[fwd] EK: EKAnn: 21st Annual Black Rose Ball
Poster: James Gilly / Alasdair mac Iain <alasdair.maciain@snet.net>
Hullo, all -
I just wanted to pass along the broadside for this year's installment of
the best event I've ever attended. 8) I just checked the web site - their
dance list isn't up yet, but they promise it will be by the 29th.

>good gentles to come warm our dance halls with love. Saturday, February
>13, 1999, join us at the University of Rhode Island Memorial Union, 50

>This year, along with our usual dancing and revelry, we invite you to
>participate in two contests we hope to make a tradition. First, express
>your love and devotion to another with a sonnet. (Official rules: The
>poem must follow standard sonnet form, and the reading may not exceed
>two minutes in length as to be judged by a very large man with a sword
>in hand.) Our second contest is for the most outrageous and imaginative
>cloven fruit. (Official rules: Yes, it really must be a fruit.)
>
>Also, we will be holding a silent auction to benefit the URI student
>group. All proceeds from the auction will go towards a future
>educational event to benefit the children of South County. If you would
>like to donate an item for the silent auction, please contact Ingram
>(contact information below).
>
>The site opens at 11 AM and dance practice will begin at noontime. The
>site closes at 10 PM. As always, we greatly appreciate all those
>gentles who stay to help clean up or show up early to help set up.
>
>The site fee is $4. Admission is free with a valid student
>identification card for any university, college, high school, or other
>place of higher learning or a bribe for the autocrat. Also, faculty,
>staff, and administrators of any educational institution may attend for
>free. Please make checks payable to SCA Inc. - Barony of the Bridge.
>No reservations are needed. Our local restaurants will be providing a
>discount for attendees of the Ball who are wearing garb. A light
>dayboard will be provided during the day, and a light dessert table will
>be available at night.
