Relieved to be out of the public spotlight,
Sarah and Todd Palin let themselves go.

Sarah Palin breaks open her High School Musical day-planner  and makes plans for August 8th for her coming out party … in pencil:

Details of Sarah Palin’s plans after she steps down as Alaska governor emerged Sunday after a California Republican group disclosed that the former vice presidential nominee is slated to appear at a private gala next month.

Since announcing she plans to resign July 26, Palin hasn’t made clear if she intends to return to private life after leaving office or will begin laying the foundation for a possible presidential bid in 2012.

Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley said in a statement that Palin is scheduled to appear at the group’s 50th anniversary gala at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Aug. 8.

Group spokeswoman Pat Saraceno said the invitation-only event is closed to the media.

Earlier this year, Palin was offered a speaking role at an annual congressional fundraiser in Washington, which turned into a will-she-or-won’t-she mystery about whether the Alaska governor would even appear. Organizers replaced Palin as the keynote speaker after she wavered over accepting the invitation, and Palin said she never confirmed that she would speak. The governor eventually appeared at the dinner but did not address the crowd.

Saraceno said she respected Palin’s right to change her plans at any time. She said in an e-mail that correspondence with the governor’s office has been "positive but cautious," but she added, "we know she will come."

Unless someone with a more bitchin’ car invites her to the prom….

Also. It gets better:

The master of ceremonies for the event will be conservative radio talk-show host and filmmaker John Ziegler.

Awesome.
