Calendar madness

Bitly suggests: How about a "Story in 6 words" calendar?

ArrBee says we could combine: 6 words that relate to month and also use the letters of the month in order, such as:
JoAn opeNed her fUnky cAlendaR todaY (<- six words, start of calendar = Januberry)

SANE Meeting: 29 Jan 2013 ??

I tried to discern a concensus (and got a nasty rug-burn), and propose our next meeting to be Jan 29, 2013, whereupon we will not only scrim but also shaw at piano keys and/or ivory piano-key veneer using pokey things and then ink them, at a place to be determined (Pam A's or elsewhere if the ink/residue is likely to be too messful). If this is not agreeable 2 youse, signify by writing back and proposing a counterproposal (and include a rose).

In the meanwhilst, in your copulous free time, please make up new month names, per our previous calendar, and I might rustle up the energy to put another calendar together. Until then, enJoin bANdits and gUArds to cRY* will not yet exist and we will wander aimlessly through 2013. Depending upon the number/quality/timeliness of responses received, I will offer choices up for a vote or just pick the outstanding suggestions myself or ignore it for another time.

Leslie proposes two other projects (for subsequent meetings):
1) Little people: inspired by Mary Mac's little wooden people, we could collect wood scraps and paste/paint us up a crowd.
2) Summarize life in just Six Words: see http://www.sixwordstories.net/category/subject/funny/
 This appears to be quite addictive.
  I can't stop stopping at six.
  I came, saw, conquered. 'Nuff said.

Or we could carve six-word valentines in piano-key ivory and send them to the veterans.
*a sad off-the-cuff serving suggestion

Dianne replies:
I will bring my keys. I'll get a more extensive list of possible supplies together in the next day or so. I will bring some keys still intact and I'll remove the ivory veneer from others in case anyone wants to make something jewelry like. The stems are rather narrow (don't know if these are standard sized keys or not). Anyhow, I think this could be cool.
I'll get back to everyone with supply list and whatever other info I think you may find helpful.

Fwd: Meeting?

Mz Bitsey wondered when the next meeting was to be, and I thought we'd settled on a date, but my notes only show that LB has exams on the 15th and 22nd. Are we too late to meet tomorrow, Jan 8? Can we wait until Jan 29? If we don't get a quorum tonight and a location to meet in, tomorrow is probably out. It's late already, and some people don't keep their 'puters on all day.

Dianne had proposed scraping out some scrimshaw on a passel of old piano keys. Requires a scratchy/etching tool and some type of ink to fill in the scratchy parts. Hmm, I'm wondering if we have enough time to finger this out for tomorrow.

Holla back for when you all wanna meet, and if you're interested in being hospitable.

Remember, SANEliness is next to Craftiness.

Happy New Year, Sanesters!

Do we have a date set up?  January?  February?  We could make Valentines for those we love or feel otherwise about.  
Yrs trly,
