Wow, driving through a snowstorm to work a Halloween event is surreal.

Tonight was the last night of Castle of the Damned, and we were slammed with people. I was lucky enough to be in the Great Hall with Paul and Melissa, so we could entertain each other with show tunes and bawdy talk in between the tour groups.

The Hall was divided into two halves; in one there was a funeral service going on, and in the other a creepy nanny and her baby carriage distracted the tour from the real scare, a fast-moving actor on a little wheely-platform. For most of the night I was the nanny (my first time in drag!), but I filled in as the Priest for a little while, and had fun eulogizing people who weren't there to defend themselves.

Everything I'm wearing still smells like fog machine fog. Either the switch got stuck on 'on', or they decided that since it was the last night they should burn through it all, but wow--the Great Hall has a ceiling maybe 40 feet high, and it was filled with fog. Filled. We were able to play 'Marco Polo'. That's a lot of fog.

Bri, you were a cheerleaderin a mini-dress. How was thisyour first time in drag?

Or does drag in this concept mean 'actually impersonating a female person'?

You've hit it on the nose! There was nothing feminine about my cheerleader persona. Well...*intentionally* feminine, anyhow. It was just my uniform, and an entertainingly drafty one.

Haha! I figured that must've been you, since I didn't see anyone else who was... heh. Shame we didn't get to witness your vocal talents :(

Remind me not to the first in a group again... The rest of the group got all the good scares, and all I had was the guide beckoning me... I couldn't decide whether to go back and join the group or follow the guide!
