Wow.

I haven't had that much fun in one weekend since Defcon, although that was almost but not quite an entirely different kind of fun, and there was more alcohol consumed at Defcon than at Miss Kitty's, Disneyland, and the after-party (believe it or not). Three things both weekends had in common, though: I spent far more money than I planned on spending, met lots of cool people, and I didn't sleep much at all. for several days in a row.

So lets go through the past few days event by event:

Wednesday: The Burgundy Room
Several of the out-of-town guests arrived early for the weekend's festivities, so I went up to the burgundy room with dolorian,kira, and destro to join the usual suspects in welcoming them, welcoming snodogjustin back to town, and generally consuming copious amounts of alcohol including several car bombs (irish, not german). It was all sorts of fun.

Friday - Meet & Greet / Miss Kitty's
Well, I underestimated traffic, took too long buying a new shirt at Ipso Facto, and left work later than I had planned, so I missed the meet & greet altogether, but I met up with a bunch of people at miss kitty's (one of my favorite fetish clubs). I danced a bit, drank a lot, and got bitten by kira and dolorian, simultaneously. I thought pippi had mangled my right arm the other night, but Kira totally destroyed my left arm, leaving a couple really wild bruises which are both still big and ten shades of black, blue, and red. It was great. I got some food nearby with some other people, and somehow managed to make my way over to trilo's place, where I got a tiny, tiny bit of precious sleep.

Saturday - Disneyland / After-party
This was more fun than I thought it was going to be, but I felt a little bad, because I was a bit lethargic the first half of the day, when I was wandering around with a bunch of people I hadn't ever met before, including dreammaker, roxy, vikprez, freckle, mistersatan, and a bunch of other people whose member names I didn't catch (along with several of the supercool SGLA people I already knew), and I didn't really wake up until the sun went down, by which time I had split off from those people. Hopefully I didn't leave them too terribly much with the impression that I was antisocial, dreary, or disinterested, none of which reflect how excited and happy I was to meet everyone. But as soon as the sun went down, I was back to my smiley, awake and animated self. I spent the last couple hours there with trilobyte, kira, and dolorian, and we had a ton of fun. That time can be summarized in two lines:
1: tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki!!
2: SCHNOGGENBOGGEN!!!!!
Of course, I'm not sure about the spelling on that last one, but then, I'm not sure there's really a standard spelling. Update: Trilo and I have agreed on the official spelling, and there it is.

Then there was the after-party. LucidApathy has a pretty good summary of the evening's events, although since I somehow managed to find my drunk ass helping to break up the fight, it wasn't as much fun for me as it was for him. I do have to add a few things though. I was way late, as I stayed at Disneyland later than most, and then stopped by my house to soak the bloody stumps where my feet used to be for a bit. But I caught up real quick and had a lot of fun, had some great conversations, and then after the crazy drama had passed, most of the people had left, and the tasty vanilla vodka LTrain was kind enough to bring ran out, along with most of the rest of the alcohol, I stayed up until long after the sun came up talking with ava, who is alllllll sorts of badass.

========================
There was a bit more to my weekend, but kira and destro are still in town, and the time I'm required to be here is just about over, so I'm gonna cut this short and go hang out with them.
