New Orleans Scapefest: October 26-29, 2001

In other words, I went to the NO Scapefest in October 2001. Pics? Ayuh, I got em. Wanna know what happened? Read on ahead. Oh, yeah, click on the day to see the corresponding pics, kay? Ah, yes, and for MORE pics, see Accapella's site. She was our gracious hostess.

Friday: Plane from DFW into New Orleans... and my mom freaking out because of the terrorist attacks and stuff. She thought basically if I brought a pair of fingernail clippers on the plane I'd get arrested. Well, I didn't. Anyway, I got into the airport around 2:15, met Joyful while searching for Accapella (Many traffic jams delayed her from picking us up on time...). After we were picked up by her and Chevy, we headed back to the Bed and Breakfast to wait for more people to arrive. Once most everyone had arrived, we went to Port Of Call for dinner, then retired back to the Bed and Breakfasts for the HOT TUB! (woohoo! New rule: All scapermeets must have hot tubs, dammit.)

Saturday1 2: We're walking, we're walking... we walked around the French Quarter a bit, had Po boys, and went down Bourbon street. We went through Jackson Square where Joyful got kidnapped by Pimpkeepers but later hooked up with some escaping drag queens to get away from that insane street artist (don't ask. Really, you don't wanna know). Then we went back to the B&B to get ready for the dinner cruise and put on our costumes... the boat was cool, the food was good, and we got weird looks for being like, the only people in costume. I wore stripey green tights (bwahahaha!). Afterwards, we tried to get into Pat O'Briens where I got carded (bastard bouncer, I was 2 inches taller and prolly 70 LB heavier than him, I coulda taken him!), so Sqrrl, Joyful, and I went back to the B&B while the others went in. I saw lots of gay and drag queen ass, claimed Sqrrl as my bitch, and we got on the Bourbocam. All within the space of about 15 minutes. The Ass Grab Patrol was formed when Dawg's beer was taken hostage by us... If you go to acca's site, you can see the ransom note *cackle*. Anyway, more time in the hot tub!

Sunday: Mmrpmhhh. We're all tired, dammit. Lunch at the gumbo shop, then to the cafe du monde for beignets and coffee. See Lymey drool over pretty Asian waitress (what can I say? Asian women just do sumthin to me. Heh. No wonder people think I'm gay...) and try to get her picture. Then we went back to the B&B again, and watched TV and ate pizza. Later, more time in the hot tub! And then some people went to Pat O'Briens... however, I didn't go because I got hit by a nasty migraine, and they wouldn't have let me in anyway.

Monday (no pics): By the time I woke up, most of the people who were flying out had left. Who was left: me, acca, Mnem, Dawg, BayouCat, and Joyful... later, Joyful and I caught the shuttle back to the airport... and my ride back to DFW was basically eventless...

And that's it! Scapermeets are always good... Okay, right, so when's the next one!? C'mon! I'm jonesin for my fix, ovah heah!
