iridium | PSA upcoming

from the Haus list, for people-in-boston:
the Bazaar Bizarre, whose website hurts my eyes but it looks possibly interesting nonetheless.

local:
"High Water Radio", a show from the SF Pickle Circus.

also perhaps the Dickens Fair, and definitely One Last Party at Pele's Pirate Pussy Palace.
(i do, in fact, find it weird that googling for a friend's house gets me something like five or six links to announcements about this party. given the house, i have a feeling it's going to be huge and thoroughly insane. i'm looking forward to it.)

is there anything that i'm forgetting?

edit: yes, there is.
for anyone in LA over new year's, Rosin Coven (whose top hats i covet enormously) is performing at something called Cirk-O-Six, at the Los Angeles Theater.

they're also playing the Sixth Annual Edwardian Ball: The Gilded Bat on January 21st, at the Great American Music Hall, which will be a gorgeous venue for that event. unfortunately, i think that's also the day that megan and i were planning to have our next party...argh! might have to reschedule.

It's always fun when you start playing with google images.

Is the house named for the volcano or the soccer player or is/was there a resident named pele?

it's named for the volcano-goddess, plus, well, pirates, and there were six or seven cats living there when they moved in (and mostly women residents), and then 'palace' completes the alliteration.

Is that the house Clare was living in when I visited? ANd how is it you've been there 2 years and I've only visited once?
The party ad made it sound like the house is being torn down for condos or something? Sadly, it seems like maybe you ultimately have to own your home to make a place like that permanently sustainable, and being interesting people doesn't, in itself, make the downpayment on a house. In fact, the two are often at odds.

yep, i think so.

ANd how is it you've been there 2 years and I've only visited once?

i don't know. 'specially now that i live in a lovely house that is entirely lacking in rats.

the party ad made it sound like the house is being torn down for condos or something?

yeah, it probably will be bulldozed in the next year or so, if not much sooner.

in-deed.
one day i'd like to own my own house, and land, and do all kinds of crazy neat shit to it.
one day, one day...

I blame it largely on the job. And also on you coming through Atlanta last summer.

It certainly weren't the Mortimers keeping me away. ::smile::

RE interesting house, etc: Not to take anything away from my parents and, especially, how hard they've worked to get there, but it saddens me to know that I'll probably never be in the sort of position they're in to so fully be able to afford most of what they enjoy doing.

Ah well. Im sure I'll get by.

that's good to know. though you weren't around for the worst of it. *shudder*
and yeah, work's been keeping you pretty continually busy,

*nod* understood. :/
but...yeah. as long as you can get by, you'll be ok. and you should still be able to afford a bike or two, i'd think. :)

(the last google-image link, for 'Palace', is actually a picture of the house. there's a big garage door in back to where skyler (in the picture) has her accordion shop, and a huge grinning mouth painted over the entire garage door and part of the back wall.)

Oh, I need to remember the Edwardian Ball this year.

Pirate pussy palace is such a great image. I'm imagining kittens with little eyepatches and cutlasses. Yarrrr!

the Edwardian Ball looks like it's actually going to have ballroom dancing this time, which is even more your sort of thing, i think. :)

re: PPP -- *laugh* well, most of the cats aren't all that pirate-y, but Onion (one of the dogs) definitely is. a ragtag fierce little animal.

oh no, not the one-eyed pirate chihuahua again!

What are you talking about? [Everybody loves || Nobody expects] the Pirate Dog!

I had never contemplated his breed. "Pirate" was enough for me. But, now that it's brought to my attention-- and he certainly looks chihuahua-- I think it's a little bit funnier that way.

how many times have i seen the Pirate Dog, now? *lots*!
(well, maybe three. or four.)

oh, yeah. definitely more ridiculous as a chihuahua.

I'd love to do the Dickens fair- this weekend is the last one, isn't it? Let me know if you're heading that way!

i will. no solid plans as of yet, though, and i know i'm going to the party on friday night.
