This past Wednesday, Fairy Tale characters of every ilk populated the magical grounds at Novem, as we hosted our weekly event, this time celebrating tales of enchantment and woe. Let me start by thanking Mr. Hap Underwood, who created a Glass Slipper for us in honor of the occasion. Hap never fails to surprise and delight. Check out his other creations at Irkmade. (I believe, however, that the slipper is still a prototype.)

The costume winners this week were Doctor Augustus Dayafter of Seraph Enterprises, and Mrs. Jenny Merryman of Jenny Lane Soapmakers. Each winner received a pumpkin cottage provided by LeeLu Anatine.

Little fairy princess Gematria SteelGears did a fine job as co-hostess with Lulu Seetan. You'd almost think that Gem had done this kind of thing before....

Next week's event is PIRACY ON THE PALISADE! (Insert pirate vernacular here....)

Flying High!

Another whiz bang event at Novem: The Muses Playhouse this Wednesday, July 23rd. Airship Day saw a record crowd as people rode the Aer Traba Lily (*blush*) and danced to the music of DJ Mitsu Figaro. The build was designed and constructed by Brandlew Babenco, a name to watch, for sure! The ship will still be docked at Novem for a few more days, so come on by and take a look.

Lulu Seetan did a great job of co-hosting with young Master Darien Mason, who seems to have gone through some sort of time travel thingy, only to come out the other end as his 12 year old self. Hmmm...good thing that Novem is all ages now.

This week's costume prizes were awarded to Kol Wysznik for Best Captain, and to yours truly for Best Crew. Kol's prize was a piano, and mine was a metal robot guy, both built and donated by Brandlew (sorry BB--I didn't see the prize up close yet, as Lulu hasn't given it to me yet!) Lulu took some off-the-cuff pics at the event, so check our Flickr to see what you missed, or to possibly see yourself in our photo stream. I'll include links to other pictures as I get them.

A special thanks goes out to Flea Habilis, who, once again, helped us put together out gift items. If you did't receive one, become a member of our group and one should be available in the Past Notices. Or, IM me in world if you would. If I've forgotten to thank anyone, please forgive me, as I'm still recuperating from the event...
