All our revels are soon ended.
I have this vision in my brain of the great hall doors slowly closing, the last of the revelers saying their goodbyes until next time the rift in space time opens and the lurker thread returns.
Just 334 or so days to Delurking 2...in 2010.
Oh, and it has been my pleasure to meet numerous buffistae at SF2F and a few mini-F2Fs. And though I have never had the pleasure of hosting anyone (no space in my miniscule house, unfortunately), I have been hosted once on either coast, both times by the lovely & charming Sparky family.
It looks like there are about 8 minutes left to this thread, if I am doing the math right across time zones. I've been listening to this quote for a few weeks now in rehearsal, and I thought I'd put it in here. Until next year, when we can re-open this living time capsule, so we can catch up with each other that we have missed in various threads. Meet people who know us from lurking. And rediscover folks who do not get a chance to post anymore. Adieu.
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends. (Act v. Scene i.)

It's that time of year again! Delurking month.
Delurkers, come out and plaaaay-ay.
Hee. Looks like the Welcoming Committee is here. Hello, delurkers!
