Big day today true believers – the online chat starts at noon, so make sure to stop by Pressherald.com at 12:30 p.m. for when the fun begins. Or at least what I hope will be fun.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts we’ll be talking about local hip-hop, graffiti, and prom.

Coincidentally, I finally got around to seeing Spider-Man 3 this past weekend, so if anyone wants to share their thoughts on the Web-head, I’d be more than happy to oblige.

Today’s Monday Magazine was brought to you by Men’s Warehouse and the Dress Shop at Macy’s.

But in seriousness, today’s magazine was pretty prom-tacular, and much of the thanks goes to Emily Shinay, who stepped up to challenge of trying to explain what it is that makes prom special, and what role the annual ritual plays in our lives.

So naturally I had to be a part of this cross-generational, pop culture extravaganza. Fortunately, I was able to talk my editor down from the idea of posting one of my prom photos.

My tips are not hard and fast rules, but more or less observations and suggestions on how to survive the big night.

Anyone else out there with their own tips about prom?
