Okay, all the puzzles of the piece are together. The Where for tomorrow's meeting is:
[drum roll, or spring roll]
Pamela A's place, like nearly always!
It won't be hard to find, unless there is another blizzard like this afternoon. I mean, it will still be in the same place, it just might be harder to see through all the cruft.
So SANE Meeting, Tues, 22 March 2011, 7ish, at Pam A's
Be there and go duck yourself!

SANE Details
The where of the meeting is still in flux, but the what of the meeting is duck/ductape slippers.
Duckmaster Betsey sends the following cryptic comments:
To bring:
Scissors
embellishments
A tracing of both feet (onto card stock then cut out. you can also add thin foam cut out to your foot shape if you want cushy slippers)
A sock stuff with something to imitate foot shape so that you can
build height of slipper with the duct tape
If you have interesting duct tape.
Otherwise I will bring some.
Google duct tape slippers to see the various methods.
Duckily,
Betsey
For those who may not be able to folllow the above, I'll translate:
Bring Sharp Objects, especially those encrusted with jewels. Or extra toes or buckles.
Bring your feet, or some cardboard cut the same shape as their bottoms. One at a time. If your feet are the same size, just make one and turn it over when required. Unless this will be the sole of the shoes, in which case two would be better in order to, like, walk.
To walk on clouds (if you don't want to stand on your hands and stretch way up), cut pieces of foam (or carpet, or Dr. Scholl's Gels, or lambs' wool, or pillows, or actual clouds) the same shape as your foot bottoms, or slightly smaller.
Make turkey stuffing and fill a sock with same, and mold it into the shape of your foot. No onions, that would be stinky. [If you had old shoes, you could mold them inside your shoes, then cut away the shoe part to remove the stuffed sock without distorting its shape - I added that part].
If the duck/duct tape you have in your closet, basement, wine cellar, duck pond or jewelry drawers is of sufficiently high quality (argyle, bejeweled, silken, yak-hair covered, etc.), bring it along to tantalize us and make us jealous.
Betsey will bring normal run-of-the-mill ducks and tapes.
Somebody called Google Duck made a tape of slippers, in an effort to visualize different types of same. If only we could find Google Duck and get his tape, we could get a better idea of what we're doing. Oh well.
Ductily,
Rebetsey of DuckyBrook Farm

SANE Tuesday
Plans are firming up for Tomorrow's meeting, where we will assemble
shoes (et. al.) out of duck (or duct) tape, Cher willing. More as owls arrive.
Feel free to wear one-way shoes to the meeting, as you'll no doubt have footwear for the trek home. I mean that. Sad to say, I really mean that.

SANE Meeting Tues 22 March 2011
Five of our intrepid cold-resistant members drove out through the ice-islands to park on the glaciers in B-mont in the sub-freezing chill of last Tuesday (one lived there), and half busily chopped and sliced and got their grunge caught in the wringer of Pam's glorious and durable Sizzix machine, whilst the other half chatted amiably and munched excellent cookies and nibbled bon-bons whilst recovering from frostbite. A good time was. By everybody, even. All hail Pam the hostess, who was then taking on a passel of Gurl Sprouts on Wednesday. Oy!
Next month, due to overwhelming demand, we will be creating Duck/Duct
Tape objects. The lead candidate is Duck/Duct Tape Shoes (and there is rumor of embossed grunge paper soles - oh, rapture!). Betsey will be in charge of getting all our Ducks/Ducts in a row (before taping them). Bring your own favorite color of Duck/Duct Tape (quack black, mallard mauve, mandarin mahogany, etc.) I'm going for teal teal, myself, as it matches my duck's eyes (or ducts). More info will be forthcoming, if there is any info to be had. I suppose we should bring scissors, tape, ducks. If you don't have ducks, bring shotguns, hunting rifles and hound dogs and we'll rustle some up at the start of the meeting. And if you're going to make shoes, bring your feet!
P.S. Don't forget Flip's show, or Mary's which I know next-to-nada about. Golly, with eye-catching plugs like this, I should go into PR (I mean Puerto Rico).
