Bats Day 2006 -- Sunday, Aug. 20 - Page 8

innerSpaceman · 08-22-2006, 07:34 AM

It was the least hot Goth Day on record. Maybe because it was held a week earlier, or so I'm told.

Still too hot for black. TheatreTech (whose outfit was awesome - where are pics?) said all the heat from his body traveled downward along his rail-thin frame and got trapped in his boots, and he claimed his toes were burning.

Still, we have a way around that. We leave the park right after the 1pm photo and hang out in the Grand Cal and/or Jazz Kitchen all afternoon.

Patented coolness.

I believe I saw a couple of him in Norm's pics (holding a parasol, right?)

Yeah, but he was backlit, and you couldn't see the spectacularness of it. Ooooh, and the color (it was NOT black). He didn't get Norm's copyrighted b&w treatment (which was such a perfect effect for this event), but the incredible details of the outfit were lost in the unfortunate backlighting.

He had one of the coolest outfits of the day ... or of EVER. Certainly someone, somewhere got a better pic.

Oh, and unlike last year, the purity of the stretch room was maintained ... with no ungoth interlopers allowed.

As such, the once-year-ok spielalong was excellent. With great echos of the stretch room speech afterwards ... once at our surprisingly fantastic, last-minute fireworks spot ('natch) and later, quite surprisingly indeed, by our hysterical tram spieler at the wonderful night's conclusion.

I'd do me.

Thankies iSm.

Surprisingly, even though it was hot, I don't think I physically broke a sweat all day. My feet are still in pain as well. I should have changed into the converse that I left in the car. 'Vanity before comfort'--what's a goth to do.

I didn't take as many shots as I thought I did but I did get to try out my fireworks setting. That was fun.

Sigh.

Somwhow, lisening to early Bowie while looking at this pic is so appropriate. I always loved androgynous men.
