T and I took two buses each way for the long trip to Equinox Studios. Yes, it's the same place I went with Dancer last month, but this time there were food trucks and bands.
Why something special ("Very Open House") in December? I've just answered my own question: many of the artists were selling at least a few Christmas-themed goodies. I wasn't there for holiday shopping, though; I was mainly there to hang out with T.
Speaking of T, she seems to be doing pretty well with dating. That's because she's working the apps but, as I told her on the southbound 132, every time I think about going back to the apps I also think, 'Do I have to?' She agrees that maybe now is not the time for me to do that.
But! T & I had a good time. We battled the crowds through the twisty maze that is Equinox to explore as thoroughly as we could manage. There were several times when I wished I had budget to buy and space to display things I saw there; I did collect a couple of business cards. There were eats from food trucks. And I believe that was the Chaotic Noise marching band that we heard, and they don't suck. Neither did any of the other bands I heard.
The weather, however, did suck at times. It's Seattle in December; waddaya want? Luckily, I was ready with The Coat, which garnered all the compliments, and my beat-up umbrella.
I had wanted to go to the Mercury afterward to see some rarely-appearing old friends, but by the time we got back to my house on the bus and I finished with on-call nonsense, it was 2245. I stayed home with my FOMO.
But! Yes, Equinox! Highly recommended for a friend date or a date date.
I feel as if I've had an unusually virtuous weekend what with all the mass transit and not much alcohol. I hereby resolve to be a party nun for the rest of the month. And boy howdy, will there be opportunities for that:
