Shake it
Heads up: I'll be dancing at Aladdin Café this Thursday. Dancing starts around 7:30 and goes until around 9:00 or so. Also, the annual local bellydance show Cairo on the Kaw is July 24 & 25. I'll make a separate post with full information about that.

misia provides another article about the Bush regime's possible plans to "postpone" elections this year. Be afraid. Be very afraid. But fear does not mean inaction. Write letters, register to vote, and spread the word.
Since my house served as the reception site for the 2004 Campbell Conference, I had rather a busy weekend. Had a large number of guests on Friday (including Brian Aldiss, Greg Bear, Harry Harrison, Frederik Pohl, and George Zebrowski--all in my house! Squeeeee!). Of those four, Mr. Zebrowski was the only one I got a chance to talk to (and very briefly at that), but he was quite charming. In fact, the vast majority of the people at the reception were quite charming. I love hostessing. It was nice to get to chat withworldforger finally. Nothing better than sitting in a circle on the back patio with adamcrafter, mckitterick, worldforger, and M.C. (who is not on LJ), talking about...breasts! And other things. All in all, I think about 50 people showed up for the reception. And they all ate like birds! Sooooo much food & drink left over. You can tell this wasn't a college crowd. Still...authors? I expected more of them. Saturday night saw a much smaller but still quite lively group that finally got shooed home around 2 a.m.
I had the pleasure of spending Saturday morning and early afternoon withrougewench, doing some wig shopping and chatting about whoredom. Fingered fabrics at Cy Rudnick's and got some ideas about costume. I think I'll be able to use some fabrics I originally purchased for dance costumes. Good heavy upholstery weight brocades and a nice olive green for a skirt that matches all three possible fabric options for the bodices. Whee! Costuming on the cheap is a good thing since I bought two wigs--a curly one and a straight one. The straight one makes me look a lot like Aeryn Sun. I have been threatened with certain death by kijjohnson if I do not dress as Aeryn for Halloween this year. I'll just need liposuction and something to make my legs four inches longer by October.
And because my co-worker (who is back to work after a two week vacation) will not stop talking to me, it took me an hour to write this entry. Sheesh.
