long weekend. after an equally long week.
friday, a friend of mine and i went to purgatory (where we met up with folks from our church, oddly enough). i hate to sound like a tweener, but, like, OMG, i wish i had a picture of my *stellar* outfit. the club has changed since i was there last. the girls were already stumbling out incoherent and totally trashed as we rolled in at 1AM. hell was hellish, hot, crowded and straight up skanky with the pit of hell closed. purgatory was all-tejano, all-the-time. it was crowded, hot, felt like a hotel lobby on the eve of the end of the world. and Heaven? well, we couldn't get in. maxed out. Dante would be proud.
yesterday, we took advantage free admission to the dallas zoo complimentary of councilman ed oakley and councilwoman elba garcia. um, i hate zoos. there, i said it. it's not cute or entertaining to see huge cats in cages the size of my front porch.
the poop game? now, that is cute and entertaining.
last night: a gallery hop. the lecture at and/or gallery was excellent. i thought so anyway. dirk, the speaking artist, was completely authentic about his husband/wife collaborative jodi and was able to communicate process, output, and humor in his (and his wife's) work. i skipped the angstrom opening, although i admit, i was mildly curious to go check it out. instead i headed back to the 'cliff and hit tyler street. there were no fewer than 5 little shows going on. it's nice to see how my neighborhood is looking up. here's a raised glass to la reunion being in the 'hood too.
