I can't say it enough, yesterday was the most fun I have had all year! So of course I had to log on and tell you all about it. I am so grateful to all the friends and Sisters who came out and helped me have such an amazing day of fun and reclaim my joy because it was all about the joy of making Mischief.
You can see lots of pics
in my facebook photo album. If you missed out, never fear, there will be plenty of other opportunities to join me in making Mischief about town! Stay tuned for future opportunities.
But in the mean time, let me just say it was an Ingalicious day! Sister Inga came over for nun-factory at my house. Despite the lack of tunes (darn technology why do you hate me this month?) we frolicked in the paint and came out looking colorful as always.
Inga loaded my wheels into her wheels and we were off to Starbucks where we met up with friends and had a fabuloso time with bubbles, coffee and tea. It was guerilla gay coffee bar fun! Thanks to those who came, I had more than just chai. I thuroughly enjoyed the fellowship with friends. Especially the surprise visit from Sister Felicity in her joyful pink and blue goodness. LOVE THE SCARF!
Of course with Felicity and Raisa joining us, I couldn't resist playing with my all time new favorite toy (thank you Sister Inga!!!!) my BUBBLE GUN! (it's almost as fun to say as it is to play with) After all, Felicity likes chasing bright shiny objects and she did have her wand to pop bubbles with, it was an irresistable moment. Thankfully none of the bubbles landed in anyone's coffee so there were no complaints, and there were plenty of bubbles of joy!
We all headed out to caravan over to ASU, but on the way we sniffed the smells of Burgers and couldn't resist stopping in for a travel break with the King. No one quite knew what to make of us, but a wonderful little lady who has been married to her spouse for 67 years came over to ask what we were all about, and we had a great conversation about the joys of marriage and how quickly the years go by when you love someone. Here I am with her and her friends.
Finally we realized we were late to our own party and headed over to ASU to meet up with some lovely folks and pass out water guns, and bubbely goodness. I had a blast, and although it was a bit harder than expected to find people who wanted to join in the water fight, I must say it was worth every moment!

As if that weren't enough fun and mischief making, I couldn't resist making the day last longer, so asked who wanted to go eat and where in the world do four Sisters, a guard, an aspirant and friends go in Tempe to get their grub on. A few suggestions along the lines of cheap gut sticking food were suggested, but when someone said PF Changs I just couldn't resist the lure of eating Chinese OUT, instead of ordering in, for the first time in six months. So the caravan of fun headed out and we decended upon PF Changs like a bright burst of bubbles falling from the heavens above. Tho some of the patrons weren't quite sure if it was heaven we were coming from, we had many wonderful interactions with people stopping by our table or waving as they made their way past our giggeling gaggle. Thankfully our server was so wonderful we had to thank the manager (and left what is hopefully a hefty tip)
And for that person who swears she "isn't a stalker, she just follows my blog religiously" let me say the day's events just wouldn't have been the same without you. I can't wait until our next adventure together. May your days be filled with the joy of mischief until then!
I blow where the wind blows,
Sister Mischief S. Merrymaker
Recently I attended a SOLD OUT play called "All of Us" Performed by QSpeak, local youth performance group. They performed on three seperate days to a packed house.
Topics touched on include spirituality, activism, homelessness, youth, self image, oppression, and HIV/AIDS.
Afterwards, they announced a project in conjunction with the Tempe Historical Museum in which local groups can participate by adding LARGE scrapbook pages to the existing books on LGBT past and present...sort of a living history which continues to grow and change. Fabulous!
