Don't hassle me I'm a col-local!

Hundreds of women from all over the world are coming to Liberia for the weekend and I am ready for them. The whole country is shutting down for the Women's Colloquium 2009! These dames are getting together to discuss issues like UN Security Council Resolution 1325, building capacity and resources of government and non-governmental institutions to work for women's rights and economic empowerment, hair, and tupperware. The Colloquium will be attended by a number of prominent women like LIB's own Iron-lady and the Conan O'brienesque President of Finland Tarja Halonen. They have shipped in hundreds of vehicles for this girlie gabfest and security is super tight. They asked us not to drive unnecessarily because traffic is going to be crazy. Still, I want to yell Colloquium from a mountain top. I am just so amped. Maybe it's just because it's Friday. Does anyone know where the after-party is going to be on Saturday? Deja Vu? The Lassie Room? I didn't see one on the website. If there isn't one planned our house is right down the road. So come on over President Halonen and bring all the girls.
This really is a big deal for Liberia. Check it out at http://www.womenscolloquium.org
