Hey, kids! Just a note to let you know that for the better part of the next two weeks, I’ll be away, galavanting around another continent. The illustrious John Banks will be moderating, and the usual gang of idiots will be blogging.
Assuming I do not cause an international incident, I’ll be back around April 7. In the meantime, be good, unless it’s appropriate to be bad. Smooches.
This article appears in Mar 22-28, 2007.

Whyda have to go spell it “galavanting” instead of more normal “gallivanting” Placate Banks?

If you meet those Chinese backstreet boys, PLEASE get their autographs for me. Have a great time.
