[Steppes] October Populace: Calling bards, brewers, gamers, and cook!

[Shark]

Greetings Steppes,
I am hosting populace in October, October 24th to be exact, and wanted to let you all know about the theme. It's tavern night in the Steppes. Populace will be held in Richardson, at the same apartment complex we held the party in August - though a different clubhouse. (Thanks to Fiona for helping me set this up by the way <hugs>)

It will be a Tavern theme, with bardic, period gaming demos (all betting games with tokens!), brew sharing, and period cooking - as well as non-period snacks. It starts at 7 usually, but for this night, I will be there at 6 setting up and you can come as early after that as you want. We will have the Period Gamesters there to teach and play period games, Steppes Bards will be roving and entertaining us, the Steppes Loose Assoc. of Brewers will be on hand with samples of their wares, and all period cooks are welcome to bring samples of their delicacies.

We will have a clubhouse with a small kitchen, and can use the area outdoors from the clubhouse for bardic or for socializing. You can swim if you are a polar bear :)  It would be nice to have some dancing and drumming performance later in the evening (if one of you wants to organize that, just email me).

 If you are a brewer or cook and you can't come but would like to have something at the tavern, contact me off-list and I'll try to meet you and get your items to the tavern, labeled with your name, of course.

Fiona sent the following directions to the list for getting to the site and I added them to this email:

You will need to stop at the VC (Visitor's Center) on University Parkway, then go back down to Campbell Road, and turn right. 

Turn right on Waterview Parkway,  go north on Waterview Parkway to Drive A (the  red light), then turn right. You'll make a left into the apartments almost immediately. 

The  clubhouse is just past the mail center. When you  turn in, you'll go straight back on the drive and you'll see the mail center just behind the first building and the clubhouse right next to that. 
 
NOTE: When you stop at the Visitors Center, you'll need to request a Visitors Parking pass for Waterview  Apartments. Please make sure you have my name and number if you have  any problems.  Dana Busenbark  469-222-9236
