Meanwhile, a seven-foot-tall guy proceeded to draw a huge pink anatomically correct man on my ceiling. Within a short time, people had covered every available surface with fluorescent chalk--mantel, windowshades, windowframes, bookshelves, doorjambs--and began to look for new places to draw, such as their friends' backsides...
