Twelfth Night will be Jan. 10

Forwarded

I apologize for those that get this missive twice (or more. . ), but I wanted to get the word out as soon as possible (time just always seems to disappear just when we need extra. . )

We, in the northern reaches of Rusted Woodlands, are proud to announce that East Kingdom Twelfth Night will be held at Washingtonville High School, Washingtonville, NY on January 10th, 2009.  (For those of you that remember last 100 Minutes War, this is the same site.)

A preliminary announcement has been sent to the EK website, and I expect it to appear soon, but in the meantime. . .

It will be a day of many enticements, from an afternoon ball (tired of not getting to dance because everyone leaves before dancing?  We were too, so the ball is scheduled BEFORE court) to fencing and fighting tourneys.

If anyone has an questions, feel free to e-mail me at elist@thornyrose.com (where this missive is originating, as I am the autocrat).

If any groups would like to arrange a space for meetings or gathers, please contact me asap so that we can make sure we have enough rooms reserved for that purpose.

Wednesday evening: Peaceful evening . . .

1. Welcome to ragnarr_drgnhrt!

2. For the quote memes, plus one more:

Buffy: "Want beer. Like beer. Beer good."
Xander: "Beer bad. Bad, bad beer. What the hell am I saying? "

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: "What in the hell happened back there?"
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: "Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl cuz... I don't think that's ever getting old."

G'kar, "Every space faring race has two things in common. First, they all have food identical to what humans call Swedish meatballs. Don't ask, I don't understand, it's just there. And they all share a myth about a time, when ancient dark forces prowled the universe, only to be cast down by or cast away by an even greater force, a force of light."

3. Tonight was close to heaven in the Liamverse. I was at a brew pub, with free wireless, playing footsie with a pretty girl (jenphalian). If the bar had NESN, and I could have watched the Red Sox at the same time, there would have been no reason to search for anything else. Actually, probably better that I didn't watch.

4. I was thinking I hadn't posted about Sarah Palin lately.

Then I saw this link to an NPR, and I could hear King Henry's voice saying, "I have not been angry since I came to France."

In that same speech, Palin told Americans she will be an advocate for children with special needs. "In fact," Libenson says, "just this summer she cut funding for Alaska's Special Olympics."

Libenson cites the governor's line-item veto trimming the Special Olympics budget by $275,000. Palin also slashed funding for statewide independent living centers and transition housing for homeless young adults, Libenson says.

Ms. Libenson is a former Palin supporter.

Now we're getting personal.

5. I had to go back and get something from the wedding photos. The photo next to this one in my flickr account is "Srs photo are srs.)

This one makes me wonder if I farted.




From left: The nephews (as my Uncle Ed used to say, "Rhymes with refuse," the only two normal people in the photo, my sister Rosemary, holding my niece, whom she named Anna, after my mom, and my brother-in-law John, who is an Orioles fan.

6. A friend of mine is getting sent to Belgium for work.

I get sent to Ithaca, NY.

7. I should know better than to watch a trailer that lists John Travolta and Miley Cyrus as the lead characters.

But ya know what? People are gonna go see Bolt.
