You’ll be torn between your plans for “Johnny’s Birthday”, when you have other ideas for the “Weekend & Sunshine.” Of course, Lola always gets what she wants! Just know: If you encounter these two “Lolas” (alias McBee and Mandel) at Pangea on Dec 6, you won’t “Cry, because your love went away.” After all, a “Blue Angel” will be watching over you. You may even find yourself “Falling in Love Again!”
