Hexxt Cannibal Thanksgiving
At long last the opportunity arose for me to attend a Hexxt event last night. Not only was I able to go but also I got to go with wyspurr and katfireblade. bigblack81 was kind enough to take one for the team and hold down the fort while the rest of us went off and had a good time. I had to sacrifice getting any sleep before work today, but Ive wanted to attend an event at the Spring4th Center since it was just an idea. So, it being a BYOB affair, we packed up a couple half empty bottles of vodka and some Red Bull and off we went.
My first impressions of the Spring4th Center were that it was a lot smaller than Id expected and it was a little hard to maneuver through anywhere there were people, but it made really good use of what space it did have. The people working the door and the mixing bar were all really nice. I cant say a single unkind thing about them. The music played by the DJ Malaria, DJ Machina, and DJ Aesthetic suited my tastes just fine, especially Aesthetic.
We didnt get there until one o clock so Im sure we missed a lot. Just as we arrived there was a short performance by three scantily clad women. Two women played cannibals while the third was their helpless (and painfully hot) victim whom they molested and ate alive. They pretended to take bites out of her flesh via applying fake blood held in their mouths. Im not one who really cares for such performance art mainly contrived to titillate but I have to give them credit for creativity. After they were done one of the cannibal girls went looking for a place to clean off the fake blood and ended up squatting on the sink in the hallway washing in it. That was a show in and of itself and far more erotic than the actual performance had been. katfireblade quite enthusiastically volunteered to wash her back and ended up helping the victim clean off as well. For being in the right place at the right time with the right amount of balls she got to paw two of the hottest girls there.
Aside from that not much was going on. Wed pretty much missed the meat of the event by getting there so late, but it was a lot of fun mingling, hanging out, and dancing. The only familiar faces I ran into were Roy and Evil Mike but most of the people there seemed pretty cool. I most remember a guy who called himself Scooby and a couple we met just before we left, Iam and Arian. These last two were especially noteworthy as they registered as kindred spirits. It was actually quite surprising to meet people who harmonize so well with our ideals and energies. Good hugs. I really hope we talk to them more in the near future.
On the downside, going into work both sick and without any sleep kicked my ass. I was well reminded of why I dont generally like going anywhere with both wyspurr and katfireblade. Either of them individually is great to hang out with, but when theyre together they drive me up the wall with their antics and I find myself wanting to pretend I dont know them. wyspurr was also in obnoxious drunk mode for about an hour at the peak of her insobriety. Again she wouldnt listen that she was drinking too much. katfireblade got so plowed she could barely walk (sometimes failing even that), though I give her a great deal of credit for enduring the car ride home without puking. All in all, though, I had a really good time and cant wait to go again.

Thanksgiving was okay. It was just wyspurr, katfireblade, the kids and I versus a whole bunch of food. It kind of sucked not having anyone to share it with outside of our household. We didnt even have the whole household with BigBlack81out of town visiting his family. wyspurr was kind of grumpy and the stuffing turned out more like bread soup than anything. Still, the food was good.
After dinner wyspurr wanted to take the kids to the lighting of the Macys Christmas tree. She was sick and I didnt feel comfortable letting her take them into a severely crowded event by herself so I went with her so that I wouldnt be stuck at home worrying sick about her. I also didnt want to be separated from my family on the one family holiday I actually like.
So I endured the crowds, the lights, the crass commercialism, the chilly winds, and the awful performers just so I could be grumpy and miserable with my family instead of grumpy and miserable alone. It was all pretty much as lame as I expected it to be but the kids had a fantastic time so I supposed it wasnt entirely bad. Then when it was all over we got to spend a half hour just trying to get out of the parking lot. Fortunately just as we pulled out of our parking space and began our long wait Brenda called and I got to talk to her.
It was good that I went. wyspurr and I needed to argue to clear the air and it brought us a lot closer together. It upset me a lot more than I realized that shed pretty much, in my eyes, hijacked Thanksgiving to do what she wanted without really considering my feelings. She knows I hate most holidays but celebrate them without fuss because she insisted after Destiny was born that our children would be traumatized without Christmas and all that jazz. The only holidays I give any fuck about whatsoever are the ones that people throw debaucherous parties for because I love debaucherous parties and Thanksgiving. I dont even know why I like Thanksgiving, but I do and its kind of important to me to spend it at home with family and loved ones. It is a celebration of the hearth and dragging the family out to what is essentially a celebration of advertising is offensive to me. Of course, I dont think I ever really effectively communicated what it meant to me until we were out there arguing about it. My bad.
All is well that ends well, I suppose. My Thanksgiving was rather disappointing but it was enlightening and in the end it did bring us closer together as a family. Stupid, nave people think that good relationships dont involve stupid arguing, anger, jealousy, or any of that stuff. The truth is that stuff is all a part of how we grow and learn and it always has its place in our lives. Sometimes in life we have to be assholes and bitches to get the bad shit out and give the good shit more space to bloom. Just as our bodies have to take shits, so too do our personalities.
I'm thankful for a great many things but the top of the list will always be my family.
