Chryssine promises to bake something special :D :D

I'll provide the transport because I don't drink alcohol :cry: but we both get our enjoyment in other ways :twisted:

One of the best is attending any mini-meet, but especially one like this :lol: :D

See you all at Birddog's

Pls. note for all attendees at the twilight meet on Saturday 17/12/05

I have revised the starting time, due to the weather is still too hot by 2:00pm.

So the new starting time is : 3:30pm.

New to this special mini meet:

- Webcast has been arranged.
- mate in public has been approved after few good reds.
- Bellies dancing is in discussion, ( after few bourbon and scoth :lol: )

It terrifies me that I might have to mate in public. :shock: Genista is quite good at it though, she has won some mate in public competitions in the past. :D

Now that is truly a frightening thought.

:)

Almost as frightening as the fact that they have bars on Bourbon St in New Orleans where mate in public is practised.

Evil!

For all the attendees,

May I suggest one thing:

Each of you, who's coming to the twilight mini meet, prepare yourself a small gift/ present, wrap it, with the value not exceeding of $10.00. Write your name on it.

Place it under the Xmas tree, which I will setup at the mini meet and we will swap with other at the end of the mini meet.

Hope this will add more fun to the event.

Your thoughts.
