sistawendy | a better than average second half of the weekend

Went to the annual goth barbecue at chez C. Seldom-seen People in Black looking fabulous despite all the warm weather and sunshine. I've never not loved them.

Went to Tacoma Girl's new digs in the south end of Seattle. I must say, I'm a bit jealous of her access to the light rail. We had some ramen & gyoza that we picked up weeks ago at H Mart. I brought nice sake & mead, natch. Much punk & early techno was listened to. And a pox on Metro for reducing the late-night frequency of my usual bus home from U District station to the point where I again called a Lyft.

Maybe it was C's barbecue, in combination with the long ago Blue House parties a few blocks away, that inspired me to gauge interest in a Halloween party here at the Devil Girl House. Yeah, I used Zuckerberg's data mine. No, I'm not proud of that. I did my best to manage expectations: I cannot hope to manage the epic level of decoration and costuming that I saw every year at the Blue House. Nevertheless, response was enthusiastic, so I guess I've committed. Time to start planning. Seattle-area peeps, save the date: Saturday, October 26th.
