Ehehehe... we'll see. I have no idea right now what my schedule is going to look like for next semester, but it's doubtful I'm going to have much time to get up there. Doing another externship (wee!), so that'll cut into my free time considerably.

But you should definitely make an effort to go with Tigerwong and Cairo, at least once, just so you can say you've been and we can compare war stories. And I'll be dying to know if the lion-mouse guy is still around several months from now.

The lion-mouse guy was this skinny, kinda nerdy-looking guy in glasses with a little bit of a paunch. His thing was that he had to dress up in what looked like a cross between an animal costume and an adult baby getup -- felt "underwear" with a floppy tail hanging off the back, paw-shaped mittens, a bonnet with floppy ears and a ruff of choppy felt, and maybe whiskers drawn on with eyeliner (the club lighting was spotty so I wasn't sure about that part). The costume was sort of like a lion (tail, mane) and sort of like a mouse (ears, paws). Then he had to dance around the club dressed like that.

The disturbing part -- well, I mean besides the rest, so the other disturbing part -- was how clearly, uh, excited he was to be doing that. To me, at least, that was what made it cross the line from comical to kinda creepy.
