I'm not sure exactly what happened, but the big screwy dinner got
cancelled. I don't know if Uncle Bubba flaked too, but apparently
The Rubber Pig's kids were sick, bla bla. Oh well. Aunt L thinks The Pig didn't
have a big enough audience lined up, so she didn't feel like showing
up. Sweetie & I got leftover lasagne & salad stuff out of the deal, so
that's cool.

I had an excellent Vegan meal (amazing!!) & enjoyed a very thought &
emotion provoking show at the Rhizome Collective. It was awesome. I'm
all inspired to be a Woman Warrior again. Krav Maga. Womens Self
Defense. Raar!

I met a few nice people, & J.(curly hair, poly group) came for
the show but not the dinner, so we got to visit a little before the
show, and he said something very sweet about owing his confidence as
a dancer to me. apparently I introduced him to Z Helene, he took a
dance class from her, and now he goes to this thing called 'body
choir' which is like a aerobics/trance dance/dance therapy thing.
Some hippie dippie new age crap, but he feels like it's good for
him & enjoys it and 'owes it all to me'. I was flattered, but I did
tell him that the final push came from within, *He* is the one who
took the dance class & made the effort. It was very sweet, though.

Sunday, I had lunch w/Rio & we shopped & I got a new pair of dangly
earrings that went with my gypsy-renfaire look for the day, and Rio
got a cute black clutch purse with a red oriental dragon embroiedered
on it. Then we went with her husband & son to the HFS park & I
introduced them around to the people I knew. There was some
unpleasantness with the Live Oak cops. Apparently skye_ds had emailed
some city official to get permission to have the horses at the
park. Since he didn't reply, she went ahead and assumed the horses
would be allowed (I would have assumed the opposite, but oh well.)
The city functionary showed up and told her to leave, she said
'no', and then he called the police, who said something about a 'word
of mouth ordinance' which authorized them to tell her to get the
horses out of the park. She demanded an actual code or ordinance
number that she was violating, they continued to say 'word of mouth
ordinance' and she finally decided not to fight with them. So she
negotiated a compromise in which the horses were put in the trailer &
she and her men and the bird stayed in the park.

It was a totally manufactured drama and she enjoyed the attention &
whatnot, but to her credit she did not freak or cry or do any 'I'm a
high priestess' or even 'I'm a paralegal so I know the law' nonsense.
She did try to get sineater stirred up, but thank heaven he didn't go
there.

What can I say, they are always taking the animals places where they
might not be welcome. Push your luck and eventually it'll break down,
ya know?

ANYWAY, other than the stupid cop drama, the day was nice and the
park was pretty and the people were pleasant.

After Rio had a chance to say hi and bye to sineater (he was out getting
them some fast food when the cop stuff went down & he just came back
for the last of it), we took off and got ice cream.

It was a nice visit with Rio, her husband  & kiddo, anyway. He's a great kid.

Dreamt that I went wine tasting & Sisterdale/Sister Creek vineyards
needed a teacher, so I got the lady's card & was going to give it to
my mom. There was some other place I went, too, where they needed a
teacher & I was going to give the card to my mom.
