Information on the Pennsic Independent . . .

I do not know if I am working for them this year, but people ask me a lot about this kind of information:

This is unedited. ;)

Yep, it's that time of year again. Time for my annual announcement!

As we're preparing for Pennsic, don't forget to get the Known World's ONLY daily newspaper, the Pennsic Independent!

You can subscribe or purchase your classifieds online at Pennsic Independent. PDF subscriptions are still the cheapest and best value! You can print your PI and see it in COLOR! If you want to pay in advance and make sure you get your daily paper at Pennsic, or have it
mailed home, this is also the best way to do it. AND you can order a pristine set to pick up at the end of War.

PDF subscriptions have gone up slightly this year, but are still only $7 for all eight issues, plus back issues from previous years!
Mail-home subscriptions have gone up slightly, too, as postal costs have risen.

Don't forget! The more we sell in advance, the easier it is for us to make our costs at the beginning of the War. PI, while a commercial enterprise,
really doesn't make any money. We pride ourselves in providing a great service to all war attendees and those at home who are unable to come.

We've also have great response from our men and women who are serving in the more dangerous parts of the world and missing us. If you know someone who is serving overseas, a gift subscription to the PDF version is a
fabulous way to let them participate in the world's freindliest war.

Hope to hear from you soon! Please forward this as widely as possible.

Thank you all!

Quick update . . .

Apologies for the flurry of posts last night. I just wanted to get that stuff out.

I did lose one reader as a result, but I cannot say I blame him.

In fact, this is an Amnesty Week. If you are still reading and want to take me off your friends' list, go right ahead. No hard feelings.

I may or may not take you off.

I wish they called it something other than "friends."

So what do we think about this?

Hartford -- State lawmakers are planning to move up the effective date of a law banning protesters from funerals, in advance of an expected demonstration by anti-gay activists at the memorial for a Norwich soldier killed in Iraq.

Protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., have announced that they plan to picket Friday’s funeral services for Army 1st Lt. Keith Heidtman, who was killed May 28 when the helicopter he was co-piloting was shot down over Diyala, Iraq, north of Baghdad.

The church group has picketed troop funerals across the country, including that of Army Capt. Jason Hamill in Old Lyme last year, to protest what it calls the United States’ sinful tolerance of homosexuality and gay people.
