Austin's Pride Festival has grown by leaps and bounds, and this year it was bigger (and more spread out!) than ever! and HOT!!! OMG! Luckily, we had a great group of folks from the Krewe, and we enjoyed each others company immensely as we sold our beads to the passersby! We did quite well for an out of town event, and most of the time we were so busy hawking beads or sharing gossip that we didn't even think about the 99 degree heat! At least it wasn't humid!
Miss Ginger almost rendered Veronique Volvo mute for life on the way home! With the top down and the motorcycles roaring around her, Miss G cranked up the volume on her disco hits to hear it over the noise. At one point Veronique dropped to silence, and nothing Miss G did could get her to sing again! Even the little Swedish Navigation Man could no longer utter his timely turn-by-turn directions! "Quelle dommage!" thinks Miss G, "I've blown the speakers!" WTF- it wasn't that loud! Well, Miss G sings to herself the rest of the way home, pretty sure she can find a fuse or a breaker in the amplifier once she's off the road (Miss G is pretty handy that way!). BUT WAIT! After stopping for gas, the Little Swedish Man startles the crap out of Miss G by screaming his famous opening line: "Please proceed to the indicated route!" Apparently, stopping the engine reset whatever had become unset, and once again Veronique could serenade the freeways with the "bump-a-dump-bump" disco beat for which she is so famous! All's well that's ends well!
Thank goodness, because Miss G does NOT have time this week for car repairs!! After three packed days at the day job, Miss G has the brothers coming for Artie Gras on Friday, followed by the Krewe's New Member Social at her home on Sunday! She's taking a few days off from work at the end of the week to make some Martha Stewart magic happen, but it's going to be quite a time crunch! And she needs to get her nails done in a major way! No sandals for this girls till she find time for a trip to Little Vietnam for a pedicure!
Anyho.... here's the invite for the New Member Social on Sunday! (Snaps to Timmy for it's beautiful design!) If you're interested- or even just curious- come on by for a few drinks and some fun Krewe gossip! You'd better believe: when the Krewe gets together, fun will be had! Come see for yourself!
