x-posted with F2F:

We are almost there! I finally got in touch with the catering coordinator at the hotel, and we’ve established the food/drink minimum for one of their rooms--I’m going tomorrow to check out our two options.

With the help of some very generous Buffistas, we are now only $315 short of what we will need to cover the HS and Prom at the hotel. ND and I will kick in $100 of that as well as provide sound and BBQ food Friday night.

I’d like to book tomorrow if you all think we can raise the final couple hundred dollars. That total will include two nights of the hospitality suite, open bar at Prom for 3+ hours (I’m working out details now) and snacks. What say you? Discussion in F2F thread.

There's an opening for a senior writer/editor at my organization in the Triangle, NC. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact me at my profile addy for more info. It's a pretty good organization, and much of the crazy that had my pulling my hair out last year has been resolved.

Spam time!

My friend L. and I made a video in order to win a concert in my backyard by our favourite musician, Joel Plaskett. The video is a bit silly, but it contains many adorable cats (sorry Hec) including mine. Please watch, and if you like it, please help us win by liking it on You Tube. [link]

Thanks!

(My friend L. and her boyfriend did all the heavy lifting. i.e. directing and editing.)

ETA: A vote for me is a vote for kitties!

Hey, peeps.

For whatever random reason, I noticed that the code and CSS is bastardising the standards. Which is to say, currently the > and ] quickedits expand to illogical tags ( t cite and t dfn respectively). For the sake of everything sacred in the free world, this has to stop.

What does it have to do with you? 15 of you are going to get some weird behaviour, based on the fact that you're custom styling "cite" right now. 4 of you will get much less easy to spot weird behaviour since you're custom styling "dfn".

I will be changing t cite to t blockquote and t dfn to t span class="indent" later today. If you want to change your custom stylesheet now, just look for the line where you define cite and add blockquote thusly:

cite { formatting deets}

cite, blockquote {formatting deets}

And similarly, add .indent to your dfn definition:

dfn {stuff}

dfn, .indent {stuff}

Change should be effective as of about 5PM board time or so.

Now let me go see how badly I borked the post's formatting...

^^ indent, not quote.

I rolled ita ! "Sunnydale Press" Jun 28, 2012 12:33:54 pm PDT back out, since people were not seeing quoted text formatted correctly. Testing has shown that forcing a refresh (F5, Ctrl-R, etc) of the web page makes the new style sheet load, and this should fix the issue.

I'm rolling the change back in immediately.

Refresh, refresh, refresh!

Please take a moment to help out my comic book store. He's hoping for 250 votes to win a chance at a Mission Small Business grant. My comic store is awesome and his building's landlord is losing the location to foreclosure. I'd like to see the guy stay in business.

You can check out the location here and click through to vote. [link]
