Went to Oak Lawn at noon yesterday, stayed for 10 hours until I came home by midnight. I wanted to go during the day so I could explore before the sun goes out, but I realized on a Friday afternoon everyone's at work and nothing interesting happens until 8PM (again). So I explored and saw that the city did double down against the threats of removing the rainbow crosswalks lol, more stuff was painted rainbow. Even the Methodist church had rainbow steps. But this was the first time I saw it, so it was probably already like that before October.

DST does affect bar culture. 8PM was quiet in bar standards in Sept-October, but since the sun goes down earlier 8-9PM was when everything started. Had 3 shots of vodka but I didn't run around the city drunk again because that's dangerous. I just drunkly ordered a burger for dinner at Jr's and it was nice how I was literally left alone. No one touched my purse or anything despite being a prime time to get robbed lol. Otterly Fierce's show in August mentioned Mustache Envy playing every 3rd Friday of the month, but they were here last night? So I stuck around for that drag show and I even participated in a game lol. I don't know if it'll show up on Facebook, but I can't post it since I'm literally In It.

So going during the day is a bust. I guess I do have to be a night lift person lol. Now I work for a few hours later this afternoon, but I don't mind. I'll pause watching LPS 2012 to see if I can watch Hazbin season 2 this week.

I'd post photos but I don't have the energy to load them from my phone onto Filegarden. I saw fat pigeons fighting over a piece of chicken when the sun was out. Do you think they knew?
