Haifuku!

	I've succeeded in getting the local university to define an SCA feast
as a 'potluck', thus letting us use the facilities without having to
have the meal catered by their food service. I imagine the final legal
definition will vary from place to place, but what we do isn't really a
public event, it's a private gathering of friends. Granted, within the
bounds of the Society we make friends easily, but still...

	Do folks in other areas of the Laurel Kingdoms advertise events
anywhere besides SCA publications?
