The Paper-Product Proxy Program (P4) - Primer

Once upon a time I volunteer-webmonkeyed for the EMU (Electronic Music Umbrella), a community organization dedicated to the advancement of electronic music as an art form and dispelling of its anti-social hedonistic drug-related stigma. The EMU throws one flagship party a year, called Festivus--rebranded as Frolic--in an outdoor public green space, with the picnics, and the games, and the family-friendliness, and the ubs-ubs-ubs music, with the jumping and dancing.

Unfortunately in 2008 Festivus fell on July 12, which I couldn't make on account of being in Ithaca eating haggis and tossing cabers. It would have been bad form not to attend this event so I sent this paper product proxy with a friend to represent in my stead:

This evidently amused SAOM, and the stunt was extrapolated into an ongoing series, with hopefully various people being represented by paper-product proxies. The first candidate of the program: Sarah!
