Then we could just spend our time riding the elevator with Vortex in a corset.

I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Ha! I remember a con-goer (maybe Selina Rosen?) telling me about a con in the 80s sharing a hotel with some big Baptist gathering. A bunch of the fundamentalists gathered around the lobby piano to sing along with somoene's filk version of "Old Time Religion" until they listened closer to the lyrics and realized exactly how old-time the religions the pianist had in mind were.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Add in ND in a kilt and it'll be perfect.

I remember that elevator ride. The guy hesitating on the threshold, someone assuring him, "It's okay, we don't bite." Him stepping inside with an ingratiating grin. And as the doors slide shut, "Unless you ask nicely."
I'd like the chance to do that again. Can we actively seek a religious convention?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That was definitely an elevator ride to remember.
I heard that story years ago, Matt, but in the version I heard, it was a Larry Niven/Old Time Religion filk, which started something like this:
Give me that pro Larry Niven,
Give me that pro Larry Niven,
Give me that pro Larry Niven,
He's good enough for me.
So the Ringworld is unstable,
So the Ringwold is unstable,
It's the best that he was able,
And it's good enough for me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
somoene's filk version of "Old Time Religion"
I once sang that song on-stage as part of a group. My solo was the verse that rhymed "Aphrodite" with "see-through nightie."
And there are plenty of places near Madison where scandalizing people is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Then there's Club 5, which has, I believe, a weekly drag queen show. We also have a group of drag kings, but I'm not sure if they hang at Club 5, too, or somewhere else.
