know so we can fix them.
Tell your people about the E-Horse, which is free and
gratis and kostenlos.

news.
Historian: Note
that we haven't hosted a major Kingdom event in about
4.5 years; maybe we should think about it again.
Need to start looking for cool sites now.

Barleycorn, etc.) Cleaning up Bylaws.
Exchecquer: We
have money. Event report from FFF has been
filed. If we need to add any more signers, need to

physically go to bank with Ian.
Chamberlain:
nothing to report.
Archery: there's
been some archery, and some rain.
A&S: Lada
ran an A&S event last month. We currently have

A&S Champs (2/16). If you're entering these or
anything similar, inform Viceregents.

all up to change in January. Ysenda will send out
a reminder on various lists.

attended. There was a raffle; Guy will be the
prettiest princess at the Harvest Ball.
Ysenda was at String Thing and made sprang; lotsa
fun. Next one is 11/1.
Upcoming Events

how to get it there.

November Commons will be on THURSDAY, November 15 in
the basement meeting room of Lorree True and Jeff
Berry, 552 Riverside Dr. (just south of 125th Street
on Riverside Drive).
DIRECTIONS
By Subway
Take the #1 train to 125th St. Exit to the right
after coming out of the turnstile and go down the
escalator to 124th St. (there's a sign in the station
pointing the way). On the street, you'll be at the
intersection of Broadway and Tiemann Pl. Go up the
hill on Tiemann Pl. towards the park. That's
Riverside Dr. Turn right on Riverside and our
building is in the middle of the block (a little block
heading downhill toward the huge Columbia residence next
door). Shout for someone to let you in!
By Car
From the west, take the Henry Hudson to the 125th street
exit.
From the east, cross somewhere and get to 125th and
RSD. (For example, the Triboro Bridge dumps you
onto 125th; when you get to Broadway, start looking for
parking.) Your best bet for parking is up around
Grant's Tomb. If you do park by Grant's Tomb,
you'll need to walk east and then down. We're on a
short chunk of RSD which is one-way, and next to the
tallest building for blocks (well, excepting
Riverside Church).
We maintain a Webbed database of
upcoming early-music concerts in the Østgarðr area.
