I don't think I can do Santa Flaunt after all. We were going to do it on 1/13, but now kittenpants and I have to be in St. Louis that day. The next best day was 1/20, but apparently the Kansas City Mystery School is meeting that night and will need to be fed dinner. That sort of squeezes out the Flaunt, I think. If other people would like to do the Flaunt, they are welcome to do so, but I don't think we can come. :(

It's very cool that we are stepping up our involvement in the greater pagan community and getting to do some teaching in other places, but I can see that this will mean less time for general fun. Why can't we get more weeks in the year, I ask you?

I want to flaunt, it's just the commute's a bit of a bitch.

We could plan a Limey Flaunt for sometime in September. That should give everyone enough time to pencil it in. There could be fish and chips and beer and silly accents, followed perhaps by English movies (Room with a view... of HELL!)

Are you coming back in the Fall?

That's the current theory. Dissertation/project is due at the end of August, and it's unlikely that I'll be done before then. Technically my visa allows staying/working in the UK until graduation ceremonies (January), but given the travails of others trying to find work here as foreigners, there isn't much reason for me to hang around waiting for my marks. In the States I'll earn better money and have lower expenses even if I end up at WFM for a couple of months. Not that I'm keen for that to happen, but at least it's a pretty secure backup plan for keeping a roof over my head while seeking archaeological work. (Let me know if you have any buddies at Science City...)

If I end up with a fabulous job lined up right out of school that's somewhere other than KC, I'll at least be in town for a few days to aggregate my things from their diaspora and load them up for moving.

Will you be reclaiming your Giant Bunny when you return? :-P

Also, I don't have any buddies over at Science City, but I could see if I could make some.

I will. If you conceive of a Worthy Home (or a Worthy Prank) for it before then, however, I will not cry at its absence when I return. I'll just want pictures of the fun :-)

(I was halfway guessing that it had been burned as the Wicker Bunny anyway...)

I could say that we didn't even think about burning it as the Wicker Bunny, but that would be a Big Fat Lie.

Also, you have my solemn vow that if we decide to airlift it, give it a viking funeral, dress it in garters and sit it on the mayor's lawn, or any other outlandish thing, I will photograph it and send you pictures. This I swear.

BTW, totally off topic. Tim (or Tom) from Fresh Foods (?) says, "Hi." and that he is totally jealous of your exotic escapades to foreign countries.
