Welcome to... The Saloon

OMG--what IS that photo from?! Knocked me sideways, for some reason...but I love the all-white costume theme a lot.

I'm sorry about that, LilyPat.

This is a shot from the memorial walk last night for those slain in the shootings here on Wednesday.

I've been at events where this troupe performed and interacted with the audience. It's surreal and beautiful.

[LilyPatToo]

Oh, not to worry--didn't knock me sideways in a bad way. Just startled me, for some reason. I'd love to see them in person, in fact, and get a closer look at the really stunning costumes. I didn't have time to make a costume for this year's BayCon and am feeling deprived...

When SAM charges me $25 to see your garage sale.



When everything you say is artspeak.



When your work is indiscernable from the recycling I took out last night.

I'll have a rum, ahab can have a double of whatever he wants.

Then another one.

Sorry about the service in here Ian, I've been out partying all weekend.

Joe, Ahab, happy Monday morning to ya!

[Project Willow]

Knowing there would be countless professionals on hand, I did not bring my camera today, and voila, here are some lovely Solstice parade pics.

If you wait a few days, Google "naked bicyclists" and you'll see plenty more, if you know what I mean.

I love my city.

For a Monday, thrrrrrreeeeeeeeee things:

On the yesterday, from a friend, "Let's hear it for all the kids who have to become their own fathers....these damn hallmark holidays leave out so many of us."

Here's to us!

A long overdue toast to Allegro, just because, and well, for everything!

I forgot the third thing.

[Allegro]

PW, many thanks! I’m not sure what “everything” is, but with nuances flying around RI, I’m sure I could catch most, and squeeze into everything, sometime, somewhere!

Would anyone like a Black Russian? I mean the drink, you sillies. It’s my all-time favorite when out on the town. Send a round to all who want, and me, too!

Black Russians for everyone! :::peels off roll of RI Saloon script::::

For the next hour, we make life good!

[Project Willow]

Ditto, and yea! And if I had the means I'd put that guitar beneath your tree.

Allegro.

all around.

[Project Willow]

Happy solstice everyone!

[Alf]

Happy worldhumanism day, you..you... humans!

[AhabsOtherLeg]

I'll have a rum, ahab can have a double of whatever he wants.

Then another one.

Double measures are nothing more than my birthright.

But thanks anyway.

A barrel of rum for Joe and the merry crew of that bare sloop they call the Hillhoist if you would barmaid - place it on my tab as arranged, and procure fresh straw for those who may weaken in drink and wish to retire.
