NEGLECt review
Greetings from DC.Thursday night I flew to Oakland, to Vegas, to Dallas National. Phone calls, plans, and LOTs of reading- I finished the Kushiel's series and yes, it really was a great series- I loo forward to the Imriel series.
I arrived at 6am, and caught up with other Cammies to head over to the hotel. I checked my bags and headed over to shop a bit- cough drops, cheeses, meats, fresh fruit. Changeling was an absolute blast (childling dramas, eshu, all hail the dark side), and from across the room there was Mixael- big hugs, reunited. Too long. Lots of faces that I hadn't seen in too long. Dinner with BoyKitten at Chilis. Tension building with Martyr. Elevator moments. Editing watching the Cam game go by. Mage night game. Time with Mixael. Time with Martyr, her whispers ringing in my ears. Time with her leading to odd thoughts on Killboxes.
The last of Ogre's dragons blood was opened- thank you thank you. I closed my eyes and the red of the drink filled my senses, images of Ogre swimming in my head as I raised a silent toast to the man who got me off the streets- rest in peace dear friend. I held court, getting to know Vo and making a date with him for breakfast. Walks. After time with Philiosou, I finally went to bed around 8am- having had 3 hours of sleep in 3 days, my body gave out. 10am Vo called and I told him no breakfast for me- I missed the Saturday mage game due to sleep.
Vo.
Wow, Vo is amazing. I saw him at both Changeling (playing his Eshu) and Cam/Arcarh, his deep eyes catching mine from across the room. Mi Madre is Basque, and other than her family and a friend of mine in LA, I have no other Basque in my life... but he is a gorgous almond skinned Basque man with brown-black eyes that dig deep and resonate in me. Though overly gregarious to a fault in crowds, one on one he has a heart that gives way, gives in, tells tales with his eyelashes and heavy breath. We had dinner together Saturday night, steak, pasta, fine red wine, and discussed life and desire. We're talking of doing Rubber Ball together. Polish, rubber, soft sighs and nail marks."I learned to block" he told me..."My gifts lay more in emoting"... my eyes locked with his, and leaving him drunk.
After all the parties on Saturday night and social time down in the lobby, it was good to sleep next to Vo as well. Yes, he'd make a very good travel partner, and like myself his feet kep him walking a long road. Here's to where our paths intersect, to where my feet can meet your lips once more, to a time when we can go swimming in our latex and dance under the stars. I made an offer, keep it in mind. Think on it. Darkness exposed.OMG, I can't believe that one IC envelope went for $2500 in the auction, wow.
Then the quote that rings as the ultimate Cam Con quote- "I'm sorry, I'd love to get laid but I have a date with a killbox."
It was great meeting Lucky. This stunning redhead introduced herself to me as "my biggest fan,” and by the end of the weekend we had a chance to talk, a chance to share Martyr in the smoking area, a chance to be. What a wonderful woman- kinky, mother, beauty, intellegence.
Sunday night Shameless and I went out to dinner at Uno, came back to the hotel to be social, so much of Sunday saying goodbye. Editing porn, then off with Decker, Kwei-Cee, Doc, Yellow Sign, Shameless and a woman I con't know all went out to Chronicles of Riddick. Yup- everyone except Shameless was from the West Coast. It was good to get to kick it with Decker! And Kwei-Cee, thank you for the revelation on Rodin and the Conquering armies. Then back to Shameless' home, and a ride this morning to the Subway.
This weekend was amazing.
Not for the games.
For the time I had with people.
Private parties, desire, secrets, opening hearts, reconnections, beauty.
Thank you. Everyone.
