Keene Pumpkin Festival

Well, I see that Lorianne has already captured in fine style our meetup yesterday at the Keene Pumpkin Festival – bitch! Just kidding. As we entered the festival area, I was talking about how each of us - Lorianne, Kathleen and I - would blog the day and Lorianne said, "You can write 'Lorianne is such a bitch!'" loudly enough to startle and horrify a local older gentleman, who ushered his wife protectively out of the way of our rampaging trio. (It reminds me of my friend T who, when we get together as a group to go out someplace, likes to announce, "The LOUDS are here!") It was an auspicious start.

But Lorianne is right that we didn't get much opportunity to ogle hunks. There were a lot of awfully cute kids in costumes, imaginative pumpkin carvings, great salsa music on all the loudspeakers, and delicious smells emanating from the food stalls. Speaking of which, there was one hunka hunka burnin' love at the Elvis Pretzel stall.

I noshed on one of Elvis's own while we walked around inspecting pumpkins and we all waited for the Margarita restaurant's pager to vibrate on Lorianne's person, none more anxiously than her I can assure you. We got Lorianne all liquored up on some girlie drink, while Kathleen and I quaffed the pumpkin ale that seemed only fitting. Then, properly fortified, we wandered back out through the crowds in our rather fruitless search among the family set for the elusive hunks. No doubt they were home preparing for the evening's World Series game. In fact, I might have come at a better hunk-scoping time of day but for having a date with a full roster of, well I hate to call this scruffy bunch hunks, but they are winners and girls do love that.

However, I must tell you that there was this one gorgeous hunk that Lorianne neglects to mention, possibly because she may be sleeping with him. I didn’t want to pry, so I don’t know the sleeping arrangements. But don't buy all that I’m all alone in my too-big apartment bit.

Kathleen has not posted anything yet, but I’ll keep a watch out and link to her post, unless of course she writes something like, "Lorianne and I had fun, but that Leslee - what a bitch!"

By the way, I didn't get a lot of great photos of the event, but you can check out some nice ones that Lorianne took the day before the event here.
