Tonight I’ll be taking off for Potlatch, where there will be a party and I will crash it like a zeppelin full of Zippos. If you’re there, please take pity on me; come up and say hello. I only know a very small handful of the locals on sight, so I sort of feel like the new kid in school, sauntering into the cafeteria with my skirt tucked into the back of my pantyhose. Help a sistah out here.

I look like this.*
(But tonight, I think I’ll throw in my contacts. So. Like. Feel special.)
