LJ: memes

There's a meme going around (not for the first time) along the lines of "if you read this, post a comment about $SUBJECT here" (implied: so I know you're reading my journal). I usually don't do those, and you shouldn't draw conclusions about my reading habits from my silence. (I never do ones that say I "must" do something, though the current one doesn't make that demand.) If I wasn't planning to read you, I wouldn't have subscribed to your journal in the first place.

SCA: local events

In mid-September, there were no events on the local SCA group's calendar at all. Event frequency had been on the decline for a while, but we hadn't previously reached the "nothin' -- nothin' at all" stage.

I just came from an officers' meeting. (I'm not an officer; I was there as a mentor for a new autocrat.) Tonight there were proposals for four events, including three first-time autocrats. This is good news! (Two were approved; two are tentative pending site confirmations.) Now, let's see if we can make it a good experience for the new autocrats and continue to reach out to others (new and old).

jarethsgirl's event, Dance and Romance on February 11, was approved. Yay! There'll be dancing all day (including a ball in the evening), gaming, performances, and other activities; food is pot-luck with desserts organized by the local cooks' guild (yummy). There is no charge for the event (donations will be accepted).
