[MR] Dance competition at KASF

[Brian Sidlauskas]

My Dear Lady Nicolosa, and Indeed, All Other Dancers of Atlantia,

I and the other dancers in Buckston and Windmasters Hill are well 
pleased to hear that you wish all to gather and celebrate Terpsichore's 
Art in Marinus, at Kingdom Arts and Sciences, on March the First.  We 
are sore perplexed by this talk of a competition, however, for we 
assumed that all the Kingdom already knew that Buckston's dancers are 
the finest in all the realm. Clearly an educational demonstration is in 
order.

( In other words, we Windy Kitties will gladly attend, enter and help 
judge!  Let us know what other help you need. :) )

In Service to the Muse,

-- Galeran Chanterel
