Potlatch

See blog search result for potlatch. (Scroll down.) The post, "Potlatch And Prayer," includes a link to a Wikipedia article explaining "potlatch." My only point at this late hour is that my late night other reading is again relevant. In Mike Carey's Lucifer: Evensong, God proposes a potlatch to Lucifer. How Lucifer responds, I leave it to readers to discover.

Good night.

Kaor, Paul!

And, of course, we see mention of the potlatch Indian tribes of Alaska in "The Only Game in Town."

Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

Tribal chiefs, head men, etc., would throw swanky bashes to brag about how rich, powerful, and magnificent they were.
