Quick update… my costume went off without a hitch (except for the strange orange stain on my shirt last night). I guess I can reveal what I was now. I dressed as Alex from A Clockwork Orange! I’ve always wanted to do it and this year it all came together. I was in the process of getting all the parts for the costume when I spoke to Joshua to get his advice on how to create the codpiece. Boy did I choose the right person to call because, as luck would have it, he had created the entire costume 4 years ago! So, he loaned me the codpiece, the cane, the suspenders and the shirt! I wore the costume for Hedwig and even incorporated it into my final scene where I became Alex Gnosis. The only part of the costume that I didn’t like were the eyelashes. I glued those fuckers to my eye and they rubbed the skin around my eye raw. Because of that, I only wore them for Friday night. Both Saturday and Sunday nights were all about the makeup instead.

The Braindead party was great fun. We had a deliciously disturbing Cat Litter cake and I served pudding with red goo at the appropriate time in the movie. Most were delighted to get to eat pudding with Vera and Lionel, but some were not so keen on it and couldn’t get it down. That aspect of the screening party will definately have to be a staple from now on. The Ouija board later on was a complete failure, as well as the attempt at Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board. Otherwise, all had fun and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Last night’s Pumpkin Drop at CalTech was about as exciting as it ever is, which is to say, not really that exciting. The comment was made that they need to work on their presentation a bit. It occured to me that they probably only have one container of Liquid Nitrogen on top of that building and that probably keeps them from dropping those suckers faster. However, they did have a shiny new sound system that they haven’t had before and played some pretty good music for the event. As always, it was a great last resort.

I am happy that the party-vibe holidays are out of the way until New Year’s. These past few months have been so full of activity that it will be nice to have some time off from doing stuff all the time. It will give me a chance to catch up on the TV I’ve been missing lately. Not to mention drowning myself in hedwig related activity. This month is all about finding new people for the show, specifically a new Hedwig. Then, of course, November’s show must involve a Thanksgiving Pageant, so that always means lots of rehersal and prep work. Wish me luck!

Just stopping in here to let you all know that I’m still alive. I haven’t been in the right mood to be posting here, I suppose. I haven’t really been posting anywhere, for that matter. I’ve been busy with lots of stuff lately, though.

First of all, I got to see Powder again! The show was amazing and they were filming the video for Seat Of My Pants, too! During the show, I was blessed with a fly swatter and a sticker. The best gift I got at the show was the kazoo from Ninette’s mouth! I’m gross, it was still wet from her saliva when she threw it at me. Mmmmm… Ninette drool. The sound was incredible and the virgins I brought along were all very impressed and are all now fans. I can’t wait for the next show.

Since then, I have seen Jinsai perform twice. Once at an art show in LA and another time at a record store in Echo Park. Both shows were great and once again the virgins I brought along were impressed and are now fans. I just love that.

This weekend I finally got to see Corey flex her acting muscles. The show was a series of one act plays at the little theater at PCC. The acts were sometimes funny and sometimes uncomfortable, but all around fun. I really enjoyed it and it reminded me that I like seeing plays, but I rarely ever get to see them.

Speaking of plays… I almost forgot about Clue! On the 15th, Sin’s had their annual performance of Clue at the Nuart. The show was really fun. The cast was perfect and the show was much more than I expected. I highly reccomend seeing this show next year, but make sure and show up early because the line was all the way around the building!

I believe that is all the noteworthy events of the past few weeks,s o onto upcoming stuff…

This week is shaping up to be pretty nuts. Tomorrow is the 2nd half season premiere of South Park! It really has been too long. Thursday is GenderFuck at Hamburger Mary’s in Long Beach, at which Joshua and Kadimah will both be performing! I’ve only been to one GF, but I have yet to see K or J perform. Not to mention, this time April knows in advance and I get to see her down there, too! Friday, of course, is Hedwig, which is always stressful and fun. This show will be my second Halloween show with the cast and, as always, I am looking forward to our costume contest. Saturday is my Braindead party, at which I will be resuming my annual screening of Dead Alive. I’ve missed out on Dead Alive the past couple of years, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to reclaim the tradition.

Of course, then there is Sunday… I have absolutely no plans whatsoever for Halloween. There’s got to be something exciting happening that doesn’t involve going to We-Ho.

I have pictures from the past few weeks, but my computer that I store my pics on isn’t operational. So, as soon as I clean my office and get my computer working again, I will post away.

This weekend I ventured out of Pasadena for my very first trip to Las Vegas. Not sure what I expected to find there, but considering I’ve only ever been to the airport and the Office Depot, anything would have been fine with me. This trip was very spur of the moment and our luxurious accomadations at the Motel 6 reflected that. Not that I was complaining, of course. The cheap motel room made for more money to spend in the casinos.

I was impressed with my first look at the city of sin. I got out to a lot of the casinos that I have heard so much about and many that I hadn’t heard of at all. My game of choice was going to be roulette, but after losing $15 on the first night, I decided to keep away from those tables. It was just too random and I lost my money too quickly. Instead, I hit the $3 blackjack tables. The first time we played was at The Frontier and I was there for about 4 hours and in the end broke even with alcohol in my blood and a fresh pack of smokes. The second time was at Slots Of Fun (next to Circus Circus) and was there for about 2 hours. I also broke even and had a few drinks. I managed to make money while in the games, but always ended up losing my winnings and fighting to get back to what I had put in. All in all, though, the BJ games were some of the most fun I had all weekend. I am excited to go back next year and clean up.

There was lots of other fun throughout the weekend and most of it was fueled by free or $1 drinks. I didn’t get so drunk I couldn’t walk straight, but I sure as hell couldn’t think straight. Going on such a small budget made for an interesting time and I can’t wait to go back when I have some real money to spend.

Check out some of the pictures from the trip.

finally. see you all in a few days.
