<DIV><SPAN class=653572001-21102003><FONT face=Arial size=2>In preparation for
Eine Kleine Fest (Ponte Alto's event on Nov. 8th) I had hoped to make a German
puff-and-slash gown...but with one thing and another (wedding planning, buying a
house, and other minor things) it hasn't come together. So, does anyone
have a late-period gown (anything not just German) I might be able to borrow for
the event? I promise to return it in as good or better a condition as I
receive it, and I'll do any darning, etc. that might be necessary (as well as
providing cookies/baked goods/music in exchange, should these be
helpful!)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

parents will be coming to this event-- to see what my weird hobby is all about--
so, Lady Luce, I was intending to get in touch with you to see if the Ponte Alto
garb closet might hold anything they could use!)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV align=left><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=2>"Killing is wrong. And bad.
There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like 'badwrong', or 'badong'.
Yes-- killing is 'badong'. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of
killing: 'gnodab'." -- The Chosen One, "Kung Pow!: Enter the Fist"</FONT></DIV>
