Theatre Bizarre

I had an amount of fun at the Theatre Bizarre that I had formerly supposed illegal and impossible in this day and age. Actually some of it may have been illegal, but now I'm sure it's not impossible. I'll describe it in the form of a log of Steve's twitters from that night.

- Someone said there are going to a two thousand people at the party tonight. I need a better costume.

We danced to crazy music, started a "kissing booth" out of a hole in the wall, and I jabbed everyone with my pitchfork for being a witch. To explain how good this was you should probably know that after all of this, while we were trying to leave at two in the morning (not that it had even ended), A TINY, MOTORIZED SIDEWALK TRAIN DRIVEN BY AN INSANE PERSON PICKED US UP AND DELIVERED US TO A BAR. Then I fell off of a cement thing and scraped all my skin off. It was so good. I'll have no problem at all justifying the $50 ticket price next year. This thing is just amazing.

Oh, Bork! You are priceless!

I just love it because I love Bjork.

Found while looking for a second wearable sock this morning. When I win the Nobel Prize for discovering it, I'll use the prize money to buy myself some new socks.

The Sun is Gigantic and Scary

For some reason, the minimal sound they put to these videos of the sun makes the mind-bogglingly huge explosions that are taking place there seem a lot more real.

Handle Your Schwammock

I never thought I'd say anything that might even be mistaken for, "this hammock fucking rules," but that is exactly what I'm saying about this thing.

It's called the Hennessy Hammock and it pretty much looks like it beats the pants off of any one-man tent for camping in places where there are two tree-like things available. It would be perfect for bike touring or backpacking and I really want one. The most obvious advantages it has over a tent are that you don't have to find a flat spot to sleep on, you're not going to wake up with some kind of gigantic puddle seeping through the bottom, there aren't any poles, and significantly fewer crawly-type bugs will bother getting into it. Considering there are still a pretty good number of trees around, I don't see why anyone would want to set up some jackass tent instead of using this thing (besides that it sort of turns you into a food piñata for bears).

I'd probably go with the Explorer Deluxe A-sym, mainly because it wouldn't explode under the terrible strain of holding me off the ground. The "A-sym" part just means that you're not laying with your head and feet pointing directly at the supporting trees, but at an angle across the middle which makes the sleeping position a bit more flat.

That's how you get in and out of it.
