I am a happnin party. I've had it goin on here in Buffalo, New York for several decades now.
Y'see. Way back in the year 1977 there was this HUGE Blizzard here in Buffalo. They even made a board game out of it. It was on the news a lot. But the people in Buffalo wanted to show the world that they were undaunted. So they decided to have a big party to celebrate the Blizzard. It was called the Blizzard Ball and it was a big deal galla event with men in black ties and tuxedos and all of that crappity crap. And it cost a LOT of money to go to it.
So there were a bunch of activists and progressive types who felt like they wanted to have a party too. But mostly they didn't own suits and evening gowns. So they made a different party. This party was called the LIZZARD BALL. And you could dress however the hell you felt like and still go to it. And it was a lot cheaper too.
Now it is thirty years later. People still remember the Blizzard Ball, but it's a distant and fading memory. The LIZZARD BALL, on the other hand, is still going strong and it is going to be one crazy groove with all kinds of really awesome music and information on how to get hooked up with all kinds of cool progressive causes and lots of party people in the place to be (dressed in comfortable clothes).
