Weekend was good. Friday, I took it easy and worked on Burning Man gift bags for Kamp GFY. The gift bags contain fun and silly dollar store items and lots of candy. Candy counts and goes a long way. I also made glow bead necklaces with Bonne Bell lip crack hanging off them.
On Saturday, I went to the PNE with K8 & BT, and Fasty & Gia. It was my birthday wish.
First item up for conquer was the gluttonous mini donut consumption. I had been looking forward to those little ones all year.
We spotted Santa and resisted the urge to chant, "Buy more stuff!" Visited the animal barns (one of my favourites as a kid). We saw a colt who loved to be scratched furiously on the neck. Reminded me of a cat.
Lots and lots of llamas. Including the llama Dating Game and the Super Llama. I loved the peace sheep.
We also went to a Thai rave on the beach. Grabbed lunch at the Central Barbecue and sat on the lawn before the Main Stage. Saw variety of talent contest finalists, including an all girl plus 1 drummer boy band. They sang a cute and catchy song called Forever.
No PNE experience is complete without FIYB Stewie. Lots of cool, hippie and psychedelic prizes in the gamble-your-money-away midway games.
The shooting gallery got upset because we took pictures. Apparently, the camera flash sets off all the motion-sensored animated objects. No PNE day is complete without the token shoe shot.
I love the PNE, but I miss the original food pavillion, Show Mart, and the building that had the three-dimensional map of BC in it.
That evening, I went to Abel's stagette. We started out together drinking, eating and being silly. Did the usual things (wink, wink). Then we went to Celebrities. The walk up was hiliarious. We ran into a guy in drag outside the Atlantic Trap and Gill.
Lots of yahoos stopped, gawked, or honked. At Celebrities, there were 3 or 4 other stagettes. We danced, drank and laughed all night. It was such a blast and a pleasure to help her party one last weeekend before the grim reapers take her to the married world. She was dressed as a sexy red devil. (Brillant idea Sophie!)
