Do y’all have ANY idea where I’ll be Saturday night?

I’ll give you a hint, quoth the Raven.

“Animal House” and Otis Day & The Knights - a screening of the classic John Belushi movie and a rare live performance by Otis Day. 18 and older, toga encouraged. Movie: 7:30pm, Otis: 9:30pm. $35-$55. Advance tickets are $10 off and available at Toyon Books, The Bear Republic, and Last Record Store. At the Raven Theater, 115 North St., Healdsburg. 578-5527. Tickets and info at http://www.raventheater.org.

Oh, yeah. That’s right, baby. I have two more pieces of information that might clue you into how much fun we expect to have:

1. We’re going with the man who inspired the character “Otter” in Animal House. And yes, the story about the dean’s wife is true.
2. Phil is an honorary Delta. Code name: Cossack (for his chef’s hat).

Some of you may be too young to remember the Deltas, or too cultured, but I gotta tell ya, I was damned impressed and overjoyed to meet this wonderful man and his wife and child. Phil used to be drinking buddies with this lovely lady, and now look at them. Legends. Or at least we all thought er were that night we stayed up till three singing Karaoke at their mountain vineyard.

Wow—I just heard that the man who wrote the film, Chris Miller, will be there. I asked Phil if we had a room, and he replied that it’s bad luck to get a hotel room before a toga party. And, oh no, I am reading that only prostitutes and women of ill repute wore togas. Wonder what the difference was? The prostitutes were savvy enough to charge? Haaaaaaaaaa.

Wait—did they have pockets?

Pray for me.
