  • Date: Thursday, November 2

Last year was a lot of fun, and we're looking forward to seeing everyone, plus a few new Muggles, this year. Please contact me via PM if you have any questions and/or would like to attend.

Dang it! Serves me right for never reading anything other than the WSJ threads. I would have come down from New Hampshire for this.
