My Blair Witch Project
The sorghum plants in my treebox are dying off, having served their purpose in feeding the birds and looking weird in the city. So today on my day off I thought it would be fun to take some of their stalks and make one of those spooky Blair Witch Project crosses that scared the kids in the movie. So I tied some dried stalks together and brought them out back to add some lily pond algae and water plants to it. It looks kinda greasy now, but might look spookier in a few days when the algae dies and sets.
It was a busy weekend with two sets of gays in town for a visit. Darth Jersey and his Sith adept came in to visit and check out Gaylaxicon, which turned out to be a wash. Cobban and Ray from beyond Tucson were also here to visit relatives and see the sights.
On Friday we went out to Cobalt with the Sith for some drinks and to swoon over the hot manager Dean. Saturday morning I had a neighborhood meeting to address the slumlord property at 424 Q Street, NW, owned by the notorious scam artist and slumlord Vincent Abell (scroll down to Slumlord #5 in the article). The property is across the alley from my place, and has started to receive new tenants who use the front window to get in and out. It's been vacant for some time now, and attracts garbage and the kids from down the block who like to hang out on the porch of 424 Q and litter. And everyone likes to use the alley and area under the porch for an open-air bathroom. The party never stops on Q street, but things are being done although it will take time.
Later that evening I met up with friends to attend the Miss Adams Morgan pageant in support of Miss Arizona, Bon-Bon Guacamole. While I could not stay long enough to see her talent piece, the portions of the show I did see were top-notch, and they even served Oreo cookies to people at all the tables. There was lots of fun drag but remarkably few Sarah Palins in attendance. Maybe people don't think she's that funny anymore. I don't think we'll be seeing Salsa Juarez or Charlene Hilton this Halloween as I seem to do it every other year or so. It's been a busy fall and I just don't have either of the girls in me at the moment.
Although Gaylaxicon was very underwhelming, at the pageant we did get to see two famous and hot Viper fighter pilots from Battlestar Galactica, Helo and Apollo. They both deserve a Battlestar Galactica PC for pulling off the look so well. Sorry, there is no iPhone version of this device, so you won't be able to tell everyone you got one and it broke. Can you spot the Cylon impersonator in this photo?
The fantastically cheesy 1983 sci-fi series V is set to return to ABC soon. Yaay, let's eat some guinea pigs!
Here's Scott and a friend dressed up as cowboys. Scott's 'stache is REAL! I encouraged him to keep it.
Later on we took all the visiting gay pairs out to Blowoff for some woof 'n roll, and then brunch the next morning at Trio's. After all that hosting, I was worn out:
Today I slept in and took my time.
Ok, I'm totally jealous that you got to stand between those two guys in BG pilot-wear. Damn you is lucky. And thanks for the info on the return of V. Aside from my youthful lust over Marc Singer, I loved tuning in to see what small animal they were going to eat next.
So does Cindy McCain get royalties from the return of "V"?
Mel! Cindy is going to be very, very mad at you for alerting people to the cute, yet scaly, interior she possesses.
"So does Cindy McCain get royalties from the return of "V"?"
BWHAHHAHA! Thank you, Mel! You basically hit the nail right on the head!
And Jimbo, I still think you look like you joined the Moonies' sister cult, the Starries.
Re: Cindy McCain, I had someone rip me a new on my blog for saying she looked like a velociraptor. Didn't I know what I remarkable women she is?? Yeah, right. So I went back to my post and added a line about her getting addicted to drugs she stole from her own charity.
Anywho, that Blair Witch thing scares the crap out of me. If I saw that hanging on a tree outside my house I'd totally pee myself. I commend you on your ability to create such a terrifying stick figure!
What's with the Cowboys? There are Cowboys on BG? I need to pay more attention, I guess.
You looked real cute at Miss Agam's Morgan.
Dude, those Viper pilots are smokin' HOT!
But not as adorable hot as the guy with the star on his forehead bein' all dorky for the camera!
You should have made sorghum syrup.
Mix the syrup with butter and eat in fresh bisquits. Good southern eatin.
OMG! I may have to actually watch ABC just so I can catch it.
In regards to V .. It is suppose to be a sequel to the original miniseries and ignores the one season series that aired after "The Final Battle"
I have heard from other folks that Gaylaxicon tends to be underwhelming. No "a list" sci-fi guests and they tend to move from one venue to another year after year. Also the fact it is not as well advertized as
"Farpoint", "Balticon" "Dragoncon" or "Otakon".
Plus I dont understand why there should be a "gay specific" Sci-Fi convention since SCi-fi conventions (in my experience) tend to be inclusive and welcoming to all fans. Infact the sci-fi conventions Rob & I go to there are alot of gays and gay couples.
