TGI The Weekend
After a rough week on all fronts, I am glad to say it is now Saturday and I have managed to get 11 hours of sleep in so far. I have got to fill my weekly deficit of negative eight hours of sleep.
Last night I went down to The Belmont to meet up with Chrisy and her new beau Clay. It was a little bit of a madhouse because the ROT Rally is in town (Republic of Texas bikers turn out in full force). Also in town is the Gay Pride Fest (tonight). According to the radio, there are an estimated 200,000 people in town for these events and they are all downtown for various forms of parades and revelries. So this has created some parking/traffic/Mean Rachel swears off Austin moments. But all of this is outweighed by the exceedingly wonderful weather we have been having for several days.
Anyway, back to The Belmont. We were just going to have "a few drinks" while waiting for Clay to show up. Well, that turned into several VT's and a lemon drop shot. And of course, the Chrisy/Rach picture extravaganza.

Yeah, they got some money off of us!) we walked down to Opal Devine's where I had what appeared to be a sprout sandwich. It was almost too hard to eat so I just sort of picked at it. Aman came and met up with us where we then headed to Key Bar. Suddenly we all realized it was probably time to go home.
Tonight...drumroll...

Downtown...In A Skirt
I made a deal with M a few weeks ago that I would go downtown...in a skirt. She provides the skirt, I rock it. In a drunken state, I even signed a piece of paper agreeing to go. The timing has been off for several weeks but tonight is the night. Wish me luck.
