Aether Salon - Whimsy! October 18, 2009, 2pm

[Viv Trafalgar]

Please join us for a very special one year anniversary celebration on October 18 at 2pm: Whimsy!
Dame Ordinal Malaprop, famed not only for her whimsical weapons and defensive gear (the bee gun, the hatpin, the personal ban-line, the grid-crash protection box... [really, I could go on and on]) but also for her wit, and feats of derring-do across the grids, and Miss Hyasynth Tiramsu, the creative breath of fresh air that drives Silent Sparrow (please note the cuttlefish) will shed new light to the meaning and importance - nay, necessity - of Whimsy in these our times.

There's lots more news coming, but we couldn't wait to share this one.


(the following is a mere paraphrase. no actual avs were harmed in the production)

A Particular Avatar: " You want to start a Salon? Why?"

Viv: "because it's amusing, and period-appropriate, and we are badass smart and would have a great time and likely be very witty."

APA: "Yes but why?"

Viv: [long chatty digressive answer involving circles and arrows on photos and the singing of alice's restaurant, summed up in the pentultimate...] "whimsy and happenstance is why."

So.

12 months. Hours and Hours of Brilliance and Wit later. Sim crashing Salons and not a modicum of 'holy wow did Tensai just do THAT?'

We are at that point in the year where one traditionally celebrates a year's worth of feats - which is to say that the Salon is turning One on October 18 and wishes to celebrate the marvelous feats of all of its speakers from last year, as well as delight each and every one of you with the following.

Dame Ordinal Malaprop
Miss Hyasynth Tiramisu

Aether Salon of Babbage 2pm Oct 18.

To discuss: Whimsy!

I think that pretty much says it all. We will see you there,

All our best,

Sera & Viv
