[ 15] Oook: A Bardic Circle
Tue Jun 24 17:06:28 2003
To: all
A Bardic Circle!
Greets!
At 7 pm system time a Bardic Circle will be held. All are invited, provided you behave yourself. Each attendee is also asked to provide a little bit of entertainment: a song, a skit, a joke, etc.
Furthermore, as a member-in-good-standing of Ogres Dedicated to the Development of Performance In General (ODDPIG), I will be offering a small award to the individual I feel does the best job.
Hope to see you there!
Oook!
