Bil’s Party Whig Out BBQ Pie Fest

I traded a Gift Certificate to Bil Fleming for some X-Mas presents last year.  He redeemed it tonight.

At a Spiritual Marshmallow B-B-Q (with wigs) at Casa Blanca.

Jusby goes sleeveless for a hot summer night.  I know Alexandria and Dinea through Enterprise for Equity.  Mike is wearing my rainbow wig.  Maybe if it had a cut and style I would feel better about wearing it, but I need a stylist to do the job.

To my pleasant surprise, Steve Suski was in attendance.  He’s got a show of his art up at the Capitol Theater, and his show at the Minneart Center will happen in January.  He had some sad news, though.  His pet poodle, Gigi, was hit by a car and killed since the last time I’d seen him.

I envisioned the shot having the campfire in the foreground and flaming marshmallows along side of us.  Thanks to Dinea de Photo for capturing the shot on Bil’s Camera.

Amanda had asked, “Why is the pie in the face shamanic?”

I replied, “Because it is an esoteric experience.  It has to be given from one person to another.  The pie is a circle.  The pie-ing happens for the community as well.  They gather and participate in an ephemeral ritual of sudden awareness… overcoming their fears and savoring the sweetness of life… et cetera, et cetera.”

Here’s the fire and excess pie filling at least.

Then I asked David if he was ready for a pie-in-the-face.  He said, “Sure.”  He got his g/f Britney in on it, bringing my total to about 193 faces.

And after David got cleaned up he returned to give me a fat tip!

A different look: my old nose!  Trish found it in the camel bag I wore at Performance Dishwashing last year… along with the fingerless dishwashing gloves.
