Everyone will be there. Movie stars, polititians, the works. Your first thought is to climb off your bulldozer, leave the filthy rags you are wearing on and show up and make a drunken scene. You'll be dragged off by the cops, and disgrace your friends and family. Your stupid mugpiece will appear in Monday's paper and your reputation will be further sealed as les'enfant terrible', as the french say.
Our first thoughts are rarely, make that never, our best thoughts. Alright, even if you view the guest list as a rogues gallery of bloodthirsty thugs , thieves and worse, put your best foot forward. These movers and shakers, even all dolled up, are what they are, so expect no better. If the powerful are in fact that , you must use your powers of persuasion for the forces of good. This means, wear their costumes and speak their language. When you have the govenor's ear, because he is intrigued by your style, suggest in your most seductive tone that balancing the budget on the backs of the least fortunate, or gunning down children and such, might not always be the best policy.
