dead-a-liciousness

Music: Be Bop Deluxe: Modern Music My boy Mirko flew into town for a weekend visit, and I'm pleased to report his debut set as DJ Mirko was a hit at last night's costume party, Dead-a-licious 2005. The original party theme was "Baby Dead-a-licious," but Party HostMost Jaimie worried that this might be too much Louisiana-style trauma for the Austinites, so we shortened the theme to "Dead-a-licious," although this didn't keep the theme at bay: Jaime was Medea, an ancient sorceress who killed everyone under the sun—including infants, who, apparently, were dismembered and made into punch. Photos of last evenings shenanigans are located here!

We're heading out for a tour of daytime Austin fun (South Congress, Waterloo, drive into the foothills), and tonight, hitting Hoover's for dinner and then Lovejoy's and Club Elysium to look at all those hot emo kids in black clothes. Then it's back to the grindstone since the big conference is coming up, and I'm still lacking any prep! AHHHHHHHHHHH!
