Thanks to the wonder of modern science we're soaring high above America. No problems at the airport, which is odd. Our bags were not overtly scanned. I always enjoy the look on TSA employees when they see a suitcase full of corsets, fetish wear, inflatable mannequins and strange copper tubes. Oh well.

Sulu is gay
Waiting for a shuttle, checking my treo to see in any indictments have been announced and I find out that George Takai just came out of the closet. Good for him.
He's 62 and was interred with his family during WWII from age 4 to age 8 but he still loves america. So why doesn't his government love him? Or rather, why wont it grant him equal rights. Back then, it was obvious. Because he was Japanese he posed a threat to the country, even though he was a citizen. Today, he poses a threat because...eh hmm. Well, he's gay. So that is reason enough for the religious nuts to have him locked up again.

TV Cream's Top 100 Toys
I was send this by a friend and once I visited the sight, I was stunned by how many of these toys I'd had or played with. Man, I was a consumer whore. And I loved it.

An exercise in stupidity
So we're off to Phoenix for a Vampire LARP convention. As we will be flying in, we need to take everything with us. Stock, sales equipment, racks, leatherwork, personal clothes etc etc. Our first headache was figuring out racks. Because stock takes up so much room, we have used up our luggage allotment with 2 huge suitcases, a medium size case and a large duffle IN ADDITION TO out two carry ons. This is just to carry a basic slection of corsets etc. But what the hell are we gonna put stock on? The answer came in the form of last years Las Vegas Fantasy Fetish Ball where we faced the same problem. Rossana thought we just took a large rack. Actually we did not. But I spent a good hour designing a portable rack before remembering that I bought 2 portable racks for just such an situation last year at this time. Problem solved, all is well...or is it?
A call to America West tells us that out bags can be no heavier than 50 lbs each. Anything over and we get raped for $50 per bag. Do you know what corsets weight? So this morning was spent carefully adjusting all the luggage. Jettisoning anything that wasn't crucial (my toiletries now consist of a tissue and a toothpick). But lacking an accurate way to measure the weight of the bags we had to drive into Oberlin to borrow the scale at the UPS store.
"But Steve, if you have a houshold scale you could have easily gotten an accurate weight by first weighing yourself and then weighing yourself with the bag, and then subtracking your weight."
My answer? "Shut the hell up, you...something something...smartass.....coulda figured that out grumble..."
Once we get back we will at last haved a little time off, but there is no rest for the wicked. I have something big in the works. I will share it with everyone next week.

I don't know if I like the idea of a dog that can look me in the eye and punch me in the jaw.

And this a day after announcing they were going to offer a more affordable health care plan. Fuckers.

Last day Ohio Ren
Cold and rainy. With little to do until the patrons have been properly liquered up I depart the booth and make my way to Parker's where the famous 'Scotch Fairy' has arrived with a dozen or so kinds of Scotch for sampling. I taste a few including one called 'Sheep Dip'.
After that it was off to The Blonde Swan hat shop where I was fed the best damn sugar cookie I have ever eaten and pink champaign. Back at the booth my minions are drinking warm spiced wine. Honestly, how can anyone be expected to work under these brutal conditions?
