What a weekend. I was worried that I had retired for some time there. What, with my weekends of tea toddling and cursory political meta-referential discussion followed by hard weeks at Local Unionized Grocery Store, I thought perhaps I'd dried up.

Leave it for well-enough kept Toronto queer scene-ish party Vazeleen to get my booty shaking once more. I'd planned on being a troupe of Ninjas. But Raymond ([livejournal.com profile] stingray1975) decided he had a better costume. And I'd forgot parts of mine at home. So long story short John ([livejournal.com profile] jgrizz and Greg ([livejournal.com profile] plaidninja) kept to the plan. I became some sort of expired martial arts enthusiast from the 1980s. We drank, danced and I ended up in a place I never expected to be stone cold sober wearing a wig with a handsome man. One more unnecessary life experience to check off there.

Right, Vazeleen. What's so great about this party is that it's this awesome intersection of people. Indie gays, rock dykes, aesthete bears and all sorts of queer people come together and have an excellent time. I asked several people what band played but it was too fucking noisey to find out. Some caveman mook rock dance band from Montreal whom were not great but definitely performed well and had the party moving.

Saturday was Marget Cho with a bunch of gays. I've seen only a few performances by the woman and have always laughed. However her DVDs had my sides splitting. That doesn't happen very often to me, although I wish it would. We headed to the ghetto and slutted it up on the street. Some non-bear-club promoter bear club double speak party was happening above O'Grady's and seemed to be dispersing right as me and my gays arrived. Or at least all the guys I wanted to have sex with seemed to be leaving. Oh harshness, I know but whatever. I was ripped on Cho. cheap Australian wine and ready to fierce it. The street was exciting but not too much so. Gays dressed up as Hooters girls accosting Police squad cars etc.

I woke up the next morning and went to work. Handed out candy in Westdale and Martin and Lindsey's sitting around watching various weblog bits on the notebook WiFi New TV thingy. Went to bed slept like a rock... be more entertaining. OK. I'm try.

I joined a punk band and had my first rehearsal last night. They are called Red Label and play music I don't really listen to. So I am working as Ms. Bass discoing up their cute brand of hardcore metal punk with a nice slather of disco pink. The amp at the jam pad is much better than mine and can make a fierce cutting crunchy pick brushing sound when we really get into a groove. We'll see how it goes but it's my duty in the band thus far to have them do less dramatic metal turn around tempo stop theatrics and just stick to a little more jam.

To work! Afterwards an election party at Brendan's. Where we will drink to Kerry's win or continue drinking for Bush's until we are no longer conscious.

There are lots of commentable facets to your post, but I think I will just commend you on your stunning use of the word "fierce" and leave it at that.

It's a wig! Ray was a mad professor. Too bad you were feeling bad. If you were well I would have dragged you out screaming.

That band was HORRIBLE!! We voted them 2nd worst Vazeleen band ever. Gads. I was fearful the place would be empty by the time they finally stopped making that noise, and the party would have ended before it had a chance to begin.

When they finally stopped, i had a great time. How can you not LOVE bobbing for buttplugs?

Oh when they were bad they really were. The rock heads were shitting their pants in dislike. But their drummer was on and the one-finger bass lines combined with good beats weren't bad at all. Worked with the whole caveman primitive thing they were working. As soon as the drummer got off his stool it sucked out loud.

They had the right personality for Hallowe'en IMHO, though.

I had a blast hanging with you & da boyz!

And for the record: it's not that I had a better costume, but that I didn't have all the ninja accoutrements. Also, since I own no dark pants, I would have simply worn jeans & a black t-shirt over my head. That would have sucked & also I would have over-heated.

Thank you for the fab post!!!
