My friend Jessie and I are hosting a party to celebrate the successful completion of our theses. If you live in the area, you probably received an evite. If you didn't, or if you're going to the in the Boston area on Friday, May 23, at 7:00 p.m, e-mail me, and I'll add you to the invite list.
PARTY! YAY!
I just wanted to mention that we've pushed the deadline for High Hat No. 10 back until the end of the month due to the sway of other projects on the editors' time. Which means that if you've been thinking about pitching something to us, now's a great time: highhatsubmissions AT gmail DOT com.
Another buffista writer debut at www.travelswithchild.org - Jessica & Dylan are making their first entry with the Greatest Travel Game in the World, and clocking post #201.
(squee!)
Lightbulbs is now open to discuss the following proposal from Jesse:
Going back to an earlier part of the conversation, I'd like to formally propose eliminating "no preference" as a voting option and also revisit the minimum number of votes needed for a vote to count. I'm not going to propose a specific number at this point, because I could be persuaded that just getting rid of no preference serves the purpose, and I'm not sure what the right number would be anyway.
F2F update:
We're at just under $800, over half of the way there, folks. For those who would like to donate through PayPal, the e-mail for my account is: dinky40 at charter dot net. If you would like to send a personal check, fire me off an e-mail and I'll send you a snail mail address to send it to.
Thanks a bunch to all of you who have donated and to those who Shirley surely will.
Hear Ye Hear Ye

Due to a change I had to make on the database end of things, everyone who had been set to be remembered, will unset. You can just switch yourself back. Please holler in admin if you need your password reset--I am very sorry--I couldn't work out a way around it.
Voting results:
Remove "No Preference" as a Voting Option?

NO 32
No Preference 11

I'm going to lock the tables and run a full database backup in five minutes. I have no idea how long it should last, but I will cancel it if it looks insane.
Tick...tick...
She's all yours!
