i will be taking the year off, as rough as that may be... i half think i will cave in at the last minute, although the boyfriends parents are coming to tow that weekend... ack!

i will take this moment to wish a big, huge, sloppy and wet CONGRATULATIONS to miss AI YAI YAI YAI YAI and Miss Todd! they met backstage at the first Flipside pageant, Miss Flipside 2005, and they are celebrating their 3 year anniversary at Flipside this year. i lurve them. if you see them, please tell them so. be sure repeat yourself often, as i would ;)

karen / brokenbear won the sticker design contest, so i believe she will be there. a few other NYCers will should be there as well... probably a few SFers, too, although i dont know who... although i apparently recruited Miss BRC 2006 at Flipside 2005... so ya never know! ;)

i will miss you all. if some brave soul would like to host the event in my absence, please drop me a line. i have some tips and tricks i can send you, and i can help with the planning. thanks!
