I had such a fun weekend. On Saturday I met a BLer, Fractal Genie, my girl and I went on a hike with him and it was great, lovely guy.
Then that evening my girl and I went to a mermaid festival in downtown of the small town where she lives. She dressed me up as a merman, basically I was wearing my underwear with a sea-colored sarong wrapped around my lower half, and sandals, and nothing else. I thought it might be kinda lame, but actually it was epic amounts of fun. I got a ton of compliments and me and my girl were like one of the hot couples... there was a lot of people dressed up as pirates and mermaids, and 3 separate times people came up to us and told us that we both have beautiful eyes. I got to drunk some rum with drunk in-character pirates. Met a dude on tons of psychedelics who is a regular at the place my girl works, he was intense but really a sweet guy, I had a lot of cool conversations with him.
At night there was a drag show, the first drag show ever in that town. The cops were driving by constantly, they obviously hated it but it was fun.

Then we went down the street to where a band was playing. They're called Skunk Ruckus, kind of a blend between punk and country with funny song lyrics and a super awesome lead singer with a great stage personality, it was indescribably good. We had heard around town that their drummer is the drummer of ween, but he only sometimes is, he wasn't there that night, instead it was a skinny white dude. I talked to him after and he got a huge kick out of people thinking he was the drummer of Ween.

Also, during that show my girl and I danced, felt so free. I've never seen her dance so freely, it was beautiful. We danced the whole time and it turns out some woman was videoing us with her phone and live streaming it on Facebook. Afterwards she came up to us and told us we were her favorite part of the show, that we were so beautiful and she thanked us for dancing.

It was great though, we were like acting out the lyrics of the songs in our dances (one song was called Zombie Love Song so we danced like zombies and she ended the song/dance by biting my neck and I writhed and fell to the floor and got up as a zombie. :D Also this guy dressed in a FedEx uniform was there, sitting, one of those crew cut, southern manly-looking dudes, and after the show he came up to me and he was like, wow man, that was amazing, you were really just out there not giving a fuck, dancing in a merman costume shirtless and moving your body however you wanted. I really admire that man, I couldn't do that, thanks so much. I was like, sure you can man, jujst do it, and who cares what people think? It was such a nice interaction.
