Hmmm, ok, I gotta admit: though I may have felt like absolute crap on sunday and monday: Saturday night was totally worth it!!
Saturday was the third time going to Nuit Blanche, but this time we had a bit of a twist: we all did the Zombies in Condoland exhibit in College Park. Spent friday doing makup tests and playing with Tiff's massive bloody SUITCASE of makeup. (and no, that is NOT an exageration) Then spent a few hours before we left making me, kat and beej resemble slightly rotted corpses. Will post photo's when I get the camera back from Kat, but Kat was in full Zombie Fashion Line regalia, Beej was in one of her dresses with my top hat and tails to finish it all off, and I went as gypsy/vodoun queen. No, really, got declared queen of the zombies. When you are doing a Zombie walk, surrounded by hundreds of other rotting corpses, and THEY'RE all shying away in fear? Freaking awesome. I love my contacts.
Wandered about a few other exhibits after that, interesting stuff, but nothing really outstanding. A few sculptures, some interactive stuff, a Japanese-style wish tree, but nothing else terribly special. Unfortunately we couldn't find the exhibit that Tiff was doing, despite wandering around the West end of Queen street for half an hour. Finally we just gave up and headed off to the cameron house to see Mon and her bandmates from Hayley Stark play a set. Have never actually heard them play, very good, although definitely not what I was expecting from Mon. She does have an amazing voice though.
Me and Beej headed home after that to crash, spent all of Sunday and Monday bumming about watching cheesy cartoons and trying to ignore my aching head.
Blah.
Dad stole my car this morning, he's taking it up to Woodstock to have uncle Terry take a look at it for me as it's been making some.... interesting noises recently. He seemed rather less than pleased about having to suffer the indignity of having to drive my itty-bitty little car. And in the mean time, I get to suffer the indignity of having to drive the Alkesh covered in math bumper stickers.
Fun.
Hmmm, Tiffany has just reported in that apparently they're making a sequal to 300, with Miller writing. Much as I adored that movie, this can only end badly.
Bah, back to work. In the meantime though: here are a few photos others took of saturday:
That's Kat in the front in the stripeys
Me in full Zombie priestess/gypsy regalia, not the best photo, but you can see all the makeup work I did
Zombie high school skank
The biker? with the long hair? was fucking FRIGHTENING!
