    Friday, I went to Cedar Street downtown to try and find Dave--the
    Holiday Inn was unhelpful in letting me find where he was staying to
    leave a message there re: plans for that evening or Saturday a.m.
    brunch. So the door guy let me in free! *hee!* and I foun Dave. He
    was having a beer with Jerry Barker, the Mayor Pro Tem of the City of
    Whitney, who was apparently very impressed with Dave & his former
    work for the City of Houston & his current work at the private
    corporation he works for. That was nice to hear. Sweetie eventually
    parked & joined us for a few beers, and then I extracted us so that
    Sweetie could go see Mark's band at Headhunters.

    Dave & I had made brunch plans--11 am at Tien Hong. e. ended up
    not joining us, so it was just me, Dave, and Sweetie. We had good stuff.
    Dave got crab balls, which we rarely get, and tripe, which we never
    get. Sweetie was grossed out, but I tried it. Oh, Dave also got the
    green stuff, which is "chinese broccoli" I guess? Anyway, it was all
    good.

    When we were mostly done, I heard a familiar voice and at the booth
    behind me & Dave, were onyxlynxx & her friend Nancy. We introduced
    ourselves all 'round, and onyxlynxx & I firmed up plans for Monday's
    tennis, and it was nice.

    After that, Dave took off for sightseeing before going home to
    celebrate his 5 year anniversary with David! Wow!

    We went back to the house and I think Sweetie went back to sleep. I went
    running around. PO box, mall, Ulta, hither & Yon to get the last bits
    for my Extravagasm look. I found earrings, a necklace, and little
    turquoise blue cabochon dots to put on my face. They were in Hobby
    Lobby's section of rhinestones & such for ironing onto clothes. I was
    happy to find them, I had been ready to settle for actual
    rhinestones, but I wanted a more subtle look. I also found a black
    silk blouse at Ross for $15 which I decided to wear to Extravagasm.

    I checked in to Rio's room at La quinta, and then ran a bit more.
    Went home, shaved & washed up, then took my makeup & outfit back to
    the room at La Quinta. Rio got there about 7:30 and started getting
    ready, e. got there about 8, and I laced her into her strapless
    corset, and put on a tribal glitter tat on her chest just above her
    cleavage. It was gorgeous, even if I did spill a ton of black glitter
    on her, which we had to brush off.

    This is starting to run into what I posted in diaryland, so here's
    that:
    =========
    I've had the most lovely weekend. I spent Saturday shopping hither
    and yon for the last few costumey-bits for my Extravagasm look. It
    was great fun, and I didn't spend too much money. (I did, however,
    get my very first Italian charm bracelet at Claire's. I had to--I
    found a bat charm!)

    Saturday evening, punkgoddessx came up and we got ready to go. My
    friend e came over to the hotel room and we all primped & I helped e
    into her corset. Bless her heart--she was trying to put it on so the
    laces were in front. There is something fundamentally wrong with the
    universe when someone as delicious as e doesn't know enough about
    corsets because she doesn't wear them often. I am going to have to
    help her work on that...

    Extravagasm itself was fun; it was at The Parish, an upstairs club on
    Austin's 6th Street. 6th St. is the cool place for college kids and
    hipsters and whoever else to congregate on weekend nights. Think
    Bourbon Street, but much smaller & tamer. Austinites think of it as
    their Bourbon Street, though, so bless their hearts, it's a big deal
    to 'em.

    We were quite the trio: punkgoddessX was wearing matching light
    purple glitter on her eyes and lips & wearing a lovely flowing black
    blouse with ties on the sleeves, exposing lots of pretty skin. e was
    in a long straight black velvet skirt with a nice slit, a pair of
    black leather boots that came up to just below her knee, and the
    lovely black strapless corset. I added a black glitter tribal tat. to
    just above her cleavage, to accent the loveliness of both her skin &
    the cleavage. I wore a black silk blouse & long black skirt, and did
    my face in American Tribal style, with small turquoise cabochon type
    dots over my eyebrows & one on my chin, to go with my silver-and-
    turquoise earrings, necklace, bracelets & finger armor. I was
    basically dressing to show off my new jewelry. But I looked pretty
    awesome if I do say so my self. I wish I'd thought to bring my camera
    to the event itself, but I did get Sweetie to take photos when I got
    home (put them in a separate entry for the dialup challenged)

    We got to the club a bit before 9, just in time to see the first show-
    -a demonstration on mummification using cling wrap. Very
    entertaining. Kitty Kitty Bang Bang performed several times, and they
    are just adorable. (Neko, you would LOVE them.) Domina Athena's BDSM
    scene based on The Matrix was very interesting, but the guy playing
    the Neo character took a very hard beating, and my friend Lady
    Dreamtime, who is a serious Domme, had problems with the way the
    scene was handled. She said it was very unsafe. She was furious. I
    don't know enough about it to say what Domina Athena was doing wrong,
    though, so I don't know.

    We ran into several people I knew from different circles (skate
    night, Renfaire, GWNN, etc. [Chris, John & Kris from faire, Acadiana
    the fairy from skate night, Zeradite & Nemseratte {Carissa the yankee
    bitch} from Typsy Gypsys & Air coolers, Drakon & his wife from Casa
    De Luz bellydance night, Ladydreamtime & Rainking1]) and that was great fun. There
    was a guy who had done an homage to Adam Ant--the western-style long
    sleeve shirt, black leather pants with gun and ammo belt slung low on
    deliciously fit hips, boots, and 2 little braids in back. He didn't
    have the cool makeup, but he was just adorable, anyway. There were 2
    sexy fairies, (one topless) a mermaid wearing a silver tail, and mesh
    over her silver-painted breasts, lots of guys in nice black leather
    pants, one gal in a liquid latex bra, a guy in head-to toe liquid
    latex...Oh, it was just lovely.

    We ended up making friends with a local artist named Brian, who was
    quite taken with e. He is fairly young ,only 29, but very sweet and
    had a nice bod. If I'd been guessing, I probably would have put him
    at 23-25. He was tasty. And very much a sweet gentleman; at the end
    of the evening he walked us to our car. It was adorable.

    Today punkgoddessX and I had brunch at Hoover's, then went wandering
    about. We stopped at Secret Oktober, then went to South Congress and
    browsed the fun & funky vintage, antique, and oddity stores to be
    found there. We met a really interesting glass artist/photographer
    named Mike at Austin Glass Works (?) on Congress. That store is
    gorgeous--I adore dichroic glass and blown glass...*sigh* The prices
    were quite reasonable, and I learned more about how dichroic glass is
    made & have an even deeper respect & love for it. It is incredible
    stuff.

    It has been a lovely day. I have just bid punkgodessX a safe journey
    home, and here I am writing about it.

    It has been a lovely weekend. I do love having friends, meeting new
    people, spending time with people, and shopping. (not necessarily in
    that order)

    So, shopping, bondage, music, dressing up, and matchmaking.

    I think my work here is done!
    ========
    After I wrote that, [Aunt L] called & I went over to her house, got a
    bunch of handmedown clothes (mostly winterish work clothes) and
    played some 3 handed Gin with her and Father James, who is visiting
    for a few weeks. Then I came back to the house, gathered my October
    Care Package stuff, got my work stuff together, and did some laundry.
    I'm still not hungry! That was one hell of a brunch!
