Convergence

Everyone is coming to Portland. Like, as I type this. Sasquatch Weekend is almost upon us. I am in the midst of preparations, writing lists in cursive, baking cupcakes, rigging tent poles, gathering supplies. It's just like a family reunion except for far less awkward, with much better music, and no embarrassing stories about your childhood. Lauren Welch took this photo. She and I discovered the Gravel Pit last year, a dance haven. I hope it's still there. Liz calls this weekend the Black Hole of Fun. If an asteroid happened to take us all out at once, the world would be destroyed.
