And Welcome to Alice Day 2025.

For those of us who couldn't attend the private celebration at the club in Monaco this year, or in some cases were specifically reminded you were NOT invited to that overhyped and overrated south pacific international waters superyacht celebration, at lattitude ****/longitude **** (I swear, you make one little buzzed comment to a stuckup little vixen with a mink shawl and a candy necklace who for some goddamned reason is named "Peanut" about selfish traits while taking the last of the crab Rangoon and shouting in her wake as she walks off, that there's a "gray pube!" in her teeth, and suddenly you're banned from her boyfriend's stupid nautical parties forever, just because she should really be called STUCKUP CHATTY CATHY and also because he CAN'T TAKE A JOKE!

Well there is an even BETTER scene to attend than those this year, my frens. Even better.

It's called Open Chat, and it will be open sometime later today.

It will also be open Saturday sometime. Any moderation from any others with moderating abilities will be praised.

See you there. everyone. Except You, Peanut. Should have left me the last pastry in that hotel pan in '24.
