lauralhWednesday
Got off work early, napped for a couple hours after mega-lunch at Rascha's, then Reg got here and I forced him to watch TWO episodes of Friends and one of Sex and the City. He was worried I'd force him to do something else, apparently, so he consented. We got ready and headed out around 9pm to Consolidated Works' Heaven and Hell Ball.
It was freakin' packed. I mean, not overly crowded since it's such a huge venue, but the lines for the one unisex bathroom were terrible. And the line for the full bar, as well. Splitting heaven/hell bars up, with heaven only serving clear drinks (and wine) wasn't such a brilliant idea.
We got our picture taken for the "pass" that they gave you when you got in the door (you could be good or evil) and wandered around a little. Hit the bar then the bathroom, then went to "hell" to hear Carrie Akre. We didn't want to miss the Long Winters, though, so after she sang "Invitation" (which kicked ass) we wandered to "heaven" to hear them. I barely recognized Sean Nelson in a tux without his glasses.
Best cutest swear to god part of the evening, when Jon Auer came up on stage and proposed to his redheaded cutie in front of everyone. "He looks like Tenacious D!" I exclaimed, if Jack and Kyle had a kid.
Thursday
MERRY NEW YEAR. The Decemberists rang in the new year by counting it down and spraying champagne all over the front row. Just got a little bit on my chest (was wearing the Corset) and asked Reg to lick it off for me. He complied like a good boy. (Just previous to this, he went to the bar to get some drinks, and mentioned some girls trying to hit on him. I asked if it was ok if I killed them.)
Stuck around for a while, chilled out on bean bags at the end of a slide (which backfired when Reg volunteered to catch people, one of which had stilleto heels and hit his hand, ouchie) till we were ready to head out. Went over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xamichee's to catch the end of his party action. People actually showed up after us, too. Keen. Stayed out past 3am.
Woke up around 1:30 or so. Ordered pizza and forced Reg to watch Fireworks. Then he forced me to go to Best Buy with him, where I picked up Zoolander and he picked up the box set of Monty Python. We watched the first two discs before I felt like Passing Out. So yeah, funny thing there, I gave him two Ativan (equivalent of two Valium) at like 11:30pm, and at 9am he was still asleep. Well, it's funnier if you know him.
