Norwescon Sunday: Report One

posted by on March 23 at 11:31 AM

Why, yes, that is a blow-up alien with a mouth-hole for fucking, thanks for asking!

I overheard someone talking about the parties here at Norwescon. He was explaining that he doesn’t party all year and so this is his time to cut loose. I think that’s a pretty common thing: I was in the bar yesterday and someone lit somebody else’s hair on fire. Like, for a joke. And it worked: Everyone laughed. The poor waitress had to come over and spray Febreze to try to cover up the perm smell.

I went to the I.B.T. party last night—I.B.T. stands for Intergalactic Bank of Timbuktu. They go from convention to convention, auctioning off slaves. I arrived after the auction, so I only met one slave: a hot young Mormon boy who could do standing back flips. Standing back flips seemed to be his only trick, but he was really good at it, doing three or four in a row, on demand.

The costumes got a little crazier at the parties as the night went on. One well-built African-American man was wearing a leather vest and basically a leather cock-sack. His ass was free in the breeze. A man and women locked themselves in the bathroom to fuck. There were giant troughs filled with super-sweet Midori punch and Long Island Iced Teas and some sort of alcoholic grape drink.

People were hopping from party to party, including the so-called Party at the End of the Universe, across the street at a hotel with less-stringent party standards. One befanged young man was leading four female slaves across the street so that they could take part in the wet t-shirt contest. Now I understand why the convention booklet has rules for leashes: They weren’t talking about dogs.

Today is kind of an abbreviated session, which is good because my Midori hangover is threatening to melt my brain. I am about to attend a session wherein people compose an epic poem to describe this year’s Norwescon. I may not survive.

"some sort of alcoholic grape drink" -- isn't that typically referred to as "wine"?

Could also have been a "spodie" or "purple Jesus".

This conference has slowly, but steadily, through the course of these posts gone from delightfully absurd to threateningly bizarre.

I'm afraid now.

I agree with @3. At first I was reading about a gathering of a cross-section of the quirky and silly, but has since degraded into some serious maladjusts behaving badly. Lighting someone's hair on fire for fun? Who does that?

#4, indoors no less. I would have hurled. Burning hair smells *sooo* bad.

JTC @3 - I am dazzled by the brilliance of your comment.

I was at that same con (thurs-2pmish) and had fun, but I was a different fun. No hair on fire (though there was some singing about hair on fire by A Little Knight Music...)

It's pretty fucking weak when this is the best thing anyone can post in FIFTY FUCKING HOURS. You idiots are so lame I can't stand it anymore. Eat shit and die, and your stupid monkey-ass server that times out 3 out of every 4 times too.

Awww, guess Icarus is going to have to find a new group of social malcontents with which to attempt to ingratiate himself.

Hey Icarus, I hear the folks over at Live Journal Seattle are looking for new meat, you should totally check them out.

"Lighting someone's hair on fire for fun? Who does that?"

What other reasons can you think of?

Slog is slow on weekends, Icarus. Because... it's the weekend. There are, however, other blogs out there, to say nothing of other entertainment options available to you. Like... pushing back from the computer and leaving the house every once in a while.

It's so appropriate that I'm going to Roswell tomorrow.

WHERE is the picture of the HOT MORMON BOY? Without it, this post is a failure.
