Weekend roundup

[batskeets]

Anybody doing anything Friday night? Or possibly want to get together?  My Friday night is mysteriously empty, and I'd like to change that. Also, J will be returning from a trip that night and looking to decompress, so drinks or funtime would be awesome. Maybe some karaoke?

Anyhoo, weekend update on a Wednesday, because that's how I roll:

• As previously mentioned, I bounced around at the ComicsFest with J for a couple of hours, and it was lovely, and I also ran into a dark_knightly and a moonchylde !
• Did a bit of in-studio test shooting with theamazingjosh for a couple of hours. We started later than I expected, and I don't know that we got a lot accomplished, but it was good to hold a Nikon in my hands again. Soon, my pretties, very soon...
• Went to a speed skating clinic, which was open to all levels, so that sort of limited what we could go over, but I did learn a couple of things that I'm going to try and be mindful of in my form. Faster, faster!
• Closed out my Saturday at sarapada and monkeyhole 's housewarming, where there was a most excellent housespace, tasty snacks, lovely people, and Rock Band. I am also now less confused by Pro Keys mode, although I still think the interface is kind of stupid. I actually have piano-playing skills! IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD. XD
• I had a lazy morning at the house on Sunday, ate breakfast and worked out, and then bounced over to the Bagdad for the WOJ vs. BAD bout viewing party. Due to some odd thing about a restricted number of event permits, there was a bout, but they weren't allowed to have spectators at the hangar. So, we watched a boutcast on the big screen, and it was a bit strange to be cheering for people who couldn't hear me, so I imagine it was even weirder for the players to be playing a national-level bout with nobody watching. But, it was good fun and we had a pretty packed house!
• Endurance practice was afterwards, and yeah, I love that. There's something that feels very zen-like about it, because it's all variations on a theme: namely, skating around and around the track. It's nice to just focus on working hard, rather than getting wigged out by confusing drills.
• After that was the Game of Thrones premiere hosted by phasmaphobic and veiravx , and OMJESUS IT WAS SO GREAT. So great that I even blogged about it a little. It's already been renewed for a second season, it's getting fantastic reviews, and if there was a way for them to have executed this better, I can't think of it. I'm even more excited for the next episode, if that's even possible.

Anyhoo, tonight, I'll be shilling derby tickets at Beulahland for Cheap Ticket Night. The week has been pretty nice, thus far, but I think I'd like to just fast-forward to Sunday, because if the last Coliseum bout is any indication, I'll be ready to fall over from exhaustion by the time Saturday is over.

Still, it could be worse. I'm making calzone for dinner tonight, and it's going to be delicious.

YAY! This needs to happen!

The workday has left me tired and lacking ideas for things to do, beyond, "derp... karaoke?" So, I'm totally open to suggestions.

I don't have any good suggestions, but we have time to think about it. Somehow I don't think you'd be wanting to go to the metal show I was originally thinking of. :}

Karaoke could be fun. I wonder if there would be any other good bands or dancing? I'm up for anything, really, except staying at home by myself.

METAL IS THE LAW! \m/ But, yeah, I probably wouldn't know the band you were going to see. ;)

There is dancing at Red Cap Garage, DJed by the guy who used to do Shut Up and Dance at the Fez. I was also thinking about Legend of the Fist at the Hollywood Theater, but they haven't posted the showtimes yet: http://hollywoodtheatre.org/coming-soon/legend-of-the-fist-the-return-of-chen-zhen/

It's just a local band, some coworkers of Jez's, and I had a lot of fun at their last show and was thinking of going out to support them again. But not anyone I'm a huge fan of or anything. :)

I kinda want to go booty-shakin' to something funky because it's all been goth/industrial clubs and shows for me lately. Does Lola's still have 80's night on Friday? What about Soul Stew at the Goodfoot? It's too bad that Atlas is only once per month, because that would be awesome. Does dancing even sound good to you?

I don't know many movies in that genre, so I could look it up. Definitely a possibility, if we wanted something mellower.

Obviously I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to do, but I want to do something with you! Yay!

Heh, I'm feeling pretty indecisive, myself. Dancing sounds fun right now, but who knows what I'll think by tomorrow evening. XD We could always play it by ear and see how we feel tomorrow afternoon/early-evening?
