Nine Party!

[lwood]

Tomorrow (today for most of you) will be 09 September 2009--or 09-09-09.

It also happens to be the regularly scheduled Hrafnar meeting, so we've decided that this month's event will be a party brought to you by the Number Nine, the Rune Ansuz, and the god Odin! It will be held at the usual place and time (Greyhaven, 7:30 PM).

Events will include (but probably not be limited to) Nine-Pin Loggats, Nine Men's Morris, mind-bending riddles, and a short sumbel in Odin's honor. Also, as we're used to doing at September Hrafnar meetings, we will be creating a corn dolly that we fervently hope looks like a horse, to be sacrificed to the fire at Yule. However, this time, instead of the Vanir, the focus will be on Woden as a Continental fertility power and as leader of the Hunt--and we'll be leaving a sheaf in the old yew stump for Sleipnir.

I know at least two people are bringing salmon (mmmm, fishies!), and there will be aspearagus and roast beast.

Now, usually, I roast a mighty prime rib, source of the ribeye steak. But this time, I'm going with an eye of round roast.

Hope to see some of you there!

I've set my alarm for as close as I can get to 09-09-09 09:09:09 UT (this is one of the few 'interesting' dates which is the same in US, UK and ISO 8601 formats (assuming the 'truncated' ISO8601:2000 format without century); we'll get 10, 11 and 12 and then nothing which is the same in all formats for the rest of the century).

I can't be there but have fun and drink deep!
