Fandom Garden Party

[bop_radar]

Certain among us have decided that the days are very languid of late, so in an effort to invigorate our local community and inspire a sense of festivity, we have decided to hold a Fandom Garden Party. Starting immediately and lasting for a week. (Well, there's no point in doing things by halves, right? *waves 1930s cigarette holder airily*) All those who consider themselves part of the fannish community are invited!



Imagine, if you will, your friends mingling in the gazebo, at the elaborate dining tent or under a shady oak tree. Cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and iced desserts will of course, be provided gratis. Those of you so inclined may partake of a leisurely game of tennis, croquet or lawn bowls, or simply stroll around the gardens. It's a good time to catch up with friends, but also to meet new ones--in that, we can be of assistance!

As we all know, introductions smooth the way for new contacts to be made and friendships to form. Therefore we invite you to let your fellow revellers know a little more about yourself. Simply cut and paste

Further events on the Garden Party agenda will be posted daily at this journal. There is no pressure to attend or participate (enforced garden parties are dreadful affairs!), but I hope to see many of you and your friends there: the more the merrier! Pass the word! *pours champagne in preparation*

That's cool you're a Bruce Cockburn fan! I was listening to "Coldest Night of the Year" this morning.
