jinianSaturday: Hung out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marzipan_pig and met her friend, who turns out to be awesome. We started out at the Central District Honkfest West, where we ate cupcakes royales while listening to Yellow Hat Band and then got thoroughly rocked by Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band in an alley. (We hoped very much that no one in the apartment building next to the alley needed to sleep in the daytime for any reason.) All other performances were decidedly lesser, and I required food, so we decamped southward for an Eritrean restaurant, where they had truly excellent serving dishes but took forever to bring them because they weren't really all that open when we arrived. Then there was attempted hat shopping at the Metro, actual hat shopping at Goorin Bros, tromping around Gasworks, and (with added Wim) Fainting Goat Gelato. Fun!
Sunday: Wore my new red-print dress. Hung out withlakmiseiru at the West Seattle Honkfest West, where we watched Yellow Hat Band and then met up with one of Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band in a crosswalk. :) Well, first there was farmer's market, but the parallels are amusing. We then hung out with ENSMB for a bit, fed ourselves and a couple of them bread and cheese from the market, and got recruited to carry and sell things. Then Wim arrived despite bus badness and caught the end of the set, yay! We sold all the available CDs and several T-shirts, because the band is amazing live and we are fine merch girls. After wandering around the festival a little more, we all went to tromp around Schmitz Park, then Alki (brant), then we each ate a different tasty salmon dinner at Duke's. Unfortunately it turns out that it is very difficult to bus from Alki, so I froze my ass off and we eventually got a cab. Then we watched UHF, then Wim and I came home. Very fun!
(Sorry,rubricity, I neglected to have a photo taken of my hair in the sun yesterday. It's not quite as amazing when it's overcast like today. It's red-to-magenta mostly, with more natural red where I missed spots. On purpose, clearly, for a more interesting look.)
