Citizens of Seattle! The time has come to don your capes and skivvies and fly, nay soar, into the arms of your fellow queer adventurers at the Lumber Yard’s upcoming underwear party where the theme is "superheroes." The journey to the party is not without its obstacles, of course. There’s still a bit of a nip in the air for an underwear night, and White Center is no small trek from Seattle. But do not let a little thing like the cold weather dampen your spirits! Simply think of yourself as a superhero made of fire, burning with passion and determination to reach your destination. Just imagine the scene: the thumping bass of the music, the whirl of capes and the glint of spandex in the dim light. And, of course, the delicious cocktails and the company of your fellow queer heroes. So let us brave the cold and the suburbs, good people of Seattle. For at the end of the journey, there is a party waiting for us, and together, we shall save the night from the forces of boredom and mediocrity. And isn't that what being a superhero is all about? by Matt Baume
