Autodrone at New Year’s Eve 2008 XXX-Travaganza!

This was my first time seeing, hearing, smelling Autodrone. Yet, there was something about lead singer Katherine Kennedy that struck me familiar. As she was singing and throughout the night I had visions—I shit you not—of her with a bloody forehead. It didn't make sense and I started to wonder if the visions were of her or if she reminded me of somebody else. I asked Arsen and he said he also recognized her from my pictures but that didn't help me place where I saw her before or why she's going into stigmata in my mind.

Later that night I see Katherine sitting by the stage, I think she was people watching, and then it suddenly made sense where I'd seen her before.

"SARAH PALIN!"

I shouted at her above the constant "ommp-tsss-ommp-tsss-oomp-tss" in in the background. She shook her head and facepalmed then yelled back, and I’m paraphrasing here:

"OH GOD, I GET THAT CONSTANTLY."

I paused then shouted, still paraphrasing because I don't even remember my own exact words:

"NO. I MEAN, DIDN'T YOU COME TO THE TRASH! HALLOWE'EN PARTY DRESSED AS AN ASSASSINATED SARAH PALIN?"

Now it was Katherine's turn to pause. Then she smiled at me; I guess she felt relieved that I had a proper reason for calling her Sarah Palin.

"YOU'RE RIGHT, I DID DRESS UP AS HER!"

"THANK GOD, FOR A MINUTE THERE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY."

So then I told her about my bloody stigmata visions and we laughed and laughed. Yeah, I haven't posted those Hallowe'en photos yet but I'm going to try and post everything this month. It's not like I'm holding out on you guys or anything I just have poor time management.

I think Arsen remembers Katherine because I showed him the Hallowe'en photos when he came over my house. Either that or he's psychic, doesn't know it, and confuses other people's thoughts for his own memories. It wouldn't surprise me, we often have moments when we'll blurt out the same nonsensical idea. Now that I think about it he must have seen the photos. Compared to what we usually conjure up, Katherine Kennedy dressed up as an assassinated Sarah Palin with a bloody stigmata forehead seems downright ordinary.

Please don't take offense, Katherine, it says more about us than it says about you.
