Clubbing

Went to Crypt at the Toast Lounge in Somerville tonight, by myself as nobody else was free, and it was pretty damn awesome. A little more goth than I was expecting, both in terms of people and music, but it meant I didn't get hit on by sketchy old men. It was also a lot smaller than I expected - maybe thirty people at it's busiest, and never more than ten or so on the dance floor at once. Everybody was really nice - the manager introduced himself (and, uh, paid fifty cents of my cover, because I really really thought I had more change than I did), and introduced me to some other people.

The playlist started out a little too goth for my liking (it's okay to listen to, but not so much for the dancing), but around midnight it took a wonderful synthpop turn. Particularly when the DJ played 'Fearless', because oh god do I love that song. Favorite VNV Nation song, and kind of my personal anthem, in so much as I have one. So yeah, I think I'll go back again next time I'm in the area.

Boston (Well, Sort of)

My dad and I went into Cambridge today to so some shopping and have lunch. My big quest was to get a new Tatsumi suit at Keezer's, but that ended up not happening. We did, however, find an vintage bomber jacket that fit me perfectly, but was unfortunately way too beat up for the price they were asking. Remembering that I sort of needed one for Leon, we set off on a bit of a quest through the various thrift stores. No success on the jacket, but the Garment District had a bunch of the navy blue tactical pants I needed, for $20 less than the cheapest online place, so I bought the smallest pair they had, which is maybe a touch too big (as in I'm right on the border between small and medium, and these are mediums).

My inner perfectionist is screaming that it'll look terrible and everybody will be able to notice, etc, but the more rational part of me points out that twenty bucks is twenty bucks, it's not that obvious, and if I really feel like I should, I can take them in along the inside of the leg an inch or two. Cosplayers: taking perfectionism to a whole new level.
