Me. Beautiful blue skies. Peace warrants peaceful coffee and time with your current book. Coffee warrants good conversation, and good conversation warrants pleasurable company. Boy did I score.
Not only did I find a parking spot right next to Kinsolving, Auli’i and I walked to the Spiderhouse for coffee and the dregs of a pack of cloves. Out of cloves we hit the drag for more.
Kinsolving smells the way it did seven years ago, and girls from catalogs walked in and out. I got my feng shui number: 8 white mountain star. I didn’t get to hold the albino King snake.
We absconded to the Lust Murder Box show. Stephanie’s vocals were really good. The music was great. Erik has combined electro sequences with trip-hop laced rhythms and heavy guitars. The show rocked.
Our whirlwind tour of Austin continued with a late dinner at a mexican restaurant, Curra’s. I ate a mushroom burrito, and then we drove to Thad’s. When we got there, Thad and Stacie were fleeing for the club. Inside, Alex and Leah were lounging on his bed. Auli’i and I decided to get more coffee rather than listen to them have sex. Fortunately, we got to hear round two later.
On the way back to the Spiderhouse, we went by Planet K for more cloves. Outside at Spiderhouse, it was cold. I had a breve, sat beneath wood chimes, learned about Daoism and had an absolutely amazing time.
Spiderhouse kicked us out at 2am, so we headed back to Kinsolving. I was to be loaned Neil Gaiman and initiated with Headwig and the Angry Inch (pronounced Headvig). The movie was awesome.
It was over around 5am. I took Auli’i home and headed back to Thad’s. I was so jazzed about the movie and my day that I was scarcely tired.
If, in reading this, Saturday seemed mundane, busy at most, then that is only because I am trying to restrain my enthusiasm: Auli’i rocks. Just as I was lamenting the lack of cool new people to hang with, I am inundated.
Bad ass.
Postscript
Alex: Do you have a tape to test with? All’s I have is gay porn. (Inserts tape. Young man laves a large cock.) Well. It works! (Alex exits stage right with tape in hand.)
Auli’i: That was… interesting.
