The day after Coronation, the textile arts gentles will be hosting a
"String Thing and Day" full of activities at the home of Robear and
Tawngystl.  The  intent is to increase the knowledge and skill
throughout the kingdom in the fiber arts.  Those interested should
indicate so with their reservation and crash space information so we can
