In Heavy Rotation: Norah Jones, Come Away With Me
Another Josh Gunn Moment ™, preserved in my blog for posterity and public memory.
Excerpts from email from Josh, entitled “Mardi Party,” to CMST-L, the departmental listserv, dated 12/24/03, 6:00 PM:
Dear Commies,
On behalf of the Mardi-Party Planning Committee (Lisa F., Gretchen, and Me) I would like to cordially invite y’all to the N-th Annual Spanish Town Mardi Party this Saturday, March 1st!
Please come drink with us to celebrate our impending fast, as well as Danielle and Andy’s impending, God-sanctioned buffet of naughty nuptial indulgences (I will also be selling indulgences, but you must verify you are naughty).
Gretchen has designed the most GLORIOUS FLIER, which you may print out and post on your office doors:

Actually, the flyer is “typical” Mardi Gras, I’m told, so do not open this in the sight-lines of youngsters. It is quite the sight for eyes that are far from sore.
Gretchen, Mindi, Mel, and Lisa F. are providing a keg of beer. Loretta and I will be providing free Long Island Iced Teas until the supply runs out (and there WILL BE a supply); they’ll be Gumbo and the typical munchies.
Excerpts from email from Josh, entitled “Long Islands,” mistakenly sent to CMST-L, the departmental listserv, dated 12/24/03, 6:20 PM:
