Announcement: Wallace Stevens Wants You to Dress Up for Him

I have decided to dedicate the entire month of October to throwing an internet birthday party for Wallace Stevens, because I am lame, and because I find it unfair that once you are dead people generally stop throwing parties for you--especially parties where everyone dresses up and plays erotic games. You send me pictures of yourself--or your cats, dogs, babies, cronies, and crony babies--dressed as lines of his poetry, and I post them to the birthday blog. On the birthday blog itself, I have listed as my interests Wallace Stevens; Wallace Stevens wearing a paper party hat; Wallace Stevens blowing noisemakers until he faints; Wallace Stevens pinning the tail on my donkey. I have an idea that my long-time readers are interested in these things as well, so get your asses over there.
