I have inflicted the crow/raven pinion pun from Saturday's panel onto another friend of mine (known from Wiscon rather than Farthing Party) whom loves all things corvid, and also likes to inflict things like "Iron Bulwer-Lytton" contests on the world.

My day is now complete.

My best wishes to all of you at the final Farthing Party. I was at the first and had planned to be at the last, but it has not worked out.

With great regret, we find that we are unable to attend Farthing Party as we had hoped. kateyule is going to have surgery on her knee and will be unable to travel at that time.

Is there any possibility we can get a refund of our membership payment?

Sorry it took a few days, but they have now added rooms of all kinds to the room block (particularly classic for Thursday-Monday), and I've just tested that it works ( Read more... )
