Tonight’s the night! Kaferine deNerve was just here stocking up on coolers for ice and water, since the weather promises to be a scorcher. At least we don’t have to worry about rain turning the meadow into a swamp.

I have the honor of being the handler for one of this year’s contestants, Badonna. I’ll be there in the persona of my alter ego, Flapper LaTail, and joining other former contestants for some of the between-competition entertainment. Mr. D. will be live-blogging the event; you can read contestant and judge bios, and lyrics to some of the production numbers, over at Dependable Erection.
