Ms. Bat’s Musings- Thursday 3/24/11- The Great Catch Up

Greetings to all our friends and neighbors out in the vastness of blog land. It has been quite a while since the last update to Tales to Astonish. Much has happened since last post, and since time is of the essence, let us begin!

          Mr. Bat is working studiously on his Bachelor’s degree in Strategic Marketing. Media Law seems to be the devilish thorn in his proverbial side. Spring semester is almost completed and the Starbase crew is anxiously looking forward to the lazy days of summer. Still before we can get on with the summertime fun, Spring Break had to come and pass.

          Spring Break was a fantastic time to see our friends and family. Ms Bat convinced Mr. Bat to drive down to the Texas coast to see her mother and some friends. The weather was divine, and despite a short stint with hallucinating, it appears fun was had by all! The short trip with a long drive left Ms. Bat longing for a longer vacation.

          Our courageous adventurers made it back to T-town just in time for St. Paddy’s day festivities. Ms. Bat dressed up in 80’s appropriate attire and sprayed herself down with over a half can of glitter spray. With green attire and a desire to have some fun, the crew started the nights entertainment at Oswego Substation with the crews own Tenacious B. Joining in the festivities all the way from Green Base in OKC sector was Melisande! Add in the Froggy Frogg and J-Dog to the roster, there was some excellent fun to be had. MnD joined the crew, with antennae on for some out of these world celebrations!

          Potatoes were the main course of nourishment in preparation for the drinks scheduled to be drank. All the leftover potatoes would later make for a large portion of group entertainment.

          First stop for our adventurers, McNellies. The crowd was so thick, it was standing room only. Alas LaFour’s reared his ugly head and attempted to waylay members of this fine celebratory crew. With a few quick moves, the crew was free to move onto the next hot spot.

          Second stop was Arnie’s, where T-town native band Larkin, was playing their Celtic-punk-folk music with a fantastic beat. Starbase’s Froggy Frogg was happy to drink and sing along with Larkin as they sang the Irish drinking songs he loves. Alas, the seating was little to be desired, so the rest of the group wandered off to see what else was out there in downtown for St. Paddy’s.

          While wandering the downtown Tulsa zone, those leftover potatoes came into play. Little foil wrapped balls were deposited randomly around as the adventurers wandered the T-town zone. Finding new spots proved most entertaining.

          Ms. Bat had planned to drink but for various reasons, did not. Thus at just past midnight she received several text messages with pictures of gerbils. Being somewhat exhausted from a recent trip back to T-town sector from Texas, the initial meaning was lost on her until Mr. Bat pulled out the most gorgeous diamond ring and officially asked Ms. Bat to be his wife. Her answer was, “Yes! Ever and Always, YES! ”

          And so folks, that catches you up on Mr. Bat and his Awesome Friends for the moment. Check in again soon for more wonderful stories!
