 There's not much to say about Liz, other than she's the insane co-chair who puts on HHG each year along with the other insane co-chair. She just wrote a book, "Stewart Farrar, Writer On A Broomstick" and has been asked to do a workshop on it (actually, she was told she had to do a workshop). Liz's magical name, "Sexy Hot Mama", came to her one night during a vision. This profound experience occured at a Pub in Ireland while she was scrying into a glass of whiskey. It was a very deep and moving spiritual experience. The Gods truly spoke to her that night. She enjoys moonlit walks, Polish kisses and drinking Jameson, preferably all in the same evening.
