Well, CNN covered the parade at D*C, and I'm the pirate in the wide blue-and-white striped pants (called Slops). I spent the bulk of yesterday walking around as Willy Wonka again, and gave away lots of candy.
I had one nice young thing offer me an interesting time for a pixie stick, not knowing that I had about 20 giant sticks in my inside pockets. When I opened my coat, her eyes bulged and she gasped out "I don't have that kind of time!" So, I comped her the candy. Seemed better than taking up the rest of her con time, ya know?
Today is Barbossa, after I walk around enjoying not wearing an entire sofa of fabric. I'm certain the Carribean was part of an ice age in the early 1800s. There is another Barbossa here, so it'll be interesting as we stand near each other. Pirate party tonight, if you want to see me!
