Hello all,
There's a new group forming in the Alpharetta, Georgia area, with it's first meeting on Friday, April 18th, 2008 at 8pm.

CEPT for Heather/Margaret CROSSPOSTED!

2007-07-02T16:22:29Z

I just got an aim from Margaret of Northwode who had this to say:

am in baptist w partially obstructed guts

They are hoping that this will resolve itself but she will be in the hospital at least until Tuesday. As always with this kind of thing, prayers, good thoughts, etc will be most appreciated. Thanks!

(relaying for a stuck Margaret who really wants a big plate of steak fries but says "YAY delaudid!" but doesn't help the fact that there's a Krispy Kreme right outside her window!)

This is one of the two new populace badges

2007-06-02T15:30:53Z

Feel free to use it. I don't even want credit for it, as I made the icon off the files in the Yahoo! Tavern Yard group.

Really, that "Ashley Continuum/Borg" thing is just a JOKE....

2007-01-18T21:32:15Z

[crossposted to my journal]

Class last night: Heraldry and Precedence for Kids, taught by Alexander. He's knocking the rough edges off the class and needed to run through it and there are, of course, kids in the Shire, Meg among them, to take the class.

In discussion of the associate belts and which color meant what, he got to the green belt and asked if they knew what it meant the person wearing IT was. The girls all sat there and thought about it for a bit, and then Meg, who had also been thinking about it, has a light bulb go on and she answers,

"[An] Ashley!"

Much laughter from the adults. Repeated this morning when I called my Laurel Alysea to recount it.

Saltare 2007, in Huntsville, AL.

2007-01-03T16:17:17Z

Here is the info for Saltare 2007 (February 3rd):

http://www.madscientist.name/saltare/frontpage.htm

Please join the Saltare Yahoo group here, it is all European dance people, and we need a presence!:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/saltare_guild/

If you are planning to teach and we have already spoken, I will need to get a brief class description from you.

I still have several slots open for teaching, and this promises to be a good year for dancers and musicians alike.

If you are interested in bringing something for the food table, please let me know, it would be much appreciated. (Munchable type stuff)

I can't wait to get this going!

Heraldry and blazon

2006-12-29T18:16:39Z

Hey, my son is trying to work up a device and he wants to know if he is using the correct blazon to describe it. Here it is:

Azure a chevron argent 5 mullets in chief or 1 mullet in base or.

Does this give him basically a blue shield with a white chevron in the middle with five stars above the chevron and one star below?

Any help for the heraldrically challenged would be appreciated...

Not Your Typical Meridian Wimp...

2006-06-12T20:31:10Z

...by popular request, the Shire of Owl's Nest is now offering a variety of shirts with the "Not Your Typical Meridian Wimp" on it!

This is just one variety of the shirt available. Please visit our Shire's online Shoppe for more, as well as other Owl's Nest and Meridian items!

Click HERE for Shoppe!

*DISCLAIMER* - the above shirt and related materials are done in jest, much like the infamous "Typical Atlantian Thug" shirts. Don't get your knickers in a wad over them, please. :))) If you don't like them, then simply don't order one.

Also, all profits coming from the sales of items in our shoppe go to our Shire's coffers, in the same way as a fund raiser. This is not a "business" to make a "profit". Checks from Cafepress.com are made out to our Shire's name.

Pennsic Dates for A.S. XXXXII, and beyond

2006-06-09T20:20:06Z

Here are the dates for Pennsic War, for 2007 and beyond. It has been decided to start land grab the last weekend in July.

This does not effect this year's war. But it is the way things will be done after this year.

Trying to get RUM added to Schools

2006-05-25T23:04:38Z

OK. Miskatonic University is available as a school. Hogwarts is available as a school. Transylvania Polygnostic (from the "Girl Genius" comic series) is available as a school.

I just submitted the Royal University of Meridies as a school that I have attended, to LiveJournal. If it is approved, it will show up in my user info.

If. If. If.

Want to help?

I placed it in Atlanta, GA, USA. Why? Well, it has to have a city, state, and Country. No, I am not a South Downs person. I selected it because it is where the current Chancellor resides.

Maybe if we use repeated requests, each from a different user, they will add us!

Show your school pride!
