Our Cup Runneth Over

Oh, this (via the fine folks of Franklin Avenue) is going to be fun.
Should anyone desire to see some form of coverage of the event in this space, we're just saying it's going to cost the editorial staff $1.50 to get there, & the same to get back. We'll be in quite a hurry to file our report, too. So get those nickels & dimes pouring in, only three mailing days left.

And, did we mention? (Via a Tintin tweet.)
No, we didn't; we don't want to be bum-rushed out of the Hammer. Not that we really believe Mme. Suderman is scrutinizing our every move, but maybe we should have used our legal name on the non-reservation list.
Hey, thanks for making a reservation, except you didn't, ha ha, you just gave us your email for our sucker list.
This one's six bucks round trip. And, we'd like snacks & so on, for both events. (We were thinking it would be nice to have, oh, say, a large pie*, for the Hammer event.) As Ms. McA. would tell you, there is no free lunch, people! You want coverage, you pay.


*Joke. Humor. Laugh. Not a threat, implicit or otherwise. We haven't got time for the pain, to quote Carly Simon.

Apparently 'bag-pipes' do not count as 'music', so have to be specified separately on the invitation form.

No arguments there.
