BeaTime, Alchemy, etc.

Prior to leaving for Alchemy, I IMed with Bea for a while, sorting out Saturday's plans, among other things--Nathan and I will meet her at her [parents'?] house before convoying up to Silver Spring to hear some good old honky-tonk, courtesy of Western Bop. :)

Driving into DC, there was ridiculous traffic heading from 95N onto 95N/495E--masses of trucks with the occasional car for good measure, for no visible reason. Fortunately, I wasn't going that way, so it only slowed me down a bit. Once at Nation, I decided that there were entirely too many people in DC for the Gala de Reagan, resulting in a 20-minute search for parking nearby--I only had enough cash to get in, not park in controlled lot and also get in.

Anyhow, encountered learath first, then teky4lf, and later pictsy, Bagel, lanikei, underfiend, anizee, lilscotchgirl, and perhaps others I've forgotten, but no cheshirrrecat. Sadness!

I also learned of Bagel's birthday party next Friday, which distressingly coincides with gothiccripple and beastinme's Midsummer Party, which I've known about a good deal longer.. boo!

Eventually, after 02, the partying started to die down, basically just the club side, and while walking to my truck I'm pretty sure I got scammed out of $2 by a woman claiming a car break-in, police assistance, half-price cab, etc., etc. Oh well.

Not a problem--some thing are definitely more important than a weekly party. (Awesome of you to help him out, too.)
