Tonight was the Murderboat 'everyone's belated birthday party event', but the closer it finally the more I was seeing plans for strobe lights and edible confetti. I have a severe food dye allergy and am photo-sensitive. Also, we've got an atmospheric river going on and it was supposed to pour so I'd have to wear a jack to a hot, sweaty event and going outside would be... I'll walk for 7 hours in the rain no problem but how I dress for that is not compatible with an event like this.

So I went to Night Market instead. I didn't buy much or take many pictures. After I went to Sizzle Pie and ate and did some writing. Sizzle Pies tend to gave an 80s metal/D&D aesthetic so it's good for what I am writing, and also they have the best vegan pies in town. Then I walked for a few hours and went to Schilling Cider House and ... drank and wrote. The vanilla cider was weak, but the lavender honey one was excellent. Then I walked some more. I didn't take many pictures. I've shot the Night Market before and the decor was a bit weak this time. Tho, honestly the 'cascading up-side-down umbrella' theme they did the first time I went is still the best before theme they've done. The promo images had a lot of rainbows so I want sort of hoping for more of a pride theme or some local vendors with pride shirts because I need something for next weekend. I am going to Pride this year... but that is a separate post.

One of the photo areas at Night Market this time was 'Y2K Bedroom':



Maybe someday I'll go with someone so I can do some of the photo set ups. But, meh, not really one I am sad I missed. Amusing, but not my vibe.

I need to find someone to drag out to Crush and Doug Fir. I haven't been to Doug Fir in ages and it's my favorite bar in this town. (which, to be clear, makes me a giant poser but I don't care). I pass both tonight and was like... eh, not alone and not in my rain photographer outfit.

Lavender-Honey cider sounds amazing!

It was good! More of a lavender flavor than I expected.

I like the Y2K bedroom, ha. Not that it looks anything like my room during actual Y2K, but still hits some of those nostalgic beats.

Bummer that the vanilla cider wasn't better - that sounds delicious. Though lavender honey also sounds great.

Sounds like it was a good night, and probably a better time than strobe lights and allergens.

Yeah, it was just too many things that could be ungood. It was also off in an industrial area with nothing around it and the forcast was buckets of rain. The Night Market was a safer, more familiar choice

I must say murderboat sounds like a nightmare,e ven without the, you know, murder. strobes and dye??? egh.

I bought the ticket long before event details were out and, due to restrictions, well over a year before it actually happened. I like Murderboat events and I am glad I bought a ticket so maybe they'll pull through these past few years, but this turned out to be very not for me.
