Jerry's House of Ass Beating

So, Moogfest was this past weekend, and despite assorted problems (which I will not detail except in another, locked entry), I had a pretty good time. I am informed some people find con/festival reports interesting, and I needed something to write for mini_nanowrimo, so here are the awesome concerts I saw. ( For they were awesome. )

1. So lately my writing music has been Heligoland, because I am MADLY FUCKING IN LOVE with this album. The problem is that it's just a little too good, yeah? So I have to keep stopping in a middle of a paragraph to go "GOD THIS IS SUCH A FUCKING GOOD SONG, TURN THAT SHIT UP" and so forth.

And Massive Attack is going to be in ATLANTA in OCTOBER and I just found out YESTERDAY and I thought they had already done been sold out but they released MORE TICKETS this morning and asr;lktjgfwa;gihwrpgoihsad;fijdsf. WANT. Now to browbeat somebody into coming with me.

2. It has been a long time since I wrote something and thought, "This right here is a damn good story," but y'all, this story I'm writing? This right here is a damn good story.

(Does this story need a joke about Massive Attack? No. Does it have one? Yes. Whatever. Ariadne definitely listens to trip hop, and Eames... is from England. It's totally legit.)

3. I'm getting close to ready for Dragon*Con. We still have to convert arymabeth's BDUs and maybe hit up the military supply store, but that shouldn't take long. My Atlantis jacket needs a little touch up (the fucking collar has never lain right, so I will be attacking it with fabric glue) and maybe a thigh holster, but my Abby costume is more or less ready to rock (should I buy a Caf-Pow! cup? I'm not sure that I want to tote it around all day).

After much deliberation, I'm saving my Cally costume for next year. It's almost done, but it needs some work, and I'd kind of rather lose some weight before I do it (though obvs I am never going to look entirely right, because Jan Chappell is about as big around as my fucking wrist). But that just means there is room for Corset Day, which is a proud con tradition.

My life is pretty great, JSYK.
