[MR] Event listing, making plans, etc.

[Katharine Devereaux]

Actually Sveva,
Usually I have always tried to make my plans a year ahead of time.
Coordinating with friends to determine if we'll be attending an event, even
a big one such as crown, coronation, or 12th night.

I know that I am the exception for this, but in my previous kingdom - An
Tir, the calendar was usually booked up at least 9 months in advance. For
example, Twelvth Night for 2004 has already been booked with the group,
autocrat, and basic event copy to give people a chance to plan and make
reservations.

Another 2cents to be added to the pot!
