Halfway through and already done

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful compliments about yesterday's photos. It does a girl good to hear such praise--especially when she's suffering a Fat Day. Bleh.

Saturday I'll be at the Rock and Roll Jamboree at Knuckleheads Saloon in KC. Five bands (including locals The Rhythm Busters and Little Rachel) as well as Deke Dickerson (my all-time favorite) and Big Sandy fronting for Los Straitjackets. Plus, a car show before the doors open. This event is the reason I didn't sign up full-time for Faire this year and am working on the Angel Contract (hence the limited number of comp passes). I mean, how could I pass this up? It will be an amazing show.

Because I know I'll be up way late (and probably hung-over on Sunday), I had planned not to go to faire on Sunday, either. And I won't, at least not in Whore Mode. anerys very kindly invited me to guest spot dance at the Royal Cigar Smoker. As it's Middle Eastern weekend this weekend anyway (irony!), I won't feel too awkward walking around after Smoker in my dance get-up. I'm trying to figure out something to put on my head. I'm tired of the standard turban look. I definitely want to do something. In most dancing situations, it looks better to have more hair than I currently sport, or at least more head decoration. Unless you're wearing a very sparse, pared-down cabaret style costume, you wind up looking too unbalanced. All that jewelry and heavy adornment below the shoulders and nothing on the very top--it gives a sort of pinhead effect. I might try fiddling with mini-Yak and a couple scarves or headbands. I'm open to suggestions or ideas if you've got 'em.

Wow, do I really not want to be at work today. The freak in me wants to make a whole new costume for Sunday. I do not want to sit in the office, deal with grad student issues, and take minutes at this afternoon's meeting.
