Gonna use my style, Gonna use my sidestep

A short note: Little Girl is now on Twitter. You can now see what's going on in the little city and providing fodder for my next post by tracking me there ( a scary concept?!) Twitterers large and small have been providing great insight into the DNC. My favorite Twitter post thus far comes from The New Yorker's music critic Sasha Frere-Jones. On Hillary's intro music: "What the Joe Hill is this hideous intro song for Hillary? It has old socks and a bad haircut." My sentiments exactly as I sipped shiraz and ate popcorn watching her speech on Maine PBS like it was an NC-17 film my parents were hiding from me. She should have come blazing out to some badass chic rock. Brass in Pocket by The Pretenders. Now that'd been more fitting. Because Hillary's gonna have some of your attention. (For those of you wondering, Hillary came out to Big Head and the Monster's "Blue Sky." The folks at Mother Jones didn't like it either apparently): http://www.motherjones.com/riff_blog/archives/2008/08/9417_hillary_clinton_1.html)

Also, I've been vintage-dress shopping (a tale to be told soon) because Space Gallery is hosting a Space-style Homecoming Dance, Saturday, Sept. 13th. I feel girlishly silly for how excited I am about it. I'm hoping in the Space "alternative arts" spirit, this will be a freakishly unforgettable evening. Just as I hope Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night will be unforgettable. Not so much freakish. But it's politics, so I'll take the freakish along with the unforgettable. Just as long as his intro music rocks...
