puszysty at 01:20am on 01/11/2009Hi! I iz back from downtown. Not drunk, for your knowledge, since I had a grand total of 2 drinks and spent the night dancing them off. Ended up at Spill, and since they play good music to dance to, I stayed. Not nearly the zoo it was last year. And I didn't notice any one costume in particular that I saw a lot more than the others. There were a lot of Batman characters, as well as Guitar Hero type characters.
Best costumes I saw were: Colonel Sanders, the newscasters from Anchorman, Lewis and Gilbert from Revenge of the Nerds, a group of people walking around as a Chinese dragon (complete with music and everything), and my top pick- the old guy from the movie Up. I didn't get it at first, he was walking around with a cane and carrying a balloon and a small house on a stick. Then it dawned on me and I thought, "that's awesome!" Didn't manage his picture, wish I had. Overall though, the costumes at Dragon*Con were better.
While at Spill, some creepy guy in a karate outfit tried to dance a little too close. I backed off until he got the hint. Someone not so creepy dressed as Indiana Jones offered to buy me a drink, and hey, free liquor!, so I took him up on the offer. I'm always in general suspicious, especially as I'm not that good looking, and tend to stay away from guys, and my thought was "ok, who is this guy and why is he hanging by the dj booth?" Turns out the DJ was his best friend and he was a cop. Yes, a real cop, not one of the endless costume cops.
In less exciting news, I thought for a moment that I had lost my driver's license. I went to show ID at the door and the window where I keep it was empty. I knew I hadn't lost it today since my wallet hadn't even been out of my purse at that point, so I made a note to look when I got home and then freak out if I couldn't find it. I still keep my International Student ID on me, which has my birthday on it, so I was able to get in. As for my driver's license, it was in the binder I had brought to the law fair on Monday- I put it in there in case they wanted an ID for whatever reason, and had forgotten to take it out.
I left since it was getting a little packed in the bar, and I wanted to get on the road before everyone else did. Now I'm going to bed. I can't hear a damn thing, dancing a little close to the speakers.
