I'm late! I'm late! For some very important blogs!

Cafe Society gets in the DNC mood with some naughty cupcakes. Yummy. Meanwhile, The Cat's Pajamas touts a Belleville fall fashion preview and a sale at Frolic boutique, and readies viewers for Shear Genius' final cut. Which I've heard is always the deepest.

Backbeat Online updates its DNC cheat sheet, teases an upcoming Metallica gig, and joins Rachel Pollard as she takes another walk on Fascination Street, an especially Cure-centric route. And Demver catches wind of Nancy Pelosi protesters, tracks fifty unmarked Denver Police vans ready for DNC misbehavers, and prices some convention-week rentals on Craigslist. Hope you late planners have a wallet the size of a yacht. -- Michael Roberts
