weekend recap

Friday: Nothing much. Didn't have the energy for Highlander, so I sat home.

Saturday: Spent the day helping [livejournal.com profile] foole and [livejournal.com profile] sassysmile move. Then I grabbed [livejournal.com profile] lorigami and [livejournal.com profile] litovka and we tried to go to see DJ Icey. The line was around the block, so we failed.

Sunday: Grabbed [livejournal.com profile] lorigami and [livejournal.com profile] litovka again. Went to Value Village. Bought lots of stuff. Potential costume items include:

1. Scrubs. Add some fake blood and I'm the demented doctor.
2. Painfully pink pants. A painfully pink shirt was also acquired later.
3. Barely fitting shiny cold womans stretch pants. I may explode out of these on the playa.
4. A sport coat in a shade of blue usually only seen in blue raspberry sno cones.
5. A stuffed baby seal (to club people with)
6. A horrific green sport jacket.
7. Vests, to be modified by Lori.
8. Pajama bottoms. They don't fit me, but Di and I decided someone in out camp needs to wear them. They are covered with Sugar Daddy's (the candy).

Next we headed up to JoAnns for fabric. Here I acquired plaid, for my demented scotsman kilt, and some blue glitter paint to cover myself with as shiny woad. Lori will be making me vests in blue fur, red fur, gold lame and a strange shiny fabric that is blue or green depending on which angle you are looking at it.

A quick phone call to [livejournal.com profile] eccyntric confirmed that we needed boas. Lots of boas.

Having spent lots of money on freaky stuff, we wandered down Buford Highway for pho and Pocky.

I realized why I love Burning Man. It's a place where my total lack of fashion sense can work for me. :)
