Well folks, THAT was a weekend.

I enjoyed every moment (almost) of my weekend, and I come back refreshed, renewed, and ready to start my Monday.

Except for the "starting my Monday" part.  Mondays actually suck more when you've just had a three day weekend where you had tons of fun.

My tons of fun (and a big part of why I went to Dallas this weekend) included the Oak Lawn Halloween Street Fair.  This is one of the coolest nights in Dallas gay nightlife, and I'm glad I got to be there.  I'm always amazed at the effort expended by people on their costumes.  There are lots of people out there that are MUCH MORE creative than myself (or have the money to hire creative people for them!)

Oh yeah.  I took pictures.  They are HERE.  Enjoy.

You will note a preponderance of drag queens, and men whose costumes seem to be designed to show off thier hot bods.  I'm not complaining, I'm just stating the fact.

My costume was a tshirt that said "We Are Not Amused." Yes, I apparently went to the fair as a Bitchy Queen.  You can imagine my disappointment when I noted lots of other people in Bitchy Queen costumes (and additudes).  Other popular costumes this year (as well as every year I've been) were Drunk Asshole, Really Drunk Asshole, Old Lesbian, Crusty Old Lesbian, and my favorite, WhathefuckisTHAT?! (There really should be an age limit on drag.  Shall we settle on the arbitrary number of 60?)

I had a great time, but I was tired, and so I didn't stay out long at all.  This thing gets so psycho crowded, you just can't move, and I get really weird in those kind of crowds, so I left before midnight, and went back to the hotel.  It was a ball.

SO:  Here are my some of my favorites:

• Most mismatched couple (hint: the guy on the left is not in costume)
• Couple that was just WRONG (please for the love of GOD don't go out like that again)
• Drunkest Drag queen. Ever. (ummm... that's not her car, and she was NOT posing for a picture)
• Okay.  This couple might me more wrong than above.
• Most effort and time expended for the least understandable costumes.
• Least effort expeded on drag, while still being presentable.
• This couple is wrong, too.
• And the best that I saw (drumroll, anyone?) HERE.

Have a great Monday!

Special thanks to my friends in Temple, Max and Kirk, for being such great hosts to me yesterday.  I left the city early so that I could have lunch with these fellers (Temple is about halfway between Dallas and New Braunfels, just off of I-35).  Lunch turned into an all day thing, but it was cool... we had some good conversation, a couple of good meals and just a generally nice time.  So, THANKS, GUYS. 

Okay, I know this was months ago, and you may never even see this comment, but Dude. Those were some fabulous costumes. Thank you for sharing.
