to all you Mystery Ball virgins…
This is going to be my first Mystery Ball, and it should be yours too.
I was always one of those people who wondered about the MB, got excited when I heard it was coming up, and then dragged my feet on getting tickets until they were sold out. (Slacker.) Then, after the event, I heard from friends, newspapers, blogs, and all the cool kids at the park, about how frickin’ amazing it was – the costumes, the live music, the games, the food, the booze! “You should have been there!”
Not this year. I signed on early, helped plan the darn thing, and boy oh boy, am I excited to be going.
So, yes, as a committee member I am a bit biased this year in encouraging people to join me on the 25th at Headlands, but – really, honestly, this is your year to go. With all that’s happening in the world, the economy, the war… Alaska, I think we all need a good night to get into a costume, surround ourselves by incredibly talented, spirited, creative, renaissance types who have a zest for life, a passion for the arts, damn good dance moves, and who just straight out want to have a good time. Headlands is the place to get our groove back in 2008.
Now, I just have to figure out what to wear….
