A little somthin' somethin' before I sleep

Not much happening, but I saw "Big Fish" today, and I highly recommend it. The least dark of the Tim Burton movies, to be sure, but amazingly whimsical without being silly. I really, really loved it. I also love Ewan, oh yes. I went with some microbio friends, and we went to perkins for pie afterwards. That was pretty much my day.

Every time it comes to be tuesday, some of us joke about going to Fetish Night at one of the local bars. I suggested that, to fit in a bit better, we could go as a medium-sized group and all wear labcoats, and proclaim ourselves to have a "geek fetish." To me, this is all fun talk, because really if I had to put money on it, I'd say there are only a few people who would actually go and have a good time. Being the AVID people watcher and self-proclaimed geek fetishist (is that a word?) that I am, I'm working up courage slowly. Madison is just full of freakiness, and I'd be sad to leave regretting never seeing such an event. I also eventually want to get a little group for Rocky Horror sometime, but that also isn't for most people.

But all this led me to some websearching for proper etiquette for these sorts of events, and I ran across this site, which is great fun to peruse, and work safe. I'm not even close to being anything like goth unless you count my love of darker clothing, but I think what this lady has to say could apply to everybody, freaky and non freaky, geeky and nongeeky. So enjoy!
