ANACORTES, WASHINGTON, COME ON DOWN!

Orcas Island, San Juan Island, Lopez Island, all the other islands, get on the ferry and come and join a murder of wonkers (like a murder of crows, not like this guy) for a Friday evening, Aug. 4, revelry of drinking and eating and babies and niceness! We are pretty sure this park is right next to the ferry depot, maybe! Bellingham, you guys can even take a bus! Seattle, you are probably too far, we will see you next time, unless you are CRAZY MADLY DEEPLY dying to see us, which we understand, as we are pretty and rad.

Washington Park right by the boat launch seems like a nice place for us to gather and barbecue meats and tofus (if you want tofus, you bring the tofus). Bring something to share, like something from your garden, or maybe pot! We'll have plates and utensils and condiments and meats and probably a watermelon salad, like we do. Let us say 6 to 8 p.m. but we'll definitely probably be there until at least 9 for latecomers (someone always comes late, you are a tardy lot).

OK, tell your friends and neighbors, and we will see you then unless we see you first!

Also, this is your OPEN THREAD.

Also also Shy wants me to warn you that starting sometime tonight we will be HIDING YOUR COMMENTS behind some STUPID BUTTON because Google says all our posts are too long for "news," because there are comments on the page and they're too dumb to be able to tell one from the other, Jesus, Google, pathetic. Anyway, you'll figure it out.

The Wonkette Wonkebago (as well as, you know, salaries and whatnot) is gassed up and brought to your town by READERS LIKE YOU. Kick in for gas, grass or ass, won't you please!
