So I am trying to figure out what the deal is with this bachelor party I am going to on Friday.
Overnighter in Dungeons and Dragons attire. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? But the whole point is that the groom is all about moving a group of people in a certain direction. He writes and plays music in a local rock group. It's a band that still has that local feel, yet they have Gold and Platinum albums in other countries. How do you pull that off?
Anyway live shows are all about creating a movement in a group of people for him and that is what they are really good at. But now this bachelor party for the lead singer is an attempt at seeing what he can really get away with. The saving grace is the people who surround him- they will do it. And what's more it'll probably be more fun than a dozen, couch-surfing rockers should have.
So I will be a Cleric/Elf with a simple cloak and bring my hand-made long-bow. Bone-tipped and made from layers of African Kingwood and ewe or something. Neil Russel out of Parma, Idaho made it and it is quite a piece. Competition shooters use his stuff ...or did in the 90's when Mr. Russell tailored this bowyer's-beauty.Too bad I don't really take the time to fling arrows with it. I see why guys finally sell their red, mid-life crisis purchase after a few years of still-working-too-hard coupled with not-having-the-time for the attention it deserves.
Anyway, I can be a half-breed can't I? Let's say my mom was an elf who gave it all up to live the rest of her mortal days with a clergyman from a village faraway known as Huskershire. This marriage evidently didn't work out. (Nor did the other one since I remember playing D&D with an ex-step brother. Man we were into it- until the day we burnt about 400 bucks worth of D&D books and crap in the wood stove. This was done ceremoniously after one of our parents heard some radio show story about a kid who committed suicide because his 25th level Ranger was sliced by the flaming sword of an Ogre or something. Anyway, the half-clergyness was obviously part of the new family as well.)
Whether there are half-breeds in D&D or not, I am going to the party as a half-elf and half human cleric. Hopefully bringing a crucifix into the party will be a good reminder for everyone anyway. And the gear can be removed if we decide to go out and get some Super-G's at Sevvy.
DANG GOOD PLAN
