We’re trying to flip that back around.” Later that day, as the Ladies drove by Hufstedler and her bandmate on their way to their next gig, members of the band shouted out the window: “Oh my god, it’s Plan B for the Type A’s!” —Staff writer Nina L.

It's very tempting for this to be a left-leaning site. Our gig is green - period. We want Republicans, Democrats, etc., all to be comfortable on the site.
