Second Round
I'll be baking again shortly, this time concentrating on ginger cake. First eight slots, three of which are filled (Nonian gets hers and two non-Buffista writer friends have requested some).
Five requests available for filling. Who wants? Email me at sf underscore deb at yahoo dot com.

I mentioned this briefly in the F2F thread, but I will be one of the tour guides in this year's Somerville Illuminations Tour! Details about the Tour is below. This thing sells out every year, so definitely get tickets in advance!
I will be on Trolley A for the 7:30 and 8:45 tours on December 18. Write that down so you have it handy when you buy tickets.
If can't get to McIntyre and Moore in Davis Square this week to buy tickets (seriously -- tickets go fast), and you definitely want to go, let me know which tour you want, whether you can make the other if your first choice is sold out, and I'll buy a ticket for you.
Somerville has some pretty amazing, completely over-the-top houses around Xmas time. I think Buffistas will enjoy the tour so long as you can embrace the tacky.

The Illuminations Tour
December 18, 2004
It is time again for the Somerville Arts Council’s
annual Illuminations Tour! Bring your friends and
family along for the season's brightest holiday ride.
The 45-minute trolley tour celebrates the
folk-artistry of the many city residents who transform
their houses and yards with strings of lights and
illuminated ornaments.
Trolleys leave from City Hall between 4:30 and 8:45pm
on the 18th, with festive tour guides leading the way
from one spectacular display to the next, providing
entertainment, tales and tidbits about Somerville's
history and character along the way.
Tickets go on sale Wed., Dec. 1 at McIntyre and Moore
Booksellers, 255 Elm Street in Davis Sq.
Tickets are $10 for adults; $5 for children (12 and
under) and seniors (60 and over). All proceeds go
toward funding the public programs of the
Somerville Arts Council. Maps and holiday cards are
also available around town and at City Hall on the
night of the event.

L.A. Bronze Posters - I'll be in LA this weekend and had plans to attend 'Paint Your Wagon' (with Erika Amato in two roles) with friends, but now my friends can't make it. So I have 4 tickets and only 1 me. I still plan on going and don't want the tickets to go to waste, so, if you're interested in attending, send me an e-mail (soon). The tickets have already been paid for.

I have met OldManFan and can vouch he is a extremely nice guy.
Ahem.
I have a small number of mini-fruitcakes left to give away. They were made with dried fruit, candied ginger, honey, Goslings rum, and other good things of that ilk. They have been marinating in apple brandy for several days. I have two nutless fruitcakes and four with nuts that are looking for good homes. Please ping me at my profile addy if you'd like one.
Like innocence, fruitcake gone
