but for better or worse, my capacity for going bAnAnAs as usual with planning will be limited by my ignorance.
Fear not, I'm only bringing practical shoes. We're talking Europe here, so there will be walking, even though I'm assured that German mass transit is the stuff.
Speaking of WGT, yesterday I emailed the fine folks there about my ticket. It said, contrary to their original and likely automated email, that they don't send tickets overseas and that I'll have to hit will-call. Kein Problem, and whew.
Edited to add: The tic in my right eye has stopped jumping. I don't think that's a coincidence.
