Questions abound . . . . (and an answer)

I have a few questions:

1. Is anyone taking part in NanoWrimo? If you’re local, do you want to get together and doing some writing.

2. Speaking of NanoWrimo. I have three possible topics. War In Space. A Fantasy with a dwarf hero, and a semi-autobiographical coming of age novel. What do you think?

3. Melissa Ferrick is playing at the Somerville Theater on Dec. 2. I really want to go. Does anyone else want to come? Folksy and rock-style, Lesbian music. But I like it!

4. Does anyone want to donate to the first of my two Special Olympics fund-raisers? This is the fund-raising walk. The plunge into the ocean is early next year. Donate Here!

5. Does anyone want to help do cleanup at the Carolingian EKU? I could use a couple more people. I could use a couple of people to help at the auction.

6. Where were the Massachusetts towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott and why aren't they there any more. Extra-credit if you can connect it to H.P. Lovecraft.

NB: The two North American cities named after sacience fiction characters are Tarzana, Calif., and Flin Flon, Manitoba.

Wikipedia says:

The town's name is taken from the lead character in a paperback novel, The Sunless City by J.E. Preston Muddock. A prospector named Tom Creighton found the book in the wilderness. The story is about a man named Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin, who piloted a submarine through a bottomless lake. Upon passing through a hole lined with gold, he found a strange underground world.

When Tom Creighton discovered a rich vein of almost pure copper, he thought of the book and called it Flin Flon's mine, mercifully shortening the name. The town that sprung up around the mine adopted the name. Flin Flon shares with Tarzana, California the distinction of being named after a character in a science fiction novel.

Last call for EK Travel Fund auction items

All of a sudden, the EKU in Carolingia -- and therefore the Travel Fund Auction -- are only a couple of weeks away.

If you can donate something, please e-mail me at bill@goonbox.com, and tell me how we're going to get it to me before Nov. 11.

While items are great donations, so are promissories to make something, agreeing to teach someone something, service at an event and any of a number of other creative ideas. Please use your skills to help the Royalty.

If you can put this on a local -- or other -- group (where it would be appropriate), I would appreciate that. I am thinking Bridge, Quintavia, Stomemarche, Bergental, Freehold, Smoking Rocks, Malagentia, etc. Also, if someone can forward it to the SCA-Merchants list or another other group you might think work, that would be great.
