Susie Bright has a great post on how to bring your favorite writer, artist, musician, etc to your home town. I love this, because it’s exactly how I feel.

To those it may concern: I am not a goddess. I know that that’s the thing to refer to women as in the Bay Area, but if anything, I’m a queen (cf. “drag,” “drama,” “big old,” and “of everything.”). Or possibly a benevolent dictator. Please adjust your settings accordingly.

Sincerely,
The Management
