My Balloon Fish Hat
Well, I doubt any of my readers were there, but if you saw Astral Projection (or rather, @$tr@L pR0j3cTi0n — a kick-ass psytrance group by any other name) at 550 Barneveld in San Francisco last night and noticed a silly guy with a balloon hat with a cute orange balloon fishy on top (thanks to the lovely Missy!), well, that was me.
Yeah, I seemed to think the hat had special powers.
I might post some more details later (if they aren’t too incriminating), but for now, Cormac has a bit of a rundown (and you might be able to pry some more embarrassingly humorous tidbits from Sylvia).
Update 11/17/04
Don’t know why I didn’t mention this before (I suppose I was saving it for a future post that I never got around to writing). But reading about how Buzz noticed iTunes being used at a Vegas nightclub reminded me that the DJs at this thing were using visualizations up on big screens (trippy visual effects for tripped out dancers, go figure), and I recognized some screens using no other than Andy O’Meara’s G-Force, and as my blog post on such continues to be one of my highest-trafficked posts (after the Bush one), and as my… um… mixed poisons gave me a heightened sense of self-importance, I assumed they found out about it from my blog. Wackiness ensued.
And yes, this was part of how I came to the conclusion that I was Neo, sent here to lead everybody to write in Tyler Cowen for President in the last election. Well, by now you know how that worked out.

BTW, it turns out I waved the balloon fishy at the wrong person. It worked when I waved it at the wife! Chocolate and peanut-butter cookies galore!
COOKIES!!!!

BWA HA HA HA!! Bow before me and my all-powerful balloon fish hat! Bow, I says! BOW!!!!!!
munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch! munch!
