Then on to the next one, and so on until they get to their regular "local", where their festivities shall begin - or to the regular local of a similar club, where they will put in a guest appearance (i.e. play music and drink beer).
And so on until Ash Wednesday... The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
