An hour and a half to go before arriving at Twist with Commissioner Bower; I doubt if she is ready for the madhouse it will be. Every party monster, promoter, social climber, and moocher will be at the club's seven open bars. Owners Richard and Joel spare no expense to celebrate the anniversary and show off the yearly redesign of the place. Although it may be a great place to see the gay world in full action, it may not be so suited for a political introduction; not when she might be standing between a crowd and an open bar. Oh, well; her handlers wanted it. I'm thinking more of bringing her to The Palace for our gay pride party. We've purchased 100 rainbow flags, and I imagine a fantastic shot of the crowd, flags raised, as she stands at the railing. Remember what I said at lunch: "Win the women and the gays and the election is yours". We did it six years ago for Mayor Dermer. Alas, he turned out to be the usual scumbag, looking like a bad Las Vegas act; that's politics (or show biz).
