tripping the light fantastic

am taking this thursday, september 30th off for a very special occasion: 

to attend the

if you haven't yet checked out Willow's blog, please do. she's an incredible poet and hostess of this annual event, which allows us all to dress up and take our favorite date to a fab venue in cyberspace where the food is delish, the wine flows freely and we all dance like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

My dates (yes, you can have more than one date!) for the night are:

James Joyce

who will explain Ulysses to me while we dance

Richard Feynman

who will explain quantum electrodynamics to me over oysters rockefeller

and 

John Fowles,

who will read to me from my all time favorite book, The Magus, while we sip ouzo over ice,

 and whom i am sharing with Robin over at The Violet Hour. We have agreed to come as the twin characters June and July from The Magus and I will be wearing a white silk gown, grecian style. naturally ;-)

stop by...... 

it should be a magical evening.
