Goth Picnic 2009

The Annual Goth Picnic at Oakland Cemetery was awesome. The beautiful weather made for a very long picnic this year and nearly everyone stayed til it was dark. Some people were there a bit after sundown, still cleaning up and talking with friends they'd not spent time with in a while.

In the absence of Kisa Bastet, I brought coffee this year, which was hardly touched. Previous, much colder picnic days have seen a lot of coffee and hot beverage consumption. This year, there was more wine and beer consumed - which also led to more painful Mondays this year. One housemate in particular could not rationalize how he got so drunk by the end of the day when I drove him home, where he crawled into bed and I went back out to join the Gillimonster and her inebriated hubby for dinner.

Casablanca at Piedmont Park was perfect, complete with Baton Bob marching while dressed like the hat-and-trenchcoat Humphrey Bogart from the waist up. It was an abbreviated trenchcoat. Next time we picnic at the park, I'm planning to get this and this.
