First, we protest!! Then, we dance!

I partook in some grassroots activism on Friday. And, I got to play in traffic. Cool, eh? We Voxers stood out on Front St. during rush hour (yes, that's said tongue-in-cheek. Rush hour in MQT... ha!) with 4 posters, burma-shave style. No - On - Prop. 2 - Nov. 2 going each way. It was really fun, actually. There were at least 73 positive responses (e.g., honks, waves, thumbs up) and 5 or so negative responses (i.e., 'faggot') in the course of an hour and a half. Not bad, eh?

Halloween was good (not great). Friday we went to a lame party where there was too much politics, including an asshole elephant who couldn't shut his mouth from spewing ignorance, and not enough fun. So, off to the bars. It was entertaining, to see drunks in costume. Saturday we actually put in effort. I was a Vogue model, dressed in 80's revival -work boots (tongues out), hot pink tights layered under bright yellow fishnets, a black & white skirt with a sharp diagonal cut, lime green deep-V, off-shoulder top, wild silver and green and blue eye/face makeup (thanks Rach!) and a half-fro. Damn cool, I'd say! I was with a nurse, a lounge singer, an 80's prom queen, a middle school gym teacher, a rock star, and something else. What a crew... We met up with an ice princess, some witches, and other weird things. Went to several bars and parties, but nothing was particularly amazing. Stayed out until 4:30/5:30, depending on how you consider the time-change. Yow!
