Tonight!

In preparation for SP's arrival I have had the Magnificent Mile strewn with rose petals and cleared of beggars; the geeks at the Apple store are preparing the velvet sofa for Sven's private showing of latest iPod technlogy; the Melrose Diner is making extra-spicy cabbage soup; and the Buddhist temple on Ashland Avenue as well as the Baha'i temple in Evanston are having additional zazen sesshuns and prayer ceremonies, that peace may reign over SP's visit to the Urbs in Horto.

And The Cell Block in Boys Town is offering its slave collars half-off at its special SP bath house extravaganza.
