Ooooh, things are heating up in preparation for Cherry Bomb 6.13: BOMB VOYAGE (a Cherry Prom!) Uber-cocktailer David Turkel is making a batch of watermelon-infused rum, Christina Olson is pulling dance-able songs off the magigal ipod machine, and I'm trying to remember all the moves to "Beat It." You best come prepared! See you tomorrow...
