Halloween Shenanigans!

I have to say that I LOVE the first years.  They are making the experience here much more social and fun. Especially since my 2 closest friends - Christine and Tony are in relationship and I never see them a home body I am not. It's also great to have so many MFAs in Davis. With the lack of trust exercises in the classroom, we are making up for it outside of class.

Last night was Josh Steadman's Halloween Party in Sacramento. Brett lost track of time so instead of leaving Davis at 8:30, Amy Cole and I waited for him in his driveway and a hurried and out of breath Brett jumped in the car at 9. Josh called us as we were getting on the entrance to 80 saying he was bored. The party was popping, but he didn't know anyone. He needed a little saving. The rain on the road caused me to miss our exit, so we called Josh and found our way. His apartment was cute and they had fun decorating. After looking around there were very few people that I wanted to talk to. The only guys in my age category were gay. Apparently one of them was Maria Shriver's Chief of Staff. I really should have started a conversation. Amy and I were prepped to pull out an old poll that Amy Barratt and I did at a Dad's Garage party year ago. Walk around and ask people their preferred word for male or female genitalia. I know, I know a little immature, but I'm sure it would perpetuate some good conversations.

Instead of making the rounds and getting to know new people, Brett, Josh, Tim, Amy, Anne, John Iacovelli and I left to shake our groove thing at the gay bar, Faces. I really have no idea what time it was. I only had one strong vodka drink, but I was really tipsy. We danced for a while and watched the scantily clad men dance up on the pillars. After a few hours of bumping and grinding we took a breather by the pool. It was cold and rainy and man, I was tired. The lights came on in the bar. It was 4AM and we headed back to our cars.

My feet hurt and I was exhausted. I slept until 11:30AM this morning and due to the rain, I swear I could stay in bed all day. Too bad I have to clean up for Lynne and Bill's return curtain adventure and start doing work for Voice and Movement. Miss Lonely Hearts plays tonight at a party at a farm. I wonder if the rain will keep us away.

When do I get that nap?
