February Update
February 1-29, 2012
Weather
Well, it is February, but thankfully since Cambion has the decency to be on the southern west coast, you don't have to worry about dicking with ten feet of snow (I'm looking at you, Vermont) and instead get plenty of gray skies and rainy, sometimes mushy snowy drizzle, but nothing to really shit your pants over. Hooray! There are some good days, the best of which being, coincidentally, on February 14. I smell a Valentine's day picnic! Or at least drunk anti-valentine's day sex against the outside wall of a bar. Yeah, you heard me.
Events
2 - Groundhog's day. No shadow! No time warp either, though I will gladly say that Bill Murray is and always has been a badass. There is no big celebration in town, though, because I'm pretty sure no one outside of Punxsutawney, PA really gives a shit about any of that, though that night there will be a murdered were-groundhog found in the woods near the dog park. WHO KNEW THOSE EXISTED? Anyway, the were will appear to have been killed by an arrow straight through the head while they were still in human form. Enforcers, I'm looking at you.
14 - Valentine's day. The weather is ripe, the sales of lubricants are high, and every bar on the strip is running a special for all you lonely kids out there. All you taken kids make sure you call early for reservations at the restaurant/eatery/date place of your choice, as it's no doubt going to be packed. Cambion is a city of gorgeous people, you forget. The biggest news about Valentine's day is the report of a series of attempted assaults by a cab driver on young human ladies he picked up outside of various establishments while they were alone under the pretense of giving them a taxi ride. No one at the cab company fits the description given by all the girls that managed to somehow fight him off, and until further notice the ladies of Cambion are advised against traveling by cab on their own.
21- Fat Tuesday and the launch of Mardi Gras, which will go on all week long in a street-festival type fashion to rival that of the traditional New Orleans shindig. There will be parades, another drag show, a merry go round for the kiddies, and super lax public drinking laws, though with the recent assaults on young women, the streets will be thick with police and plainclothes SWL enforcers. The week will predictably bring with it many police reports of vampire attacks, robberies, and assaults, on both residents and the tourists that will be flocking in in droves, but nothing noteworthy, and best of all, no murders. Happy February!
