Massachusetts Eastern Star

This Saturday night (5/17) I will finally be formally invested in my office as a Deputy Grand Marshal in Eastern Star. The ceremony - which bears a passing resemblance to SCA royal court - is open to the public and I'd be happy to see friends there. (But I gotta warn you, in fairness, if you think the idea of a 4- or 5-hour court is repulsive, you probably don't want to come; wait for some other opportunity, later in the year, to check it out.)

Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Lowell MA. Prelude starts at 6:15, ceremonies really start around 6:30, and will probably conclude some time between 10 and 11 pm.
