And the anniversary came and went, forgot that it was yesterday, oh well. The thing at the bottom of the main page is off by a couple of days for some reason.
The main admin account was created on Feb 16, 2004, so that's the birthday.
Can't believe it's been that long!

As everyone's aware, NIR is coming up on it's 8th anniversary, so we'll be having a party to celebrate. Since the Overlook Hotel seems to be the central location for all of us, this is where it will be. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to book the Gold Ballroom as there will be an Amway convention there at the same time and they had the ballroom booked months in advance (yeah, I know ). However, I did manage to reserve room 237 for us (it was either that or the boiler room.) We will be having a special "musical" guest, but I'm under the strictect obligation not to reveal who it is at this time. However, I'll give you a little hint... (P)ennyLa(i)ne) came up with theme and it will be "Party Like It's 1921"! ;D See ya!

Wow iameye you must really have some connections to be able to pull off reserving the Gold Room for us and booking some high class enterntainment! Does this mean I'll have to cancel the one-man-band? He's really good! He plays all his own instruments at the same time! ;D

Deva, that room was booked a long, long, long time ago, like I said. Still playing, doing her pretty face. And at night she's a singer with the band. When is this party starting, anyway?

Since the Overlook Hotel seems to be the central location for all of us, this is where it will be. We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outsideMaking our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We make a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know we'll never forget The Over Look Hotel Connections? How many do you really need? Be there

When is this party starting, anyway? Well, I figure we can at the time of the Sabbat date of Lughnasadh/Lammas to the end of the weekend. Lammas is the "cross-quarter" day marking the first harvest of early grain, where the first loaf of the bread from the harvest is broken and shared in the name of the Goddess. All crops associated with grain and of the season are sacred to this time. Much festivity is coincident with Lammas. It is a time to reflect on the successes of the year and to reward yourself for jobs well done. Lammas magic can be magic of facing up to change. The God gives his energy to the crops to ensure life while the Goddess, as Mother, prepares to transform into her aspect as the Crone. The God loses his strength as the days grow shorter. Disting is the most important feast in February, which means /"assembly of the Disir. It is also called the `Charming of the Plow,` showing that it is a celebration of the beginning of a new crop year, as well as a feast in honor of the female ancestral spirits. The first Sunday in February has strong Gemini vibrations. Gemini being the third astrological sign in the Zodiac, between the 60th and 89th degree of celestial longitude. It is a sign of transition from spring to summer--and signals change and versatility. At its zenith the Sun crosses this area of the zodiac between May 21 to June 20, concluding the summer solstice. Because the Sun's transit through the sign of Gemini concludes at the moment of the summer solstice, the sign is seasonally associated with the transition from spring to summer. Because its period indicates a change of season, it is known as a 'mutable sign', describing an impulse towards change and versatility, and an easy ability to adapt to the demands of the environment. The sign is governed by Mercury, a planet noted for swift movement and symbolically associated with the interchange of ideas and fluid responses to circumstances. Gemini is also linked with the 'element of air' which represents the mental and social realms, the ability to formulate abstract ideas and to effectively interpret symbols, imagined concepts and communicative signals. As the mutable air sign, governed by a planet which is astrologically given to the principle of transmutation and communication, the symbolic focus of the sign falls upon movement, quick-thinking, free-flowing expression, gesticulation, and spontaneous reaction. The sign is symbolised by 'the twins', which also presents duality: the ability to relate to opposing visions simultaneously, to possess dexterity and do many things at a single time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(astrology)

You don't know what we'll miss... lol He is a She, Deva. Didn't you know? ;D But I never believed my intellect had a gender Anyway, I am quite capable of catering this event solo, if need be. Gordon can be my sous, though, if he wants the job. How about a shake to go with that 'za? She's the fair apple, too! Shakti meaning sacred force or empowerment, is the primordial cosmic energy, from shak - "to be able" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShaktiPS Hey, isn't it cool when the cake stand just rooooollllllls across the counter? Like a really shiny peace of pi platter, huh? lol

I wasn't talking about your intellect, I was speaking of your cosmically conscious self--the yang (masculine) energy within. Of course, we all know about your unmatched ability to channel the late great and allow her yin (feminine) energy course through body and soul like an electrical current. Can you see the little piggies? What an elaborate way to serve an apple! ;D You don't need me to tell you how to make a shake--just call on Julia! ;D
