I went to Menphina’s Bosom for their Valentione event. Now, this is not my favorite holiday, as I’ve said, but there were to be some performances, so I took Cinnamon for a walk through the Beds and stopped in. I left Cinnamon outside, of course. There didn’t seem to be too much trouble for her to get into in their yard.
I sat at the bar and ordered the drink special, which turned out to be something called Love Potion #9. It was sweet and tasty, and it had some rolanberries in it, so it was enjoyable, if ineffective. Love potion--ha! Maybe if you drink enough of them, you fall into bed, but probably not love. Still, the price was reasonable, and it was, as I said before, sweet.
I wore red because . . . well, that’s what I do, usually. But I didn’t consider the season, and everyone was in red as well. I did some people watching while I waited for the performers.I saw a woman who had a really cute skirt, so I decided to go over and ask her where she got it. I know, I know, this is out of character for me. Trying to remember the last time I did such a thing, actually . . . nope, it’s gone.
Anyway, her name turned out to be Tika, and she was quite pleasant to talk to. She seemed dismissive of her outfit, though I liked it quite a bit. Turns out, she was dressed as a witch at one of the costume contests I went to back during All Saints’. I didn’t recognize her out of costume. Wait . . . let me rephrase that . . . I din’t recognize her in different clothing.
We talked about a bunch of things, like injuries and recoveries, and bit about performing. It made for an interesting evening. And then the performers took the stage, and they were all quite good as well. Miss Lexy performed. She is a bit like me, in that when you talk to her after a performance, she seems to underestimate how well she did. But I remember the first time I saw her perform, which I believe was the first time she had EVER performed, and she has grown so much. I would say she should have more confidence, but I have the same issue, so who am I?
So Tika and I exchanged pearls, and maybe she and I will chat again some time. I didn’t really expect to meet a new friend, just hear some good music and have a drink, so I would have to say the evening went better than expected.
And Cinnamon was well-behaved outside, so no fines to pay either!
