If you post to a blog or twitter an announcement about the party with a link to the event page today or tommorrow and then let me know about it in the comments I will enter you int a drawing for a grab bag of 3 fun prizes. I need to get a head count together for Monday so I am doing what I can to get people resgistered for the party.
Also.. I share my views on second wave feminism and the sisterhood and how this makes me feel really disinfranchised and how I feel knititing is a family of everyone… oh yeah… I read some email too…
