Over the summer, Minor Threats learned to pluck the banjo like the poor young man from "Deliverance," strum the mandolin, and blow the harmonica. She learned to weave hemp necklaces, to contra dance, and she'll whip you up a mean hummus casserole. She skinny-dipped under the pale New England moonlight as her sensitive, long-haired lover played the saw on the sandbank. She cooked sauerkraut and drank bourbon and cut her finger opening a beer can; she was hardcore into folk. If Minor Threats could sing, she'd audition for Tangled Up In Blue.

Is DJ Casper friendly? What makes a house a home? And what are party socks? These and all other questions will be answered as Minor Threats, who is known in some circles as the eyes, ears, and sometimes "good-time" girl of Yale, steps out at the Afro-Am House on Park Street. Of course, in other circles Minor Threats is a complete unknown--a ghostwriter, a housesitter, even, methinks, a Casper groupie.

Late last night, Minor Threats was chilling with some Herald news editors when she discovered something quite suspicious:
Kristin Scott Thomas, star of Angels and Insects was in Four Weddings and a Funeral with Hugh Grant, who was in 9 Months with Robin Williams, who was in Awakenings with Robert DeNiro, who was in Heat with Ashley Judd, who was in A Time to Kill with Samuel L. Jackson, who was in Pulp Fiction with Uma Thurman, who is the star of The Truth About Cats and Dogs. Coincidence? Minor Threats thinks not.
--Princess Leigh-Cheri and Great-Aunt Hortense, whom Minor
Threats welcomes with open arms and brilliant quotes and stuff.
