late night eats with a space alien

I made it to the Night Kitchen with shivana, formerly known as Tall Girl, for some mellow late night eats last night.

She's from a planet different from mine, but she comes in peace. She uses pronouns unknown even to most MOOers. (Yeah, I screwed them up once. Bad trans woman! Bad!) She & her brother used to kick at each other as fetuses - from separate wombs. As I told her, "alt kids", among whom she numbers herself, didn't exist in 1980's Gainesville, FL. It's a brave new world she comes from, and probably a happier one.

She's one of the few people who's explicitly invited me to squee at her about Full Time and its aftermath. I know I've bored or squicked a lot of people, so it was a nice change. I got to impart my limited Burning Man wisdom. ("Don't bring anything you care about.") I could have gone on a lot longer than I did, which was plenty.

groove and people to share it with, thanks to the Internet

Remember the BYODJ (Be Your Own DJ) parties that I (tried to) have at the old place? Well, now there's something like that on the Internet, only better in some ways: turntable.fm, where you & others upload & play MP3s you like. My fave room? "Electronic music snobs return", of course.

Big, big thanks to xaotica for turning me on to this.

I'm kicking myself for not doing turntable.fm or the electronic snobs room first.
