Anachronicity

los angeles - What do you get when you blend the devilish mind of Lisa Watson, Anisa's intense enthusiasm for all things Laura Ingalls Wilder, and a gang of willing and fun-loving co-workers? Why, you get 12 gals dressed up in full pioneer costume having cocktails at the Hotel Fig, of course! Lisa rented the frocks from a prop house fresh from a production of Oklahoma, and we all donned boots, dresses, aprons, and bonnets. Scandalously, some of us skipped the petticoats all together in the interest of remaining concious in the searing heat. Anisa was veeeery surprised to see us all there, as was the hipper-than-thou crowd at the hotel.


Hello? Is this 1871?

Time to catch my covered wagon!

Anisa says "you could have knocked me over with a feather", and several other Ma-isms, too. She sends her heartful thanks out to the DWC community - friends, volunteers, colleagues, co-workers, and co-pioneers for coming out to see her off, and for all the fun and kindnesses over her years there. DWC, you are truly missed.

Those people in the strange clothes?
No, we don't know them at all!
