Roast Report
May. 3rd, 2003 11:47 pmWent to Steer Roast last night. Got there around five, and there was no line, people were just being let in, and they were being pretty lax about the whole checking the guest list thing. (The fact aaronf was working door might have helped with that for me.) Already a good sign.
For lighting, they had a tarp with the junky new MIT logo (plif) that they covered the coals with before lighting. Then mud wrestling happened, in a new pit with lower walls (and ropes around it instead), and I watched that for a while, before going to Mary's with Kate and Schtieffun and Mikee and Susie. Came back and watched people setting up for the rest of the night.
Pretty much all the old coms and games were back, for the first time in years, and the house felt open, in a way it hadn't (there were people coming in and out most of the doors, not just the door with the wristbands). You had to actually have a wrist band (a bunch of people got up to three - red to come in, purple to drink, blue to watch porn/strippers), but there didn't seem to be any number limits or anything.
Saw bunches of people. Earned no dollar for seducing anyone. No one earned a dollar for seducing me. Sadness. Mostly avoided LustComm, as I decided I was too old. (It looked like many of the people in it were also too old, but that was a different issue entirely.) Saw more drugs around than I remember actually seeing before, not sure if that was also part of the whole "we can just go for it" attitude, or more that other things had moved upstairs to where the drugs were, rather than being in the basement.
Actually stayed in house for the whole night, 'cause I had a quiet place to retreat to when I was overwhelmed by the noise and people (thanks, ironrat). Saw many cool costumes. Quillion's was the maddest. Gotspit's was the slinkiest. Doma's was the fuzzy-dominatrix-y-est. Stayed 'til 3 or so. Got a ride home from justom, but we lost schteiffun. Still no sightings of him as of yet, although boojum says more of his stuff showed up at our place since yesterday, so he probably came by at some point.
Went by again tonight, just for a bit. Saturday was never my favorite part, too much a regular large crowded drunken party, not enough hanging out with my friends, but it was actually pretty laid back for the bit I was there. Saw more people, including stever, who hadn't been seen before. Failed to find schteiffun. Left after wandering through the fourth floor of Holman and looking out the window at the bands playing on the stage, and having mad flashbacks to when that was Donna's room and I crashed there one steer roast, and couldn't sleep at all. Now it's a hallway. Really weird.
There were other things in the last week and a half that I wanted to write about, but I'm hosed with work and game, so this will have to do for now, and maybe I'll get back to the other stuff later, and maybe I won't.
