This year, I decided that I was going to de-emphasize Fiesta, and just do a few of my favorite events.  I didn't take the entire week off, either, because I'm saving my vacation time for JournalCon preparations.  I figured I could do what I wanted to do in the evenings, and just sort of cruise through the week at work, and I'd be fine.

So of course, there's a bad piece of network equipment in my building, which is randomly causing certain computers to not be able to access the Exchange server, which means that people's contact, calendars and email are unavailable to them.  This has caused me great stress, and I still don't have it resolved.

No matter, because Friday, I'm taking the day off to get my parade on!

Let's go back a bit, shall we?  When last we had our little chat, I started Fiesta off with a bang, or at least lots of glitter, and had my little show.  It was a lot of fun, and of course left me exhausted until I had to go to work on Monday.  Monday was great, with many people in the office that I'm sure have googled my name and read my site laughing uproariously when they opened my site, only to give me knowing looks the rest of the day.  Fun, fun.

Tuesday sucked because that's the day my network went south on me, and I take it personally when my network screws up.  I feel betrayed, and can't concentrate on parties (or my journal, either, apparently) so I worked late and cursed a lot.

Wednesday, it was Cornyation, and I was NOT going to miss that.  We had box seats this year, which I didn't realize until we got to the theatre, or I would have dressed better.  Lots of people I know saw me up there.  Hope my red shirt, rhinestone pin that says "I (heart) Fiesta" and myriad of beads around my neck didn't draw undue attention to myself!

Thursday, it was high time for a night out, because I just don't have enough partying to do.  I have bars to hit and bourbon to drink.

The big stuff starts on Friday.  I will wake up early and run some errands (buy some bourbon) and head over to my friend's house where we will pack coolers and get ready for the Battle of the Flowers Parade (apply sunscreen and drink.)  We will then proceed to the parade route and bake in the sun and earn our first sunburn of the year while drinking booze to stay hydrated. 

After that, we will head to the Bonham Exchange*, which is a wonderful gay disco in the shadow of the Alamo, and we will soak up their air conditioning while we dance.  We will be tuckered out and through for the day before dark.  Perhaps we'll swim tomorrow evening, don't know...

Saturday, we'll be up fairly early for um, another parade, a street fair, and then the biggest and longest parade.  I might even be IN the Saturday morning parade.

It'll be nice and relaxing to get back to work on Monday!

*The bar should be ashamed of itself.  That's the worst site for a gay bar I've ever seen.

Well! Thanks for fun!
