Last week my sister volunteered to take Harper for an overnight visit. So she picked H up at 5 on Friday and didn't plan on bringing her back until 4pm on Saturday. A whole day kid free...what would we do?
Friday night I did something I haven't done in 2 years...watch TV after work. Typically I don't get to sit down to watch any TV until around 9 pm, so I only get about an hour in. How did I ever watch as much TV as I used to?
Then Joe and I grabbed dinner at Basi which we've been wanting to do forever, but haven't been able to get reservations because it is so small. If you live in C-bus and haven't been there, you need to go. Delish!
Saturday we went to brunch and lingered over coffee and the newspaper. Then we decided to do the one thing going on in the city that we most definitely couldn't do with our kid....
We went to Sexapalooza
Think Bridal show, but instead of booths with cake vendors and DJ's, there's booths with sex toys and accessories. Instead of a main stage with a Bridal fashion show, there's a main stage with Burlesque dancers and demo's of "sport sheets" which have velcro sections for various attachments. Instead of caterers offering samples of their menus, there are speakers and videos giving advice and suggestions for spicing up your sex life. I got a calendar signed by Mr. February, Georgio, in a suggestive male calendar. We went through the sex museum which listed some of the strangest sex laws through out the world. For example:
- Oblong, Illinois: It's punishable by law to have sex while hunting or fishing on your wedding day
- Cottonwood, Arizona: Couples having sex in a vehicle with flat wheels will be fined. The fine will be doubled if the sex occurs in the backseat.
- It's safe to make love while parked in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Police officers aren't allowed to walk up and knock on the window. Any suspicious officer who thinks that sex is taking place must drive up from behind, honk his horn three times and wait approximately two minutes before getting out of his car to investigate.
The best part of the day was debating who would be the most awkward person to run into while we were there. My vote; parents of one of my students.
Who would you be most embarrassed to run into at a sex convention?
